Leather cleaning
The starting point for every restoration. On dirty leather no colour or protector will hold.

Leather protection
A protective layer applied at the end of every restoration — and separately, on leather that is still in good condition.
The last stage of every restoration, and a separate service for leather that is still in good condition. The protective layer does two things: it protects what is underneath, and it determines the finish — matt, satin or lightly glossy.
Without it, freshly restored leather is defenceless. Unprotected colour wears off at the touch points within a few months, and the whole job goes to waste.
How we do it
- Choosing a product for the type of leather — one for pigmented upholstery, another for aniline, which has to keep breathing.
- Applying an even layer, with drying time.
- Setting the level of matt so the part matches the rest of the interior.
When to order it separately
Not after a restoration with us — there, protection is the last step and is included in the price. It is worth doing separately in three situations: on a new car or piece of furniture, after a restoration done elsewhere without a topcoat, and from time to time on leather in heavy use.
In light-coloured interiors and cars parked outdoors the protection wears faster — it's worth renewing it once a year, together with cleaning.
Leather treatments — other services
Leather softening
Leather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.
Painting and dyeing
Colours matched to the type of leather: one kind for pigmented car upholstery, another for aniline and semi-aniline furniture leather.
Pigmentation and colour correction
Evening out the shade on worn areas, or changing the colour of the whole thing.
Impregnation and protection
Products that protect against UV, water and denim dye transfer — the most common cause of stains on light-coloured seats.
Leather de-glossing
With long use, leather turns shiny where it is touched. De-glossing brings back its factory matt look.
