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 ...
