The focus is on maximum effectiveness with minimal material intervention – meaning leather remains natural, supple, and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK offers complete solutions for all leather applications – from gentle cleaning and conditioning to color refresh or repair. The product range includes the Leather Cleaner (Mild and Strong), Leather Protector, Leather Sealant, Liquid Leather, and repair and color sets under the name \"Leder Fresh.\" All products are designed to be easy to use for both professional detailers and ambitious private users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eA key feature of the brand is its research expertise in material protection: COLOURLOCK combines skin-friendly surfactants, high-quality waxes, and UV stabilizers that do not weigh down the leather but preserve its natural structure. This significantly reduces typical damage such as drying out, fading, or fine cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIn practice, application usually involves three steps: First, the leather is thoroughly cleaned – using either the mild or strong cleaner depending on the degree of soiling. This is followed by conditioning with the Leather Protector or Sealant, which provides suppleness, UV protection, and a pleasant feel. For older or heavily used areas, products such as Liquid Leather or Leder Fresh are used to make color breaks and scratches invisible. The result is always the same: clean, naturally matte leather with an authentic feel and long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eSince its integration into Koch-Chemie GmbH, COLOURLOCK has continuously developed its product line – with a focus on sustainable formulations, extended application areas, and optimized kits for detailers.

Modern automotive leathers have a PU topcoat that somewhat repels dirt, but still collects grease and light abrasion particles over time. The mild formula breaks down these deposits without stressing the topcoat or altering its breathability. According to the manufacturer, Mild is ideal for maintaining the natural matte finish and feel — an advantage over cleaners that are too strong, which can lead to dry, dull leather with frequent use.

In practice, situations often arise where classic leather cleaners reach their limits: wax residues, greasy residues from care products, or old sealing layers are often difficult to remove with mild cleaners. This is exactly where this stain and wax remover comes in. Its special formulation selectively dissolves such residues from the surface without penetrating unnecessarily deep into the material. The result is a clean, even surface that is ready for care, protection, or professional leather preparation. In the world of detailing, this is a crucial step, because only a residue-free surface allows for a consistent finish and long-lasting results. Especially in automotive detailing - for example, on car seats, door panels, or leather steering wheels - it quickly becomes clear how important this clean starting base is. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliably removes wax and care film residues\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time, residues from care products, skin oils, or wax formulations accumulate on leather surfaces.

Especially in the vehicle interior, various residues accumulate over time: skin oils from hands, waxes from care products, polish residues, or dirt from clothing. These residues often form a thin film on the surface that can only be partially removed with classic leather cleaners. This is exactly where COLOURLOCK Stain Remover demonstrates its strength. The formulation is designed to specifically dissolve such residues without unnecessarily soaking the leather or affecting its structure. In the detailing process, this means: First, the surface is cleaned with a suitable leather cleaner, then the stain and wax remover is used to dissolve remaining residues. The result is a clean, evenly prepared surface - a prerequisite if you then want to apply a leather conditioner, a protective sealant, or even a color freshener. In practice, it quickly becomes apparent that such specialized steps make the difference between a simple cleaning and a truly professional leather restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResidue-free preparation before leather care, sealing, and color refresh\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidue-free surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e are crucial in detailing when it comes to consistent results and long-lasting care. Residues from old care layers can prevent new products from adhering properly or spreading evenly. That's why a stain and wax remover like COLOURLOCK Stain Remover is often used as an intermediate step in the care process. For application, the cleaner is applied to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wiped over the affected area. The formulation dissolves waxes, greasy films, or old care components that may have accumulated over months or years. This step is particularly useful for leather steering wheels, heavily used seating surfaces, or armrests, as a lot of residue accumulates there. After cleaning, the surface appears visibly more even and feels significantly more neutral – a sign that bothersome films have been removed. Only then do high-quality leather care products, sealants, or protective products unfold their full effect. Precisely for this reason, this work step is part of the standard preparation before the actual care treatment in many professional detailing workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRemove leather stains without unnecessary stress on the surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving leather stains\u003c\/strong\u003e in the detailing sector always means finding the right balance between cleaning performance and material protection. Leather surfaces consist of a combination of natural leather structure and a protective pigment or lacquer layer. This top layer ensures that the leather remains resistant in everyday life, but at the same time, it must not be unnecessarily attacked during cleaning. A specialized stain and wax remover therefore works specifically on the surface and dissolves residues without unnecessarily stressing the material. This is exactly what makes COLOURLOCK Stain Remover a useful tool in professional detailing. Instead of aggressive basic cleaning, precise work is carried out here - exactly where stains, wax residues, or greasy films occur. This controlled approach pays off particularly with high-quality leather interiors, classic cars, or well-maintained everyday vehicles. The leather remains visually even, the surface appears clean and prepared, and subsequent care products can unfold their effect optimally. In summary, this step ensures exactly the result that is aimed for in professional detailing: a clean, well-maintained leather surface with a natural look and a high-quality finish.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":56320157286735,"sku":"D1-KCX-36-1L-01","price":10.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":56320157319503,"sku":"D1-KCX-36-10L-01","price":87.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-colourlock-stain-remover-flecken-und-wachsentferner_1000ml_36-1L-01_1.png?v=1762115249"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-fresh-up-geruchsneutralisierer","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Fresh Up\" Odor Neutralizer with Fresh Scent","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK Fresh Up — Odor Neutralizer with Fresh Scent for Leather, Textile \u0026amp; Interior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does COLOURLOCK Fresh Up do? — The odor neutralizer eliminates unpleasant odors in leather, textiles, and interior surfaces, permanently binds odor molecules, and leaves a pleasant, fresh, subtle scent.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Fresh Up\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal odor neutralizer for cars, furniture, shoes, and all areas where leather or textiles absorb odors.

First, clean new or like-new leather with a mild leather cleaner to remove manufacturing residues, light body oils, and micro-dirt. The product is applied with a soft applicator in straight, overlapping strokes until a homogeneous film is formed. After a short drying time, the leather dries to a silky matte finish; typical re-polishing is not necessary because the product does not form wax-based residues. Especially in detail areas – steering wheel, console leather, side bolsters – precise work pays off. In combination with regular mild cleaning, the protective effect remains stable. For heavily used vehicles such as company cars or daily drivers, a quarterly refresh is recommended, as these areas experience higher mechanical stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, Durability \u0026amp; Typical Application Areas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter applying \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Shield\u003c\/strong\u003e, the leather's look remains original matte and free from greasy shine, which quickly becomes visible, especially in dark interiors. Durability naturally depends on use and material, as the product is mechanically worn away as a protective layer. In everyday vehicles, the benefits are most apparent: uniform wear, less creasing, and significantly later appearance of shine on side bolsters and steering wheels. For leased vehicles, Leather Shield is almost mandatory, as it slows down visible aging and maintains the interior's appearance until return. The product also convinces in professional detailing as part of a systematic leather care process, as it is neither silicone-based nor over-conditioning and harmonizes perfectly with mild cleaners and subsequent conditioner care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions about COLOURLOCK × Koch-Chemie Leather Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I also use Leather Shield on older leather?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but older surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand and lightly refreshed if necessary.

According to the manufacturer, the formula is designed not to \"flood\" the capillaries of the leather, so no hard edges, wash marks, or stiff areas occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWashing Preparation, Dosage \u0026amp; Correct Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore using \u003cstrong\u003eLeather \u0026amp; Fur Wash Concentrate\u003c\/strong\u003e, you should check if the product is \"washable\" — for both leather and fur. Brush off loose dirt beforehand. For machine washing, select a gentle cycle with a low temperature and low spin speed; for hand washing, use lukewarm water. The concentrate should be dosed according to the manufacturer's instructions, stirred in sparingly, and distributed evenly. During the washing process, the formulation prevents the leather from losing its natural oil structure. After washing, the material should be air-dried flat, occasionally pulled into shape, and for furs, gently brushed to restore the natural structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, Areas of Application \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, leather and fur feel softer, fresher, and hygienically clean, without becoming brittle or hard.

A lot of detailers start at 1:5 — but the stronger mix leaves surfactant residue that dries as pale rings. Start at 1:10 and only step up to 1:5 if the dirt won't come out on the first pass. On leather you stay at 1:20, full stop. Use distilled water — tap water brings limescale rings with it, particularly nasty on dark Alcantara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 as standard. 1:20 on leather.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePol Star gets dosed differently depending on material and dirt level. 1:10 is the all-round ratio for fabric and Alcantara at normal soiling — a 500 ml spray bottle then takes 45 ml of concentrate and 455 ml of distilled water. Vacuum thoroughly before cleaning so loose dirt doesn't get into the solution and pull streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor embedded stains on carpet or footwell, drop to 1:5. On leather you stay at 1:20, because the top coat can react to higher surfactant levels with a loss of sheen. The conserver in the formula protects existing impregnations but doesn't replace a sealant after cleaning — if you want to rebuild a fabric impregnation, lay it down separately once everything is fully dry. Dwell time runs 30 to 60 seconds; longer doesn't give you more cleaning, because the surfactant action hits its plateau by then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou apply with a fine-mist sprayer, not directly with the cloth. The fine foam needs air to work into the fibre — too much liquid floods the fabric and drags the drying time out to 12 hours. To lift it off, grab a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/the-collection-mikrofasertuecher-allround-coating-300-kurzfloriges-edgeless-mikrofasertuch-300-gsm\"\u003eshort-pile microfibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e or a wet-dry vacuum for larger upholstery work. On Alcantara, work along the fibre direction — never circular, otherwise the surface mats up visually and looks duller than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, wipe down or extract with clean water so no surfactant residue stays behind. Leftovers would act as a dust magnet and re-soil the surface faster. Work at room temperature between 15 and 25 degrees — in sun or heat the concentrate flashes off too fast and leaves rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-colourlock-pol-star-reinigerkonzentrat-textil-leder-alcantara_anwendung_2887a60b-7120-4b56-8839-5f9adb7e9e97.png?v=1776185956\" alt=\"Pol Star diluted 1:10 sprayed onto Alcantara seat from iK Multi spray bottle\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePol Star handles three materials.

The top coat insulates the cleaner from the collagen, so the surfactants pull dirt off without working into the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn open-pore leathers it behaves differently. Aniline, semi-aniline and nubuck have no protective pigment layer — the concentrate goes straight into the fibre and can cause staining or discolouration. For those materials, the specific Aniline \u0026 Nubuck Cleaner from the same COLOURLOCK range is the right call, formulated for exactly that case. Suede and velour fall into this category too and need a dry or enzymatic approach instead of a surfactant solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every leather job, test colourfastness on a hidden spot: wet a cotton swab with 1:20 solution, hold it on the test patch for 30 seconds, check for colour transfer. If the swab picks up colour, the leather isn't a fit for Pol Star. The manufacturer doesn't put this front and centre — but it saves you expensive mistakes, because discoloured leather usually only comes back with a full re-dye.

The 1-litre at 1:10 covers around 20 full interior cleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot the right pick if you're only doing leather — for that, the COLOURLOCK range has the dedicated Leather Cleaner in Mild and Strong grades, tuned to dirt level and leather type. It also hits limits with dried-in stains older than a week or organic spills like milk, blood or vomit — for those, enzyme cleaners work more reliably, because they break protein bonds instead of just lifting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the workflow side: as a concentrate, you need a proper fine-mist spray head.

This is precisely where friction, skin oils, and UV exposure meet daily – the result is a smooth, slippery grip and a visibly worn appearance. This set doesn't just work superficially, but systematically: cleaning, degreasing, color refreshment, and sealing interlock to restore both appearance and feel. Developed for black steering wheels made of surface-dyed smooth leather, you can achieve results that are oriented towards OEM condition – precise, even, and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Solution Instead of Individual Product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach component in the set fulfills a clear task: the mild cleaner removes dirt, the degreaser dissolves deep-seated fats, Leather Fresh restores color, and Leather Shield protects against renewed wear.

Over the years, skin oils, care products, and dirt particles accumulate on a steering wheel, penetrating deep into the surface structure. The included Leather Cleaner mild gently dissolves these residues without unnecessarily attacking the factory coating. But only with the Degreaser do you achieve the crucial difference: It completely removes residual fats and silicone residues, so that the subsequent dye can adhere optimally. This step precisely determines whether the result lasts permanently or wears off prematurely. This process is supported by the Sanding Pad, which lightly mattifies the surface, allowing for an even absorption of the color. In combination with sponges and viscose cloths, a clean, absorbent base is created – the prerequisite for a professional result, as otherwise only known from detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApply Leather Dye, Refresh Steering Wheel Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the surface is perfectly prepared, the central step follows: \u003cstrong\u003eapplying leather dye to the steering wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Leather Fresh is not a classic dye in the traditional sense, but a specially developed tint that flexibly binds with the leather surface. This is crucial because a steering wheel is constantly moved, stretched, and stressed. Rigid coatings would quickly crack or peel off here. By applying with the included sponges, the dye can be applied evenly and controllably, without creating streaks or transitions. Layered application is particularly important here: thin, even applications ensure a natural finish and prevent visible transitions. The result is a homogeneous color surface that visually blends perfectly into the overall interior. This is where the strength of this set lies – it's not about covering up, but about precisely restoring the original look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeal Leather, Protect Durability of Steering Wheel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter color refreshment, proper sealing determines durability – and this is where Leather Shield comes in. When \u003cstrong\u003esealing a leather steering wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e, an invisible protective layer is built up, which reduces abrasion and significantly slows down the renewed penetration of dirt and skin oils. Especially for frequently used vehicles, this step is essential, as it significantly influences the lifespan of the repair. The system is complemented by the Elephant Leather Preserver, which keeps the leather supple and prevents drying out – especially important for older or already stressed steering wheels. The interplay of protection and care ensures that the leather not only looks good but also feels high-quality in the long term.
