Recommend that you follow this sequence of process.
1. Restorative Cleaning:
This phase using Degreaser-2.2 follows with Acidifier-2.0 is to degrease foreign contamination prior to Hydrator-3.3, Fatliquor-5.0 and ends with Protector-D+/D.
1.1. Shake the Degreaser-2.2 well to gel.
1.2. Transfer to the horsehair Brush-1 and apply direct onto the leather a section at a time with an even appearance.
1.3. Spray Acidifier-2.0 agitate with Brush-1 with an even appearance and terry towel extract until towel shows clean.
2. Leather Hydrating:
While the leather is damp and the towel extraction shows clean with no obvious stains or marks proceed with Hydrator-3.3. If there are penetrating marks or stain that is resurfacing then use E instruction instead.
D. Activating Dormant Dyestuff to Resurface:
D1. Saturate the thickness of the leather to an optimum level with moistures oozing out when gently pressed between thumb and fingers.
D2. Cover up with plastic wrapping to control evaporation and let it dwell up to 72 hours for excess dyestuff to resurface.
D2. Remove plastic cover and let it natural dry to observe color improvement prior to fatliquor replenishing.
E. Removing Penetrated Stains:
E1. Saturate the thickness of the leather to an optimum level with moistures oozing out when gently pressed between thumb and fingers.
E2. Cover up with plastic wrapping to control evaporation and let it dwell up to 72 hours for foreign soiling particulates to resurface.
E3. Remove plastic wrapping, replace with tissue paper without airspace to trap stains as it dries instead of remaining on the surface.
E4. Peel tissue paper when crispy dry and erase with Eraser-4 prior to fatliquor replenishing.
3. Fatliquoring:
3.1. Apply Fatliquor-5.0 and redistribute with foam brush until saturation.
3.2. Repeat application each time water contents evaporate until fully saturated.
3.3 Drive remaining surface remnants free of milky fat and oil until it turns clear with Hydrator-3.3.
3.4. Allow natural drying for extra softness.
Tips:
1. When crispy dry, prior surface contaminations/damages may darkens as soiling particulates resurface.
2. Removes soiling particulates with Eraser-4.
3. Stretching the darken areas lightly will also lightens the appearance.
4. Protection:
4.1. Shake well, mist spray and spread evenly with absorbent towel
4.2. Let natural dry and it is ready for use.
