Using a blend of waxes and conditioner, our care products are the ultimate line-up for your leather. Discover our recommended treatment regime below or shop our care kit.
Treatment Cream
To maintain that effortlessly inimitable, buttery-soft finish, a little extra care is needed. Our Treatment Cream will help nourish, clean and protect your leather.
To begin the process, test our Treatment Cream in a hidden area for colour fastness. If there is colour transfer from the leather occuring do not proceed and we recommend you get in touch with our Deadly Ponies team here for further advice.
Step 1: Shake our Treatment Cream well prior to use and ensure your piece is clean and free from dust.
Step 2: Apply two small drops onto a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Step 3: Treating one panel at a time, apply evenly and massage into the leather using a gentle, circular motion. Re-apply to the cloth as necessary.
Step 4: Methodically treat all areas until the process is complete.
Step 5: Leave to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
Step 6: Once the treatment has been absorbed, buff with a clean dry cloth to remove any excess. We recommend applying two coats allowing dry time in between to ensure your piece is well nourished.
Step 7: Finish off the process with our Moisture Balm.
