COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Nissan: specialized suede and velour leather care

What is COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Nissan? — The specialized suede and nubuck care preserves the structure and color of rough natural leathers in Nissan interiors — specifically developed for velour, nubuck, and Alcantara.

COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh (Nissan) is a special care dye for rough-textured suede, nubuck, and velour surfaces in Nissan leather interiors. Unlike Leather Colour or Leather Fresh, Nubuck Fresh is not intended for smooth pigmented leather — the formulation is designed to preserve the fine fiber structure of suede and prevent it from sticking together.

• Suede-specific – Specially formulated for rough-textured natural leathers.
• Maintains velour look – Prevents fibers from sticking or flattening.
• Original Nissan colors – Factory-accurate pigmentation for seamless care.

💡 Pro tip from Detailing1 workshop: With Nissan suede seats, we often see the same user error — customers treat the suede with normal smooth leather care, which then causes the fibers to stick together and look flattened. With Nubuck Fresh (Nissan) and a fine brass brush in 5 minutes of care, the typical velour look is preserved. After drying, brush lightly again — then the fiber will stand up velvety again.

Brush dry, spray, work in the direction of the fibers

Nubuk Fresh (Nissan) is sprayed evenly onto the suede from a distance of 20–30 cm with a spray bottle and worked in with a soft brush in the direction of the fibers. After drying, brush again for the typical velour look.

Before care, the suede is dry brushed with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush to remove dust and stubborn dirt. Then, it is wet cleaned with a special suede cleaner and allowed to dry completely. Only then is Nubuk Fresh (Nissan) sprayed from a distance of 20–30 cm — no puddles, spread immediately.

The color is worked in with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush in the direction of the fibers until the pigmentation is evenly distributed. After 30–45 minutes of drying, the leather is lightly brushed again so that the fibers stand up and the typical velvety-matte velour look is created. A 250 ml bottle is sufficient for about 4–5 care applications on mid-range vehicles with Alcantara steering wheels and suede seats.

Suede and velour yes, smooth leather no

Nubuk Fresh (Nissan) is exclusively for rough-textured natural leathers — suede, nubuck, velour, and Alcantara. Pigmented Nissan smooth leathers are treated with Leather Colour or Leather Fresh.

The special carrier solution with finely pigmented dyes combines with the rough fiber structure without sticking or weighing it down. On smooth pigmented leather, Nubuck Fresh would adhere unevenly because the typical fiber structure is missing — the care would appear spotty rather than even. On aniline leather, the fiber would not be sufficiently protected, here aniline-specific COLOURLOCK lines are needed.

If the Nissan vehicle has genuine suede seats, an Alcantara steering wheel, or velour door panels, Nubuck Fresh is the only correct care. If the interior, on the other hand, consists of pigmented smooth leather, Leather Fresh (Nissan) or Leather Colour (Nissan) is used. In the case of mixed equipment (suede seats, smooth leather doors), both products are used in parallel.

For suede seats and Alcantara steering wheels

Nubuk Fresh (Nissan) is the care solution for owners and detailers with genuine suede or Alcantara components — applied every 6–12 months, the leather remains velvety and color-stable permanently.

Suede and velour leather get dirty faster than smooth leather and fade more under UV light. The care routine every 6–12 months prevents deep penetration of dirt and protects the fibers from permanent fading. For heavily used vehicles or family cars, a 3-month rhythm is also worthwhile. An application takes about 45 minutes per pair of seats including brushing and drying — costs per application are around 6 euros in material costs.

For pigmented smooth leather components in the same vehicle, Leather Fresh (Nissan) is used — both products complement each other in the workflow. Those looking for a complete care bundle for suede and smooth leather can also check out the Leather Care Set (Nissan), which contains both components.

Care instructions for suede care (Nissan):

Nubuk Fresh (Nissan) is exclusively for rough-textured natural leather – suede, nubuck, velour, and Alcantara. Pigmented Nissan smooth leather is treated with Leather Colour or Leather Fresh.

The special carrier solution with finely pigmented dyes combines with the rough fiber structure without sticking or weighing it down. On smooth pigmented leather, Nubuk Fresh would adhere unevenly because the typical fiber structure is missing – the care would appear blotchy instead of even. On aniline leather, the fiber would not be sufficiently protected; here, aniline-specific COLOURLOCK lines are needed.

If the Nissan vehicle has genuine suede seats, an Alcantara steering wheel, or velour door panels, Nubuk Fresh is the only correct care product. If the interior, however, consists of pigmented smooth leather, Leather Fresh (Nissan) or Leather Colour (Nissan) is used.
