I found this pre-loved GM Delightful. Can I please have some product recommendations for moisturizing and lightening the handle and the trim as well as overall cleaning. So far, I have only used distilled water on the canvas with a microfiber towel. If I looked up the bag info correctly.. the shoulder strap and trim are vachetta cowhide.
>>> Can I please have some product recommendations for moisturizing
Moisturizing is to replenish the original fatliquor (fat and oil about 14%) that dries up from evaporation and leaching out from alkaline liquid. To moisturize use Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system.
>>> Can I please have some product recommendations for lightening the handle and the trim
A general cleaning system followed by a moisturizing system is first done prior to lightening up the darkening appearance with Vachetta-2.8.
System includes: Prep-4.4 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 for restorative cleaning and/or Degreaser-2.2 > Acidifier-2.0 for greasing darkening effect and while still damp have to continue with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system to control leather from cracking when dry (due to lack or fatliquor). The leather is left to dry and then Vavhetta-2.8 is applied to lighten up the leather as it dries.
>>> I have only used distilled water on the canvas with a microfiber towel.
The canvass is clean with Prep-4.4 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 and when dry protect with Protector-B+.
>>> the shoulder strap and trim are vachetta cowhide.
The Protector-D is for the Vachetta.
