Die Reinigungslinie des Lederspezialisten im Koch-Chemie-Verbund: Lederreiniger in zwei Stärken, ein Reiniger für Anilin und Nubuk, ein Konzentrat für Polster und Alcantara, Schuhreiniger, Lederwaschmittel und Spezialentferner gegen Abfärbung, Fett und Kleber — der erste Schritt jeder Lederaufbereitung.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDie Reinigung von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e ist der Anfang jeder Lederaufbereitung — der Schritt, der über alles Weitere entscheidet, von der Pflege bis zur Neufärbung. COLOURLOCK entstand 1995 beim Lederzentrum in Rosdorf bei Göttingen und gehört seit 2023 zu Koch-Chemie aus Unna. Die Reinigungslinie trennt nach Aufgabe: milde und starke Lederreiniger für pigmentiertes Glattleder, ein eigener Reiniger für offenporiges Anilin und Nubuk, ein Konzentrat für Polster und Alcantara, Waschmittel für Lederbekleidung und Spezialentferner für die Fälle, an denen normale Reiniger scheitern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZwei Reinigungsstärken statt eines Kompromisses.\u003c\/strong\u003e COLOURLOCK \"Leather Cleaner\" gibt es als (Mild) für die regelmäßige Runde und als (Strong) für die Grundreinigung lange ungepflegter Flächen. Beide lösen sogar Jeansabfärbung — der starke arbeitet schneller, der milde schont die Farbschicht bei jeder Wiederholung.

Die Rezeptur ist pH-neutral, arbeitet also im Bereich, den die Lederoberfläche selbst mitbringt. Heißt für dich: ein Produkt für fast den ganzen Innenraum, ohne dass du am Leder umdenken musst.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpezialentferner aus der Reparaturpraxis.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wo Reinigen endet, übernimmt Chemie mit klarer Aufgabe: ein Löser für eingezogene Verfärbungen, eine Paste, die Fett aus dem Leder herauszieht, statt es zu verteilen, ein Entferner für Sekundenkleber.

Wer den Reiniger direkt auf den Sitz gibt und schrubbt, treibt Feuchtigkeit in Nähte und Polsterkerne — auf offenporigem Leder bleiben dunkle Wasserränder, an der Naht quillt der Faden. Besser: Reiniger auf Schwamm oder weiche Bürste geben, mit dem Schaum arbeiten, den gelösten Schmutz mit einem nur handfeuchten Mikrofasertuch abnehmen und die Fläche trocknen lassen, bevor Pflege oder Versiegelung folgt. Und lass Gallseife und Spülmittel im Haushalt: Leder liegt von der Gerbung her im leicht sauren Bereich um pH 5, beide Hausmittel arbeiten alkalisch — sie entziehen dem Leder die Fettung und hinterlassen es härter als vorher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReinigen ist bei COLOURLOCK der erste Reparaturschritt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBevor ein Aufbereiter eine durchgescheuerte Sitzwange nachfärbt, reinigt und entfettet er sie — sonst hält keine Farbe. Aus genau dieser Praxis kommt diese Kategorie: COLOURLOCK entstand 1995 als Marke des Lederzentrums in Rosdorf bei Göttingen, das Sattler, Aufbereiter und Möbelrestauratoren mit Reparaturfarben und Leder-Chemie beliefert. Die Reiniger der Linie sind keine Zugabe zum Sortiment, sie sind dessen Fundament: Jede Reparatur, jede Färbung, jede Versiegelung beginnt mit ihnen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeit 2023 gehört das Lederzentrum zu Koch-Chemie aus Unna, und an einer Stelle zeigt diese Übernahme direkt in die Reinigungslinie hinein: COLOURLOCK \"Pol Star\" ist der klassische Innenraumreiniger aus dem Koch-Chemie-Programm, der mit unveränderter Rezeptur unter das neue Label gewandert ist. Die Kategorie bündelt damit beide Kompetenzen — die Leder-Erfahrung aus drei Jahrzehnten Reparaturpraxis und die Reinigungschemie eines Herstellers, dessen Produkte in Aufbereitungsbetrieben in ganz DACH im Regal stehen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFür dich als Anwender hat diese Herkunft eine praktische Folge: Die Reiniger sind darauf ausgelegt, die Farbschicht des Leders zu erhalten, nicht nur Schmutz zu entfernen. Bei uns landen immer wieder Anfragen, die mit einer harmlosen Reinigungsfrage beginnen und mit einem Reparaturthema enden — ausgeblichene Stellen, klebrige Zurichtung, abgeriebene Farbe. Fast immer war vorher jahrelang das falsche Mittel im Einsatz. Die COLOURLOCK-Logik setzt früher an: mit Chemie, die das Leder so behandelt, wie es ein Reparaturprofi vor der Arbeit tun würde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVom Lenkrad bis zur Lederjacke reicht die Reinigungslinie\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Kern sind die Lederreiniger für den Auto-Innenraum: COLOURLOCK \"Leather Cleaner\" (Mild) für die regelmäßige Runde auf pigmentiertem Glattleder, COLOURLOCK \"Leather Cleaner\" (Strong) für stark verschmutzte oder speckige Flächen und COLOURLOCK \"Aniline \u0026amp; Nubuck Cleaner\" für alle offenporigen Leder, die Flüssigkeiten aufsaugen statt abperlen lassen. Dazu kommt das Konzentrat COLOURLOCK \"Pol Star\", das Polsterstoffe, Alcantara und Glattleder mit einer Mischung abdeckt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUngewöhnlich breit wird die Linie jenseits des Autositzes. COLOURLOCK \"Shoe Cleaner\" und COLOURLOCK \"Sneaker Cleaner\" holen Schmutz von Glattleder-Stiefeln und Sportschuhen. Für Lederbekleidung und Lammfell gibt es ein echtes Waschmaschinen-Duo: COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fixative\" stabilisiert vor der Wäsche die Farbstoffe im Leder, damit nichts ausblutet, dann wäscht COLOURLOCK \"Leather \u0026amp; Fur Wash Concentrate\" im Schonprogramm, ohne die Fettung auszuspülen. Und COLOURLOCK \"Fresh Up\" beseitigt Gerüche, indem er Geruchsmoleküle bindet, statt sie mit Parfüm zu überdecken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJedes dieser Aufgabenfelder führt bei uns als eigene Unterseite mit vertiefter Beratung:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederreiniger\"\u003eLederreiniger von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — Mild und Strong für pigmentiertes Glattleder plus der schonende Reiniger für Anilin und Nubuk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-schuhreiniger\"\u003eSchuh- \u0026amp; Sneakerreiniger von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — Reinigung für Glattleder-Schuhe, Stiefel und empfindliche Sneaker-Materialmixe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-polsterreiniger\"\u003ePolster-, Textil- \u0026amp; Alcantara-Reiniger von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — das pH-neutrale Konzentrat für Stoffsitze, Alcantara und pigmentierte Glattleder in einem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederwaschmittel\"\u003eLederwaschmittel \u0026amp; Farbfixierer von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — das Duo für waschbare Lederbekleidung und Lammfell: erst Farbe fixieren, dann waschen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-spezialentferner\"\u003eFlecken- \u0026amp; Spezialentferner von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — gezielte Chemie gegen Jeansabfärbung, eingezogenes Fett, Wachsreste und Sekundenkleber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-geruchsneutralisierer\"\u003eGeruchsneutralisierer von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — bindet Rauch-, Tier- und Muffgerüche in Leder und Textil, statt sie zu übertünchen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDein Leder wählt zwischen Mild, Strong und Anilin-Reiniger\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie Arbeit machen in allen drei Lederreinigern Tenside — waschaktive Moleküle mit einem wasserliebenden und einem fettliebenden Ende, die Schmutzpartikel umschließen und in den Schaum heben. Heißt für dich: Der Reiniger löst, das Tuch transportiert ab, und du musst nicht rubbeln. Der Unterschied zwischen Mild und Strong liegt in der Abstimmung dieses Systems: Der milde bleibt nah am leicht sauren pH-Fenster, in dem Leder von Natur aus stabil ist, der starke arbeitet mit mehr Löse-Kraft — und gehört deshalb in die Ausnahme, nicht in die Routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie Wahl folgt einer einfachen Wenn-dann-Logik. Wenn du dein Leder regelmäßig sauber hältst, reicht der milde Reiniger — er nimmt Alltagsschmutz und leichte Fette, ohne die Zurichtung bei jeder Anwendung zu fordern. Wenn eine Fläche jahrelang nichts gesehen hat, speckig glänzt oder ein Vorbesitzer sie mit Pflegemittel-Schichten zugedeckt hat, übernimmt der starke: Er löst auch eingesessene Fett- und Schmutzfilme, wie sie an Lenkrad, Schaltknauf und Sitzwange entstehen, wo Hautfett, Handcreme und Schweiß täglich einarbeiten. Jeansabfärbung auf hellem Leder lösen beide — der starke schneller, der milde mit mehr Geduld.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffenporiges Leder spielt nach eigenen Regeln. Anilin, Nubuk und Wildleder haben keine schützende Farbschicht und saugen Flüssigkeit kapillar ein wie Löschpapier — ein normaler Lederreiniger hinterlässt dort schnell dunkle Ränder. Der COLOURLOCK \"Aniline \u0026amp; Nubuck Cleaner\" ist deshalb bewusst zurückhaltend formuliert und wird sparsam, Bahn für Bahn, mit wenig Feuchtigkeit gearbeitet. Ob dein Leder dazugehört, klärt der Wassertropfen-Test an verdeckter Stelle: Zieht der Tropfen ein und dunkelt ab, gehört die Fläche in diese Kategorie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBleibt die Frage, wann das Konzentrat die bessere Wahl ist. COLOURLOCK \"Pol Star\" spielt seine Stärke in gemischten Innenräumen aus — Stoffsitze, Alcantara-Himmel, Leder-Lenkrad — und überall dort, wo regelmäßig größere Flächen gereinigt werden: Die Dosierung von 1:5 für Grundreinigung bis 1:20 für die leichte Runde macht ihn zum wirtschaftlichsten Produkt der Kategorie. Seine Grenze benennt der Hersteller selbst: Für Anilin und offenporige Rauleder ist er nicht geeignet — dort bleibt der Spezialist zuständig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLederreinigung braucht wenig Wasser und viel Geduld\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Ablauf ist bei allen Glattleder-Produkten gleich: Fläche absaugen, Reiniger auf einen Schwamm oder eine weiche Lederbürste geben, den Schaum von Naht zu Naht arbeiten — so trocknet die Fläche ohne sichtbare Übergänge —, gelösten Schmutz mit einem handfeuchten Mikrofasertuch abnehmen, vollständig trocknen lassen, am besten über Nacht. Beim ersten Mal brauchst du für eine komplette Sitzgarnitur gut eine halbe Stunde, die Routine-Runde danach ist deutlich schneller. Und erschrick nicht, wenn das erste Tuch braun wird: Auf gebrauchtem Leder ist das der Normalfall und kein Zeichen für einen Schaden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Schaum ist dabei kein Show-Effekt, sondern der Grund, warum die Methode funktioniert: Er trägt das Tensid mit einem Minimum an Wasser auf und bleibt auch an der senkrechten Sitzwange stehen, wo Flüssigkeit sofort abliefe. Bei perforierten Sitzen ist das entscheidend — was durch die Lochung in den Sitzschaum sickert, kommt beim Trocknen als brauner Rand zurück.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirekt nach der Reinigung ist das Leder in seinem verletzlichsten Zustand: sauber, aber auch entfettet und ungeschützt. Genau deshalb gehören die nächsten Schritte fest zum Ablauf. Die \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-pflege\"\u003ePflege von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e gibt dem Leder die Fette und den UV-Schutz zurück, die die Reinigung mitgenommen hat. Und wer helle Sitze fährt, nutzt den frisch gereinigten Zustand für die \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung\"\u003eVersiegelung \u0026amp; Imprägnierung von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e — auf sauberem Leder haftet der Abfärbeschutz am besten, und jede künftige Reinigungsrunde wird leichter, weil Schmutz und Jeansfarbstoff gar nicht erst in die Oberfläche einziehen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFür Gerüche gilt dieselbe Reihenfolge: erst die Quelle reinigen, dann neutralisieren. COLOURLOCK \"Fresh Up\" bindet Geruchsmoleküle chemisch, statt sie zu überdecken — ein Duftbaum sättigt nur deine Nase, der Neutralisierer kapselt die Moleküle selbst. Das funktioniert auf Leder, Textil und Teppich, hat aber eine ehrliche Grenze: Was tief in den Sitzschaum gesickert ist, etwa umgekippte Milch, liefert von unten immer neue Geruchsstoffe nach — dort muss erst der Reiniger oder die Extraktion ran, bevor der Neutralisierer den Rest übernimmt. In unserer Praxis ist die Kombination aus Polsterreinigung und zwei Fresh-Up-Durchgängen der Weg, der auch hartnäckige Tier- und Raucherautos wieder neutral bekommt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBei Lederbekleidung und Lammfell verlagert sich die Reinigung in die Waschmaschine — mit einer Reihenfolge, die über das Ergebnis entscheidet: erst COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fixative\" auftragen, damit die Farbstoffe beim Waschen nicht ausbluten, dann mit COLOURLOCK \"Leather \u0026amp; Fur Wash Concentrate\" im Schonprogramm waschen, liegend und fern von Heizung trocknen. Das Konzentrat stabilisiert die Fettung, die ein normales Waschmittel ausspülen würde — der Grund, warum gewaschene Lederjacken sonst hart und stumpf aus der Trommel kommen. Wichtig bleibt: Das funktioniert nur bei Teilen, die als waschbar deklariert sind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpezialentferner übernehmen, wo der Reiniger aussteigt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManche Verschmutzung ist keine Verschmutzung mehr, sondern schon Teil der Oberfläche. Jeansfarbstoff, der monatelang einziehen durfte, sitzt in der Zurichtung — dort erreicht ihn kein Tensid. Für diese Fälle gibt es COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent\": Er löst die oberste Schicht kontrolliert an und nimmt Farbübertragungen und alte Beschichtungsreste mit. Das ist bewusst ein Eingriff in die Farbschicht und gehört ans Ende der Eskalation, nicht an den Anfang — nach starken Verfärbungen kann eine Farbauffrischung nötig werden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFett folgt einer eigenen Logik: Was tief im Leder sitzt, lässt sich nicht abwischen, nur herausziehen. COLOURLOCK \"Grease Absorber Paste\" arbeitet deshalb als Absorber — aufgetragen auf dunkle Fettzonen an Kopfstützen und Armlehnen, saugt die Paste beim Trocknen die Fette aus der Faser und hellt die Stelle sichtbar auf. COLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover\" nimmt Wachs- und Pflegemittel-Altschichten, an denen milde Reiniger scheitern, und die 20-ml-Flasche COLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\" rettet den klassischen Bastel-Unfall: Sie macht Sekundenkleber-Reste weich, bis sie sich vom Leder abheben lassen, statt beim Abkratzen die Farbe mitzunehmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEin Sonderfall mit eigener Rolle ist COLOURLOCK \"Degreaser\". Der lösemittelfreie Entfetter entfernt Hautfette und Produktreste so gründlich, dass Reparaturfarben und Versiegelungen wieder haften — er ist der Pflichtschritt vor jeder Neufärbung. Wenn dein Leder also nicht nur schmutzig, sondern abgerieben oder ausgeblichen ist, beginnt der Weg hier und führt weiter zu \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben\"\u003eFärben \u0026amp; Finish von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e: entfetten, anlösen, nachfärben — die Reihenfolge, mit der auch der Profi arbeitet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZur Ehrlichkeit gehört, die Reihenfolge auch als Warnung zu lesen. Aus unserer Praxis ein Negativ-Beispiel: eine helle Anilin-Armlehne, großflächig mit einem scharfen Universal-Innenraumschaum bearbeitet — der Schmutz war weg, zurück blieben dunkle Wasserränder und eine aufgeraute, fleckige Oberfläche, die am Ende nur die Neufärbung rettete. Derselbe Mechanismus steckt im Schmutzradierer-Trick aus dem Haushaltsregal: Melaminschwämme arbeiten wie feinstes Schleifpapier und tragen die schützende Farbschicht ab — die Stelle wirkt im ersten Moment sauber und matt, bleicht danach aber schutzlos aus. Deshalb gilt für jeden Entferner dieser Kategorie: zuerst an verdeckter Stelle testen, klein anfangen, eskalieren nur wenn nötig. Die Spezialchemie ist stark genug, um Fehler zu machen — genau darum steht sie hinter dem Lederreiniger, nicht vor ihm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDein Einstieg beginnt fast immer beim milden Reiniger\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Entscheidungsbaum ist kurz. Pigmentiertes Glattleder in normalem Zustand: COLOURLOCK \"Leather Cleaner\" (Mild), zwei- bis viermal im Jahr, fertig. Speckige, lange vernachlässigte Flächen oder ein frisch gekaufter Gebrauchtwagen: einmal gründlich mit dem starken Reiniger, danach zurück zur milden Routine. Offenporiges Anilin, Nubuk oder Wildleder: ausschließlich der Anilin-Reiniger. Ein Innenraum aus Stoff, Alcantara und Leder gemischt: das Pol-Star-Konzentrat als Basis, der Lederreiniger für die belasteten Zonen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie Sonderfälle haben ihre eigenen Antworten: Jeansabfärbung und Farbtransfer eskalieren vom Lederreiniger zum Verfärbungs-Löser, dunkle Fettzonen zur Absorber-Paste, Gerüche zum Neutralisierer, waschbare Lederbekleidung zum Waschmittel-Duo. Ehrlich eingeordnet: Wenn dein Auto gar kein Leder trägt, tut es für die Stoffsitze auch ein klassischer Polsterreiniger anderer Marken — die COLOURLOCK-Linie spielt ihre Stärke aus, sobald Leder im Spiel ist und die Reinigung zur Vorstufe von Pflege, Schutz oder Reparatur wird. Das komplette Sortiment der Marke, von der Reinigung über Pflege und Versiegelung bis zu Färbung und Reparatur, findest du gebündelt unter \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock\"\u003eAlles von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnd der Gedanke, der diese Kategorie trägt: Fast jeder Lederschaden, der in der Aufbereitung landet, hat als Reinigungsthema angefangen — Hautfett, das die Zurichtung aufweicht, Farbstoff, der einziehen durfte, Schmutz, der wie Schleifpapier in der Sitzfalte arbeitet. Ein frischer Fettfleck an der Kopfstütze ist ein Reinigungsfall von wenigen Minuten; derselbe Fleck, zwei Jahre eingezogen, heißt Entfetten, Anlösen, Nachfärben. Zwischen beiden liegt nichts als der Zeitpunkt, an dem du anfängst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-cleaner-mild-lederreiniger","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Leather Cleaner\" (Mild) — cleaner for normally soiled pigmented smooth leather","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner (Mild) — a gentle cleaner for regular leather care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner Mild do? — It lifts everyday grime, light grease and wear marks off pigmented smooth leather extra gently, keeping the natural matte surface intact without drying it out.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner (Mild)\u003c\/strong\u003e is your first pick when you want to clean pigmented smooth leather regularly and keep the material happy.

Day-to-day you keep running into spots where a normal leather cleaner just taps out: wax residue, greasy film from care products or old sealing layers that a mild cleaner barely touches. That's exactly where this stain and wax remover comes in. Its formula lifts that kind of residue off the surface in a controlled way, without digging needlessly deep into the material. What you get is a clean, even surface that's ready again for care, protection or a full leather refurb. In detailing that's a make-or-break step, because only a residue-free surface gives you an even finish and results that last. On car seats, door cards or leather steering wheels you see fast how much that clean starting point matters. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliably strips wax and care-film residue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time leather picks up a build-up from care products, skin oils and wax formulas.

In the cabin especially you get all sorts of residue over time: skin oils off hands, wax from care products, polish leftovers or dirt off clothing. That residue often builds a thin film on the surface that a normal leather cleaner only half removes. This is where the COLOURLOCK Stain Remover earns its keep. The formula is built to lift that residue on purpose, without soaking the leather or messing with its structure. In the process that means: first you clean the surface with a suitable leather cleaner, then the stain and wax remover goes on to lift whatever's left. What you end up with is a clean, evenly prepped surface — exactly what you want before you lay on leather care, a protective seal or even a colour refresh. Day-to-day you see fast that these specialist steps are the difference between a quick clean and a genuinely professional leather refurb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResidue-free prep before leather care, sealing and colour refresh\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidue-free surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e are decisive in detailing when you're after even results and care that lasts. Leftovers from old care layers can stop new products grabbing properly or spreading evenly. That's exactly why a stain and wax remover like the COLOURLOCK Stain Remover often goes in as an in-between step in the care process. In use you put the cleaner onto a clean microfibre cloth and work it gently over the spot. The formula lifts waxes, greasy films or old care components that can build up over months or years. On leather steering wheels, hard-worked seat bolsters or armrests this step really pays off, because that's where the most residue collects. After cleaning the surface looks visibly more even and feels noticeably more neutral — a sign the fouling films are gone. Only then do quality leather creams, sealants or protectants show what they can really do. That's exactly why this step is standard prep in a lot of professional detailing workflows before the actual care treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting stains out of leather without needlessly stressing the surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting stains out of leather\u003c\/strong\u003e always means finding the right balance between cleaning power and looking after the material. Leather is a combination of the natural hide structure and a protective pigment or top-coat layer. That top coat is what keeps the leather tough in daily use, and at the same time you don't want to needlessly attack it while cleaning. So a specialist stain and wax remover works deliberately at the surface and lifts residue without loading the material. That's what makes the COLOURLOCK Stain Remover a genuinely useful tool in professional detailing. Instead of an aggressive strip-down you work with precision — right where stains, wax residue or greasy films sit. On high-end leather interiors, classic cars or well-kept daily drivers that controlled approach pays off. The leather stays visually even, the surface looks clean and prepped, and the care products that follow can do their best work. Add it all up and this step gets you exactly the result professional detailing is chasing: a clean, well-kept leather surface with a natural look and a proper 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":10.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":56320157319503,"sku":"D1-KCX-36-10L-01","price":85.89,"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\" Odour Neutraliser with Fresh Scent","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK Fresh Up — Odour Neutraliser 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 odour neutraliser clears stubborn smells from leather, textiles and interior surfaces, locks odour molecules down for good and leaves a pleasantly 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 odour neutraliser you want for the car, furniture, shoes and anywhere leather or fabric soaks up smells.

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. Two leather types it doesn't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePol Star is approved for pigmented, top-coated smooth leather — that's most modern automotive leather from year 2000 onwards. 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. For heavily soiled pigmented leather with embedded skin oil, go to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-cleaner-strong-lederreiniger\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner Strong\u003c\/a\u003e. If you're cleaning all materials in the interior regularly, grab Pol Star. If you're specifically reconditioning soiled leather, grab the specialist.\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_ergebnis.png?v=1776185960\" alt=\"Clean Alcantara seat after COLOURLOCK Pol Star clean with iK spray bottle in background\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor detailers, shops and weekend enthusiasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePol Star fits where interior gets cleaned regularly and a concentrate makes more sense than ready-to-use sprays. Detailing shops run the 1-litre bottle and decant into their own sprayers; private users start with the 100 ml or 250 ml size for one to two cars a year. 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. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-spruehflasche-set\"\u003eKoch-Chemie sprayer and bottle set\u003c\/a\u003e is built for it — the Canyon CHS-3AN throws an even mist that supports fine foam build-up instead of flooding the surface. Once you're set up, a full interior clean runs 40 to 60 ml of concentrate — that's the practical gap between concentrate and ready-mix.
