Product Overview

Bring your leather back to life with a conditioning treatment that restores suppleness and leaves behind a clean leather scent.
✅ Key Features & Benefits

✅ How It Works
- Ionic Bonding Technology
- Carries a negative (-ve) charge to hydrogen bond with the positive (+ve) leather fibers, improving breathability.
- Water-Evaporating Suspension
- 83.33% water evaporates after bonding, leaving fat and oil behind.

- Plumps leather fibers, helping them resist creases and collapse.
- Oil Content
- Lubricates fibers for smooth, hinge-like movement and softness.
✅ Application Guidelines
- Step 1: Relax with Hydrator 3.3
- Loosens and opens up fibrous structure for better absorption.
- Step 2: Soften with Fatliquor 5.0 Plus
- Apply until leather feels damp but not over-saturated.
- Recommended Ratio
- Hydrator 3.3 : Fatliquor 5.0 Plus = 2 : 1
- Example: 160g Hydrator + 80g Fatliquor for 100g dry leather.
- Dry Leather Indicator
- Moisture content <7% signals readiness for fatliquoring.
- Target Fatliquor Content
- Restore leather to ~14% fat & oil by dry weight (typical tannery level).
✅ Pro Tips for Best Results
- Pre-clean surface using:
- Eraser 4 for leather/nubuck
- Eraser 5 for suede
- ☀️ Avoid heat drying—air dry naturally in shade for even results.
- ✋ Leather may darken if pre-existing soil resurfaces; stretch lightly to reduce appearance.
