Nubuck Degreaser System Kit N5.dr
Degrease • Clean • Rinse • Neutralize • Hydrate • Soften • Condition
A complete Nubuck-Safe™ restoration system engineered to remove oil, grease, and sweat contamination while restoring softness, structure, and the signature velvety nap.
What This Kit Does
- Removes deep-set body oil, grease, and sweat stains
- Eliminates sticky, darkened, or matted areas
- Restores correct pH balance (acidic range)
- Rehydrates and relaxes collapsed fibers
- Replenishes essential oils for softness and flexibility
- Revives the natural nap and finger-writing effect
⚠️ Why Nubuck Needs a System
Nubuck is absorbent and pH-sensitive. Contamination penetrates into the fiber structure—not just the surface.
Basic cleaners often:
- Push stains deeper
- Cause stiffness or blotchiness
- Leave uneven color
N5.dr follows tannery science to clean, rebalance, and restore—without damage.
