Problem with the resistance of the recolourant
Hello,
I am facing a small problem, in the process of recoloring (from white to grey) the leatherette of my steering wheel.
When applying a first coat of Skai Protection with a roller, some small plates (5 mm) of the 4 layers of recolouring agent previously applied were detached in places.
I suppose that despite the use of a thermal stripper to accelerate drying, I didn't wait long enough (less than 24 hours) after the application of the last coat of recolorant.
And that the adhesive power of the Protection was enough to tear them off.
Before any application, I had cleaned the surface, first with alcohol and then with Skai Degreaser.
Is it possible to make up for these shortfalls, please? How? How?
Or is it better to strip everything to start over?
(there are currently 4 coats of recolorant and a protective coat of sconces)
In advance, thank you.
Emmanuel.

Hello,
To degrease well, do not soak the leatherette but apply a coat of degreaser, allow the product to infiltrate and extract with a micro-fibre cloth. On the seat you will not have the same problem unless you drive in shorts.

Hello,
Thank you for these clarifications on the use of the Degraissant leatherette.
I realize that so far I have not proceeded correctly.
I had thought that this product would also act as an adhesion primer (in the same way as for a painting on plastic). And so it had to be left in a depot!
I'm going to do it differently for the driver's seat (with which I finish).
I do indeed sometimes drive in shorts and, more frequently, lay my hands on the raised edges of the seat (semi-bucket) that I have to recolour.
With the steering wheel, the outer edge (left) will also be the most exposed to friction (at each entry and exit of the vehicle).

Hello,
I tried an acetone degreasing, by making a preliminary test on an inconspicuous part of the seat (without seeing any degradation).
Then on the part blackest by friction, o
