Leather Re-coloring Balm This balm penetrates deeply into all absorbent leather types, including aniline, pigmented, oil/wax pull-up, bi-cast, and antique finishes, restoring the ivory color while softening and conditioning the leather. It conceals minor damage such as fading, cat scratches, and drying out without rubbing off on clothing after buffing. The product is easy to apply by rubbing it in circular motions and then buffing off any excess. Usually, one application is sufficient, but successive coats can be applied for darker or more intense coloring. The balm is colorfast after drying, ensuring no transfer on fabric or clothing. For optimal results, cleaning the leather prior to application and protecting it afterward with Leather Protection Cream is recommended. The balm is typically reapplied every three years and is suitable for various leather items including furniture, car interiors, shoes, clothing, and handbags.
