Dear forum member,

This is my first post on this site, and I can only hope I will be clear enough with my questions. I also hope I did nothing wrong with bumping this old thread.

I have a pair Sonus Faber Amati Futuras at home and thinking about "revitalizing" its - as far as I know, real - leather cover on its front baffle.
Relative humidity in my dedicated room between 40-55%, depending on seasons and heating, and even though I can't see cracking on the speakers leather finish, I would like to avoid it.

As you wrote, you'd contacted Sumiko in this matter, and they recommended "Pedag Super Shine Cream Polish".
I live in Hungary, I have never seen this trademark here, so I should import their product from abroad. Would you show me a direct link to this - or whatever product you find useful for this task? I found different shoe and multipurpose leather conditioning/cleaning materials on the manufacturer's homepage and have no clue, which one to choose. Maybe I missed, but have not found the one you posted about.

Can I also ask, how should I work with the material rightly? I mean which kind of clothes you use, and how much of this cream(?)/oil(?) should apply on the cloth - or the leather(?) itself? I do not want to do harm the leather, hence my, maybe overcareful approach.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Gabor
