Product Overview

Nubuck Fatliquor 5.0 by Leather Doctor is a pH 5.0, negatively charged (-ve) fat and oil microemulsion designed to restore and rejuvenate nubuck leather.

It combats dryness, stiffness, and weakness by replenishing the leather’s original fat and oil content—enhancing softness, strength, and flexibility. The fat component plumps and strengthens the protein fibers, while the oil relaxes coarse breaks, creases, and wrinkles. This combination restores drape, suppleness, and prolongs the life of the leather by delaying premature aging and preventing dry rot.

Instructions for Use:

Dilution:
Mix concentrate with distilled water at a 1:5 ratio (1 part Fatliquor 5.0 to 5 parts warm water).
Application:
Apply generously and redistribute using an appropriate nubuck Brush 2 or pad until the leather is fully saturated.
Reapplication:
Reapply as needed whenever water evaporates, leaving behind only the fat and oil.
Drying:
Allow the leather to dry naturally. This helps develop a softer hand feel.
Finishing Touch:
Once dry, enhance suppleness by staking, massaging, or flexing the leather. A light rewetting with Hydrator 3.3 may be used during this process to ease flexibility and conditioning.
