Leather Prep • De-glazer • Colour-Change Preparation Fluid
Carbusonic — The Leather Colour Doctor
Leather prep de-glazer • colour change preparation fluid • colour strip • de-greaser • pre-paint wipe
What it does
Cuts through wax, grease, grime and nicotine stains to reveal the base coat — ideal preparation before recolouring or dyeing.
Removes old finish and surface contaminants so water-based polyurethane colours adhere reliably.
Safe to use as a pre-paint wipe when used as directed; some colour/lift of top sealer is normal (this is the intended result).
Key features & benefits
Professional leather deglazer & prep solution — ideal for shoes, bags, jackets, car seats & furniture.
Blended non-ionic surfactants and solvents — formulated to prepare leather for dyeing and recolouring.
Works in conjunction with all The Leather Colour Doctor products for reliable colour adherence.
Suitable for all leather repairs and re-colours.
How to use
Test first in an inconspicuous area.
Apply with a soft, clean cloth and rub gently to remove surface finish and residues.
Allow to dry and inspect — proceed with your chosen base coat or recolouring product.
Safety & notes
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Wear gloves and avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure.
Some colour will be removed from treated surfaces — this is normal when top sealer is removed correctly.
Plastic bottle may differ from picture due to plastic shortages.
Compatibility
Ideal for use before water-based polyurethane colours and with other Leather Colour Doctor products to ensure adhesion and an even base for recolouring.
Q1: What exactly does this product do?
A:
This is a leather preparation and de-greasing solution designed to remove waxes, oils, grime, nicotine stains and the original top sealer from leather. It prepares the surface so that leather dyes and water-based polyurethane colours adhere properly. It is an essential step before any leather recolouring or repair work.
❓ Q2: Will this remove colour from my leather?
A:
Yes — some colour transfer is normal and expected. This means the top protective sealer is being removed correctly. The product is designed to expose the base coat beneath, which is necessary to achieve a long-lasting recolour or repair. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
❓ Q3: What types of leather and projects is this suitable for?
A:
This product is suitable for most finished leathers, including shoes, bags, jackets, car seats and furniture. It is ideal for leather repairs, colour changes and restorations. For best results, use it in conjunction with other Leather Colour Doctor products as part of a complete repair system.
