Product Overview
Leather Conditioner Wax Pull-Up 8.6 by Leather Doctor is a rejuvenator for restoring the diminishing aniline wax effect lost through usage, aging, or cleaning.
It is highly recommended that the primary leather softening process of hydration and fatliquoring be completed to satisfaction before applying the secondary wax pull-up effect.
The Importance of Hydration & Fatliquoring Before Applying Wax Pull-Up 8.6:
Before restoring the aniline wax pull-up effect, it is highly recommended to complete the primary leather softening process through hydration and fatliquoring. Here's why:
1. Hydration – Relax, Revive & Rejuvenate
Over time, leather loses moisture due to aging, environmental exposure, and cleaning. Dry leather fibers become stiff and prone to cracking. Hydration helps:
✅ Relax stiff fibers and correct shrinkage
✅ Open up the leather structure for better fat and oil absorption
✅ Reduce dryness-induced creases and stiffness
2. Fatliquoring – Restoring Softness & Strength
Once hydrated, leather requires fatliquoring, which replenishes the natural fats and oil that provide:
✅ Softness and flexibility
✅ Internal lubrication to prevent stiffness and cracking
✅ Resistance against premature wear and aging
3. Wax Pull-Up Effect – Finishing Touch for Beauty & Function
Only after leather is fully softened should Leather Conditioner Wax Pull-Up 8.6 be applied. This ensures:
✔️ A revived wax pull-up effect for a rich, dynamic look
✔️ Enhanced suppleness without overloading stiff leather
✔️ Long-lasting protection and beauty
By following this two-step restoration process, you maximize the longevity and luxurious feel of aniline wax pull-up leather.

- Wax pull-up liveliness of response depends on the percentage of fat liquor and wax effect content remaining within the leather structure.
5. How Does Wax Pull-Up Conditioner Work?
- The wax pull-up routine is a standalone application.
- It involves spraying the conditioner onto the leather and working it into the structure with a horsehair brush, such as the Leather Brush 1, to achieve an even appearance.
- Upon application, the wax pull-up penetrates the leather structure, while the wax content crystallizes on the surface as it dries.
- This results in a cloudy wax crystalline that typically takes around 8 hours to form.
- To activate the wax pull-up a heat blower or a hot hair dryer transforms the crystalline wax into a coating of natural gloss, commonly associated with the wax pull-up effect.
- For an optional distress effect kneading and massaging the leather can be done to achieve the desired result.
6. What is a Wax Pull-Up Protective Conditioner?
