How to Choose Your Products

For routine leather servicing, choose a maintanence strength cleaner suited to your leather finish type.

Before colour work and repairs, a prep strength cleaner with the power to strip waxes, silicones, oils, and emollients as well as soiling is important.

For mould, dyes and inks, look for a specialist cleaner.

Leather protection comes in a variety of forms. The most common solution is Protect (No.3), a UV and soiling barrier lotion. Other alternatives are a water repellent or a clear topcoat. Learn more here.

If you want a matching colour, opt for Sample Pots first. Use them to test, mix and adjust colours. Alternatively, we have a paid Custom Colour Mixing Service if you have a swatch of your colour. Your other option is to recolour all areas. That way a perfect match isn't required. Learn more about colour selection here.
