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 you will not be able to 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!

Our 4-Step Process

Clyde's 4-step leather recoloring process is our simple yet highly effective method of leather repair and recoloring; backed by years of trial and error, customer reviews, and professional feedback.

Use code: 4STEP for 20% off all four steps

Please note: Failure to follow 4-step process as directed will lead to undesirable results.

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. Once balm completely cures, more cannot be applied.

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.

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?
