Pre-assembled leather repair kits for different types of damage: securing tears from the back with glue and adhesive fabric, rebuilding missing substance with liquid leather and color, refreshing worn leather steering wheels. Tools and consumables are included in the box. Developed from hands-on leather repair experience since 1995, now under the umbrella of Koch-Chemie.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepair kits from COLOURLOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e are pre-assembled leather repair kits from the specialist that has been involved in leather repair since 1995 and is now part of Koch-Chemie. Each kit covers the complete damage chain: cleaning, degreasing, backing the tear, filling in material, recoloring, and sealing. The difference compared to buying items individually lies not in the bundling, but in the intermediate steps that no one else includes — along with the necessary tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe chain breaks at the skipped step.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anyone who applies color to uncleaned, non-degreased leather will see it peeling at the edges after two to six weeks. That is why the degreaser is included in the kits on an equal footing with the cleaner, rather than as an optional accessory. It is the step that truly determines the success of a leather repair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools in the box instead of on the shopping list.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adhesive fabric, mini brushes, foam dispensers, sanding pads, viscose cloths, and nitrile gloves are included in each respective set. The steering wheel set contains fourteen parts with a total of 415 ml of chemicals. No stopover at a specialty upholstery shop, no improvising with a kitchen towel on fresh paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepairing is about breaks, not force.\u003c\/strong\u003e The water-based glue can handle stress after about two hours and reaches full strength after 48 hours; the fresh color only receives its sealant the next day. This means for you: you should plan two sessions with a night in between, rather than trying to finish everything in one afternoon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure the damage before choosing the kit — and don't just measure the tear, but the area around it. A clean tear of up to about five centimeters without any missing material is purely a gluing case: cut the adhesive fabric two to three centimeters larger, apply glue thinly, done. If material or color is missing at the edges of the tear, filling and coloring are required. However, the mistake we encounter most often is not at the tear, but on the colored surface: color should be applied up to the next seam, not just to the edge of the damage — otherwise, a visible edge will appear in the middle of the side bolster of a pigmented smooth leather seat that wasn't there before. We almost always receive this question one step too late, when the first layer has already been applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe box contains the steps you would otherwise skip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather repair rarely fails due to the material. It fails because of the sequence — specifically the two steps that no one buys when purchasing individual items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is degreasing. The degreaser in the kits is a special cleaning solvent that removes deep-seated waxes, silicones, and body oils from the surface without dissolving the color layer underneath. You can tell it's working when the treated area feels matte and slightly tacky to the touch. This matte, slightly grippy state is the prerequisite for the glue and color to adhere at all. Even on a visually clean steering wheel, there is a film of hand oils that acts like a release agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is the sealant after coloring. A freshly colored surface is soft and readily absorbs jean dye transfer. The sealant applies a thin sacrificial layer on top that absorbs friction and color transfer before they reach the new pigment layer. Without this final step, the repair will start failing exactly where you performed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe container sizes follow the same logic: they are tailored to one job, not for stocking up. Twenty grams of leather glue are enough for several tears on bolsters and backrests, and the 100-ml bottles in the steering wheel kit cover one steering wheel with some left over. Based on our daily experience with repair inquiries, we can state clearly: returns are almost never due to material defects. They are due to skipped intermediate steps, and those are not an option with a kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is missing determines the kit: hold, substance, or color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich kit you need is not decided by your vehicle or the model year, but by the question of what is actually missing from the leather: fiber cohesion, material, or just color on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf cohesion is missing, the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Glue Repair Set\" is the starting point. Water-based leather glue in a 20-gram container, a tear-resistant adhesive fabric for backing, and two fine mini brushes — that's all a tear without material loss requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glue acts as a water-based polymer dispersion: as it dries, the polymer chains mechanically interlock with the open leather fibers and the fabric underneath. In practice, this means the repaired area remains rubbery and elastic, stretching when you get in and out of the car instead of tearing at its own edge. It is also odorless because only water evaporates, with no solvents lingering in the interior for days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf material is missing, the COLOURLOCK \"Complete Leather Repair Set\" takes over. It bundles a cleaner and degreaser for preparation, flexible liquid leather for filling tears, Leather Fresh color for tinting, Leather Shield as a sealant, and Leather Protector for conditioning older leather. This is the complete chain from a dirty seat bolster to a protected surface, and it is the only kit here that covers structure and color in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf only color is missing from a heavily worn area, the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Steering Wheel\" set is the more appropriate choice. Fourteen parts for black steering wheels made of surface-dyed smooth leather: mild cleaner, degreaser, color, sealant, a re-greaser for the substance, plus a foam dispenser, sanding pad, application sponges, and viscose cloths. On almost every steering wheel, the wear occurs in the same places: the grip zones at ten and two o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if nothing is missing, but the top layer is only superficially damaged, the case belongs one level lower: a scratch that cannot be felt with a fingernail is a job for the \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur-kratzer\"\u003eleather scratch remover\u003c\/a\u003e and not for a repair kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTools matter more often than chemicals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most noticeable ingredient in a repair kit is not the bottle, but the cloth. The wrong tool can cause even the best chemicals to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe viscose cloth is one such case. Microfiber cloths from paint detailing are built for hard surfaces and create fine sanding marks in the soft top layer of the leather — these only become visible in raking light when the sun shines flat across the seat surface. The included viscose cloth picks up cleaner and dirt without abrading. In our follow-up questions regarding stained repairs, the microfiber cloth appears with striking regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam dispenser is the second underestimated part. Leather can handle cleaner; it just cannot handle large amounts of water. Applied as foam, the liquid stays on the surface, works for thirty to sixty seconds, and is removed before it can soak into the fibers. In other words: you clean the finish and not the leather underneath, and the drying break remains short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe logic is the same for the rest. The adhesive fabric distributes the tensile force of a tear over several centimeters instead of concentrating it on a millimeter-wide glue joint. The mini brushes dose the glue between the fabric and the leather backing instead of pouring a drop into the tear from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application sponge dabs the color on because brushing with a water-based tint immediately leaves wipe marks. The sanding pad mattes the surface so the color can grip. And the nitrile gloves are not safety accessories: they prevent you from re-greasing the freshly degreased leather with your own fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRepairing is waiting time, not working time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive work on a seat bolster takes a good hour. It takes two days for the result to be truly stress-resistant — and in between, there is nothing you can do to speed it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gluing phase is timed. Apply glue thinly, let it flash off for two to five minutes until it becomes tacky, then press the edges of the tear onto the adhesive fabric under even pressure for fifteen to thirty minutes. A clothes peg or a small sandbag is enough for this. First load-bearing capacity after about two hours, full final strength after 48 hours. Work between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius: frost destroys the emulsion, heat above 30 degrees Celsius pulls the glue closed before it has found its way into the fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color phase happens in layers. Two to four thin coats, each dried with warm air until the water is driven out — only then does the color bond with the pores. The sealant is applied no sooner than after 24 hours, ideally the next day. Anyone applying it too early will trap residual moisture under the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne point that is irritating the first time but is part of the process: after the first coat of liquid leather, the area looks worse than before. The mass shrinks while drying, and the tear becomes visible again. This is not an application error, but the reason why two to three thin applications are planned instead of one thick one. Anyone who reapplies at this point and observes the drying time in between will get a flat surface. Anyone who applies it thickly instead gets a crust that will crack at the next movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA kit buys material, not grain structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepair kits are built for the standard case: pigmented smooth leather, manageable damage, factory color black. Outside of this framework, the limits quickly become clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first limit is the surface itself. A filled area is smooth, the leather around it is grained — in raking light, this difference remains visible, even if the color and gloss level match exactly. We simulated this in Nordhorn on a remnant of pigmented smooth leather: viewed head-on, you cannot find the repaired area; in flat sunlight, it lies as a smooth spot in the grain. Restoring the grain is a smart-repair craft involving molding and embossing and is not part of these kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is color, and it is the most frequent reason for inquiries. The kits come in factory color black. However, leather that has been in the sun for years no longer has the tone with which it left the factory — black tends to turn grey, brown to reddish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who needs a special color or has two-tone interior trim should combine from the individual range under \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben\"\u003eDyeing \u0026amp; Finishing\u003c\/a\u003e; for many vehicle models, COLOURLOCK mixes colors based on a leather sample sent in. Ordering by photo does not work for color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third limit is the substrate. The complete set is calibrated for pigmented smooth leather with a closed top coat — aniline leather, nubuck, suede, Alcantara, and plastic-coated split leathers remain excluded because open pores absorb cleaner and color, causing staining and clumping. With glue, the situation is more relaxed: it can be used on aniline and suede, but only sparingly on the back, otherwise the spot will darken or the pile will clump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth limit is wear. On steering wheels used by high-mileage drivers and sport seat bolsters, a water-based tint will rub off again after twelve to 24 months — that is the physics of shear stress, not a defect. And where the fiber breaks when bent, the foam core is exposed, or a load-bearing seam has come undone, no box will help anymore: then an upholsterer is the honest answer. Universal repair pastes with mixed colors from the hardware store, by the way, do not solve any of these limits; they only shift them to a smaller area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich repair kit your damage requires\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fastest way to a decision involves two questions: Is the leather ripped, and is something missing from the edges?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the leather is ripped but nothing is missing, the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Glue Repair Set\" is sufficient — back, press, let harden. If material or color is missing at the edges of the tear, the case belongs in the COLOURLOCK \"Complete Leather Repair Set\" because filling and tinting are then mandatory. If the leather is not damaged at all, but only shiny and worn colorless, and the damage is on a black leather steering wheel, the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Steering Wheel\" set is the more precise choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat comes after is replenishment, not a new kit. Glue and filler are the first to run out, but you keep the tools. Both are available individually: \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur-lederkleber\"\u003eLeather glue \u0026amp; seam repair\u003c\/a\u003e for backing and pinpoint fixations, \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur-fuellstoffe\"\u003eFillers \u0026amp; putty\u003c\/a\u003e for tears, holes, and surface cracks. The \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-entfetter\"\u003edegreaser\u003c\/a\u003e is the third candidate for a refill, because with careful work, it is empty faster than you think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone going deeper into the individual range will find pretreatment, glue, and fillers collected under \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur\"\u003eRepairs by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.

Two thin applications with drying time beat any repair that is supposed to be finished in one afternoon — and that is exactly why there is more waiting time in these boxes than work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-steering-wheel-set-lederreperaturset-lenkrad","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Leather Steering Wheel\" Set (kit riparazione pelle per volanti neri)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Leather Steering Wheel\" Set — kit riparazione pelle per un volante che fa presa, uniforme e come nuovo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCome ripari in modo duraturo un volante in pelle consumato?

Su un volante si accumulano negli anni sebo, prodotti di cura e particelle di sporco che penetrano in profondità nella struttura superficiale. Il Leather Cleaner mild incluso scioglie con delicatezza questi residui, senza aggredire inutilmente il rivestimento di fabbrica. Ma è con il Degreaser che fai la vera differenza: tira via completamente i grassi e i residui di silicone rimasti, così il colore che segue può fare presa al meglio. È proprio questo passaggio a decidere se il risultato tiene nel tempo o si consuma troppo presto. Il Sanding Pad sostiene il lavoro opacizzando leggermente la superficie, così il colore viene assorbito in modo uniforme. Insieme alle spugnette e ai panni in viscosa nasce una base pulita e ricettiva – la condizione per un risultato pro, come di solito si vede solo nel detailing completo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplicare il colore pelle e ravvivare la tinta del volante\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUna volta che la superficie è perfettamente preparata, segue il passo centrale: \u003cstrong\u003eapplicare il colore pelle sul volante\u003c\/strong\u003e. Leather Fresh non è una vernice classica nel senso comune, ma una tinta sviluppata apposta che si lega in modo flessibile alla superficie della pelle. È fondamentale, perché un volante viene mosso, teso e sollecitato di continuo. Rivestimenti rigidi qui creperebbero o si staccherebbero in fretta. Con le spugnette incluse passi il colore in modo uniforme e controllato, senza aloni o stacchi. Soprattutto è importante lavorare a strati: mani sottili e uniformi danno una finitura naturale ed evitano stacchi visibili. Il risultato è una superficie di colore omogenea che si integra alla perfezione nel resto dell'abitacolo. È qui che questo set mostra la sua forza – non si tratta di coprire, ma di ripristinare con precisione il look originale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSigillare la pelle per protezione e durata sul volante\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDopo il ravvivamento del colore, è la giusta sigillatura a decidere la durata – ed è proprio qui che entra Leather Shield. Quando \u003cstrong\u003esigilli un volante in pelle\u003c\/strong\u003e, costruisci uno strato protettivo invisibile che riduce l'abrasione e rallenta nettamente il ritorno di sporco e sebo. Sulle auto usate spesso questo passaggio è essenziale, perché pesa molto sulla durata della riparazione. Il sistema si completa con l'Elephant Leather Preserver, che mantiene la pelle morbida ed evita che si secchi – particolarmente importante su volanti più vecchi o già sollecitati. Questa sinergia tra protezione e cura fa sì che la pelle non solo abbia un bell'aspetto, ma resti piacevole e di pregio nel lungo periodo.

Not suitable for hard plastics, bare metal, glass, or exterior paints.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Leather Glue Repair Set\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the complete smart repair system from Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK for the \u003cstrong\u003ecar leather glue\u003c\/strong\u003e repair workflow. The box contains three components: a water-based leather glue in a 20-gram container, a pre-cut tear-resistant textile backing fabric, and two fine mini brushes for precise application. The glue uses a water-based polymer dispersion instead of volatile solvents. This makes it odor-neutral, non-flammable, and preserves the natural re-greasing agents in the leather collagen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePermanently elastic adhesive seam instead of brittle, hard bonding.\u003c\/strong\u003e As it dries, polymer chains mechanically interlock with the open leather fibers and the backing fabric. In short: the bond remains rubber-elastic like the leather itself. This means for you: when getting into the seat bolster, the glued area stretches with it and does not tear again on the first day of stress, as happens with superglue repairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdor-neutral and without pungent fumes in the interior.\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic saddler contact adhesives use volatile organic compounds, i.e., light solvents, which leave a pungent smell in the car for days. The water-based dispersion evaporates its water content and that's it. This means for you: the car is usable again after two hours, and no persistent glue smell permeates the seat upholstery and headliner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete set for an average seat bolster repair.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tear-resistant backing fabric and two mini brushes are included directly in the set — no separate accessory purchase from saddler specialists is necessary. The 20-gram tube is sufficient for three to six smart repair jobs on seat bolsters, backrest edges, or leather steering wheels, depending on the length of the crack. If you are restoring an entire seat, plan for a second set for very long crack chains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e We see the same pattern in every second call regarding leather repair. The customer sees the crack, squeezes a thick drop of glue into it, presses it down with their hand — four weeks later, the crack is open again or a dark shadow appears on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFrom our experience: the two crucial factors are degreasing and thin application. First, the adhesive edge must be stripped bare with COLOURLOCK Degreaser — otherwise, the water-based glue will bead off invisible skin fats and leather care residues. Second, the glue is sparingly applied with the mini brush between the leather fiber and backing fabric, never dropped directly into the crack from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor thin aniline and nappa leather, additionally: rather two thin layers with a short flash-off time each than one thick one that bleeds through and leaves a shadow on the surface. This is the discipline that separates the set from a DIY attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCar Leather Glue in Four-Phase Smart Repair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecar leather glue\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a tool for rushed actions, but the structural core of a timed four-phase workflow. If you skip a phase, you will see the result after the first week of driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase one is preparation. The crack and surrounding adhesive edges are thoroughly cleaned with Leather Cleaner Mild or Strong, then degreased with COLOURLOCK Degreaser. The Degreaser is a special cleaning benzine, a volatile solvent that removes deep-seated waxes, silicones, and body fats without dissolving the leather color. Practical: without this step, the water-based glue will not find a mechanical anchor in the leather and will bead off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase two is inserting the backing fabric for tension cracks. Cut the supplied textile fabric two to three centimeters larger than the crack, mark the center with a pen, fix it from above with a needle, and slide it centrally under the leather with a narrow spatula. The marking serves as a check: if it is centered in the crack, the fabric lies neatly under both crack edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhases three and four are glue application and curing. The glue is sparingly brushed with the mini brush between the backing fabric and the back of the leather, allowed to flash off for two to five minutes, then the crack edges are pressed onto the backing fabric for 15 to 30 minutes with even pressure — clothes pegs, a sandbag, or a small steel block can help. Initial load-bearing capacity after about two hours, full final strength after 48 hours. Only then can filling with Liquid Leather or further leather care steps be carried out. Processing temperature between 15 and 25 degrees — frost destroys the emulsion, heat above 30 degrees causes the glue to set too early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmooth and synthetic leather yes, aluminum door panels no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather glue is highly specialized. Four substrates are approved — and four areas are hard limits that even the best workflow cannot overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApproved are \u003cstrong\u003esmooth leather\u003c\/strong\u003e such as BMW Dakota, Mercedes Nappa, or Audi Valcona — the closed pigment layer holds the glue on the surface, which makes butt-joint processing controllable. Also approved are \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic leather and vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e such as MB-Tex, Sensatec, or Skai, where the glue binds the torn PVC fabric to the backing material underneath. For \u003cstrong\u003eaniline leather\u003c\/strong\u003e — open-pored, undyed full leather without a lacquer layer — maximum economy is required, because the glue immediately penetrates the pores and darkens the area. For \u003cstrong\u003esuede\u003c\/strong\u003e such as Alcantara, Nubuck, or Velour, the glue is applied exclusively to the back between the fiber and the backing fabric — if it gets on the raised pile, the area clumps into a hard crust that cannot be brushed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat doesn't work: hard plastics like ABS door panels, bare metal, glass, and exterior paints. The water-based dispersion finds no anchor on closed, inflexible surfaces. If an entire leather cover detaches extensively from the door panel, saddlers tend to use heat-activated contact adhesives — that's a different league and a different tool. And: with petrified leather that has been dehydrated and structurally destroyed by years of UV radiation, even this glue cannot work wonders. If the fiber breaks in your hand, a new saddler cover is the next sensible step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to water-based competitor glues such as Geist. Leather Glue, the chemical basis is almost identical. The system advantage with COLOURLOCK lies in workflow integration: leather glue, Liquid Leather filler, Leather Fresh dye, and leather sealant are coordinated as a closed chain — no mix-and-match risk between brands. If you want to complement the appropriate \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/innenraum\"\u003einterior\u003c\/a\u003e workflow all around, you will find the coordinated cleaners and care products for the entire seating package in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic car restorers, detailers, ambitious DIY repairers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set serves three clear target groups. If you don't fit into any of these three categories, you are better off with a complete service from a saddler or leather specialist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst target group: \u003cstrong\u003eclassic car and youngtimer restorers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anyone who owns a Porsche 911 Targa, a BMW E30, or a Mercedes W107 SL with the original leather interior does not want to go to a saddler for a new cover — the original patina is irrevocably lost and the car loses visible character. Smart repair with the COLOURLOCK set is the only sensible choice here. In the relevant detailing forums, the product is the undisputed gold standard with a grade of 1.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond target group: \u003cstrong\u003eused car dealers and semi-professional detailers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Torn entry bolsters on BMW M-Sport seats or Mercedes AMG seats are the typical customer fright before a test drive appointment. With the set, the damage can be repaired optically and structurally in two to three hours of work plus curing — the vehicle value increases many times over the set investment. Mini brushes and backing fabric are included directly, no additional accessory purchase is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird target group: \u003cstrong\u003eambitious convertible and leather enthusiasts with a craftsmanship claim.\u003c\/strong\u003e Those who invest the effort, disciplinedly carry out the preparation, and respect the 48 hours of final strength will end up with a repair that lasts two to three seasons. However, heavily stressed entry bolsters on the driver's seat remain inherent weak points — due to daily sliding in and turning, even a professionally glued seam may require touch-ups after twelve to 24 months. This is not a weakness of the set, but physics of shear stress. Those who prefer to tackle the damage preventively will find the suitable \u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/koch-chemie-leather-star-ls-lederpflege\"\u003eLeather Star leather care\u003c\/a\u003e in the range for regular re-greasing as crack prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe one professional trick that is not in any manufacturer's brochure: for extremely stressed seat bolsters, we combine the gluing with the thermo-fixing method. Insert the backing fabric as usual, brush on a thin layer of glue, let it flash off — and when pressing, use a slightly warmed metal block preheated to oven-low instead of just your bare hand. The thermal shock freezes the polymer in its final form and prevents slipping under tensile load. Especially with E30 sports seats or Audi RS bolsters under constant load, this is the gesture that lasts for years instead of tearing open again after one season. This is the difference between a quick repair and a smart repair result at a saddler's level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK","offers":[{"title":"set","offer_id":57637092458831,"sku":"D1-KCX-8807-S-01","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/8807-S-01_1.png?v=1778249510"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-complete-leather-repair-set","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Complete Leather Repair Set\"","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eKit riparazione pelle completo per crepe, fianchetti e volante in un'unica scatola\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCos'è il COLOURLOCK Complete Leather Repair Set?

Il cuore del sistema è la combinazione tra lo stucco flessibile in pelle liquida per le crepe e il colore all'acqua Leder Fresh, che asciugando a caldo si ancora fisicamente nelle fibre della pelle. Invece di far rivestire da capo tutta la seduta dal tappezziere, ricostruisci materia e colore strato dopo strato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUn rivestimento nuovo dal tappezziere costa svariate volte il set.\u003c\/strong\u003e Il kit completo sistema volante, fianchetti, pomello del cambio e zone consumate del rivestimento in un unico workflow.

Il colore Leder Fresh asciuga in un film pigmentato resistente all'abrasione, che con il phon a caldo si lega al poro della pelle. Risultato: la riparazione al tatto sembra pelle originale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSei passaggi studiati per lavorare insieme, dalla pulizia al nutrimento.\u003c\/strong\u003e Il detergente Mild apre il poro con delicatezza, lo sgrassatore toglie il sebo della pelle dalle superfici, la pelle liquida stucca a livello le crepe, il colore Leder Fresh dà la tinta a tamponi in strati sottili, il sigillante Leather Shield blocca i trasferimenti di colore dei jeans e l'attrito, e il Leder Protector con olio di cura di grado medicale nutre le pelli più vecchie contro la secchezza.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuello che vediamo ogni giorno da Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vediamo sempre lo stesso errore — la tinta appena data si sfoglia dopo poche settimane perché la sgrassatura è stata saltata o fatta di fretta. La regola è semplice: dopo il detergente Mild passa sempre lo sgrassatore e strofina sul top coat finché la superficie diventa visibilmente opaca e sotto il dito appiccica leggermente. Solo questa leggera apertura della superficie garantisce che il nuovo strato di colore tenga. Altrimenti il sebo della pelle o i residui di vecchi prodotti fanno da pellicola distaccante e bloccano l'adesione — anche su un volante che a vista sembra pulito. Il tempo che risparmi qui lo paghi doppio quando devi rifare tutto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDalla crepa al sedile restaurato a regola d'arte in sei passaggi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIl restauro con il set segue una sequenza fissa di sei passaggi, e su quest'ordine non si tratta. Se ne salti uno, rischi una tinta che si stacca, zone che si scrostano o una finitura a nuvole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 1: \u003cstrong\u003epulizia a schiuma con il detergente Mild.\u003c\/strong\u003e Riempi l'erogatore di schiuma, stendi la schiuma con la spazzola per pelle o la spugna e lavorala per 30–60 secondi da cucitura a cucitura. Togli tutto con un panno in viscosa appena umido. Mai i panni in microfibra abrasivi che usi sulla vernice — graffiano lo strato protettivo di top coat della pelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 2: \u003cstrong\u003epreparazione meccanica e sgrassatura.\u003c\/strong\u003e Strofina lo sgrassatore con un panno che non lascia pelucchi finché la superficie diventa opaca e appiccica sotto il dito. Sui volanti molto usati, con il sebo delle mani ormai penetrato, possono servire cinque-dieci minuti. Mai il pulitore freni come alternativa economica — impoverisce la pelle, che è un materiale naturale, e la rende fragile. Smussa con delicatezza i bordi ruvidi o le fibre sollevate con il pad abrasivo incluso e aspira la polvere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 3: \u003cstrong\u003eriparazione strutturale con la pelle liquida.\u003c\/strong\u003e Le crepe e le rotture più profonde si riempiono a livello con lo stucco colorato. Sui buchi passanti metti sotto il tessuto di riparazione incluso con la colla per pelle, così crei una base portante. Lascia asciugare a fondo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 4: \u003cstrong\u003etinta con il colore Leder Fresh.\u003c\/strong\u003e Agita bene il flacone, metti il colore sulla spugnetta applicatrice e stendilo a tamponi, picchiettando — mai a pennellate. Se lo stendi strisciando vedi subito gli aloni, perché il colore all'acqua fa presa in pochi secondi. Dopo ogni strato sottile asciuga con il phon ad aria calda a potenza moderata finché l'acqua è evaporata. Da due a quattro strati sottili bastano per la copertura piena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 5: \u003cstrong\u003esigillatura con il Leather Shield.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dopo almeno 24 ore di indurimento, meglio ancora il giorno dopo. Stendilo senza strofinare e con parsimonia usando un panno morbido — il sigillante crea uno strato protettivo di sacrificio che intercetta i trasferimenti di colore dei jeans e l'attrito di tutti i giorni prima che arrivino alla tinta fresca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePassaggio 6: \u003cstrong\u003enutrimento con il Leder Protector.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sulle pelli più vecchie e sui sedili delle cabrio lavora il prodotto con olio di cura di grado medicale — penetra nelle fibre, rallenta la secchezza e con filtri UV e antiossidanti integrati protegge i pigmenti freschi dallo sbiadimento. Il consiglio da pro dalla nostra \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/lederpflege\"\u003egamma cura pelle\u003c\/a\u003e: meglio uno strato sottile in più che uno solo bello spesso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAnilina, Alcantara e Bycast restano fuori\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChimicamente il set è tarato con precisione sulla pelle liscia pigmentata con uno strato di top coat ben definito.

L'Alcantara perde il suo tipico tatto scamosciato e diventa opaca. Terzo limite: \u003cstrong\u003ecrosta di pelle rivestita in plastica.\u003c\/strong\u003e Su questi strati sintetici il grasso per pelle non viene assorbito e resta in superficie come una pellicola appiccicosa. Quarto limite: \u003cstrong\u003emateriale consumato fino in fondo, senza una struttura di fibre portante.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sui fianchetti strappati in profondità e senza un'anima stabile, anche la combinazione di pelle liquida e tinta prima o poi si riapre — a quel punto la strada porta per forza dal tappezziere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNel test GTÜ il set di cura per pelle liscia Mild ha preso il voto 1,8 ed è stato l'unico dei dodici prodotti testati a ottenere il punteggio massimo nella categoria applicazione. Sui volanti di chi macina chilometri o sui fianchetti dei sedili sportivi la tinta comunque si consuma di nuovo dopo 12–24 mesi — è un limite fisico di un colore all'acqua senza indurente aggiuntivo, non un errore di applicazione. Un ostacolo onesto all'ordine: se la pelle rimasta è molto sbiadita dai raggi UV, il codice colore di fabbrica non corrisponde più esattamente alla tinta reale del sedile — in quel caso devi spedire un campione fisico della pelle per avere una miscela identica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePer detailer, tappezzieri e chi fa restauri sul serio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIl Repair Set è pensato per officine, detailer di auto usate, la cassetta degli attrezzi del tappezziere e i proprietari appassionati di auto d'epoca e youngtimer che ripetono riparazione e tinta in un workflow dai costi prevedibili. Per una cura puntuale nel weekend su una pelle quasi nuova è sovradimensionato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChi fa ripristini per lavoro fa i conti: un volante consumato abbassa in modo evidente il valore percepito di un'auto nell'annuncio. Il trattamento smart repair con il set richiede 60–90 minuti di lavoro effettivo più le pause di asciugatura. Chi possiede auto d'epoca e youngtimer apprezza il Leder Protector con olio di cura di grado medicale per conservare la patina — è privo di acidi e si usa anche nella conservazione museale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSe invece ti serve solo ravvivare il colore senza riparare la struttura, con il \u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-complete-colour-set\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK Complete Colour Set\u003c\/a\u003e spendi meno per auto, perché lì manca la pelle liquida ma ci sono sigillanti aggiuntivi. La logica è semplice: Repair Set per danni strutturali più tinta, Colour Set per smart repair di solo colore su più sedili.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUn'altra verità che i detailer navigati conoscono bene: un restauro riuscito è per l'80 per cento preparazione e per il 20 per cento tinta. Se fai bene la sgrassatura e costruisci la tinta in strati sottili, fissando ognuno con il phon, ottieni un risultato che regge anche alla luce del giorno. Se lavori di fretta o carichi troppo, al primo raggio di sole vedi gli aloni e ti tocca rimetterci mano per ore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIl trucco da addetti ai lavori che le istruzioni ufficiali non dicono così chiaramente: la pelle liquida è difficile da carteggiare senza appiattire la grana della pelle. I pro, invece della carta abrasiva, prendono la penna GLD con solvente — riapre appena la superficie della pelle liquida asciutta e crea passaggi invisibili verso la pelle vecchia. Sulle zone molto strutturate, al posto del pad abrasivo rigido usa anche carta fine grana 1000, così conservi la grana originale. Unito al phon tra ogni singolo strato di tinta, è questo che fa la differenza tra un restauro che dura sei mesi e uno che tiene due anni sul fianchetto lato ingresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK","offers":[{"title":"set","offer_id":57637092753743,"sku":"D1-KCX-8814-S-01-F034","price":208.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-colourlock-complete-leather-repair-set.png?v=1778657623"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.co\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sets-reparatursets.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
