  HOW TO
REJUVENATE YOUR LEATHER INTERIOR AND ALL ITEMS CRAFTED OF FINE
LEATHER
Rejuvenating your car interior or any item made with fine
quality leather is an easy process. Please carefully read directions before
beginning application. Use protective gloves and eyewear.
Step 1. Vacuum the surface of the upholstered piece
or interior well or use a soft brush to remove large particles of dirt, paying
particular attention to seams, folds, and cracks.
Step 2. Apply the Rejuvenator Oil
liberally (about 4 oz. per seat) with a Sponge Brush or your hands; massaging the oil well into
all the surfaces and natural folds of the leather, this puts natural
ingredients, not harsh cleaner, back into the leather and forces out dirt. You
may also use a soft sea sponge, or a soft paint type brush. One of our Rolls
Royce friends, Chuck Hull of Simi Valley, California suggests a spray bottle,
which can be purchased at the local home center. Also apply the
Rejuvenator Oil liberally nearer the stitched areas as the conditioner
will be able to migrate laterally well into the hide. Park the car in the sun
with the windows rolled up to create a “steam room” for as long as practical,
several hours or a day. (Allow the oil to be absorbed into the fibrous side of
the leather before putting the top down in a convertible.) Direct sun is the
worst enemy of any automobile interior or home upholstery. Do not place home or
office leather upholstery in direct sun. For “cardboard hard” leather, several
applications will be necessary. Patience will be rewarded with good results.
Step 3. After the ph correct proteins and collagens
from the Rejuvenator Oil have permeated back into the pours and
fibers of the leather, strengthening and nourishing them, the surface may be
tacky, sticky, gritty, or have a white haze. This is simply the dirt, grime,
air pollution, perspiration, salts and other toxins that have floated out of the
leather to the surface. Apply Prestine Clean by putting it in a
Spray Bottle then wipe off with a SOFT lint free cloth. For tough dirt or vinyl
or vinyl tops, brush the cleaner into the grain of the leather or vinyl with a
soft bath brush or toothbrush. Let stand for a few minutes, usually by the time
you are done with the next piece, and wipe the surface with a soft cloth Your
car or upholstered leather piece will appreciate the “face lift” and will have
the new leather smell restored. Prestine Clean will not remove
the conditioner permeated into the leather. This process may be used on MB Tex
vinyl areas to soften and condition. Even flexibility on rubber window trim can
be maintained with Prestine Clean.
LEATHER FACTS
We strongly advise against saddle
soap, as it has been known to remove the dye from the leather. Avoid products
that contain petroleum or mineral oils, as they cause leather fibers to rot
prematurely. Our cleaner and conditioner have a capillary action.
The proteins, cleaners, and conditioners find their way deep into the pores of
the leather and force out the dirt, perspiration, air pollution, unnecessary
oils, and other toxins that destroy the fibers of the leather, destroying its
strength and flexibility, and causing it to deteriorate. For tough, heavier
stains, we do make leather cleaner to remove the stain from the surface of the
leather. The remainder of the stain will need to be “floated” out of the
leather with Rejuvenator Oil. Badly stained surfaces probably need to be
re-dyed.
Key Benefits
- Leather is conditioned & cleaned safely, easily, and gently. No hard scrubbing
or harsh chemicals.
- Because there are no petroleum or mineral oil fillers of any type in the Rejuvenator
Oil, any residual remains in the fibers, continuing to nourish the leather itself for
months. Don't forget keeping leather healthy and flexible is what extends its life
and makes it more beautiful.
- This is absolutely "Simply the Best" way to care for your leather, used by
museums, collectors, restorers, decorators, and auto enthusiasts World Wide.
