Each product addresses a specific type of damage: wax and care product films, deeply absorbed grease, color transfer like jean abrasion, superglue residues, and grease films that must be removed before coloring or repair. They were developed by the leather specialist that has been supplying repair professionals since 1995 as Lederzentrum GmbH and is now part of Koch-Chemie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom practical repair experience, since 1995.\u003c\/strong\u003e COLOURLOCK earns its living through leather repair and recoloring — these specialized removers are the step before that.

That is why COLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\" comes in a small 20 ml bottle, and COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent\" is also available as 40 ml (pen) for precise application on edges and seams.

What pulls grease out of leather cannot soften glue — that is exactly why this category is divided into specialists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro-tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with stains on leather is reaching for the strongest product first. We regularly receive inquiries about leather damage that didn't come from the stain, but from the attempt to remove it — acetone, nail polish remover, or a razor blade took the color layer off with it. Therefore: always work from mild to strong. Start with a leather cleaner, then use the appropriate specialized remover, and always test every product on an inconspicuous area first, such as the underside of the seat. The stain isn't going anywhere — but a dissolved color layer will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEvery stain has its own chemistry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stain on leather is rarely dirt in the classic sense. Wax from care products polymerizes into a film, skin grease absorbs into the coating over months, jean dye bonds with the pigment layer, and superglue hardens into a glass-hard structure. A leather cleaner works with surfactants on the surface — it cannot do anything against these bonds, no matter how long you scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCOLOURLOCK knows these cases from the repair table. The brand was created in 1995 at the Lederzentrum, a specialist in leather repair and leather dyes, and has been supplying saddlers and detailers for three decades. Anyone who recolors discolored seat bolsters daily and saves glued furniture edges knows exactly which residues require which chemistry — and where the wrong product causes more damage than the stain itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis leads to the logic of this category: no universal remover, but tuned specialists. One dissolves wax and care product films, one sucks grease out of the fiber structure, one removes color transfer, one softens superglue, and one degreases before repairs. Since the acquisition by Koch-Chemie, the line is managed under Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK — nothing has changed regarding the formulas or this classification as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classification is not product marketing, but chemistry: A product strong enough to solve all these problems at once would dissolve the leather coating as well. Specialization is the reason why these products can be used in a controlled manner — each only acts on the bond it was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe range extends from wax films to superglue. Against wax, grease, and care product films, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-stain-remover-flecken-wachsentferner\"\u003eStain and Wax Remover\u003c\/a\u003e COLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover\": It dissolves old sealing layers, polish residues, and built-up care films that mild cleaners slip off of, leaving behind a uniform, receptive surface. Available as 1000 ml \/ 1 liter; for detailing shops, also as 10 liters. Together with the next two products, it forms the brand's \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-fleckenentferner\"\u003estain remover\u003c\/a\u003e group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbsorbed grease stains are a different caliber. Dark zones on headrests, armrests, and seats do not sit on the leather, but inside it — that is where the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-grease-absorber-paste-fett-absorbtionsmittel-leder\"\u003eAbsorber Paste\u003c\/a\u003e COLOURLOCK \"Grease Absorber Paste\" works: It is applied to cover the area, pulls the grease out of the leather structure as it dries, and is then brushed off. It visibly lightens dark grease zones, especially on light-colored smooth leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor color transfer — especially jean abrasion on light-colored seats — there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-gld-solvent-leder-verfaerbungen-entferner\"\u003eDiscoloration Remover\u003c\/a\u003e COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent\". It softens color transfer and old coating residues in the top leather layer and opens the surface in a controlled way for the next step. For spot applications, it is available in the 40 ml (pen) variant, and for larger areas as 250 ml or 1000 ml \/ 1 liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe special case of superglue has its own \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-klebstoffentferner\"\u003eadhesive remover\u003c\/a\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sek-off-entferner-sekundenkleberrueckstande\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\"\u003c\/a\u003e swells the glass-hard glue structure and makes it soft enough to carefully lift it off — in places where mechanical scraping would leave behind shiny spots and abrasion marks. The 20 ml bottle lasts a long time because it is applied drop by drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most inconspicuous tool works in preparation: the solvent-free \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-degreaser-leder-entfetter\"\u003eDegreaser\u003c\/a\u003e COLOURLOCK \"Degreaser\" removes skin oils, dirt films, and product residues from heavily used areas like seat bolsters and steering wheels — everywhere that fillers, color, or sealant need to adhere afterwards. Available as 100 ml, 250 ml, and 1000 ml \/ 1 liter; in the range, it has its own subcategory: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-entfetter\"\u003eDegreaser by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first active principle is dissolving. COLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover,\" COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent,\" and COLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\" work with solvent formulas of varying strengths: They swell the target bond — wax film, color transfer, or glue — and separate it from the coating, similar to how warm water loosens a label from glass. For you, this means: the residue comes off without you having to scrub mechanically and roughen the surface in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second principle is absorbing. The COLOURLOCK \"Grease Absorber Paste\" is based on highly absorbent mineral components that pull grease out of the leather structure via capillary action — like blotting paper absorbing ink. The paste binds the residues while drying and transports them to the surface. You can tell it's working because the paste changes color while the stain lightens — the grease is then in the paste, no longer in the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third principle is solvent-free degreasing. COLOURLOCK \"Degreaser\" uses surfactants that encapsulate grease molecules and lift them from the surface without attacking the coating. In other words: It removes the invisible grease film that causes every repair to fail — because fillers, color, and top coat only hold on a grease-free, matte surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach principle has its limits, and those belong on the table. COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent\" opens the color layer in a controlled way — after application, the area needs to be treated or rebuilt with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben\"\u003ecoloring and finishing line\u003c\/a\u003e; this is not a defect, but the point of a repair preparer. The Grease Absorber Paste belongs on pigmented smooth leather, not on aniline, nubuck, or suede. And the Degreaser removes surface fats, not deeply absorbed oil stains — those are a job for the paste. We can confirm this from daily Detailing1 life: Most inquiries about GLD Solvent end with the question about the appropriate color to follow — anyone who plans for that beforehand won't experience any surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every specialized remover comes standard cleaning. A \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederreiniger\"\u003eleather cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e removes everyday dirt and only then shows what is truly a case for the specialists — surprisingly often, the supposedly absorbed stain is simply gone after the basic cleaning. What remains is treated in a targeted manner: Apply the product sparingly to a cloth or pad, never directly onto the surface, and work on the spot in a controlled manner rather than rubbing over a large area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTesting on an inconspicuous area is not just a precautionary cliché, but part of the application. Every leather is coated differently, every color is differently stable — a minute on the underside of the seat or behind the seat rail tells you how your surface reacts before you work in the visible area. Professionals perform this test on every vehicle, precisely because they know the products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grease Absorber Paste requires a different rhythm: apply it to cover the dry grease spot, let it dry completely, brush off or vacuum — and repeat for older stains. Expect several passes for a grease stain that has been absorbed over years; that is normal and part of the process. Each pass pulls out another layer of grease, and the stain becomes visibly lighter instead of disappearing in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter removal comes reconstruction. An area that has been degreased or softened needs care — and where the color layer has suffered or the GLD Solvent has been used, the coloring line takes over. We recommend thinking about the finish right away: Anyone who removes the stain and leaves the area exposed will have the next stain in the same spot in a few weeks, because open surfaces absorb dirt faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of home remedies for leather stains is long: acetone and nail polish remover for glue, razor blades for thick crusts, vegetable oil for softening, miracle cleaners from the drugstore for jean abrasion. The results are right there in the forums — we read the same histories there that also reach us as inquiries: The glue is gone, and the color layer is too. The spot is shiny, has become hard, or is lighter than the rest of the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason is always the same: home remedies act uncontrollably. Acetone does not distinguish between superglue and pigment layer — it dissolves both. Oil absorbs uncontrollably into the leather and becomes a stain of its own. A razor blade works mechanically against a crust that is harder than the coating underneath; if it tilts, the cut is deeper than the glue ever sat. The specialized removers, on the other hand, are tuned to exactly one bond and can be dosed, stopped, and repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHonest classification also includes the other direction: Not every stain needs a specialized remover. Fresh dirt, drink splashes, and normal gray haze are a case for a mild leather cleaner; fresh grease splashes are often removed by the strong one — you can find both among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederreiniger\"\u003eleather cleaners by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e. The specialists begin where the stain has been absorbed, hardened, or chemically bonded. If you are unsure, start with the cleaner — this path is always reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd sometimes the right answer is none from this category: A seat that is worn and frayed over a large area can no longer be saved by any remover — that is a case for coloring and repair. We would rather say that before the purchase than afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe assignment is easier than the range looks. If a wax or care product film makes the surface dull and sticky: COLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover.\" If there is a dark grease zone on the headrest or seat that no cleaner moves: COLOURLOCK \"Grease Absorber Paste.\" If light-colored seats show jean abrasion or color transfer: COLOURLOCK \"GLD Solvent\" — as a spot application (40 ml pen) or for larger areas (250 ml). These cases are gathered in the subcategory \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-fleckenentferner\"\u003eStain Removers by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf superglue has landed on leather, faux leather, or plastic: COLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\" from the subcategory \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-klebstoffentferner\"\u003eAdhesive Removers\u003c\/a\u003e. And if you are preparing for coloring, repair, or sealing: the solvent-free COLOURLOCK \"Degreaser\" from the subcategory \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-entfetter\"\u003eDegreaser\u003c\/a\u003e — it is the least spectacular of these cases and yet most often determines the final result, because color simply does not hold on grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll other cleaning products of the brand — from leather cleaner to odor neutralizer — can be found one level up: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung\"\u003eBack to Cleaning by COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.

What a mild cleaner can still manage today will need a specialized remover in a month — and what has absorbed for a year ends up needing recoloring. The best time for the right remover is therefore always: as soon as you notice the stain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-stain-remover-flecken-wachsentferner","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover\" leather stain and wax remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK \"Stain Remover\" — leather stain and wax remover for flawless, residue-free leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe COLOURLOCK Stain Remover is a specialised stain and wax remover for leather and solvent-resistant surfaces.

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":84.99,"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-sek-off-entferner-sekundenkleberrueckstande","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Sek-Off\" Remover for Superglue Residue","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK Sek-Off — Specialist Remover for Superglue Residue on Leather \u0026amp; Plastic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow does COLOURLOCK Sek-Off work? — The specialist remover lifts superglue residue off leather, faux leather and many plastic surfaces in a controlled way, without attacking the material too hard, and leaves a clean, repair-ready surface.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Sek-Off\u003c\/strong\u003e is the precise fix when superglue has landed on leather or plastic.
