All the deteriorated leather balm need to be remove for better appearance and this removal process is performed with Degreaser-2.2 > Acidifier-2.0

After the residue removal process the dryness is hydrated with Hydrator-3.3 to plumps the leather structure from shrinkage possibility closing up the cracks before topping up the fat and oil content with Fatliquor-5.0
