Why This Step Is Necessary
The protection reduces absorption of water, dirt, and salt, making the item easier to maintain after care.
The final layer helps preserve the color, softness of the nap, and overall neat appearance of suede for longer.
How to Perform This Step
- Apply protection only to completely dry material.
- Distribute the treatment in a thin, even layer without over-wetting the nap.
- Allow the item to dry naturally, away from heaters and hair dryers.
- After drying, raise the nap with a brush.
- Refresh protection after heavy use or deep cleaning.
