COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Toyota: Specialized Suede and Velour Leather Care

What is COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Toyota? — This specialized suede and nubuck care maintains the texture and color of rough natural leathers in Toyota interiors — specially developed for velour, nubuck, and Alcantara.

COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh (Toyota) is a special care color for rough-textured suede, nubuck, and velour surfaces in Toyota 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 matting.

• Suede-specific – Specially formulated for rough-textured natural leathers.
• Preserves velour appearance – Prevents matting or smoothing of fibers.
• Original Toyota color tones – Factory-like pigmentation for seamless care.

💡 Detailing1 Workshop Practical Tip: With Toyota suede seats, we often see the same user error — customers treat suede with regular smooth leather care, which then causes the fibers to mat and look flattened. With Nubuck Fresh (Toyota) and a fine brass brush in 5-minute care, the typical velour look is preserved. After drying, brush lightly again — the fibers will then stand up softly.

Brush dry, spray, work in along the grain

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

Before treatment, the suede is dry-brushed with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush to remove dust and ingrained dirt. Then, it is damp-cleaned with a special suede cleaner and allowed to dry completely. Only then is Nubuk Fresh (Toyota) sprayed from a distance of 20–30 cm — avoid puddling, spread immediately.

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

Suede and velour yes, smooth leather no

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

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

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

For suede seats and Alcantara steering wheels

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

Suede and velour leather get dirty more quickly than smooth leather and fade more in 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 cycle is also worthwhile. An application takes about 45 minutes per pair of seats, including brushing and drying — material costs per application are around 6 Euros.

For pigmented smooth leather components in the same vehicle, Leather Fresh (Toyota) 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 (Toyota), which contains both components.
