This is exactly where AUTOMOTIVE — THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie Leather comes in. The system reduces errors, works in a material-appropriate way, and clearly guides you through two steps: clean – care. LeatherTexClean and LeatherLock function as a logical duo that keeps leather surfaces clean, supple, and resilient, without making them look greasy or over-treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Logic for Leather:\u003c\/strong\u003e first clean, then care – clean, safe, efficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle, Effective Cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e pore-deep, color-stable, material-friendly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Care: \u003c\/strong\u003esupple surface, UV protection, no shiny residue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeatherTexClean – Pore-Deep, Color-Stable Cleaning for All Leather Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLeatherTexClean is the basis of good leather care. The formulation combines mild surfactants with high cleaning power to dissolve sweat, skin oils, light dirt, and signs of wear from the pores without drying out the leather. Especially on modern automotive leathers – pigmented, grained, or semi-synthetic – the cleaner shows its strength: controllable effect, matte, natural look, and a fresh material appearance. Even leather-textile mixed surfaces are evenly cleaned without creating color differences. The leather is then neutral, grippy, and optimally prepared for the care application with LeatherLock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeatherLock – Nourishing Protective Film for Supple, UV-Stable Leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter cleaning, you stabilize the leather surface with LeatherLock. The care combines gentle conditioners with UV protection and forms a thin, completely unnoticeable protective film over the leather. No greasy shine, no oily edges – instead, a natural, slightly darkened feel that preserves the original material structure. LeatherLock reduces rapid re-soiling, improves grip, and prevents typical signs of aging such as dryness and lightening in the seam area. Ideal for seat surfaces, steering wheel, gear shift boot, or door panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Combination – Clean, Supple, and Durably Cared-For Leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe full effect only comes into play with both products working together: LeatherTexClean loosens dirt from pores and structures, LeatherLock builds up the care.

THE FINISHER LeatherLock leather care uses a finely balanced polymer emulsion that forms a thin, even film after a short flash-off time. This film smooths micro-roughness, refreshes optical saturation, and maintains the dry, non-slip feel of modern automotive leather. No greasy layer, no build-up of shine: the result looks factory-fresh. This care product is unsuitable for open-pore aniline as well as nubuck\/suede – these lack the protective topcoat that our product addresses. The basis of all care remains thorough preparation: remove everyday film with InsideUp, selectively dissolve pigment\/grease stains with LeatherTexClean, and only then apply care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication in the vehicle – Cleaning, Application, Buffing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e should be controlled and thin.

Seat bolsters, side bolsters, and heavily touched areas benefit from two very thin applications instead of one heavy one.
