SCRATCH & FADE TREATMENT GUIDE VIDEO
This page covers: treating lightly scratched, faded shoes and restoring color at home.
Note: for deep scratches, torn grain, peeling or heavy fading, send it to Gazano for assessment first. Home color-restoring suits light scratches, light fading and leather whose surface is still stable.
5-step process
CLEAN THE BASE FIRST, RESTORE COLOR SECOND
Never apply cream polish over dusty shoes. Brush off dust, gently clean and condition, then restore the color and buff to finish.
2
Clean and condition with Wren's Lotion
Use Wren's Leather Lotion wipe gently to clean the base while lightly conditioning before color goes on.
3
Go over again with the horsehair brush
After cleaning and conditioning, use horsehair brush to go over the surface so it's open, even and ready for cream polish.
4
Restore the color with cream polish
Choose cream polish in the same tone as the shoes, take a suitable amount and spread thinly over lightly scratched, faded or dull areas.
5
Let the polish dry and buff
Let the polish dry naturally, then use horsehair brush to buff so the color comes up evenly and the surface looks natural.
