CARE
**Never clean with abrasives or solvents of any kind.**
General Dirt and Dust
Wipe with a damp cloth, mild soap solution (1 part soap to 12 parts water), wipe off excess water and allow to dry naturally. Apply neutral leather wax / cream if required.
Dents & Marks
These may be ‘worked out’ or reduced by ‘boning’ using the tool supplied in our leather care kit. Work in a gentle circular motion on the mark and around the rest of the leather to smooth the area, bringing the natural oils back to the surface and thus reducing any indentations.
Applying Leather Wax / Cream
If applying your own product please test on an area of leather not likely to be seen to test for colour change.
Metal Sections
A dry cloth will normally bring back the sheen. If very dirty use a small amount of WD40 or metal / chrome cleaner, always dry with a soft cloth after applying. Be very careful not to allow metal cleaning fluids to come into contact with leather.

LEATHER
Leather is a natural material and the finish will vary from batch to batch. We ensure each hide falls within our colour tolerance to ensure the variation is minimal.
Like all natural materials leather will patinate with use and as it ages. This is a natural part of the maturing process and adds character; these changes must be allowed for. Take care when fitting leather products. Leather is a soft material which will mark if handled without due care.
The hide Is protected by its natural oils. Lengthy exposure to direct sunlight and leaving dust on the leather will eventually dry it out. We suggest a six monthly application of Leather wax / cream in these situations.
