Nubuck is made from the strongest surface part and the most durable, grain is brushed and polished to create a velvet-like quality. Apply a suitable water and stain spray protector, avoiding wax polish as this will spoil the special finish. Wipe in the same direction with either a white lint free cloth or a stiff nylon brush to regularly remove dust and dirt. If dampened allow leather to air-dry naturally away from direct heat.
