Four-in-One Suede Care

The Renovateur Spray performs four essential care functions in one straightforward treatment.

It gently removes light surface dirt, refreshes faded colour, nourishes the material with almond oil and adds protection against moisture and staining. This makes it ideal for maintaining suede shoes, nubuck boots and other suitable accessories between deeper cleans.

Natural Almond Oil Formula

Natural cosmetic-grade almond oil helps condition the material and restore lost softness.

Suede and nubuck can gradually become dry, faded or stiff through regular wear. The nourishing formula helps maintain the flexible, silky feel of the raised surface without flattening it like a traditional smooth-leather cream or wax.

Refreshes Faded Colour

The pigmented versions deposit a light layer of colour to improve the appearance of faded or uneven areas.

Select the shade that most closely matches the original item. The spray is intended to refresh an existing colour rather than completely change it, and any pigmented treatment should be tested on a discreet area before full application.

Protection Against the Elements

The formula helps protect treated surfaces against water, snow, dirt and everyday stains.

This protective effect supports routine footwear care but should not be treated as permanent waterproofing. For enhanced protection against severe weather and staining, a dedicated suede-safe protector can be applied once the Renovateur Spray has dried completely.

Suitable Materials

The Renovateur Spray can be used on genuine or synthetic suede and nubuck, as well as compatible textile surfaces.

It is not designed for smooth leather, patent leather or highly delicate materials unless suitability is confirmed beforehand. Always check the item manufacturer’s care instructions and test the spray on a hidden area first.

Colour Guide

Neutral is the most versatile choice when you do not want to introduce additional pigment. Tinted options are designed to rejuvenate an existing matching shade.

Colour results can vary depending on the item’s original shade, age, absorbency and previous treatments.

How to Use

• Remove laces and detachable accessories where possible

• Gently brush away dust, dried mud and loose surface dirt

• Treat stubborn marks with a suitable suede eraser or cleaner first

• Protect the surrounding area with newspaper or another covering

• Test the selected colour on a discreet area

• Shake the aerosol can thoroughly before use

• Hold the can approximately 20cm from the surface

• Spray evenly in a well-ventilated area

• Apply a light coat without saturating the material

• Stuff footwear with plain paper to retain its shape

• Leave the treated item to dry for approximately 10 minutes

• Brush the dry surface gently to lift and restore the nap

• Reapply only when necessary

Application Advice

Apply the spray evenly across the complete panel or section rather than treating one small faded patch in isolation. This helps create a more consistent finish.

Cover contrasting soles, trims, stitching and nearby surfaces before using a tinted colour. Pigmented overspray may mark light-coloured materials, clothing or surrounding objects.

FAQs

What does the SAPHIR MEDAILLE D'OR Renovateur Spray do?

It lightly cleans, nourishes, refreshes colour and helps protect suede, nubuck and compatible textiles against moisture, dirt and staining.

Does it contain natural oils?

Yes. The formula contains natural cosmetic-grade almond oil to nourish the material and help preserve its soft, silky texture.

Does the spray recolour suede?

The tinted versions refresh an existing matching colour and can reduce the appearance of fading. They are not intended to completely change an item from one colour to another.

What is the Neutral spray for?

Neutral provides conditioning and protective benefits without intentionally depositing coloured pigment. It is useful when an exact colour match is unavailable or when maintaining multicoloured items.

Can it be used on nubuck?

Yes. The Renovateur Spray is specifically formulated for both suede and nubuck.

Can it be used on synthetic suede?

Yes. It is suitable for genuine and synthetic suede and nubuck, although a discreet patch test is always recommended.

Is it suitable for smooth leather?

No. This product is designed for suede, nubuck and compatible textiles. Use a suitable smooth-leather cleaner or conditioner on polished leather.

Does it waterproof footwear?

It helps protect against water, snow, dirt and stains, but it should not be considered a permanent waterproof barrier. A specialist suede-safe protector can be added afterwards when stronger protection is required.

How far away should the can be held?

Hold the aerosol approximately 20cm from the surface and apply an even, light coat.

How long does it take to dry?

Allow the treated item to dry for approximately 10 minutes. Drying may take longer if too much product is applied or conditions are cold and humid.

Should suede be brushed after treatment?

Yes. Once completely dry, gently brush the surface to lift the fibres and restore the natural nap.

Can I apply it directly over mud or stains?

No. Brush away loose dirt first and treat stubborn marks with a suitable suede eraser or specialist cleaner before applying the renovator.

Will the coloured spray stain contrasting trims?

Pigmented spray may mark contrasting materials. Mask or cover light soles, linings and decorative details, and always apply it carefully in a protected area.

How often should it be used?

Reapply when the material begins to look dry or faded or when its protective performance has reduced. Frequency depends on wear, weather exposure and the item’s care requirements.

What size is the can?

The Renovateur Spray is supplied in a 250ml aerosol can.
