Hello everyone first time in SF and it is because I made a small mistake applying some Renovateur on my Dark WIllow Merrmins from a recent MTO. I know you should be careful when applying, since it can remove some finish. Let's just I was very excited and must have taken a little too much Renovateur lol. Either way, to fix this if it's possible, can I just get some dark brown polish and pray it works?

Your small mistake is not really visible to my eyes. Renovateur will only clean and moisturize the leather and after this process it's recommended to apply shoe color cream to maintain the color.
You can apply dark brown cream but keep in mind to use small amounts and you can redo this process several times until they achieve your desired color.

Take care!
