Genuine leather is used almost everywhere in everyday life: we have leather shoes, clothes, bags and other accessories. In addition, it is often used for sheathing car interiors and upholstered furniture. Leather products are considered solid and emphasize the status of a person. However, over time, such things lose their original gloss: they are scratched, torn and cracked. And even more offensive if damage appears in the first days of use. After all, your favorite shoes made of genuine leather can easily be spoiled by a pet, and it can also suffer when crushing in public transport or when walking on broken roads. How, then, can quickly repair tears or scratches that have formed? Qualitatively restoring the gap is not always possible. But without a trace to eliminate scratches (and even deep ones) is quite real.
What will help
You can restore the original appearance of a leather product with the help of “liquid skin”. Today on sale you can find a considerable assortment of such tools.

Features and properties
Professional tool Saphir creme renovatrice (liquid skin) is intended for the restoration of the damaged upper layer of various types of smooth skin. Thanks to him, scratched, worn and discolored things gain a new life, and also it is possible to get a new shiny finish. The cream forms a strong and elastic layer on the damaged surface, which penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and after drying repeats the color and texture of the item being repaired.
The natural components that make up the product nourish and moisturize the skin. Thanks to this, genuine leather shoes become waterproof, but at the same time continue to breathe.
Saphir liquid skin eliminates scratches, scuffs, knocked-on toes, deep chips and returns the original color to damaged products. In addition, the cream is resistant to abrasion. However, to restore areas of the skin that have to constantly withstand the load on the "bending-extension", it is best to use another professional tool TM Saphir - Juvacuir.
An extensive range of colors, numbering about 50 colors, makes it easy to choose a skin reducing agent of the desired color. For the perfect hue, you can mix colors. But if it suddenly happens that you miss the color, even before hardening the cream can be washed off with water.

Application Rules
Before using the skin reducing agent, carefully prepare the surface of the item being repaired: glue the tears, sand the damaged areas with fine emery paper or a nail file.
Next, you need to treat the cleaned place with a universal cleaner or cleaner for smooth skin. It is forbidden to use various technical solvents that damage the skin (alcohol, acetone, gasoline, kerosene, etc.). Processing is required in order to ensure reliable adhesion of the reducing agent to the skin. Otherwise, it may peel off or fall off.
Repair work should be carried out with plastic gloves. Rubber gloves in this case are unsuitable, since the product will stick to them.
Saphir liquid skin is applied to a dry surface with a sponge, wipe or brush. It will take about 10-15 minutes to dry one layer. If the damage is minor, then a one-time application of the product may suffice to eliminate it. In case of deep damage, it is recommended to apply a few more thin layers, waiting for each of them to dry completely.
At the final stage, you should polish the restored place to shine with a shoe brush.
