Product Overview
Leather Hydrator and Softener Kit HS3 by Leather Doctor cleans, rinses, hydrates, and softens sun-fading leather to rejuvenate the dormant dyestuff to resurface.
Rejuvenating the dormant aniline leather dyestuff from sun fading is a practical approach to evaluating the need for dye refinishing. However, success depends on the amount retained within the leather remaining. A test from the reverse suede side will indicate the possibility of dyestuff rejuvenating to the surface by using a cotton bud saturated with Hydrator 3.3.
