Even application, no waste |
Step 1: Clean the Surface
Start by making sure the leather is completely clean and dry. Wipe off any dirt with a damp cloth, then let it dry fully. This removes surface debris that could affect the finish.
Step 2: Apply Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer
Use a clean rag, sponge, cotton ball, Q‑tip, or applicator pad to apply a small amount of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer.
Gently wipe the area to remove the factory finish and open up the leather pores, which helps the paint bond better and last longer.
Step 3: Let It Dry
Allow the surface to dry completely. You’ll know it’s ready when the leather has a dull, matte finish, that means it’s prepped and good to go for paint.
