Leather Revive

The Leather Revive EXPERT LINE is a specialised fat-and-water-based emulsion designed to deeply soften old, dry and tough leather.

The components that makeup the Leather Revive, when penetrating the leather, distribute themselves between the fibres, separating them and increasing their slippage against each other, which results in a significant increase in the plasticity, softness and durability of the leather.

The Leather Revive softening agent is used to restore the softness of leather and has the following unique properties:

• Deeply softens the leather;
• Nourishes and conditions the leather;
• Restores old, dried out leather;
• Unique, water based formula;
• High class environmentally friendly.

SURFACE PREPARATION

The process of softening leather has several important steps which must be carefully followed in order to obtain a good result.

The surface to be softened must be thoroughly cleaned of dust, dirt and foreign matter, using a professional the Leather Ultimate Cleaner.

In the case of heavy soiling and grease stains in the leather, the dirt and grease must first be removed using the Leather Degreaser.

If you want to effectively soften a dyed leather type or semi-aniline leather type, which includes almost all automotive leathers, we recommend first removing the loose old finish with a special Leather Solvent Cleaner or the Leather Prep leather degreaser.

Once the leather is thoroughly cleaned and prepared, leather softener can be applied.

APPLICATION

The Leather Revive leather softener is used during the leather renewal process, when all or part of the old, worn-out finish is removed, or when the leather is primarily absorbent and is capable of taking up fatiguing oils and components efficiently. This considerably increases the absorbency of the leather itself and maximises the effectiveness of the Leather Revive leather softener.

1. Apply the Leather Revive leather softener generously and evenly to the leather and start kneading the leather thoroughly over the entire surface. It is important to knead and massage the leather, as this helps to achieve a deeper and more even distribution of the ingredients in the leather structure.
2. For maximum effect, apply the product once again in a thin layer on the leather and cover with cling film. Allow it to dry for a few hours, or leave it on overnight for best results. The product will further absorb into the leather, softening it.
3. Using a damp and clean cloth soak excess product from the surface of the leather. Then wipe with a dry terry towel to completely remove any residue.
4. In case of insufficient softening, repeat the procedure, paying special attention to kneading the leather.
