Necessary for perfection

Easy to use. Very necessary to make thing work right. Even made mistake when painting sample area. This even helped clean that off to start over. More the enough for many other projects. Cleaned and deglazed my project with ease. Helps paint stick better so why not do it right with this product. Priced fairly and very useable other then just for this. Will remove just about anything being acitone and alcohol. Saved messing up the project by not using it.

Not quite as expecte, but wonderful

Bought purple to dye a bright yellow large purse. It came out metallic with a slight purple tinge. I actually love the unintended consequence! It’s unexpected and fab!

This product did not work

This product did not remove the previous color from my leather shoes. A bit of the original pink color showed on the cloth that I used. But the product was unable to remove the original color on the leather. I did rub the product in thoroughly and used the Burgundy color, which I thought would be strong enough for pink.

Hi there. We are sorry the product did not meet your expectations. This product is not intended to remove color thoroughly. It is intended to take off the 'manufacturer finish'. Once that happens, the paint will easily adhere to the leather.If you have any questions regarding that item, please contact us at info@angelusdirect.com
