ALCOHOL CLEANER
The Alcohol Cleaner neutralises the leathers surface, removing all surface grease, grime and other contaminants that could otherwise cause adhesion problems.
- Essential part of preparation
- Removes grease and grime
- Removes oils, waxes and silicone
- Improves adhesion of coatings
Alcohol Cleaner is an essential part of the preparation process, and should be used just before any repair or colour work is started. If you are undertaking a restoration project you should use the Leather Prep first, then the Alcohol Cleaner.
The Alcohol Cleaner essentially removes any silicones which may have been present as feel modifiers in the original finish. These silicones may not be soluble in the Leather Prep, so it is important to use the Alcohol Cleaner to ensure the repair products adhere properly.

Simply wet a cloth in the Alcohol Cleaner and rub it onto the damaged area of leather. The Alcohol Cleaner will remove dirt, grease and grime from the surface of the leather. If the finish is weak it will also remove some colour. This process is required to prepare the leather for colouring and repairs. You should clean a slightly larger area than what you need to repair.
After using the Alcohol Cleaner you would then proceed to make any repairs or re-colour the leather.
