Red Leather Lounge Suite Rejuvinated
Products Used: Wipe-On Leather Restoration Kit
Sharon has a semi aniline leather suite which put simply, is dyed leather with a very thin clear sealer.
A downside to dyed leather is it fades very quickly in direct sunlight. So what I did for Sharon is custom make a restoration kit with a special bonding primer and the colour made with pigments rather than dye. Pigments are far more fade resistent and more suitable for DIY work.
Here's a photo of one of the couches BEFORE restoration ...
