How to Easily Refresh and Restore Your Leather Surfaces

Smooth leather and artificial leather surfaces, such as car seats and steering wheels, can become greasy, cracked, or faded over time. Constant friction, sun exposure, and daily use all contribute to this wear, leaving them looking old and unattractive.

Luckily, you can easily restore and refresh your leather with the Leather Preparation Kit from Presto. The included leather colour freshener with abrasion-resistant black pigment not only recolours but also repairs minor scratches and faded areas, making them visually disappear and bringing your leather back to its original beauty.

Step-by-step instructions leather preparation kit

  • Step 1: Clean the leather
    Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly with the included leather cleaner and cloth. Let the cleaner evaporate for about 10–15 minutes. You can use a hairdryer to speed up this process. Ensure the leather is completely dry and free from grease and dirt.

    Step 2: Protect surrounding areas
    Tape off any areas that you don’t want to treat, to avoid accidental staining. Smooth rough or cracked areas gently with a fine sanding pad (not included in the kit).

    Step 3: Shake the bottle
    Shake the leather colour freshener well before use to ensure even pigmentation.

    Step 4: Apply the colour freshener
    Using the application sponge, apply the leather colour freshener in a dabbing or circular motion. For the best result, apply 2–3 thin coats, allowing about 5 minutes of flash-off time between layers.

    Step 5: Let it dry
    Allow the surface to dry completely (approx. 30 minutes). Drying time can vary depending on layer thickness, leather absorption, and temperature.

    Step 6: Remove the tape
    Carefully remove the masking tape after drying, and admire your refreshed leather!
