Effective for deep scratches
For leather lovers, scratches are part of the "taste" of leather. However, if the scratches are in a conspicuous place or bother you, you need to maintain the leather to eliminate them.
The method Mr. Taniwaki showed us is surprisingly easy and simple. Simply apply cream or lotion to the area around the blemish and then wipe it dry. By repeating this process several times, even deeper wounds can be treated. If the leather is oiled leather with high oil content, simply wiping it dry will remove the scratches.
To prevent scratches from occurring, Taniwaki says, "Regular care with leather cream is the most important thing. Keeping the leather adequately moisturized is the key to preventing scratches.
Aged leather that has aged well has a shocking scratch on it. The scratches are white and stand out, so we want to do something to repair them. The scuff on the bottom corner is also a concern.
Step 1: First, remove the dirt.
Apply cream to the surface with dirt on it, as it may spread the dirt. Use a plastic eraser to remove the dirt by gently moving the eraser without exerting force!
If you apply cream in a sticky manner, it will
cause uneven coloring and stains!
It is easy to think that using a lot of cream will be more effective, but in fact, this is not the case. The rule of thumb when applying cream is to apply it thinly and evenly. It is recommended that a pearl-sized amount of cream be rubbed into the cloth before application.
