Clydes Leather Company Leather Recoloring Balm – 23-Color Repair Kit for Faded Leather & Vinyl, Non-Toxic Conditioning Dye

Clyde's™ Leather Recoloring Balm is a non-toxic, conditioning dye balm that restores faded leather color, fills light scratches, and renews finished leather and vinyl with a durable, natural-looking finish.

This all-in-one recoloring kit uses ClydeColor technology to refresh furniture, car seats, jackets, boots, bags, and more. The balm combines pigment with nourishing ingredients so you recolor and condition in one step. It works on many coated or finished leathers when you follow the simple prep and cure instructions, and comes in 23 colors to closely match factory shades or create a custom tone.

How quickly will I see a difference after applying the balm?

Most users notice improved color and reduced visibility of light scratches after the first thin coat dries. For deeper wear or heavy fading, build color with two or three thin layers, buffing lightly between coats. Allow final curing for full durability.

• First coat: immediate color improvement and scratch filling
• 2–3 coats: stronger, more even color for heavier fading
• Cure time: 24–36 hours before regular use

Will it work on my sealed car seats or finished sofa leather?

Yes—most sealed or factory-finished leathers respond well after a quick absorbency check. If water beads on the surface, lightly deglaze that area so the balm can penetrate; if water soaks in, you can apply directly. This prep step ensures the balm bonds rather than sits on top.

• Absorbency test: drop water, check for beading
• Deglaze when necessary to improve adhesion
• Always spot-test to verify color match

How durable is the restored finish and how do I care for it?

The balm is formulated for long-lasting wear when applied correctly and allowed to cure. Regular gentle cleaning and periodic conditioning will extend the finish. Avoid harsh cleaners that strip pigment or conditioners that leave heavy residues.

• Durability: resists normal wear with proper cure
• Care: mild soap, soft cloth, and occasional conditioning
• Reapplication: only as needed for high-wear areas

What preparation and tools come with the kit?

The jar includes clear step-by-step directions plus a QR code linking to a detailed guide. Clean the surface, perform a spot test, apply thin coats with the included sponge, and buff between layers for a smooth finish. Following these steps prevents color transfer and uneven drying.

• Included: balm jar, application sponge, printed manual
• Steps: clean, spot-test, apply thin coats, buff, cure
• Tip: thin layers give the most even, long-lasting color
