Hello everyone, this is Hallelujah.

Have you ever been accidentally scratched when using leather products?

Of course, seeking professional repair services is one solution, but depending on the type of leather, we can easily make these scratches less noticeable. This time, we will introduce you to some methods to make the scratches on leather no longer noticeable!

Types and countermeasures for leather scratches

Type of scratch	Countermeasures
Superficial abrasions, unnoticeable fingernail or other scratches	Rub the scratches away with your fingers
Shallow dents or minor wear	Use a brush and leather care oil
severe abrasions or scratches	Special repair and maintenance oil
Severe scratches or peeling leather	Seek expert repair

Use your fingers or a cloth to remove scratches

For genuine leather wallets, minor scratches can usually be removed by simply wiping them with your fingers or a cloth. However, if you wipe too much, it may cause the wiped area to become slightly darker or shiny. Therefore, when wiping with your fingers or a cloth to remove scratches, you should treat it as an "emergency treatment" and do not wipe excessively.

Use a brush and leather oil to remove scars

My most recommended method for removing scars is "using a brush and leather care oil." Using a brush and maintenance oil not only perfectly removes scratches, but also maintains the leather. Through this method, not only can scars be removed, but also a glossy effect can be added, making the wallet more textured.

Next, we will further explain the specific method. First, we prepare the required materials.

②Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface

Clean the leather surface further by drying it with a soft cloth before applying the cream. The ideal fabric to use is a soft cotton fabric.

③Apply an appropriate amount of maintenance cream

Take a piece of leather care paste about 1cm in diameter, apply it to a dry cloth, and then apply it evenly to the entire wallet. Apply in a circular motion so it is easier for the leather to absorb. (It is recommended to do a trial application on an inconspicuous area of ​​the leather first.)

What to do when scars cannot be removed
Use leather-specific color touch-up cream or leather oil

If the leather has holes or serious scars, you can use a touch-up paste or leather oil to make the scars less noticeable. Don't worry about whether the product will fade. If you can't find the color you want, you can also mix it like a color mixer. The method of use is to apply a small amount of color repair paste or leather oil on the scar, and then wipe it with a cloth or brush to make it evenly distributed on the entire leather to make the scar less obvious.

However, since this method of color adjustment can be difficult, it is not recommended for novices.
