Instructions

How do i use it?

Step 2 in our 4-step process is using our leather prep and deglazing solution. You are only required to use this solution if your leather is non-absorbent. If your leather is absorbent, you're in the clear to skip to leather recoloring balm application.

View complete instructions here.

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 our deglazer.

The 4-Step Process

STEP 1 CLEAN YOUR LEATHER: Clean leather surface using Clyde's Leather Cleaning Foam and a rag. This removes dirt and dust that has been burried in the leather pores.

STEP 2 ABSORBENCY TEST: If leather isn't absorbent, remove original finish using our Clyde's Leather Preparer and Deglazer. This will strip the leather of oils that make it non-absorbent.

STEP 3 APPLY RECOLORING BALM: Apply Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm in a conservative manner, messaging the balm into the leather using the sponge included. Allow 24-36 hours for balm to cure.

STEP 4 CONDITION LEATHER: Apply Clyde's Natural Leather Conditioner following balm application. This will seal the balm and prevent color transfer, as well as extend the life of your leather.

Product Info

Description

We scoured best-sellers and selected items to review. After testing our picks ourselves, we couldn't find anything that values absorbency testing. There are two types of leather: absorbent and non-absorbent. Oftentimes, leather isn't absorbent, which means the manufacturer's finish is still applied. This prevents the leather to absorb and use other leather care products, whether it's a recoloring balm or conditioner. Failure to deglaze non-absorbent leather leads to streaking and peeling. At Clyde's, we offer a leather deglazing solution that will prepare your leather for balm application. Our deglazing solution strips the finish of the leather, allowing our balm to be applied successfully.

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...
