If in doubt, go Satin

Available in kits: Yes
Tips:
Protect your work area and wear gloves
Work quickly
Avoid disturbing the coating whilst drying
Can be mixed with leather paint and aniline dyes
Troubleshooting:
If the application of Topcoat disturbs the colour coatings, the colour coatings need more drying time.
If you have purchased a topcoat that is shinier than you require, Dulling Agent can be used to reduce the level of shine
If you have purchased Matte topcoat, be sure to use Dulling Agent in your Leather Paint to align the level of shine of both coatings
Matte Topcoat is best applied by spray gun. If hand application appears streaky, apply one full coat and allow drying. For the second coat (and third if needed) try mixing 10-20% leather paint into the Topcoat.
Test before use: Always test products in an inconspicuous area first. There are many makers of leather and leather coatings and whilst most are to standard, there may be some that are not.
Storage: Lid on tight and away from direct UV light and heat (in a cool dark cupboard). Avoid contaminating the contents with baterial sources including skin.
Don't Take Our Word For It

I really love these products as they do what the manufacturer claims. The leather outdoor furniture I have is 14 years old and after the treatment looks as good as new.
Bought some midnight black to give the Colorado steering wheel a birthday as it was starting to fade at the top. Came up like new. Stoked!
The top of my steering wheel was sun damage and I investigated repairing it myself. I did a lot of research on the internet and landed on the Hero topcoat sealer. I didn't need to undertake all the repair steps mainly conditioning the leather and a black marking pen for colour. I applied a couple of coats on the affected area and one coat on the remainder of the steering wheel for consistency. It has worked a treat and I'm delighted with the result.
I can’t believe you can return tiered old leather brand new!
Worked better than i expected restoring an old cracked and dried out 1986 leather steering wheel. I originally bought the matte topcoat but ended up buying the satin one separately afterwards as i don't have a spray gun and couldn’t achieve a good look.
Excellent result. Follow instructions given paying attention to drying & curing times & the results are fantastic.
I have used several of the Leather Hero products and each one has proven to do exactly what they are advertised to do, Brilliant !!
I've had unsealed leather before so I know it can stain easily. Wanted to seal my light tan aniline boots before wearing them. This topcoat did the job well.
Great product. Job done ! Very clear instructions for use sent to my email made it much easier. Thanks !
Really good products. I am a very happy repeat customer.
i just painted a sofa absolutely thrilled with the way it's turned out
I recoloured our white couches and they came up great.
