Hello all

we had a slight accident with some nail polish on our leather sofa in haste we used nail polish remover to remove the nail polish anyway it may have been the nail polish or the remover that caused it but there is now a slight mark where the nail polish was, there is no change in colour but a slight dullness in the shine of the leather. Anyway its not really big enough to make a claim on our house insurance so would anyone have any idea if it could be polished out etc?

Cheers for any advice.

Martin

Hi and welcome to the forum! Sorry no one has answered your question, but I don't think there is a way to actually fix this since the finish has been stripped off the leather.
Have you tried a leather conditioner or even a clear leather shoe polish? May help with the dullness.

yes i have managed to get most of the dullness out by polishing it with some leather polish.

Thank you for your advice
