The leather surfaces were cleaned - left side clean/right side untouched.


then we applied the Wolf's Chemcials Nano Leather Sealant, you can clearly see which side was coated

Terrific... Never saw one in red until now.

My neighbor a few houses up got a white one as a Christmas gift... Complete with a red bow.
