AngelusLeather Preparer Deglazer 5oz

Product is easy to use and works great!

Easy to use. It works fine.You may want to use gloves to keep the solution off your fingers and hands.It does produce some vapor like nail polish remover.I used it on a belt so I could change it from a brown color to mahogany. While the deglazer did not remove the brown color, it did remove the waxy polish coating so the new dye could penetrate.

Had a pair of repro WW2 boots that had been finished with a horrible plastic coating that just made cleaning, oiling and dyeing to a correct color impossible. Did a little research, and found this deglazer. Followed instructions and took my time - and I took a pair of boots that were considered a waste of money and trash, to great! It took that coating off and gave me a great pair of boots that are not only now usable for re-enacting and display, but a fantastic looking pair of boots to wear. Cannot recommend this deglazer enough.

I used this acrylic shoe paint on my 10 year old golf shoes and the results were unbelievable. I tried a shoe dye last year with miserable results. If the paint didn’t work, I was going to throw the shoes away. If you want to rejuvenate your old leather shoes, I highly recommend shoe paint.

I followed some YouTube videos and used this to deglaze a pair of casual dress shoes that were too orange in color instead of tan/brown. After using as directed, I used the companion Angelus leather dye and transformed my shoes from a back-of-the-closet mistake to everyday work shoes. I do believe the product is largely acetone. So, that could be an alternative for some if you happen to have a can in your shed/garage.

Works well, does make stripping off color and old products much easier. Make sure to cover the other areas when use this product! I got little on my coated canvas while working on the leather trim and the color/design on that area (luckily not the main area of the bag) came right off! FYI this act and smells just like nail polish remover not sure if there is any difference.

Great product for dyeing shoes

I have a D&G bag that was starting to look a bit worn, so I bought this product to prep it for painting. But wow, after just cleaning it with this, it completely transformed! My bag looks brand new, and now I’m actually hesitant to paint it because I love how it looks now. It really brought a fresh, revitalized look to my bag!
