To remove light scratches caused by a cat (for example) or to improve the aspect of important scratches, Valmour recommends several products :
First, make sure that your leather is completely clean and grease-free: if necessary, on the areas in contact with the skin or hair, eliminate the sebum with Stain Remover Hussard . Afterwards wash all the leather withCleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL. This is as important as washing your hands before applying a cream!
If small leather shavings appear on the surface, they can easily be removed by lightly sanding with the Fine Block Sander VALMOUR.
Then apply a product according to the following 3 scenarios :
1- If the scratches are superficial, apply one of the balms listed below :
- Renovating Balm Paste AVEL cleans, nourishes and protects. Available in neutral only. High wax content, adapted for shiny leather.
- Cream Renovator AVEL cleans, nourishes, protects, and re-colours. Available in 20 shades. Product with the strongest re-colouring power, because it contains a high concentation of pigments and waxes (to help fill up scratches in the best way) . Recommended for leather aged between 5-15 years starting to show scratches and discolourations.
Based on mink oil and beeswax, these products renovate and nourish the leather, eliminate scratches and prevent tearing and toughening of the leather. Some have light dyeing faculties.
2- In case of deeper (but not too numerous) scratches leaving the leather bare, opt for Renovating Cream Saphir. It is a very covering concentrate of pigments, ideal for a localized touch up. Apply with the help on a Foam Applicator Pad without making it penetrate.
3- In case of many deep scratches, choose Pigmenting Cream AVEL and its Pigmenting Cream Fixing Liquid AVEL which re-pigments your leather in-depth, as if it were new. This method is more expensive but gives fantastic results. The colour of the dye can be made-to-order.
PS: To glue on leather fragments which have become detatched, use Leather Glue Valmour beforehand.
Afterwards, we strongly recommend to protect your leather with Anti-Stain Leather Spray AVEL against foods stains, sebum deposit on headrests and dirt.
Protect your hands with the Nitrile Gloves below.
