Dye and Ink Stain Removal System
Remove stubborn stains through the penetrating, lubricating, and suspending power of Prep-7.7 to solve common problem stains found on pigmented leather seats like dye transfer from clothing including blue jeans and leather belts; not forgetting the newsprint and the tougher ballpoint ink.
Instructions
1. If the stain is a failed attempt from using other products, it’s recommended to use tap water for a wet finger test for tackiness or sliminess. If it is, acidifying it with Acidifier-2.0 found in Kit AP3.T to return the leather to a squeaky feel is highly recommended prior to Prep-7.7 application.
2. Apply Prep-7.7 to the stain and let dwell for ½ to 1 hour until stain begins to run.
3. Blot the suspended stain and check if the leather color is removed at the same time, especially where the topcoat has already worn out prior to application; protective matching satin or matte luster Topcoat-72 is recommended to further protect the colorcoat after Rinse-3.0, even though color may remain intact. Stain removal needs to be continued and completely removed; otherwise it will eventually wick up through the new finishes too.
4. Repeat application for older penetrated stains and allow for a longer 4 to 8 hours dwelling time to exhaust the stain, then repeat blotting and checking the stability of the leather finish until satisfactory.
5. Sticky residue is removed by Cleaner-3.8 with gentle brush agitation into creases and towel blot until towel shows clean.
6. This removal system completes with Rinse-3.0 spray and towel blot to a squeaky clean.

Restorative Cleaning System
This is the ultimate restorative or salvage cleaning system that removes accumulated soiling including the unwanted aged old conditioners to its original OEM finishes. Accumulated soiling that fills creases is often mistaken for cracks. This restorative cleaning is also achieved by the strength of the Prep-7.7 to effectively deflocculates those tough soiling with the help of the detailing horsehair Brush-1.
Instructions

Stain removal needs to be continued; otherwise it will eventually wick up on the new finishes too.
4. Sticky residue is removed by Cleaner-3.8 with gentle brush agitation and extract until towel shows clean.
5. This restorative cleaning system ends with Rinse-3.0 spray and towel extract to a squeaky clean.

Periodic Cleaning System
