COLOURLOCK Degreaser — Solvent-Free Degreaser for Leather

What is COLOURLOCK Degreaser used for? — The solvent-free degreaser gently removes skin oils, dirt films, and product residues from leather and improves adhesion for repairs, recoloring, and sealants.

COLOURLOCK Degreaser is an effective, solvent-free degreaser for preparing leather and artificial leather before repairs, recoloring, or sealing. It reliably removes skin oils, dirt films, care product residues, and light oil traces – especially in areas that are frequently touched, such as seat bolsters, steering wheels, armrests, furniture edges, bags, or grip zones. The formulation is powerful yet gentle and is also suitable for more sensitive leather surfaces, without drying out or damaging the material.

• Solvent-free degreasing – Removes oils & residues without stressing the leather.
• Optimizes adhesion – Perfect preparation for fillers, paint, and top coats.
• Versatile use – Suitable for automotive, furniture, fashion & accessory leather.

Degreasing Technology & Mechanism of Action

Degreaser uses modern surfactants that dissolve oils and polymer residues from the leather surface without attacking the coating. Especially in areas heavily stressed by skin contact, thorough degreasing is crucial: Fillers, paint, and top coat will only adhere permanently to grease-free surfaces. The degreaser dries streak-free, leaves no residue, and ensures a uniform, well-adhering surface.

Application, Method & Best Practices

Before application, the leather should be roughly cleaned. Degreaser is sparingly applied to a cloth or pad and worked into the surface in a controlled manner. Dissolved oils and residues are absorbed or removed with a clean cloth. For heavily soiled areas, the process can be repeated. It is important to let the leather dry completely before applying filler, binder, or paint. This creates an optimal adhesion base for a durable repair or color finish.

Results, Areas of Application & Benefits

After treatment, the surface appears clean, matte, and completely degreased. Degreaser is ideal for automotive interiors, furniture, bags, shoes, and accessories – wherever oils and residues could impair repair quality. It is not a stain remover for deeply penetrated oils, but a professional preparation tool for reliable leather reconditioning.
