No did not use balm it would not take.

Its actually the same colour just different light got the colour match from furniture clinic.

The degreaser was worked in using brush left for 30 minutes the wiped residue off.Took a couple of applications but most effective degreaser I have tried so far.

Customer thought I had replaced chair over the moon £120 was the charge

10/10 for me then, although I did have insider knowledge as the Missus is sat on ours. Suprised Grison didn't take but it does depend on what condition it is in.
