"This stuff is good"
Soft and supple
Over time, with lots of UV exposure and in the absence of regular cleaning and conditioning, leather can become dry and less flexible.
Softener (No.22) penetrates, lubricates and moisturises deep into the fibrous structure, restoring some of that lost suppleness.
Once a year treatment
This once a year softening treatment compliments your routine care regime.
Easy to use, simply wipe over clean leather and repeat if needed.
Some leathers are made to be stiff, others are made to be supple. Soft leathers offer a luxurious experience. Softener (No.22) helps to maximise that luxury year after year.
