AngelusLeather Preparer Deglazer 5oz

Angelus always has high quality products that perform as expected.

Easy to use. It works fine.You may want to use gloves to keep the solution off your fingers and hands.It does produce some vapor like nail polish remover.I used it on a belt so I could change it from a brown color to mahogany. While the deglazer did not remove the brown color, it did remove the waxy polish coating so the new dye could penetrate.

Works great

This made all the difference as I was attempting to restore the vinyl on our boat seats. We will see how the paint lasts, but I tested where I used and didn't use this product and the new color adheres extremely well, repeals dirt, and after a week hasn't shown wear. I know it is not for marine use, so we will see what happens over time, but the initial quality is fantastic.

Isopropyl alcohol on its own is a good deglazer, so is acetone (pure acetone, not the kind with essential oil and fragrance mixed in), but the Angelus deglazer wins when it comes to removing any kind of unnecessary finish on aniline dyed hides. Yes, you'll lose some color, but the results will be nice and even and give you a pleasant surface to redeposit liquid pigments.

Awesome

The best quality leather paint I have ever bought. You won't be disappointed. Great coverage, and doesn't crack.

I followed some YouTube videos and used this to deglaze a pair of casual dress shoes that were too orange in color instead of tan/brown. After using as directed, I used the companion Angelus leather dye and transformed my shoes from a back-of-the-closet mistake to everyday work shoes. I do believe the product is largely acetone. So, that could be an alternative for some if you happen to have a can in your shed/garage.
