When To Use

Use Super Cleaner 4.9 when:

✔ Strong Cleaner 4.3 is no longer sufficient
✔ Heavy contamination is present
✔ Perspiration residue has accumulated
✔ Embedded dirt and grime remain
✔ Preparing leather for correction or restoration

When Super Cleaner 4.9 Is Not Enough

Super Cleaner 4.9 removes heavy dirt, perspiration residue, and surface grease.

However, if leather remains:

Greasy
Darkened from body oils
Sticky after cleaning

the contamination has penetrated beyond the surface.

In these situations, proceed to Saddlery Degreaser 2.2 to remove embedded oils and grease before continuing with restoration.

Important Application Principle

Increase cleaning strength only when necessary.

Every cleaning process is completed with Rinse 3.0 Cleaning Stabilizer, which removes suspended contamination and residual cleaner before correction or restoration begins.
