What is Wax Pull-Up Leather?
Wax pull-up leather has a secondary fashion effect conditioner like Leather Wax Pull-Up-8.6 besides the primary softening conditioner all other leathers must have.
How to Identify Wax Pull-Up Leather?
A stretch or pull reveals a lighter color and reverts back when released or when heat rubs with the hand.
This pull-up effect loses its liveliness when this secondary Wax Pull-up conditioner dries or the leather has aged.
The reverse suede takes the color as the surface with this aniline dyed-through leather.
The surface has a gloss sheen typical with this wax pull-up leather.
What are the Causes of Topcoat Damage?
Soiling damages are prolonged neglect of most penetrated stains from the head and hands that show a darkening effect and have their topcoat probably deteriorated by the oil, grease, and sweat.
Other soiling damages include damaging spills and cleaning products.
Clean damages are common physical damages from cat and dog scratches, abrasions, shoe scuffs, and accidental damages.
Soiling, spills, and cleaning product damages will require a more detailed decontaminating process to return the leather to its healthy state prior to refinishing than clean physical damages.

Why these products are handpicked to topcoat refinish an aniline wax pull-up leather?
the answer is . . .
Leather Degreaser-2.2 with Leather Acidifier-2.0 system!
Leather Degreaser-2.2 is a pH 2.2 water-based hydrocarbon degreaser with tackiness and dye bleeding control for penetrated oil, grease, and sweat stains from skin, and hair contact.
Degreaser-2.2 also charges the leather protein fiber ionic positive (+ve) for strengthening the ionic attraction between the ionic negative (-ve) leather constituent for leather chemistry integrity.
Leather Acidifier-2.0 is a water-based acidifying conditioner with a pH value of 2.0 that works in sync with Degreaser-2.2 to rinse and pH-balance by charging the leather protein fiber ionic positive (+ve) to increase the attraction between the ionic negative (-ve) tanning agent, dyestuff, and fatliquor from denaturing.
Leather Cleaner-3.8, and Leather Rinse-3.0 system!
Cleaner-3.8 is a water-based all-purpose mild cleaner with a pH value of 3.8 for overall cleaning and Rinse-3.0 sync as an all-purpose rinse that follows.
Leather Hydrator-3.3, Leather Fatliquor-5.0, Leather Surfactant-3.6, and Leather Wax Pull-Up-8.6 system!
Hydrator-3.3 is a water-based pH 3.3 hydrating conditioner to relax and plump soft leather fibers for a more effective Fatliquor-5.0 conditioning.
Fatliquor-5.0 is a pH 5.0 ionic negative (-ve) charged micro-emulsion fat, oil, and water for conditioning leather softness and strength when dry.
Fatliquor-5.0 on application, the water-encased fat and oil molecule breaks free when ionic attraction takes place between the fat and oil with the leather protein fiber.
Fatliquor-5.0 excess free water wicks out leaving a breathing space behind for leather's natural transpiration.
Leather Surfactant-3.6 is a surface-active agent for inspecting surface absorbency.
Wax Pull-Up-8.6 is the secondary fashion effect conditioner that characterizes the aniline leather pull-up effect and its characteristic glossy sheen.
Aniline Leather Top-76G system!
Aniline Top-76G is a heavy-duty gloss topcoat to protect aniline leather with excellent toughness and flexibility.
Leather Protector-D!
Protector-D imparts a draggy feel and enhances a non-stick surface to shield the effect of sticky soiling, surface wear is greatly reduced besides its healing and concealing repairs on light scuff and abrasion marks.

3- Fatliquor-5.0 is sprayed over the almost dry leather and works to plump again with saturation and is left to almost dry.
4- Fatliquor-5.0 each application is repeated to be left almost dry until the last application is fully saturated and is left to almost dry.
5- Surfactant-3.6 is sprayed and spread with a folding towel to inspect for an even surface absorbency without blotchiness.
