Been asked to protect wall and door mounted suede coverings, all I can find (google) is about shoes would Kiwi product be good enough, though a tad expensive by the can, any recommendations? And as always they dangled the carrot worldwide you don’t often get a brit being the preferred contractor

someone who has wall to wall suede  doesn't live on skid row they will be used to dealing with professionals.

complement them of their fine choice of quality wall & door coverings,  then tell them you need have done many protections jobs on materials such as this and each all of them have been treated uniquely different.

so you need to contact the supplier to request a sample to test. so as to ascertain the best way to protect their investment

Might be a bit tricky...water based not suitable, solvent based would seem way to go but with caution
as any thing more than a light mist might affect adhesive  :(

A test on an unseen bit would be worth trying for a very lucrative job.

good Luck Len

Have a great suede protector.  Solvent based and incredibly affective.  How much do you have to cover?

Mike

You are so right company are defiantly not m&s. 600quid for an Italian leather ipad case, 300 to me I’m a pro  ;)

We always complement them on their choice, it makes us money. ;D

As for contacting their supplier we done in the past for there new tile flooring they recommended acid  ??? perhaps a break down in the language, in the end we used Dynax 8)
