Kits Pen
Can I use shoe polish to repair a leather jacket???
My boyfriend is flying from Europe to the U.S. tomorrow and there's a abbrasion (wear) mark (about 2 inches wide) on his leather coat from carrying a heavy backpack. This abbrasion has made the leather in this area lighter brown than the rest of the coat. I don't have one of those leather repair kits you see on TV. Has anyone ever tried using shoe polish on a leather coat? Or where in the states can you buy a leather repair kit. Please specify the store names.
And one more question. I have a white leather jacket with a blue pen mark. I've tried "Quick n Brite" and stain remover for pens. It doesn't come out. Any suggestions? If you scrub too hard you damage the leather.
Do not use shoe polish as this will not stay on the finish and will make matters worse. Also do not use any repair items 'as seen on TV' as these are not recommended by the technicians in the industry. Most of them are supplied by companies who have no idea what they are doing.
Usually store bought products do not work and you would be much better leaving it and having it looked at by a proper technician.
A pen mark on leather can possibly removed by an ink remover (available from the people below) but it is best left to a technician again as they may need solvents to remove it and then they will be able to fix the finish as well.. As you say if you scrub too hard or use the wrong products you will daamge the finish on the leather.
