Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a dedicated leather conditioner according to product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.

Suede showing scuffs or stains

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
