Q: What is the difference between Leather Protector and Leather Sealant?

Leather Sealant is mainly for new smooth leather, focusing on protection against abrasion, wear and dye transfer. Leather Protector is a care and protection lotion often used on older smooth leather, helping to slow ageing and fading thanks to antioxidants and UV filters.

Q: How do I repair cracks in car leather (basics) with suitable kits?

As a rule, small cracks/tears can be repaired as long as the leather substance is still there. A typical repair kit includes cleaner, degreaser, filler and colour. Basic workflow: clean, degrease, smooth the edges, build filler in thin layers, recreate texture if needed, apply colour refresher/dye, and finally protect again (protector or sealant depending on leather age/condition). For large tears or missing material, professional upholstery repair is often best.

Q: Is COLOURLOCK suitable for leather furniture?

Yes. COLOURLOCK is designed for automotive and furniture leather, and many kits/solutions are explicitly suitable for both.

Q: What is the difference between mild and strong cleaner?

Mild is for regular cleaning and normal dirt. Strong is for heavy soiling or stubborn build-up. Best practice: start with mild and only move to strong if needed.

Q: Can I use COLOURLOCK on artificial leather?

Yes, many COLOURLOCK solutions are also suitable for artificial leather. Use products intended for synthetic/vinyl surfaces. Leather greases (like Elephant) are not suitable for PU-coated materials.

Q: What is Elephant leather grease and what is it used for?

Elephant Leather Preserver is a fully synthetic, acid-free leather grease that protects, impregnates and cares for leather. It is especially used for older, dry or robust smooth leather and is also known in the context of conservation/preservation.

Q: How often should I protect or condition my car leather?

It depends on use and high-contact areas (driver seat/steering wheel need it more often). As a rough guideline, Leather Protector is often used around every 6 months depending on wear. For new leather, the focus is usually on protection (sealant) rather than heavy conditioning.

Which COLOURLOCK product is right for my car leather?

It mainly depends on the leather type and age. For most modern car interiors (pigmented/coated smooth leather) start with a mild cleaner for regular dirt or a strong cleaner for heavy soiling. Then add protection: for new leather (often the first ~3 years) use a leather sealant to reduce abrasion and dye transfer, while older leather benefits more from a protector lotion with UV and antioxidant protection.
