Restoration Hardware RH Maxwell leather sofa

I'm getting a new to me RH Maxwell leather sofa from my office (we’re going fully remote), and it’s probably a 7-year-old couch that still has a lot of life to it. There are no major concerns other than some shoe scuffs on the feet, but I want to give it a fresh rehab before my family takes it over.

Would this be sufficient to cover all of my bases, or do I need additional products? I read in the review that the lady needed to buy the Aniline Top-76G after. And on that product page, it says to apply Leather Scent Protector-B+ after that. Is that all necessary or is there anything else recommended?

If you want to give it a new fresh rehab, it means you need to give it a refinish with Aniline Top-76G found with this Kit Aw6.tc.

It also depends on how severe the finishes damages are, if you show pictures to our help and support forum here, I can give more precise advice.

For Aniline Wax Pull-up leathers (all from Restoration Hardware) the Protector that sync with the Leather Wax Pull-up-8.6 is Protector-D instead of B.
And the leather scent version is Leather Scent Protector-D+ instead of B+

Anything else recommended will depend on the problems you need to solve, you can use this matrix to determine what else you need.

And if you post the pictures mentioned above, I can help you determine what further you need or sufficient to cover.
The product coverage not only depends on size but also on ‘dryness’ as both the fatliquor and wax Pull-up are VOC volatile organic compound that evaporates.
If the fatliquor (fat and oil) content is about 14%, then it is what the average tannery standard is when measured with a leather moisture meter.
When measured at the time this sofa has been upholstered it may or may not be at about 14% as evaporation continues after fatliquoring.
And after 7 years at the office, it could not remain at 14% unless it is periodically replenished with the same ionic negative (-ve) charged fat and oil and not with after-market staffing incompatible conditioners.

Thanks for helping out here Roger!

Here are some images of the shape of the couch is in. Looks better in person than in pictures, but yea if it needs new conditioners that's fine too. Basically, I want to rehab it as much as I can, then have something on hand for ongoing maintenance.

>>> Here are some images of the shape of the couch is in. Looks better in person than in pictures, but yea if it needs new conditioners that's fine too.

I look through the pictures and one issue that caught my eye is the overstretched wrinkles on the seat cushion.
This overstretching can be reverted when we shrunk back by hydration. Hydration will cause the over-stretched fibers to swell thus making the leather structure more taut or tight. When the dimension is improved, further fatliquor (fat and oil) reconditioning to fill up the empty fiber will further improve the tautness of the dimension, otherwise, it will be easily stretched again with no bounce back.

>>>Basically, I want to rehab it as much as I can,

To rehab is almost talking about a near-to-showroom missing a redying as an option. Since this Maxwell is an aniline dye through leather, we could activate the dormant dyestuff from the structure itself to redistribute to the surface naturally and bring back it's original coloring, rather than mess around with new dyestuff which needs a little higher skill level to control. Color and evenness of appearance will be highly magnified and intensified with Hydrator-3.3, Fatliquor-5.0, Wax Pull-up-8.6, and Topcoat-76G. Redyeing is still possible over the topcoat for further satisfaction, because Aniline-76 is formulated to coat instead of staining. You can test it on a plastic bottle, compared to a staining dyestuff that is impossible to dye a plastic bottle.
