Complete packs for refreshing colour: cleaner, water-based tint, sealant and application tools in one matched box.

From a size for a single worn spot to a litre for whole interiors.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour kits by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e are complete packs for refreshing the colour of leather and fabric roofs. They bundle cleaner, tint, sealant and tools into one box instead of leaving you to hunt down the right individual bottles yourself. At the core is the water-based polyurethane tint, which settles into the leather surface as a flexible colour film rather than sitting on top like paint. The brand comes from leather restoration, as Lederzentrum since 1995, and is now part of Koch-Chemie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe whole chain comes in one box.\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour alone won't last. Without cleaning, degreasing and a final sealant, even the best tint wears off at the grip point within a few weeks. The kits supply these steps in the right order, including sponge and gloves. How you'll notice: you're not reordering anything while the first coat is already drying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-based tint, not a second coat of paint.\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather Fresh is a polyurethane dispersion, i.e. flexible plastic particles floating in water. Under warm air from a hairdryer, the water evaporates, the particles fuse and settle into the leather grain as a wafer-thin second skin. What that means for you: no hardener, no pot life, no solvent fumes in the cabin, and the seat still feels like leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe factory shade comes from the colour database.\u003c\/strong\u003e F034 Black matches the typical blacks of the German premium brands with no mixing. COLOURLOCK mixes other shades from the neutral base, for many models even by the stored factory code. In everyday terms: from a metre away, the recoloured seat bolster no longer stands out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The step where most dye jobs fail is degreasing. We regularly get enquiries from customers whose steering wheel is bare again at exactly the grip point after four to six weeks. It was cleaned, not degreased. Used smooth leather carries a film of skin oils, old care milks and silicones that a mild leather cleaner won't shift. So after cleaning, keep going with cleaning spirit or degreaser until the surface turns visibly dull and feels slightly tacky under your finger. The check takes ten seconds: press on a strip of tape and rip it off. If colour stays on the strip, that spot needs an adhesion promoter first, not tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen recolouring leather, it's rarely the colour that fails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you recolour a worn seat bolster, you almost never lose the result because of the tint; you lose it because of a step you skipped before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCOLOURLOCK has seen this from the other side since 1995. The brand was born at Lederzentrum, a specialist in leather repair and leather dyes, and has supplied upholsterers and detailers ever since who fill cracks, re-emboss grain and rebuild colour. If you do that work every day, you know the tin of colour is the least critical part. The critical parts are cleaning, degreasing, film thickness and the sealant afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare and colour are two different jobs, even though both types of kit sit side by side in the range. A care kit keeps the existing top coat supple and colourfast. A colour kit comes in when that layer has already worn through in one spot. How you'll tell: as long as the area just looks dull, care is enough. As soon as the leather at the grip point shows through lighter than next to it, colour is due.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat order is hard-wired into the colour kits. A kit contains everything that lies between the faded current state and the fresh colour: a matched cleaner, the water-based tint, the application sponge, gloves and, depending on size, the sealant. You no longer decide which cleaner goes with the colour, only how big the damage is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day at Detailing1, that's the most common reason customers reach for a kit after a first failed attempt. The first go was with a colour from the DIY store and an all-purpose cleaner off the shelf, and the result lasted one summer. Not because the colour was bad, but because nobody had planned the degreasing between cleaner and colour. You can see where the kits sit in the overall range one level up under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sets\"\u003eBack to Sets from COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather Fresh colours leather, Soft Top Fresh colours roofs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour kits split into two families, and the dividing line isn't price but two completely different surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sets-leather-fresh\"\u003eLeather Fresh kits by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e work on pigmented smooth leather, i.e. leather with a factory polyurethane-based top coat. The tint takes there because it's chemically the same as the finish the factory applied: a flexible polymer film that bonds with the existing layer. Steering wheel, entry bolster, side bolster and gear knob are the classic areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sets-faerbe-sets\"\u003eComplete dye kits by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e go a step further and cover the whole build-up. The COLOURLOCK \"Cabrio Colour Set\" is the special case among them: four matched components for fabric roofs, namely Pol Star as a deep cleaner, the pigmented Soft Top Fresh, Crosslinker CD as the crosslinker and the water-based Allround Textile Sealant to finish. Available in Graubraun Dunkel (Grey Brown Dark), Grünschwarz (Green Black), Schwarz (Black), Schwarzblau (Black Blue) and Anthrazit (Anthracite).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat both families include is the tools. Application sponges, gloves and, depending on size, a brush or cloth come in the box, because application quality depends on the tool: a coarse sponge pulls air bubbles into the fresh tint, and too soft a cloth lifts the layer off again when you go back over it. With the roof, colour and crosslinker also have to be mixed in a fixed ratio, and the kit sets that dose for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy two families and not one all-purpose product? Leather has a closed top coat; roof fabric is an open weave. On leather, the colour should sit on top and fuse with the finish; in fabric, it has to wrap around every single fibre and anchor there. That's why the roof kit includes a crosslinker that chemically locks the pigments into the fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather tint, on the other hand, needs no hardener at all. Mix the two routes up, and you'll either get a stiff roof fabric or a colour that washes out again in the first downpour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe damage sets the kit size, not the car\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sizes differ in the amount of tint, not in the formula. So what matters is the area that actually needs colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a single worn spot, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-fresh-set-xs\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh Set XS\"\u003c\/a\u003e is enough: 100 ml of tint in F034 Black, a fine-pored application sponge, two nitrile gloves. The material covers a complete steering wheel or two heavily worn seat bolsters on the same car. That's the typical scope of a smart repair on your own car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've got several cars or a complete interior ahead of you, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-fresh-set-xl\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh Set XL\"\u003c\/a\u003e works out more economical. One litre of tint is enough for six to ten interiors in the same colour, plus cleaning and application sponges and gloves. The real advantage for commercial use is the batch: one container gives you the same shade for weeks, with no mixing tolerance between two bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-fresh-c-p-set\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh C \u0026amp; P Set\"\u003c\/a\u003e takes a third route and packs the whole process into one box: Mild leather cleaner for pre-cleaning, the Leather Fresh tint and the Leather Protector with vitamin E and UV filter to finish. It comes as Neutral for tinting to your own shade and as Black for the standard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe often see customers order by car size rather than by damaged area, and then end up with a litre of tint on the shelf for a single steering wheel. Roughly measure beforehand how many palm-sized areas really need colour. In most interiors it's two or three, not the whole seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThin coats and heat make the colour last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tint is dabbed on, not brushed. Brushing leaves streaks, because the sponge lifts the still-wet layer again and spreads it unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe process on leather is always the same: clean, degrease until dull, gently level raised fibres on the bolster with a sanding pad, then dab on three to five wafer-thin coats from seam to seam. Each coat gets 60 to 90 seconds of warm air before the next one goes on. That heat isn't a drying accelerator; it's the actual crosslinking step: only once the water has gone do the polymer particles fuse into a closed film. In plain terms: cut the hairdryer breaks short and you build several loose coats on top of each other instead of one solid one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen comes the test of patience. The fresh colour needs around 24 hours to off-gas before the sealant can go on. Only then does a product from \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-lederversiegelung\"\u003eLeather sealant by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e go over it to shield the colour against denim abrasion and sun. Without that final step, the tint is finished but unprotected, and the grip point starts all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first time, allow more time than any instructions say. A steering wheel takes 60 to 90 minutes with cleaning, degreasing, three coats and the hairdryer breaks; by the third wheel it's a good half of that. The difference isn't skill; it's that at the start you check after every step whether the result is right. That's exactly what you should do, and the extra time comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the roof, the process works differently and takes planning. After deep cleaning, the foam test has to come up clean: rub the flat of your hand hard over the rinsed, wet fabric. If white foam appears, there's still surfactant in the weave, and later that acts as a release agent under the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, clear coat, glass and polycarbonate are masked off completely, and colour and crosslinker are mixed in two batches, because the pot life runs out after two to four hours. It cures for 24 hours at 10 to 40 degrees with no rain. So a dry weekend is the real requirement, not the tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColour kits colour the surface; they don't fill cracks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tint lays a wafer-thin layer over the existing surface. Whatever is missing underneath stays visible, and that's exactly where the colour kits' scope ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeep cracks, split edges and worn-away grain are jobs for the build-up underneath, not for colour. For those, there are fillers, grain paste and adhesives under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur\"\u003eRepair by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e. The order is non-negotiable: fill and sand first, then colour. Put colour over a crack and you've got a coloured crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second hard limit is the type of leather. All the leather colour kits assume a pigmented top coat. Open-pored aniline, nubuck, suede and Alcantara don't have that layer; there the tint would soak in as a stain instead of sitting as a film. The test takes a minute: if a drop of water beads on an inconspicuous spot, the leather is coated. If it soaks in and darkens, the area belongs to the open-pored camp, and the route goes via the nubuck base in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-farbauffrischer\"\u003eColour refresher by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our experience, the third limit comes up least often and is the most annoying: colour matching. We recoloured a twelve-year-old seat with the factory black that matched exactly according to the database, and the fresh area still came out visibly darker than the rest. The reason isn't the colour but the surrounding leather, which a decade of UV light had lightened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest takeaway: on heavily faded areas, colour the whole part up to the next seam, not just the patch. On the roof, the same principle applies with different limits. Vinyl roofs, polycarbonate windows and fabric whose fibres have already worn through don't belong under colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich colour kit suits your damage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fastest way to a decision is two questions: what surface are you dealing with, and how big is the area that really needs colour?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single worn spot on pigmented smooth leather, i.e. steering wheel, side bolster or gear knob, is a job for the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh Set XS\". If you want to work through cleaning, colour and protection in one go without putting the pieces together yourself, take the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh C \u0026amp; P Set\". For several cars or a complete interior in the same colour, the COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh Set XL\" pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA faded fabric roof is a case of its own and needs the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-cabrio-colour-set\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Cabrio Colour Set\"\u003c\/a\u003e in the right shade. And if you're only missing one piece of the kit because cleaner and sealant are already on the shelf, go the individual route: the neutral bases and the nubuck version are under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-farbauffrischer\"\u003eColour refresher by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e, and the right cleaner to go before them under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederreiniger\"\u003eLeather cleaner by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe thought that sits above it all: a colour kit doesn't replace an upholsterer; it pushes back the point at which you need one. The polished-bare spot on the steering wheel rim is the moment when the top coat is still there and only the colour has gone. That's when the repair costs a weekend and a kit. Once the finish has worn through and bare leather is showing, you're no longer recolouring; you're having it re-trimmed.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-fresh-c-p-set","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh C \u0026 P Set\"","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eRestore smooth leather to OEM color in three steps with COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh C \u0026amp; P Set?

The set combines a slightly acidic Leather Cleaner Mild, a water-based polymer dye, and a Leather Protector into a complete three-phase workflow. After the water evaporates, the dye forms a flexible polymer mesh on the leather surface, which optically fills micro-fine scratches and replenishes the color in faded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH just below the fiber pH of leather.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth leather is acid-tanned and has a natural pH range between 4.5 and 5.5.

The seat is cleaned with Leather Cleaner Mild, then the dye is applied directly, and four weeks later the color peels off the bolster. The missing step is degreasing. Every smooth leather has an invisible layer of skin oils, old care lotions, and silicones that the mild cleaner does not remove. From our experience, the strict rule is: after cleaning, it is essential to degrease with COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaning Spirit. The quick check before dyeing is the tape test with painter's tape—if the tape doesn't stick, there's still grease, and you need to clean again. Only then apply the dye with a sponge, dabbing in wafer-thin layers, with a hairdryer between layers. And without exception, 24 hours must pass before the Protector is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree phases, one sequence that is non-negotiable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Fresh C \u0026amp; P Set\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a miracle cure for Sunday afternoon, but a continuous three-phase workflow. Anyone who skips a phase will reliably ruin the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 1 is cleaning with \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Cleaner Mild\u003c\/strong\u003e. The formulation is a mild anionic surfactant system with a slightly acidic pH, so that the fiber does not swell. Professionals always put the cleaner into a foam dispenser (Foamer Bottle), because the drier foam prevents the leather from getting soaked and becoming stiff like a board when drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePump foam onto a slightly damp sponge, work it in with a soft leather brush in circular motions, then immediately remove it with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not let it dry, otherwise edges will form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 2 is degreasing with Leather Cleaning Spirit. This component is not included in the set and must be purchased separately. Nevertheless, it is not an optional step. The cleaning spirit dissolves skin oils, sunscreen residues, and old silicone-based care lotion from the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe polymer dye adheres permanently only to a degreased surface. The tape test with painter's tape is a quick quality check: if the tape sticks, the surface is grease-free and you can proceed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 3 is dyeing with the \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Fresh\u003c\/strong\u003e polymer. Shake the bottle vigorously, as the water-based polymer dispersion tends to stratify. Wet the enclosed sponge, apply the material in wafer-thin layers by \u003cem\u003edabbing\u003c\/em\u003e or massaging in gentle circular movements—never spread, otherwise streaks will form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDry with a hairdryer on a medium setting between each layer. For heavily worn bolsters, three to four thin layers are realistic. Then allow to polymerize for a full 24 hours before applying the Protector. If you want to care for the cockpit and door panels in parallel, combine the set with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lederpflege\"\u003eleather care\u003c\/a\u003e collection or with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/innenraumreiniger\"\u003einterior cleaners\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolymer film, not filler. Three hard limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Fresh\u003c\/strong\u003e dye is a polymer film, not a repair filler. Three substrates are taboo, three technical limits must be known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst limit: open-pore leather. Aniline leather, nubuck, suede, and velour leather immediately draw the water-based polymer dispersion deep into the fiber, without forming a film. The result is dark, patchy discolorations that cannot be removed without residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore each application, perform the water drop test: place a drop of clear water on an inconspicuous area. If it absorbs within 30 seconds, the leather is open-pore. In that case, use COLOURLOCK Aniline \u0026amp; Suede Protector, not the C \u0026amp; P Set. Synthetic microfiber fabrics like Alcantara are also on the negative list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond limit: the set does not repair cracks or holes. The polymer matrix has a minimal filling effect for micro-fine surface scratches in the leather finish, but none for deep fiber damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to close a hole in the seat bolster, you first need COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather (liquid leather) as a filler and then work with Leather Fresh for color matching. Without this preliminary work, the hole will remain visible, because the dye only forms a thin film over the wound and will tear when the seat is sat on for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird limit: no radical color changes. If you want to recolor black leather to beige, you need solvent-based spray paints with a spray gun, not the water-based C \u0026amp; P Set.

Anyone outside these three profiles will either overchallenge or underchallenge the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst target group: Prosumers and hobby mechanics with a special restoration object. The greasy steering wheel of a youngtimer, the worn bolster in a 10-year-old BMW, the faded seat in a Mercedes E-Class Convertible. Anyone who invests a full Saturday and adheres to the three-phase logic will achieve a smart repair level without a smart repair bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond target group: Smart repair specialists and semi-commercial detailing studios. They work with a spray gun or airbrush instead of a sponge, achieving a seamless factory finish without sponge texture on the leather. The OEM color database makes the set the de facto industry standard for color-accurate restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird target group: Saddlers and leather restorers for larger restorations. Classic car interiors, vintage car cockpits, 80s Mercedes SL seats. In combination with Fluid Leather as a filler and, if necessary, Elephant Leather Preserver for extreme re-oiling, the set covers the complete tool chain for full restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the competition, the set is clearly positioned. Geist. Easy Colour Restorer is cheaper and does not require a separate topcoat due to self-crosslinking polymers, but it lacks the vehicle-specific OEM color database. GYEON Q²M Leather Set is a ceramic coating for prevention on intact new leather, not a repair system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLMX\/Coralux Keralux dominates the home furniture market with alkaline cleaners, not the automotive sector with pH-compliant formulations. If you need color restoration to original tone, the C \u0026amp; P Set is the right choice. If you want to protect new leather, a ceramic sealant is better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne practical trick that no manufacturer brochure reveals: after the dye has dried and before the Protector, gently run the included leather sanding pad over the surface without pressure. This smooths the polymer surface, eliminates any remaining micro-roughness, and restores the fiber's original, almost factory-like feel.

The professional rule is the adhesive tape test: after cleaning with cleaning benzine or degreaser, press a short piece of painter's tape onto the spot and slowly pull it off. If the tape comes off easily, there is still skin oil or old care product on the surface, and the next tint layer would not adhere. If the tape sticks firmly, the surface is ready. No datasheet prescribes this test. From our experience, it is the insurance against the most frequent complaint in leather dyeing.

If you break the order or skip a step, you risk peeling within a few weeks. These steps have been the standard in reconditioning for decades and apply to the XS formulation exactly as they do to the professional container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep 1: \u003cstrong\u003eDeep Cleaning.\u003c\/strong\u003e The damaged area is cleaned with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-cleaner-mild-lederreiniger\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner Mild\u003c\/a\u003e or, for greasy smooth leather, with Leather Cleaner Strong. Work the foam in with a soft leather brush for 30 to 60 seconds, wipe off with a damp viscose cloth, and let dry. Never use abrasive microfiber cloths meant for paint care. They scratch the factory protective layer to which Leather Fresh must later adhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep 2: \u003cstrong\u003eDegreasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe with COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaning Benzine or the solvent-free Degreaser on a lint-free cloth until the surface becomes visibly dull. Hand grease on the steering wheel, old leather care on the seat bolster, or surfactant residues from the cleaner will otherwise prevent the adhesion of the water-based tint. Use the adhesive tape test as a check. Step 3: \u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Smoothing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gently level raised microfibers on the worn area with the COLOURLOCK Leather Sanding Pad, using light circular motions without pressure. Remove sanding dust with a cloth lightly moistened with benzine.

Apply the color to the enclosed sponge, never directly to the leather. Dab or apply in light circular motions in very thin layers from seam to seam, and immediately cure each layer with a household hairdryer on a medium setting from about 20 cm distance for 60 to 90 seconds. Only the heat evaporates the water and cross-links the polymer. High opacity is achieved through three to five very thin repetitions, not by a thick layer. Forcing full opacity in one go leads to blistering and the dreaded rubbing off upon the first touch. Step 5: \u003cstrong\u003eSealing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tinted area must rest and outgas for 24 hours. Only then gently apply Leather Shield as friction protection or Leather Protector with UV protection and antioxidants, without strong pressure and without rubbing. Otherwise, fresh polymer layers will detach again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAniline Leather, Deep Cracks, and Wrong Solvents as Hard Limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeather Fresh is chemically highly calibrated for semi-matte, surface-dyed smooth leather with a functioning protective layer. If the product is applied to incompatible substrates or if the wrong chemicals are used during pre-treatment, a leather interior that quickly costs four figures to re-upholster can be ruined in minutes. Three limits that must be checked before each application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst limit: \u003cstrong\u003eAniline leather, nubuck, and open-pore suede.\u003c\/strong\u003e These types of leather do not have a factory protective layer. The aqueous polymer dispersion penetrates uncontrollably into the open pores and coats the surface in a patchy and greasy manner. Before each application, perform the water drop test: place a drop on an inconspicuous area. If it is absorbed within 30 seconds and remains dark, the leather is open-pored, and the set is not suitable. For aniline leather, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-aniline-nubuck-cleaner-lederreiniger\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK Aniline and Nubuck Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the correct choice. However, for pigmented smooth leather with a clear protective layer or for PU synthetic leather in the interior, you are on the right track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond limit: \u003cstrong\u003eDeep cracks and torn seat bolsters.\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather Fresh conceals superficial scratches and colors worn areas excellently, but it does not bridge gaps. Testers in vehicle detailing forums rate exactly this point as the hardest limitation. For cracks or already torn seat bolsters, Fluid Leather as a filler is a mandatory preceding step. Third limit: \u003cstrong\u003eAggressive brake cleaners for degreasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e If, out of frugality, brake cleaner is used instead of cleaning benzine or degreaser, the factory protective layer is immediately destroyed by acetone and naphtha components, making the leather brittle. This mistake is regularly documented in DIY forums. It is irreparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA fourth honest limitation, which marketing is reluctant to state: F034 Black usually covers in the first pass. Light shades like beige, white, or cream colors, based on experience from professional reconditioning, require five to six layers until dark scuff marks on the steering wheel are completely concealed. If you want to restore a light interior, calculate double the working time and, if in doubt, have a second XS set ready. Opened bottles can be used for six to twelve months, after which the dispersion thickens and becomes unusable for fine auto-leveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCar Leather Dye for Hobby Detailers and One-Time Repairs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XS set is the entry-level kit for exactly one application: punctual smart repair on a single vehicle. 100 ml is enough for a complete steering wheel or two heavily worn seat bolsters.

People who want to eliminate the worn greasy sheen on the steering wheel after 80,000 to 150,000 kilometers without paying for a professional re-upholstery. A steering wheel re-upholstery in the DACH region can quickly cost several hundred euros gross, while the XS set, when applied correctly, achieves a visually and haptically indistinguishable result at a fraction of the cost. For used car sellers, this is the difference between selling with or without visible wear-related depreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic car owners\u003c\/strong\u003e use the set to preserve the patina of 30-year-old leather and gently touch up small imperfections without destroying the historical value through complete re-upholstery. \u003cstrong\u003eFirst-time users before a larger restoration\u003c\/strong\u003e test the technique with the XS volume on a single spot before switching to the professional container. Compared to competing systems, COLOURLOCK scores at the beginner level with its user-friendly auto-leveling viscosity and OEM color database. Geist Easy Colour Restorer advertises self-cross-linking without sealing, but in the 50 ml format, it is more expensive per application and lacks the official factory color code library. Aerosol sprays like Volico or Motip work with solvent-based spray mist and require extensive masking of the interior. For the typical localized damage on the steering wheel, the sponge application of the XS set is more respiratory-friendly and more controllable in a cramped interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom our experience, the crucial leverage for first-time users is not the color accuracy of the tint, but the discipline in preparation. Those who meticulously follow steps one to three will achieve a steering wheel result at a professional upholsterer's level with the XS set. Those who degrease without doing the adhesive tape test will see the tint peel off after three weeks. The tint itself is not the risk.

High opacity is achieved by repeated application, not by a thick single layer.

Anyone who wants to restore a single steering wheel or a small damaged area on a private car should more sensibly choose the 150-ml format from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lederpflege\"\u003eleather care\u003c\/a\u003e collection with Set XS. The large 1-liter container defines a different target group and a different scale of application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial vehicle detailers and smart repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e are the primary target group. Leased vehicles returning with worn steering wheels and scuffed seat bolsters are re-dyed black with standard F034 dye in the detailing hub, because factory black is the most common OEM color in the German premium fleet. A 1-liter set covers six to ten of these detailing jobs. The business can work without delivery interruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle makers and furniture restorers\u003c\/strong\u003e use the large container for components where a new cover would destroy the originality certificate, or for furniture upholstery with large restoration areas. The 46-color logic allows invisible touch-ups right on a seat surface. If the dye is precisely matched to the OEM color, a smart repair on the seat upholstery looks like factory condition. \u003cstrong\u003eFleet managers and car dealerships\u003c\/strong\u003e with standard black or carbon black leather interiors benefit from continuous inventory maintenance. A 1-liter stock is computationally more sensible than 30 to 50 individual bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to competing systems, the Set XL is the volume-oriented answer. Geist. Easy Colour Restorer markets a 50-ml format with self-crosslinking for DIY users but cannot deliver a 1-liter professional container. Ledermax Repair #6.0, as a 2K system with a hybrid hardener, is chemically more complex and, due to its pot life of one to two hours, less flexible for quick smart repair jobs. Swissvax Leather Healer positions itself in luxury detailing at significantly higher costs per milliliter. COLOURLOCK wins at the professional level through scalability and a complete workflow ecosystem consisting of Leather Cleaner Mild and Strong, Cleaning Benzine or Degreaser, Leather Sanding Pad, Fluid Leather, Leather Fresh, and sealing with Leather Shield or Protector. Every link in the chain is coordinated with the next. Those who also maintain the exterior during interior restoration can sensibly supplement the set with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/innenraumreiniger\"\u003einterior cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e assortment for the cockpit, headliner, and door panels.
