Cherrywood Vinyl & Leather Finish

Use our water-based finishes to restore and condition:

• absorbent aniline and semi-aniline leather,
• non-absorbent full-grain or top-grain leather,
• and vinyl upholstery.

Our finishes won’t sunfade or backstain like leather dyes. They don't feel plasticky, flake or peel like spray paints.

Do not use on fabric, suede, nubuck, bonded or faux leather.

Store in a temperate, dark place away from children.

Changing color is best suited to absorbent leather.

If the material repels water, add cross-linker to the color to boost adhesion. Adding 1 Satin Sealer to 4 parts color also serves this purpose and is needed to seal bright colors.

Thorough cleaning and stress testing the color are critical!

The following are not good candidates and will require touch-up:

• changing from red / dark to white / pale;
• worn, cracking, scaly or thinning leather;
• furniture with lots of wrinkles, folds, deep creases (and therefore stress);
• pieces that are heavily used or harshly cleaned (kids, dogs, chemicals);
• car or boat upholstery (for these we suggest a heavier urethane coating);
• bonded, faux or polyurethane (PU) ‘leather’ which repel all finishes (including their own).

Here's what wear looks like on non-absorbent leather or vinyl:
