koppelburger- Nubuck sofas
roger,
We are going to try and restore these nubuck sofas. The client tried working on the this himself and sanded and scrubbed the back cushion too aggressively and turned the area into suede and made it darker than everything else. The rest of the seat cushions and smooth and developing a shine, they look more like aniline.
We deep cleaned and tried restoring the cushions, but we cannot get it as dark as the area that looks like suede and the customer would like it at least that dark. We have used Degrease 2.2 multiple times,cleaned, hydrated, fatliquored dried and erased. If you have other suggestions we would appreciate your opinion. All cushions have zippers so we have been able to work from the back side too.
I'm sending a swatch so we can order dye.
