Hard-worked car seats, brittle furniture surfaces, old bags or saddle areas all benefit from the deep re-oiling that gets the leather fibres flexible again. Licker Oil makes sure repair materials like filler, binder or leather colour grab better and lay down more evenly. It's a key step when you want long-lasting results on leather that's gone structurally weak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep-acting re-oiling\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gets hard, dry leather supple again and cuts the risk of cracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooths out repair work\u003c\/strong\u003e – Improves how filler, binder and colour grab and spread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for aged leather\u003c\/strong\u003e – Perfect for automotive, furniture, saddles, bags \u0026amp; accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRe-oiling technology \u0026amp; how it works in the leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLicker Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e works its way deep into the leather structure and reactivates dried-out fibres that have lost their elasticity over the years. The re-oiling components settle into the gaps between the fibres and bring back the natural suppleness, without darkening the leather too much. On older automotive leather that's turned brittle especially, the fatliquor lowers the risk of cracks forming during mechanical repair work. The fibres get more flexible and more receptive, which makes the whole repair more stable and longer-lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrep, application \u0026amp; the best way to use it before repairs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you apply it, give the leather a thorough prep with a suitable cleaner so the re-oiling components can soak in evenly. You lay \u003cstrong\u003eLicker Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e down in a thin coat and work it in with light pressure. After a short dwell time the oil soaks deep in and leaves a noticeably softer surface. Depending on the state of the leather, you can repeat the process. Only once the leather is flexible again do you start the structural repair: smooth the filler, lay down the colour, seal the surface. Licker Oil clearly improves every step that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, use cases \u0026amp; how it differs from a softener\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter treatment the leather feels much more supple, more elastic and more receptive to products like filler, binder or colour. \u003cstrong\u003eLicker Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is perfect for old, dry or brittle leather in vehicles, furniture, bags, jackets and saddles. Unlike a softener such as Old Leather Softener, Licker Oil works more as a re-oiling prep and less as a long-term flexibiliser.

It reliably lifts skin oils, dirt films, leftover care product and light oil traces — especially on high-contact spots like seat bolsters, steering wheels, armrests, furniture edges, bags or grab zones.

On spots that take a beating from skin contact, a thorough degrease is what makes or breaks the job: filler, colour and top coat only hold long-term on grease-free surfaces.

Loosened oils and residue get picked up or wiped off with a clean cloth. On heavily loaded spots you can go over it again.
