Nikwax Leather Restorer

The safe, easy-to-use cleaner for all waterproof leather clothing, gear and accessories. Leather clothing, equipment and accessories absorb water and become soaked when used in damp or wet conditions and their Durable Water Repellency (DWR) is compromised. When leather absorbs water, tannins and fats are lost. This makes the leather dry, stiff and prone to cracking. This causes the structure of the leather to fade over time. In addition, the breathability of leather is also affected when it gets wet. This makes leather clothing sweaty and wet on the inside due to condensation. Therefore, the DWR of your leather items must be maintained to maintain comfort and performance. During use, dirt will adhere to the outside of leather items, attracting water. This blocks the effect of a long-lasting water repellency (DWR) coating. Nikwax Leather Cleaner™ removes dirt and restores DWR, so your leather items work better and last longer.

Nikwax Leather Restorer™ is specifically designed and optimized for breathable, waterproof, smooth leather items. It adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to smooth leather, maintains breathability and conditions the leather by replenishing tannins and fats.

Nikwax Leather Restorer™ is absorbed by the leather where it is needed most and does not soften it too much. Since the formula is water-based, it can be used on wet or dry leather. It is non-flammable and contains no harmful solvents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fluorocarbons.

Instructions:

For best results, clean items first with Nikwax® Leather Cleaner. It is not necessary to dry before impregnation. Shake well before use. Follow the washing instructions.

• Protect the work surface and lay the clean wet item flat.
• Keep the bottle at about 15 cm. distance from the item.
• apply it evenly on the outside.
• Wait 2 minutes.
• Remove any excess product and rub in well with a lint-free cloth.
• Check carefully that there are no skipped pieces.
• Allow leather clothing, equipment or accessories to dry at room temperature.
• Keep away from fire and radiators. Drying too quickly can cause the leather to crack.

Note: For light or colored leather, test on an inconspicuous area first.
