Leather Finishes — what to choose?

Finishes serve to seal the pigment, unify the surface, and protect the leather against moisture. For maximum fixation and durability, choose Protective Finishes; for a natural look and hand polishing, go for Waxes & Balms. Suppleness and softening are ensured by Oils & Conditioners, and the correct base is provided by the Cleaning & Prep section.

Parameter guide

What the parameters of leather finishes mean and how to choose the right values.

  • Protective Finish: Creates a solid layer that fixes the dye and protects against water and abrasion.
  • Wax & Balm: Used for final polishing, reviving the look, and surface impregnation.
  • Oil & Conditioner: Soaks deep into the leather, softens it, and prevents cracking.
  • Cleaning & Prep: Products for degreasing before dyeing or washing finished items.

  • Glossy: For a distinct, mirror-like look and maximum protection (lacquers).
  • Matte / Satin: For a subtle, velvety look without reflections.
  • Polishable: Waxes and balms where you determine the shine intensity by mechanical polishing.
  • Natural: Oils and conditioners that soak in and highlight the leather structure (without a surface layer).
