As you may see, with much naivety, I conditioned it to a point the colour was taken off the leather grain on the handles and the main body. My bag was ruined within two weeks and I accepted its fate- until I came across this. This has repaired and refreshed by bag when I thought all hope was gone! In the phase of trying to make up for my horror show, I spent hopeless minutes 'polishing' my leather bag. From even more bees wax to a turtle wax leather conditioner, to aloe vera wipes, I tried anything within reach like a mad man. Eventually, I came to accept the colour had faded and there was no going back for this leather bag. In fact, I soon sidlined this expensive purchase in my room with much regret. Another idea, however, came to mind when I tried black shoe polish and realised something serious for leather could work- this black leather polish that already has gleaming reviews. I'll cut to the chase and say this has entirely restored my black leather bag! Unlike a regular black polish you may use for your shoes, this version is different, arriving in a runny, creamy texture. As such, this proves to much of the product needed to both stain and polish leather surfaces. The more liquid texture, as emphasised in the description, penetrates into real porous leather to re-colour the grain like in the factories. I used paper kitchen towels to easily apply and buff into my bag. It only took a few minutes for the polish to seep into the leather and beautifully restain my bag to a brilliant black. While I watched it dry, so was afraid there were going to be bloches as I noticed some parts dried quicker than others. To much relief, the polish dried evenly without any oil or glossiness. I highly recommend to anyone to apply this in circular rubbing motions as this definitely helped ensure an even application. The colour matches exactly with the original black leather. The polish dried within 5 minutes, a final quick dry cloth wipe down and there remains no residue with the polish fully dried within the leather. I present to you my refreshed leather bag! I am so grateful this worked 😁 Review: Impressive! - Bought to restore colour of faded black leather jacket. Glad I read other customer reviews first! Top tips: *Be careful when opening the tin. The contents are runny, like a thin cream (not like shoe polish). *Use in a cool place, not in hot direct sunlight, to avoid stickyness when applying to black leather. *Rub in quickly as you apply it as it soaks into the leather very quickly. *Use a second polishing cloth straight after rubbing stain into the leather to ensure even colour. *Leave for a while until fully dry, then apply a second coat to restore original black effect. ## Features - Contains tetra hydro, 1,3,4,6,tetrakis (hydroxy methyl) imadazo(4,5d) imidazole-2,5(1h3h)-dione.

As can be seen in the first 3 pictures. I bought this product following good reviews but not many for steering wheels, but took a punt anyways, I was sure this wouldn’t make my wheel any worse. Make sure you have latex gloves before using, 2 micro fibre cloths. Wrap one cloth around your finger and dab into the product and use circular motions to apply on affected areas, make sure you don’t leave any excess thick spots after applying because when it drys it’s a pain to buff, so always fan out the excess and blend it in to give you an even layer without leaving heavy spots. With the second cloth I found it easier to make it into a ball or fold it many times to make it thicker, this makes more of a cushion and ensures even gentle pressure while buffing away excess, again buff in a circular motion after 5 mins. The last picture is after 2 coats and I think 1 more coat will finish the job. This is purely because some areas were deeper than others and it’s much better to gradually build up rather than applying too much in one go. I also used it to blacken the stitches as can be seen before and after pictures and it definitely makes the steering wheel look a lot better. All in I would say this is a great product, does the job and will have my steering wheel looking brand new after the 3rd coat. Great value for money, the consistency is relatively thick and even after 2 coats I’ve only used the excess on the lid so this product will last a while. Lastly there is no smell to this product which is a bonus. 10/10 ## Frequently Bought Together - Scratch Doctor Leather Colour Restorer Recolouring Balm Repair Treatment for Faded & Worn Absorbent Leather Furniture, Sofas, Chairs (Black, 50ml) - Furniture Clinic Applicator Sponges | 2x Microfibre Cloth Pads for Cleaning & Applying Wax, Balms, Oils & Creams - Leather Repair Filler (Black) - For Filling Holes, Scuffs, Scratches, Cracking Etc - Heavy Filler - 50ml (Packaging may vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/64150614-scratch-doctor-leather-colour-restorer-recolouring-balm-repair-treatment-faded](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/64150614-scratch-doctor-leather-colour-restorer-recolouring-balm-repair-treatment-faded) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
