Product Overview
Leather Pigmented Care Kit P3 by Leather Doctor preps clean, rinse, pH balance, hydrate, soften, and protect pigmented leather to prolong the life of daily use.
Pigmented finishes develop micro crazing as they age and heat dries out the fatliquor (fat and oil) from these weak points and stitching holes.
The diminishing of the fatliquor empties the leather which results in creases and wrinkles.
Stiffness to the leather is another sign of fatliquor diminishing that collapses the inter-fibrillary spaces making the fiber stick together and when flexed during use lead to cracks.
Periodic use of Hydrator-3.3 to hydrate the stick-together fibers before fatliquor softening with Fatliquor-5.0 will keep the leather supple and strong.
Thus, reducing the premature aging of the leather against stiffness and cracking.
The surface wear of the leather is greatly reduced when friction noise is kept low.
The noise reduction is accomplished with rub-resistant Protector B which imparts a natural buttery feel.
Periodic cleaning and rinsing with Cleaner 3.8 followed by Rinse 3.0 to the body contact area helps reduce greasy soiling build-up.
Removing unwanted accumulated soiling and aging conditioners is accomplished with Prep 7.7.
Specialty products such as Leather Dye Stain Remover 7.9 and others are available as add-ons.

1* What is Leather Preventive Care?
Leather preventive care is the care of prolonging the need for cleaning heavy soiling by simply spraying and wiping with a non-stick rub-resistant leather protector such as Protector B or the leather scent version Protector B Plus.
This preventive care is kept in place at each level of the routine, periodic, or restorative cleaning cycle.
A non-stick, rub-resistant protection is recommended to be in place before putting the leather to daily use.
Protector B imparts a soft natural buttery feel that enhances the leather luxuriously to the sense of touch.
The non-stick surface shields the leather from sticky soiling thus prolonging the high level of appearance.
Rub-resistant ability reduces friction noises that translate into less friction wear.
Protector B Plus is the leather scent version that diffuses a classic leather scent which boosts the sensuous leather more appealing to the leather lover.
1. Mist sprays Protector B spread with a lint-free towel and is ready for use when dry.
2* What is Leather Routine Care?
Leather routine care includes procedures such as general dust cleaning, attending to spots and stains as required especially the pH balancing of sweat stains from shifting alkaline.
Thus prevents leather from tackiness.
A routine non-stick rub-resistant protection after neutralizing rinse helps keep leather in a more attractive and healthy state while preventing premature wear.
1. Spray Rinse 3.0, horsehair Brush 1 agitates and towel extract until it shows clean.
2. Mist sprays Protector B spread with a lint-free towel and is ready for use when dry.
3* What is Leather Periodic Care?
Leather periodic care is recommended before soiling causes damage to the finishing.
This keeps leather consistently clean and healthy at all times.
Body contact areas would require more frequent attention than the unused areas.
While the leather headrest and handrest get the most out of body oil and sweat contacts.
Step-1 Cleaning and Rinsing:
1. Spray Cleaner 3.8 and agitate with horsehair Brush 1; ensuring a uniform application over the entire surface a section at a time.
2. Towel extract until it shows clean.
3. Remaining residues are spray rinsed with Rinse 3.0 and towel extract to a squeaky clean.
4. Let dry and inspect for satisfaction, otherwise repeat the cleaning process as necessary or proceed to hydrating.
Step 2 Hydrating:
Hydrating is essential to relax and separate the collapsing fibrous structure to the stitching holes, creases and micro crazing that becomes absorbent.
1. Spray Hydrator-3.3 to check for a darkening appearance.
Step 3 Fatliquoring:
Fatliquor evaporates as VOC (volatile organic compound) when temperatures rise especially from exposed surfaces.
Periodic fatliquoring maintains the leather’s structure integrity and pliability thus strengthening these exposed leather from cracking.
1. Spray Fatliquor 5.0 in like manner as Hydrator 3.3 and let dry naturally.
2. Repeat application in between drying until saturated.
3. The leather is left for slow natural drying for extra softness.
4. Surface strays are wiped with Hydrator 3.3 to free of sticky residue.
Step 4 Non-stick, rub-resistant Protection:
1. Mist sprays Protector B spread with a lint-free towel and is ready for use when dry.
4* What is Leather Restorative Care?
Leather restorative care is the ultimate restorative or salvage care system that removes accumulated soiling including aged conditioners.
Accumulated soiling that fills creases is often mistaken for cracks.
Using Prep 7.7 performs restorative cleaning.
It works by chemical reaction to emulsify soiling through its penetrating, lubricating, and suspending power.
Horsehair detailing Brush 1 is recommended to be worked into heavily soiled areas sufficiently to avoid excessive agitation that might damage already weakened finishes, especially on heavily used areas.
Step 1 Prep Cleaning, Rinsing and pH Balancing:
1. Apply Prep 7.7 and agitate with horsehair Brush 1, ensuring a uniform application over the entire surface a section at a time.
2. Allow a dwell time of 10 to 30 minutes or before it dries before towel extraction until it shows clean.
3. Acidifier 2.0 is used to rinse and pH balance alkaline overexposure to achieve a healthy squeaky feel.
3. Remaining sticky residue is removed by Cleaner 3.8 with gentle brush agitation and towel extracts until it shows clean.
4. Remaining residues are spray rinsed with Rinse 3.0 and towel extracts to a squeaky clean.
5. Let dry and inspect for satisfaction, otherwise repeat the cleaning process as necessary or proceed to hydrating.
Step 2 Hydrating:
Hydrating is essential to relax and separate the collapsing fibrous structure.
1. Spray Hydrator 3.3 to saturate with an even darkening appearance to soften up the leather.
2. Let dwell for 10 to 30 minutes and towel extract any wick up soiling until it shows clean.
Step 3 Fatliquoring:
Fatliquoring with Fatliquor 5.0 maintains the leather’s structure integrity and pliability thus strengthening the exposed leather from cracking.
1. Spray Fatliquor 5.0 in like manner as Hydrator 3.3 and let dry naturally.
2. Repeat application in between drying until saturated.
3. The leather is left for slow natural drying for extra softness.
4. Surface strays are wiped with Hydrator 3.3 to free of sticky residue.
Step 4 Non-stick, rub-resistant Protection:
1. Mist sprays Protector B spread with a lint-free towel and is ready for use when dry.
