Expert Line — Coating Removal & Surface Keying

Leather Prep

Professional preparation fluid formulated to remove weak/old paint films, dissolve surface contaminants, and degloss/key leather for superior adhesion of repair and colour systems. Essential before Leather Binder, Fillers, Colourant and Top Coat.

  • Removes Old Coatings
  • Degloss & Key
  • Adhesion Booster
  • Fast Evaporation

What It Does

Leather Prep softens and lifts aged or unstable pigment layers and opens the leather surface for new coatings. Used with a fibre pad or lint-free cloth, it evens transitions, feathers edges and creates a clean, receptive substrate for waterborne finishing systems.

Works where degreasers alone are not enough: persistent top-film residues, glossy areas, edges with micro-lifting, and zones requiring mechanical/chemical keying.


Professional Applications

  • Automotive: bolster edges, steering wheels and panels before recolouring.
  • Furniture: armrests, high-touch panels with failing top coat.
  • Leather goods: bags/shoes with cracked or flaking paint films.

Compatible Leather Types

Finished/pigmented leather and many coated PU/artificial leather surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area; avoid excessive use on sensitive finishes.

Not suitable for suede or nubuck.

Tips & Related Products

  • Work from seam to seam; avoid creating sharp cut-offs. Keep pads clean and change frequently.
  • After Prep, proceed with Leather Binder (if fibres are weak), then Light/Heavy Filler, Primer, Colourant and Top Coat.

Always perform a small-area test to check sensitivity and removal rate before full application.
