Re-Colouring Leather Clothes (in matching tones)

- Renovation of a leather jacket with the help of Pigmenting Cream and its Fixing Liquid -

If the leather is stained, refer to the advice card "Removing Stains from Leather Clothes".
To brighten up the colour of an article of leather clothing without a colour change, Valmour recommends  to proceed in 2 steps and proposes several products.

1- CLEANING :

The first step consists of giving your leather a thorough cleaning. Start by checking if there are any traces ob sebum on areas in contact with the skin or with hair. If sebum is present, it needs to be eliminated to prevent a sticky re-colouring result. Spray these areas with Stain remover Hussard Spray and let it work for 2 hours before rinsing with a Sponge. In all cases, clean thoroughly afterwards with the help of Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL. It takes off the successive layers of wax, gives back the leather's natural appearance and opens its pores for better penetration of the pigmenting cream.

2- RE-COLOURING :

Once your leather is perfectly clean, grease-less and dry,  re-colour it by using one of the following  3 solutions :

- light discoloration :

choose Cream Renovator Avel, an excellent  product intended for every-day care which also brightens up the colour. A reference to soften and re-colour your jackets, fur-lined jackets and any clothes  made of smooth leather. Apply with a non fluffy Cloth. Available in 21 colours.

- discoloration with scratches :

Choose Dye Juvacuir Saphir  and, if necessary, also Renovating Cream Saphir in addition for small localized touch-ups. You can also try with Polish Canadian Saphir, which is available in different colours.

- strong discoloration :

opt for Pigmenting Cream AVEL which is the last word in re-coloring. This product resumes the formulas used in the tanning industry and needs to be fixed with Pigmenting Cream Fixing Liquid. You will obtain a result of professional quality. This cream can also be made-to-order in the colour of your choice.

- localized discoloration :

in case of a small localized discolorations, try Renovating Cream Saphir. It is a concentrate of colour pigments formulated for small  touch-ups. Available in 46 colours which can be mixed together. In any case, the result is better and more homogenous if you hydrate your leather before with one of the nourishing products, even in neutral, like Renovating Balm AVEL.

ATTENTION:  if your leather has never received any care and nourishment, it is often very dry. Before recolouring, rehydrate your leather for a much better result. In this case, we recommend to nourrish your leather after cleaning with Delicate Cream Polish Saphir, an acqueous formula which hydrates and openes the leather pores, to prevent rings and for easier cleaning in case of excess product or a wrong colour.

3- FUTURE CARE:

For easy care, use Cream Renovator AVEL.
