Works great! No complaints

Highly Recommend this Excellent Product.

I used it to remove original dye staining from my cowboy boots in preparation for re-dying. It worked like a charm.

bought solid white "leather" boots forever ago for like $5 with the intent to paint them a sparkly metallic pink. Let me tell you, I have tried various paint brands (from apple barrel to liquitex) and each time I redid the paint, it cracked and peeled and had to be redone. I was skeptical about putting in even more money on new paint for the shoes but u have worn them several times outside and there isn't a single crack in the paint! they seem to be holding up and I wish I had just spent the money in the first place. Angelus brand leather paints allow mixing of colors and I ended up mixing Pearlescent Rose Gold, metallic silver, and hot pink. I wish I had used less pink and silver because the rose gold looks much better in person than pictured. The final repaint of these boots consisted of using their deglazer, mixing a bottle of paint of ONLY Angelus brand leather paints, and then once dried I covered it with 2 or 3 coats of Angelus glitterlite candy pink glitter (it looks more red than pink in person, in my opinion) and then finished with one of angelus' acrylic finishers. I'm not sure about how well it would have gone without the deglazer or finisher. but I figured I'd share my experiences! save your time and grief and use this brand!

Angelus Leather Preparer and Deglazer is a must-have for leather care and restoration. The 5 oz bottle is easy to handle, and it effectively removes old finishes, dirt, and oils without damaging the leather. It preps the surface perfectly for dyeing or refinishing shoes, belts, and other leather items. Works exactly as expected and is very reliable.

Works as intended. Easy to apply when working with leather sneakers -- I just rub gently with cotton balls, using cotton swabs for the detail areas, until the shine has dulled a bit. The only reason I don't give this five stars is I have had just as much luck with nail polish remover at a fraction of the price, and longevity does not seem to be affected, so I'm not sure this is worth the additional expense. However, it certainly does the job. In all, you can't go wrong with it, but there may be a cheaper alternative that is just as good.

Angelus is the best hands down. If you need to take off a leather finish this is for you. It is the first step to painting an already finished leather item. You will not be disappointed by any of their products!

This is a great product for changing the color of leather boots. I picked up a pair of Vietnam era black paratrooper boots at a flea market in June, they are just the size for my grandson. He is a WWII enthusiast at 11 following me , do you believe it? The boots were black and now brown, because as we all know the USArmy was the brow boot/ shoe army. Good product.

Buena calidad

This is a very good product for preparing leather shoes for dyeing.

Perfect brand for customization

The product is excellent because it does not damage the leather but rather prepares it for dying you just need to be patient and wait for it to dry off after you’ve glazed at least a few hours before you try

Works really well however, the size purchased was far to small fir ny leather arm chair. Worth purchasing, but would advise to buy a bigger one.
