What damages the leather finish or vinyl?
Friction (sharp zippers, studs, rings, buckles), dye transfer from clothing (e.g. jeans), sweat, sand and dust, and very often harsh chemicals that are found in common cleaners (e.g. high pH or solvents).
Why do some textiles discolour surfaces?
Because they often contain ‘unfixed’ dyes and ‘effect pigments’ on their surfaces.
Geist. Dye & Friction Blocker is a premium protector designed to shield leather and vinyl surfaces from dye transfer, friction damage, and discoloration caused by everyday use. Utilizing advanced 'hybrid-polymers', this product creates an invisible barrier that repels loose dyes from clothing, such as denim, and prevents adhesion of pigments from other materials, ensuring your surfaces remain pristine without altering their natural feel. https://theultimatefinish.co.uk+8www.leathercare.com+8The House Of Rags+8Detailing Shed+5Alpha Details+5The House Of Rags+5
