I’m a leather tailor and was working on renewing three coats over 2o years old. After cleaning and moisturizing the leather I utilized black leather dye to cover up worn areas and scratches. It helped, but most of the damaged areas were still noticeably faded. So as I researched options to address them, I came across this leather recoloring balm. I was skeptical, but based on the reviews I and ordered it. I am thrilled with the results! the balm went On very easily and darkened and all of your faded spots until they were virtually invisible! Time will tell if it lasts or if it’s just a temporary fix but initial findings are it’s a great product
