Developed by Lederzentrum GmbH and made in Germany, the brand is built around going easy on the material, staying simple to use and delivering professional, manufacturer-grade results — for leather in the car, at home or in a pro setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK was founded in 1995 by the German Lederzentrum and has been part of the Koch-Chemie group since 2023. Every product is developed, tested and made in Germany. The focus is on maximum effect with the lightest possible touch on the material — which means the leather stays natural, supple and long-lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK covers the whole job, from gentle cleaning through conditioning to a colour refresh or repair. The range includes the leather cleaner (Mild and Strong), the leather protector, the leather sealant and liquid leather, plus the repair-and-colour sets sold as ‘Leder Fresh’. Everything is built to be easy to work with, whether you’re a professional detailer or a keen enthusiast doing it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eOne thing that really sets the brand apart is its research into protecting the material: COLOURLOCK blends skin-friendly surfactants, quality waxes and UV stabilisers that don’t weigh the leather down but keep its natural structure intact. That knocks back the usual damage — drying out, fading or fine cracking — by a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eDay-to-day the job usually runs in three steps. First you clean the leather properly — with the mild or the strong cleaner, depending on how dirty it is. Then comes the conditioning with the leather protector or the sealant, which brings back suppleness, UV protection and a nice feel under the hand. On older or heavily used surfaces, products like liquid leather or Leder Fresh come in to make colour breaks and scratches disappear. The result is always the same: clean leather with a natural matte finish, an authentic grip and lasting protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eSince joining Koch-Chemie GmbH, COLOURLOCK keeps pushing its line forward — with a focus on sustainable formulas, wider uses and sets dialled in for detailers. That keeps COLOURLOCK not just the benchmark in leather care, but increasingly a system brand for looking after the whole interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK is for anyone who doesn’t just want to ‘clean’ leather but genuinely keep it — whether it’s in a luxury car, a classic or high-end furniture at home. The products are well thought through, safe to use and give visible results with no risk to the colour or the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-allround-textile-sealant-st0-01-premium-textilversiegelung","title":"Allround Textile Sealant \"St0.01\" Premium Fabric Sealant","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e× COLOURLOCK\u003c\/span\u003e Allround Textile Sealant \"St0.01\" — Premium Fabric Sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeet the hard-working \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK Allround Textile Sealant \"St0.01\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, the go-to answer for protecting and looking after the fabrics in your car.

Modern car leather carries a PU top coat that shrugs off some dirt, but over time it still holds grease and light rub-off particles. The mild formula breaks those deposits up without stressing the top coat or changing how it breathes. Koch-Chemie says Mild is the one to reach for when you want to keep the natural matte finish and the grip — a real edge over cleaners that go too hard and, used often, can leave leather dry and dull.

For high-touch spots like steering wheels or seat bolsters, a second pass makes sense if needed. As a routine, Mild fits in nicely every one to four weeks, depending on use.

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":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":56320157319503,"sku":"D1-KCX-36-10L-01","price":82.99,"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.

Day-to-day that means your leather still behaves naturally, stays soft, but shows far less friction-shine and micro-wear. On modern automotive leathers with a PU top coat especially, daily getting in and out, clothing edges, rivets or belt ends act like sandpaper — and the polymer film works here as a sacrificial protective layer. Per the maker's data, the formula is built so it neither builds up nor cracks, but wears down evenly and gets topped up when needed. You sidestep the classic mistakes like heavy \"rubbing in\": Leather Shield works best when you lay it down thin, even and fully flashed off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather prep \u0026amp; the best way to apply it when detailing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get maximum performance from \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Shield\u003c\/strong\u003e, solid prep is the key. Clean new or as-new leather first with a mild leather cleaner to pull off production residue, light body oils and micro-grime. You apply the product with a soft applicator in straight, overlapping passes until you get an even film. After a short flash-off, the leather dries to a silky matte; you don't need the usual buffing afterwards because the product leaves no wax-based residue. In detail areas especially — steering wheel, console leather, side bolsters — precise work pays off. Paired with regular mild cleaning, the protection holds steady. For high-mileage cars like company vehicles or daily drivers, a quarterly top-up makes sense, since these areas take more mechanical stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, durability \u0026amp; typical use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter you apply \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Shield\u003c\/strong\u003e, the leather's look stays factory-matte and free of the greasy shine that shows up fast on dark interiors. Durability naturally depends on use and material, since the product wears down mechanically as a protective layer. In everyday cars the benefits show strongest: even wear, less creasing and shine that turns up much later on side bolsters and steering wheels. For lease cars Leather Shield is almost a must, because it brakes visible ageing and keeps the interior feel solid right up to handover.

That matters most on open-pore or delicate leather, where the dyes don't sit as tight as they do in modern pigmented automotive hides. The binding matrix in the fixative locks those particles down so they don't lift the moment they meet water or a cleaner. Per Koch-Chemie, the formula guards above all against the wash-out you get with leather clothing, motorcycle gear or washable interior parts.

You use the fixative either as a pre-treatment ahead of a leather wash or as a stand-alone fix. Lay it down evenly across the surface, let it sit briefly, then work it in gently so the loose dyes get bound. After that comes the wash, or a gentle next step, depending on the job. The key is not to overdose – a thin, even film is plenty. On heavily bleeding leather it's worth a quick re-check on colour stability afterwards.

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.

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.
