  • Instructions

    Start with Clean, Dry Leather
    Ensure your leather is free of dust and completely dry before application. Use the included Leather Cleaning Foam to lift dirt and grime, then wipe it away with a clean towel.

    Prep the Leather
    Perform an absorbency test by dabbing a small amount of water onto the surface. If the leather repels water, use the Leather Prep and Deglaze Solution to remove any finish and allow proper absorption.

    Apply the Recoloring Balm
    Use the provided sponge to apply a small amount of balm to the leather. Gently massage it in using circular motions for an even application. The balm absorbs instantly but allow time for full coverage. For deeper color, apply additional layers as needed. Wait 5 minutes between coats, buffing the surface lightly before adding another layer to prevent streaks or flaking.

    Seal and Protect
    Once the balm has cured, apply the Conditioning Cream using a clean towel. This locks in the color, prevents drying and cracking, and protects against future wear.

    Let It Cure
    Allow the leather to rest for 24–36 hours before use. If streaks or uneven patches appear, gently buff the surface with a damp towel for a smooth, even finish.

Instructions

  • Our 4-Step Process

    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.

  • 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...

    Disclaimer: Our recoloring balm works for most absorbent leather surfaces, except calf, nubuck and suede 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? 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.

    This was such a great kit. I was thinking I was going to have to recolour the whole chair but the colour actually matched so perfectly. So happy with my whole experience.

    Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Kit

    Customer photo review of Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Kit

    My saddle was getting very discoloured, and I’m pretty happy with this recoloring balm ! I skipped the deglazing part thinking my saddle was absorbing enough, but I think I should have used it, because applying the balm in circles made a lot of streaks. So I had to improvise and tap it in (just like makeup with a beauty blender), took a long time but no streaks at all ! It’s not perfectly seamless like I wanted it to be, but it looks much better as you can see in the photos. I haven’t applied the conditioning cream yet, so I hope it’ll make it look even better and smoother ! In conclusion, definitely use the deglazing to make sure your leather is totally absorbing

    This is the best product ever. It brought my extremely dirty white purse back to life. It looks just like it did when I first got it! It was an extremely time consuming process, especially since I was trying to lighten the leather, but it was worth every second! I’d buy it again ten times over.

    Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Kit

    Customer photo review of Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Kit

    I decided to recolor my parents old leather couch for myself because it was a good quality and buying a new one would cost over $2K. I was skeptical because it’s a dark color and I didn’t think I would be able to cover it. I was very pleasantly surprised! I tested on a small area and I actually thought it wouldn’t work, it took 3 coats because it was dark to begin with but after the third coat it looked brand new. My advice would be to make sure to do the deglazing step very throughly. The areas that were harder to cover are ones I didn’t deglaze as well. It also took more to color it than the suggestion (though I did need 3 coats which is partly why), but after it was finished I spent $250 rather than $2,000 on a new looking leather couch!

    Customer photo review of Clyde's 4-Step Leather Recoloring Kit

    I refinished an 18 year old Century Sectional that had been in our sunroom and was greatly distressed. I followed Clyde’s directions to the letter. It took several days to allow the cleaning and deglazing to completely dry on all cushions. It took a more time and effort to get the color restored and balanced than I anticipated working one cushion at a time. But, I am very pleased with the finish and I’ve had numerous compliments. We will using this sectional for many years to come.

    We used this kit even if I am nervous the color will rub off to my pants. A few days later I tried to wipe the seats with a cloth and NO dye came off! I rubbed and rubbed in several places to make sure we would not get any dye on our clothes, and it was clean. I had succeeded!

    I am very impressed with this leather balm. Thought my bag couldn't be repaired, but with all these products and effort, I got great results! I used the leather prep first and then the balm to recolor, patiently allowed each coat to dry in between otherwise it just took the color of again.

    Our couches are nearly 20 years old and have seen many dogs, all valued members of the family. Lots of scratches and wear and tear! Clyde’s refurbishing process has given us more years again. The thought of buying new couches with our current dog seemed like a waste of money so this has been brilliant as the frames, springs and cushions and even the leather is still serviceable.
