Instructions

  • Is My Leather Absorbent?

    Your leather must be absorbent before applying our leather recoloring balm. Here's how to check:

    Place a few droplets of water on the surface of the leather, preferably somewhere that has no damage. If the water is absorbed into the leather, and the color of the leather surface darkens, this means your leather is absorbent. This means the manufacturer's original leather finish has worn off or was never applied.

    If the water sits on top of the surface of the leather, this means your leather is non-absorbent. There’s nothing to worry; this is normal. This means that the manufacturer's leather finish is still coating your leather. You just need to strip the manufacturer's finish using Clyde's Leather Prep and Deglaze.

  • How Much Do I Need?

    Once the balm has completely cured it is advised that you don't apply more. Thus, we recommend having the recommended amount at time of application. That being said, a little goes a very long way.

    If you have extra after your restoration job, we'll pay you to send it back for a refund or we'll discount the original order. Don't hesitate to contact us for assistance!

  • 4 Step Instructions

    Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Process - a tried-and-tested solution for leather repair and restoration. Developed through years of research, customer reviews, and expert input, this easy-to-follow process ensures impressive results. Please follow the steps as directed to avoid undesirable outcomes.

    STEP 1 CLEAN YOUR LEATHER: Begin by cleaning the leather surface with Clyde's Leather Cleaning Foam and a cloth. This step effectively removes embedded dirt and dust from the leather pores.

    STEP 2 ABSORBENCY TEST: If the leather isn't absorbent, use Clyde's Leather Preparer and Deglazer to remove the original finish. This product strips the leather of non-absorbent oils, preparing it for the recoloring balm.

    STEP 3 APPLY RECOLORING BALM: Apply Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm sparingly, massaging it into the leather using the included sponge. Allow 24-36 hours for the balm to cure. Once fully cured, additional balm cannot be applied.

    STEP 4 CONDITION LEATHER: Following the balm application, apply Clyde's Natural Leather Conditioner to seal the balm, prevent color transfer, and extend the life of your leather. For detailed instructions, click here.

Product Info

  • Description

    The expensive leather you paid a fortune for years ago has now become scratched, torn, or dented. It's not just the money you've spent on it but also the time, effort, and love that went into picking the perfect item. You can't bear the thought of throwing it away, but you also don't know how else to fix up that worn-out look without breaking the bank. Here's where Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm comes in.

    Until Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm, recoloring your leather meant using expensive dyes which contain toxic and harmful ingredients and often leave leather cracked and dry. We changed that. Our high-tech recoloring balm recolors leather while improving its lifespan tenfold; restoring leather's natural color, filling in old scratches, and usable on any leather surface, including your car seats, sofas, boots, jackets, saddles, bags and more...

  • Color Chart

    Use our color swatches to help color match! If your leather is not an exact match, don't worry. You have a few options:

    1. You can mix colors to achieve a more complex color profile
    2. You can increase or decrease amount of balm applied to surface

    Darker colors are achieved by applying more coats

    • Lighter colors are achieved by applying less coats
    • Color swatches are paired with HEX color codes for standardization.

    If you need help, please chat with our team here!

  • FAQs

    Would balm stain my clothing or rub off? No, the balm doesn't color transfer when applied correctly and given the correct amount of time to cure. It's designed to chemically bond with the leather surface.

    How long does it take to cure? Upon contact, our balm will begin to chemically bond with the surface of your leather. However, you must wait 24 hours after application to begin using your leather again. Once cured, you will need to seal the balm with our leather conditioning cream.

    Can colors be mixed? Colors can be mixed to achieve any desired color. Please submit a contact form here, and we will help you pick the right colors.

    Can I change the color of my leather? Any color balm can recolor any color leather. I.e. a black leather surface can be recolored to light brown or white. If going from a darker color to a lighter color, more coats of the balm will need to be applied.

    What is Clyde's 4-Step Process? Our easy and highly effective method for leather recoloring and repair, backed by years of trial and error, thousands of customer reviews, and feedback from dozens of professional leather workers. The process consists of cleaning, absorbency testing, recoloring, and conditioning your leather.

    Are your recoloring products flammable or corrosive? There are no solvents, flammable or corrosive materials present in any product except our leather prep and degalzer. For our deglazer, avoid conact with eyes and skin. Do not ingest any of our products.

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I originally bought this balm (dark brown) to dye some leather for a cosplay. It's been an great product, so far I have colored a pair of tall boots, some leather straps, a belt and even my worn hikers (pictured). I still have half a container left, well worth the price to save a pair of expensive boots.

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Our 20 year old Ethan Allen sectional is still in great shape, but the original dark grey color faded to a cracked, sickly light Grey from sun damaged in our great room. The photo shows partial completed project with the contrast from areas treated with the Dark Grey balm to sun faded sections. I chipped away at the project over 2 weeks and used all 3 of the products: Cleaner, balm and conditioner. The results are nothing short of spectacular and our sectional is fully restored to original beauty. Easy products to use! Thanks Clyde's for a great product and fast shipping when I had to order more product.

    20+ years of 6 kids, dogs, sleepovers, stayovers, movie nights, holidays ... LIFE! ... left a well worn finish ... but the structure/seams perfect ... swear I heard our dear couch sigh with pleasure as it drank in the balm! The Restoration was amazing! And results immediate!! Super easy and fun to boot! Oh! Did a pair of boots next... pleased all over again. Will highly recommend on any real leather... never tried faux.

    The before and after photos speak volumes! I had to replace the insert on my drivers seat. I bought a replacement in black. With Clyde’s help I mixed black and green to achieve an excellent match! The balm covers incredibly well!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    The color matched perfectly. Went on smoothly. I’m ecstatic since my sofa looks just like it did in the show room . That beautiful rich color is back! And the product doesn't come off on your hands it’s part of the leather. Ordered more for my boots and conditioner. Thanks for posting on Facebook no furniture store was able to help me on how to restore the color. You guys did!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    This was so easy to do. I started with just one square because I was afraid it would be a mess. I was wrong!!!! I wiped this product on and that was it. It dried very fast. It did not wipe off. I even took a white towel and tried to buff it. Because of it, being black, I just knew it may rub off on the towel…. But it did not! It was fast and easy to apply. As I walk by it and admire how well it turned out… I thought … I have to leave a review! (Which is something I never do)

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I have been searching for something to fix these seats for years! I have tried EVERYTHING! Since I NEVER give up, I was searching again this week and found Clyde’s Leather Care Kit and decided to try it out. What could it hurt, right?!? It came in today and I tried it right away. I am VERY SATISFIED with the results! If you have leather, especially king ranch leather, and your seats look like mine did, give it a try! I couldn’t be happier with the end result! I HIGHLY recommend it, as well as wearing gloves for the application. My hands got a little dirty, but it did come off easily. GREAT PRODUCT!

    Dyed my white leather couch brown and it completely hanged the room! It took three coats but each coat required less to cover fully. 10/10 (this is my second project with this company and I've gotten perfect results both times!

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I love restoring vintage couture bags. Particularly when I find them at 10% of retail cost! I LOVE Clyde's products! Much easier to use than dyes, which can be uneven and affect finish. I am a professional artist and am a stickler for quality paints and brushes. Clyde's fits right in with the rest of my tools in my studio.

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I cannot overstate how amazing this stuff is! We were resigned to buying a new couch because ours had big patches of discoloration and looked awful. I googled, found this, and decided it was worth a shot. We got the dark grey and dark brown to mix, and after a few coats, our couch literally looks brand new! I’m so impressed and grateful!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Clyde to the rescue again. I have a very expensive designer brand cream colored lamb leather jacket that oxidized and caused it to look blotchy yellow. It looked terrible. I bought beige color because I wanted to mute the ugly yellow oxidation. It did just that beautifully and it’s wearable again! Thank you so much!

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Works great if you ask me! My leather had no cracks just wear marks. Cleaned and conditioned the leather first, then applied the recoloring balm. Did a coat, let it dry, buffed it and did another coat. Very happy with the results. Highly recommend!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Amazing results! Stupid how easy it is to revive a 30year old leather seat, a child would be able to get the same result. This saved me a ton of money. 10/10 ⭐️ / With love from Sweden

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Our 17 year old leather chair was not looking good. The structure of the chair was still comfortable, but it was an eyesore in our living room. These products saved the day! 3 hours of labor followed by curing resulted in what looks like a new chair! We are so pleased with the results! We used only 1 kit, however, we felt we needed more cleaning foam and deglazer (only 2 oz.?). We barely had enough to finish the job for those steps. Overall, we will sing the praises of these products! Just feel that for the price of the kit, we should not have been panicked that we couldn't finish 1 chair and ottoman. Thank you for understanding and we are getting rave reviews on social media over the project. Expect more sales. Sincerely, The Dancers

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I have a really expensive cream colored purse that turned yellow and had stains where it looked hideous. It was not usable and I almost threw it out. I figured might as well try to recolor it- I have nothing to lose. I tried to other cheaper brands and they didn’t cover anything. I saw the reviews on this but none for cream or white. This was my last attempt. It worked surprisingly well. I chose light beige which took the yellow tint out of the leather and covered the browning at the handles. The bag is back to being a solid cream color that is usable. One note is to be careful around metal hinges on bag as the color will cover it (you can scrap it off metal with fingernail). Overall very happy with the product and will use it again on any other leather damage I incur. Thank you

    Great product! Easy to use and get amazing results! The color match was perfect. Check out my before and after pic in this review. Plan on using multiple applications if the leather is very cracked, but a little goes a long way.

    LOVEING this Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm is an understatement! My purse looks like new. It went from very worn everywhere to AMAZING! Next is to purchase some for my leather furniture.

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I had to leave a review for this company. I purchased a 10 year old leather chair off of Facebook marketplace. It was in good condition, but definitely worn and faded. I figured I’d try to revive the color and bring some life back to it. The number one thing I was worried about when looking for a leather coloring balm was that it would leave cracking and flaking. But I found this company and the reviews were so positive that I decided to try them out. I was completely blown away by the results! Just the recoloring balm alone made my chair look new again AND made it softer. It was a perfect color match, easy to use, and brought this ten year old chair back to life. The remoisturizing cream was the cherry on top to ensure added softness and that I was caring for my leather. 100% recommend this company! It brought my 10 year old chair back to life and now it can live on even longer.

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    I bought these to use with my leather crafts-tooling, dying, etc. I love cream based dyes, as they are harder to spill and highlight my stamped images better than liquid dyes. The Clyde Leather dyes are available in a nice assortment of colors. They are easy to apply and to clean up after. (I just wash the applicator sponge with soap & water.) There is an odor, but it is minimal and I do not find it bothersome. My photo shows a test piece with some tooling and 3 coats of pink.

    My dog had scratched the leather badly on the sofa. It was easy to use the conditioner to prepare the leather for the color. Has lasted better after a couple months than the treatment a professional did. My friends are impressed!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    This product is AWESOME. The chair and ottoman had 30 years of sun cats and neglect. We were ready to take them to the dump and as a last-ditch effort we tried your product. Well to our delight they look new and can be used for many years to come. Things went so well we did two more chairs with the same excellent results. Ty and Cindy

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    The product has been amazing. It was so easy to use and it saved our brand new beautiful chairs that were destroyed by the sun. It took me no time at all to complete the project and the chairs dried very quickly . I have recommended this product to a lot of people and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it in the future.

    Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    This stuff is amazing! So far I’ve ordered 3 different colors for different chairs, and it works wonders. This vintage Ekornes chair was cracking and discolored EVERYWHERE when I picked it up. I used the dark brown refinisher all over and it looked almost brand new! Even my husband was amazed. I also love that a little bit goes such a long way. I did the entire chair and ottoman with maybe 1/4 of the small container. Would definitely recommend!

    Customer photo review of Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm

    This motorcycle seat terribly dry and neglected for years. When I purchased the motorcycle I scrubbed the mold and mildew from the seat and cleaned it as good as I thought possible. I purchased the black dye from Clyde’s and what a change it made. I originally thought I was going to have to purchase a new seat but no, Clyde’s dye penetrated and softened the old once looking leather to like new condition. Very much recommend Clyde’s products
