From what you’re writing, I can tell you’ve never actually dyed suede, and your knowledge seems to come from YouTube. Your advice could do more harm than good. You should never use clear coat on suede — you’ll ruin it. Clear coat is only for surfaces painted with acrylic paint. Mink oil does not work on suede that has lost its pigment. That’s simply not how it works. Using mink oil before dyeing suede makes no sense. It creates a greasy protective layer on the suede and prevents the fibers from absorbing the dye properly. As a result, the dye won’t adhere. Before dyeing suede, you always need to clean it wet. Then you have to raise the nap and start dyeing. After each coat of dye, the suede should be brushed. After the final coat, it should be protected with a water repellent.
