Vwo05 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone. I’ve got a worn patch of leather on my couch from my head rubbing against it over time. What’s the best way to restore it? I previously tried this leather re-coloring balm made by Furniture Color. All it did was make it worse when I tried buffing it out and the color didn’t stay. What’s shown in the picture is the aftermath. I bought some Feibings Pro Dye and Deglazer. However, I’m not sure if this is the right stuff to use and I’m worried about making it worse again. Especially with the deglazer as I read it’s basically like acetone. If it is the right stuff, do I also use the Fiebings acrylic resolene to protect the finish? The couch spec says it is top grain semi-aniline leather. Can someone provide some how to guidance and products I should use? The wife keeps telling me to stop sitting on that spot and wearing down the head rest, but that’s my favorite spot!

Constabulary Report post Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) To be honest I would give this to someone professional cause matching the color and airbrushing the spot or so will not be an easy task and the pros may have different products for different type of leather plus they (hopefully) have experience with this. If it was a dime size spot I would probably try DIY but this is a huge and dominant spot and I don´t think you can match this up without experience and knowing the right products and techniques. My 2 cents cheap way - throw a blanket over it **kidding** EDIT: not your language I guess but maybe a website translations gives you an idea https://www.lederzentrum.de/tip/moebel/glattleder.html#videoanleitung Edited February 13, 2022 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tugadude Report post Posted February 13, 2022 This reminds me of the old adage that sometimes the cure is worse than the ailment. I know if I tried to do anything to "fix" the problem it would probably end up worse. It would be easy to tell you to just accept it as normal and a patina that comes through use but that would fail to satisfy you probably. I'm sure there is some miracle worker out there who would size it up and know exactly how to proceed, ending up with a good result. The trick is in finding them I imagine. Good luck whatever you do!
