Renovation of a leather sofa

Hello, we have 2 leather crust sofas that we bought several years ago that are now in very bad condition. It is mainly the foundations that are damaged. By scratching, the leather disintegrates.
Do you think it is possible to renovate leather with your products?

Leather crust is certainly the worst quality of leather you can have. What is alarming is that this quality is now often found among the largest furniture manufacturers. They discreetly use the leather crust for the settee frame, but boast full grain leather for the upper elements (seats, cushions, etc.).
However, it is possible to make up for most of your shortcomings, but not with the classic method we recommend.
Cleaning prior to repair should not be done with acetone but with a less aggressive product such as our leather cleaner.
To soften the visible relief of the leather, use 240 grain abrasive paper. To fill in the gaps, apply REPACUIR (leather repairer). Colour and varnish again. Do not apply nourishing oil, it could generate more than anything else because it will not go down into the leather.
We advise you to only re-colour your seats. Send us a leather sample so that we can reproduce the color.
