🛠️ Step-by-step guide: How to repair scratches and cracks in leather

Before any repair, the leather must be clean and free of grease .
👉 Use a leather degreaser & leather cleaner to thoroughly remove dirt and care residues.
✅ This ensures the liquid leather adheres optimally!

Scratches : Usually only superficial, the leather structure is still intact.
Cracks / holes : Go deeper, the surface is damaged or torn.
