How to Keep Patent Leather From Peeling
- 1). Wipe the surface of your leather clean and free of dirt.
- 2). Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to surface of the leather. Apply the jelly with your fingertips working it into the leather. Allow the jelly 10 to 15 minutes to permeate the leather's skin -- which helps to prevent peeling.
- 3). Wipe away the excess jelly with your cloth.
- 4). Use a buffing brush to bring the patent leather to a high-gloss shine.
