Do you intend to do isolated touch-ups or treat all areas?
You might be wondering if you should treat each isolated problem area separately or the entire lounge. Either strategy can work.
Option 1: Isolated touch-ups and spot repairs - With careful surface prep, a well-blended repair can be virtually undetectable.
| PROS |
CONS |
| Can be less expensive |
Good colour and sheen match is important |
| Usually, best if the affected area is small and the rest of the leather is in overall very good condition; eg (on a relatively new car or lounge) |
Treated areas can look decidedly fresh and new in contrast with untreated areas that usually display ingrained soiling, dye stains and a patina of surface wear that cannot be resolved by cleaning alone (typical to older furniture) |
Option 2: Treating all areas - Refinishing the entire surface of your lounge, car seats, handbag or jacket can give amazing results and is usually best for older leather.
| PROS |
CONS |
| Can be easier than blending in a spot repair |
Can be more expensive |
| Optimum results as colour and finish (sheen) are consistently new, clean and unified throughout |
Usually not the best solution for small areas of damage if the leather is new and in overall very good condition |
| A perfect colour match is less critical |
|
| A colour change is possible |
|
| All over new coatings provide new layers of protection |
