Great results
Ordered some time ago and only just got round to using it. I had a very faded four pocketed, belted motorcycle jacket, that faded that the arms were almost a pale green shade. Used per instructions and it's delivered a superb finish. Coverage is good with plenty left for extra Coverage if needed. Very easy to use but do wear gloves as it is gel like in the tin. I used a small sponge to apply it and a soft polishing cloth to buff off. Great results so very happy. Job took approx 1hr after cleaning then obviously it cures fully in 24hrs.

Fantastic for bringing old leather back to life.
Fantastic for rejuvenating black leather.I bought a 37 year old car with a worn gear stick gaiter and worn steering wheel.After about five applications, leaving a minute or so in-between each one and a good rub with a microfibre cloth the gaiter and wheel shine like new.After an hour or so I went for a drive and there was no discolouration on my hands afterwards.I had no trouble using the tin and as for reviews that claimed the liquid was still wet days later all I can surmise is that what they thought was leather was in fact plastic. Fantastic product giving superb results.

Does a good job but……
I used this on a scratch on one of my car seats and it worked really well but it comes in a totally unsuitable container. There is a warning on the tin to be careful of spillage when opening but this is a runny solution in a shallow tin, not a great idea! Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Works Wonders
The leather on my steering wheel was getting bad, I assumed it was dirt so I started to clean it vigorously, I realised it was not dirt and I may have made the situation more worse. As can be seen in the first 3 pictures.I bought this product following good reviews but not many for steering wheels, but took a punt anyways, I was sure this wouldn’t make my wheel any worse.Make sure you have latex gloves before using, 2 micro fibre cloths. Wrap one cloth around your finger and dab into the product and use circular motions to apply on affected areas, make sure you don’t leave any excess thick spots after applying because when it drys it’s a pain to buff, so always fan out the excess and blend it in to give you an even layer without leaving heavy spots. With the second cloth I found it easier to make it into a ball or fold it many times to make it thicker, this makes more of a cushion and ensures even gentle pressure while buffing away excess, again buff in a circular motion after 5 mins.The last picture is after 2 coats and I think 1 more coat will finish the job. This is purely because some areas were deeper than others and it’s much better to gradually build up rather than applying too much in one go. I also used it to blacken the stitches as can be seen before and after pictures and it definitely makes the steering wheel look a lot better.All in I would say this is a great product, does the job and will have my steering wheel looking brand new after the 3rd coat. Great value for money, the consistency is relatively thick and even after 2 coats I’ve only used the excess on the lid so this product will last a while. Lastly there is no smell to this product which is a bonus. 10/10

It's a great product but
I've bought from this seller before and they sell first class products. Unfortunately on this occasion, I was in for a surprise. The colour restorer comes in a sturdy twist top tin that's not similar to a can of shoe polish. I carefully opened it expecting a more solid product and was met with a can of black fluid similar in consistency to runny mayo.It had slumped onto the cans thread (lid and body) necessitating an immediate clean up.This stuff works a treat but is packaged wrong and should be in a bottle.....hence 3 stars.Wish I'd read the reviews before opening it because I'm not the first to almost have a major mishap

My bag lives on
After purchasing my first real leather bag, I foolishly ended up over conditioning it. As you may see, with much naivety, I conditioned it to a point the colour was taken off the leather grain on the handles and the main body. My bag was ruined within two weeks and I accepted its fate- until I came across this. This has repaired and refreshed by bag when I thought all hope was gone!In the phase of trying to make up for my horror show, I spent hopeless minutes 'polishing' my leather bag. From even more bees wax to a turtle wax leather conditioner, to aloe vera wipes, I tried anything within reach like a mad man. Eventually, I came to accept the colour had faded and there was no going back for this leather bag. In fact, I soon sidlined this expensive purchase in my room with much regret.Another idea, however, came to mind when I tried black shoe polish and realised something serious for leather could work- this black leather polish that already has gleaming reviews.I'll cut to the chase and say this has entirely restored my black leather bag! Unlike a regular black polish you may use for your shoes, this version is different, arriving in a runny, creamy texture. As such, this proves to much of the product needed to both stain and polish leather surfaces. The more liquid texture, as emphasised in the description, penetrates into real porous leather to re-colour the grain like in the factories.I used paper kitchen towels to easily apply and buff into my bag. It only took a few minutes for the polish to seep into the leather and beautifully restain my bag to a brilliant black. While I watched it dry, so was afraid there were going to be bloches as I noticed some parts dried quicker than others. To much relief, the polish dried evenly without any oil or glossiness. I highly recommend to anyone to apply this in circular rubbing motions as this definitely helped ensure an even application.The colour matches exactly with the original black leather. The polish dried within 5 minutes, a final quick dry cloth wipe down and there remains no residue with the polish fully dried within the leather. I present to you my refreshed leather bag!I am so grateful this worked 😁
