Instruction:
This Kit AW3 requires 1.276g or 1.4 quarts distilled water to be mixed with the concentrates accordingly to 227g or 1.5 inches below the top of the 8oz bottles before ready to use.
A: Instruction - Prep 4.4, Cleaner 3.8, and Rinse 3.0 systems.
1: Prep 4.4 is spread thin with Foam 2 and allows a dwell time of 5 minutes to an hour before it dries for sufficient penetrating, lubricating, and suspending heavy accumulated soiling before cleaning.
2: Cleaner 3.8 is applied over and worked with detailing Brush 1 and suspended soiling is towel extracted until the new folding side shows clean and ready for rinsing.
3: Rinse 3.0 is applied and works again with Brush 1 and towel extracted until the new folding side is clean to a healthy squeak and ready for hydration.
B: Instruction - Hydrator 3.3 and Fatliquor 5.0 system.
1: Hydrator 3.3 is applied and spread to penetrate with Foam 2 for an even darkening appearance.
2: Massaging, staking, and flexing begin when saturated to relax stiffness, creases, and shrinkage back to dimension with satisfaction, ready for fatliquoring.
3: Fatliquor 5.0 is applied to plump the leather with saturation and leave it to dry naturally.
4: Fatliquor 5.0 application is repeated each cycle the water content evaporates leaving behind the fat and oil until the last cycle when the leather absorbs no more.
5: When almost dry staking, massaging, and flexing the leather to fully dry produce a softer leather, ready for reviving the pull-up effect.
C: Instruction - Wax Pull-Up 8.6.
1: Wax Pull Up 8.6 is applied, and absorbed evenly into the leather to produce a darkening appearance, and it is left to dry naturally.
2: A cloudy crystalline coating forms on the surface and is heat-activated into a characteristic glossy sheen.
D: Instruction - Protector W.
1: Protector W is applied and spread out with a lint-free towel let dry and the leather is ready to use.

1: What is a Leather Systematic Cycle of Care?
1.1: A leather systematic cycle of care includes preventive, routine, periodic, and restorative levels of care to bring suppleness, and appearance at all times high.
2: What is a Leather Preventive Care System?
2.1: A leather preventive care system is a non-stick, rub-resistant conditioning to increase the leather's resistance to wet and dry rubs, thus reducing stretch, scuff, and abrasion with Protector W.
3: What is a Leather Routine Care System?
3.1: A routine care system includes dust cleaning, conditioning, and attending to spots and stains as required.
3.2: Rinse 3.0 routinely neutralizing perspiration soiling prevents the leather from denaturing into tackiness.
3.3: Sanitizer 3.9 routinely sanitizing keeps a hygienic bacteria-free surface.
3.4: Deodorizer 4.5 routinely deodorizing keeps the leather free of unwanted odors.
3.5: Protector W routinely conditioning keeps the leather nonsticky and reduces friction wear.
4: What is a Leather Periodic Care System?
4.1: A periodic care system is recommended before soiling causes damage to the leather finishing.
4.2: It requires attention to body contact surfaces like the headrest and armrest with most soiling from body oil, grease, and sweat.
4.3: Cleaner 3.8 and Rinse 3.0 cleans and rinse periodically keeping the leather clean and healthy, at all times.
4.4: Hydrator 3.3 and Fatliquor 5.0 to relax and soften the leather periodically keeping it free from dryness and stiffness with suppleness.
4.5: Wax Pull-up 8.6 periodic revival keeps the fashion pull-up effects fresh and lively.
5: What is a Leather Restorative Care System?
5.1: A leather restorative care system is the ultimate salvage system that removes unwanted accumulated soiling and aged conditioners.
5.2: It requires a preparatory cleaning product such as Prep 4.4, to work in sequence with Cleaner 3.8 followed by the Rinse 3.0 system.
5.3: Gloss 76 to restore topcoat wear and damage is an option.
6: What is Wax Pull-Up Leather?
6.1: Wax pull-up leather has a secondary fashion effect conditioner like Wax Pull Up 8.6 plus the primary softening conditioner like Fatliquor 5.0 all leathers must have.
7: How to Identify Wax Pull-Up Leather?
7.1: Identify with a stretch or pull, reveal a lighter color, and revert when heat rubs with warm hands.
7.2: This pull-up effect loses its liveliness when the secondary wax pull-up conditioner diminishes, dried or the leather has aged.
7.3: The reverse suede takes the color as the surface with this aniline dyed-through leather.
7.4: The surface has a gloss sheen typical of this wax pull-up leather and easily fingernail scratches.
8: Why Fading is Common on Aniline Wax Pull-Up Leather?
8.1: Aniline dyestuff is more sunlight or UV-light-sensitive than pigment color.
8.2: Conditioning fat and oil, from fat liquor, plays a part in color saturation, and when dried or diminished lightens color intensity.
9: Why Does leather-facing Sunlight often feel Stiffer?
9.1: Leathers that face the sun, closed to the fireplace and heaters dries out the fat and oil that keeps it supple sooner than the non-heat exposed areas.
10: How Does Leather Become Stiff?
10.1: The diminishing of the fat and oil through evaporation results in the leather fibers being stuck closer together which results in stiffness and when flexed during use will lead to cracks.
11: How to Maintain Leathers to Have Perpetual Softness?
11.1: Perpetual leather softness is performed with periodic relaxing of stick-together fibers with Hydrator 3.3 before fat and oil replenishing with Fatliquor 5.0.
11.2: Sufficient fat and oil content within the leather structure will keep the leather supple and strong.
11.3: Thus, reducing the premature aging of the leather against stiffness and cracking.
