The formulation depends on the substrate—COLOURLOCK \"Leather Shield\" for pigmented real leather, COLOURLOCK \"Artificial Leather Protector\" for faux leather and PU. The goal remains the same in both cases: less abrasion on contact surfaces, less color transfer from clothing, and no shiny spots where daily movement occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection exactly where leather gives out first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear is not distributed evenly throughout the interior. It is concentrated on the entry edge, side bolsters, steering wheel rim, and armrests—places where denim seams, rivets, and belt buckles work like fine sandpaper every time you get in or out.

We regularly receive inquiries from drivers whose side bolsters are already shiny and greasy—and who now want to apply sealant to get rid of it. That is not how it works: a sealant preserves the condition it finds. If the pigment layer on the entry edge has already worn thin, the film will preserve exactly that state. The right moment is much earlier, namely while the topcoat is still intact: on a new car, after detailing, or after a repair. And always in this order: clean, let dry completely, apply a thin layer of sealant. Anyone who skips the cleaning step will trap skin oils and denim dye under the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealant protects the surface, care products feed the fibers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA leather sealant is not a superior leather care product. It works in a different area: externally on the topcoat rather than internally in the fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAutomotive leather rarely dies from dryness; it dies from friction. Modern automotive leather features a pigmented PU topcoat, and it is precisely this layer that you see, touch, and wear down a little bit every time you get in. As long as it is intact, the leather looks uniform. Once it is worn through in one spot, the lighter base color underneath appears—from that point on, it is a case for color refreshing, no longer for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA friction-resistant polymer works against this: a finely cross-linked film that attaches to the topcoat and acts as a sacrificial layer between the leather and clothing. It wears away rather than cracking or building up. In other words: what wears off on your entry edge is a film you can renew in a few minutes—not the pigment layer, which can only be restored with color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second effect involves surface energy. A sealed surface is smoother and less attractive to dirt, skin oils, and dissolved textile dyes because they lack the microscopic roughness needed to anchor themselves. In everyday life, this means: interior cleaning is faster and requires less pressure—which in turn means less abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to distinguish the lower and upper limits. A leather sealant is not a paint sealant: it does not hermetically seal the leather; it remains breathable, and subsequent care products can still reach the fibers. And it is not an impregnation—oils for smooth leather work against penetrating water and dirt, not against mechanical friction. If your concern is moisture rather than wear, you will find the right product under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-lederoel\"\u003eLeather Oil \u0026amp; Impregnation\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePore pattern and seams reveal the material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you reach for the bottle, you need to know what you are applying it to. Real leather and faux leather look virtually identical in a modern vehicle interior from two meters away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first clue is the pore pattern. Faux leather has an embossed grain whose pattern repeats exactly at regular intervals—if you scan the surface, you will find the same pore arrangement multiple times. Real leather is irregular: pores of different sizes, occasional scars, and small differences in density. The second clue is temperature. Faux leather stays cool under your palm, while real leather absorbs body heat within a few seconds and releases it more slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third and most reliable clue is at the edges. Look at the underside of the seat or an exposed edge at a seam: faux leather shows a textile fabric as a backing on which the PU layer rests. Real leather has a fibrous, suede-like back without fabric structure at the cut edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake concerns blends. Many vehicles combine both in the same seat: real leather on the seating surface where it is visible and tactile, and faux leather on side bolsters, backrests, and headrests, where it is cheaper and more dimensionally stable. In the equipment lists, this is noted as a leather combination or leather\/faux leather. This means for you: a single seat might require both sealants—and ironically, the side bolster that suffers the most is the faux leather surface in many cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of what is actually installed reaches us regularly, and in most cases, a look at the vehicle's equipment list clarifies it faster than any test on the seat. If you don't find it there, test in a hidden spot—under the seat cushion or on the back of the backrest—and work your way from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal leather or faux leather determines the bottle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe breakdown of this category follows not assortment logic, but material physics. Coated real leather and PU faux leather react differently to the same film, and that is exactly what determines the product choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pigmented real leather, there is COLOURLOCK \"Leather Shield,\" found under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-echtleder\"\u003eReal Leather Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e. The polymer attaches specifically to the topcoat without changing breathability or haptics—the leather continues to feel soft but shows signs of friction-induced shine much later. It dries to a satin-matte finish; no buffing is necessary, and no wax-based residues are created. This is precisely why it is the product for new cars, leased vehicles, and freshly detailed interiors: it slows down greasy shine before it even develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor faux leather and synthetic surfaces, there is COLOURLOCK \"Artificial Leather Protector,\" found under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-kunstleder\"\u003eFaux Leather Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e. The film is flexible and transparent, reducing friction between the surface and clothing and making it harder for dirt, skin oils, and textile dyes to penetrate the material structure. The crucial difference from care products: the Protector is not greasy. Faux leather has no collagen fibers that could absorb fat—oils remain sticky on the surface and bind dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth formulations are available in 100 ml and 1000 ml \/ 1 liter sizes. Because both are applied thinly and do not saturate the material, 100 ml is enough for a complete vehicle interior. The liter size is for detailers, upholsterers, and anyone who maintains furniture, office chairs, or bags in addition to their car—faux leather is used for far more than just vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat connects both products is their origin in leather repair. COLOURLOCK emerged from the Leather Center, which has been supplying upholsterers and detailers with dyes and repair materials since 1995 and is now part of Koch-Chemie. Anyone who re-dyes worn-out side bolsters daily knows exactly where and in what order leather gives out. The sealants are the answer to this: prevented repair instead of cosmetic effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApply thinly, let flash off, do not rub in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application determines the result, and it is unspectacular: clean, let dry completely, distribute thinly in overlapping strokes, let flash off briefly, and that's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step is the one most often skipped. A sealant on uncleaned leather traps skin oil, cosmetic residues, and denim dye already transferred under the film—making them significantly harder to remove than before. In brand-new interiors, manufacturing residues and release agents are added to the mix. For both cases, you will find the appropriate strength under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-lederreiniger\"\u003eLeather Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e: mild for regular maintenance, strong for the deep cleaning before the first protective application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply with a soft applicator or cloth, in straight, overlapping strokes rather than circles. The film should be uniform, not saturated. The classic mistake is \"rubbing it in\": the product doesn't need pressure, just distribution. After that, a short flash-off time is enough; the surface dries to a satin-matte finish and is not buffed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerforated and ventilated seats require extra caution. Use noticeably less product there and do not push anything into the holes—what remains in the perforation will dry as a visible light spot and can only be removed with effort. A light, even application over the surface is fully sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the interval: for normal use every three to five months; for company cars, daily drivers, light-colored upholstery, and high-mileage drivers, more like every quarter. The fact that the film disappears is not a defect, but a function—it wears off instead of the leather. For real leather, you supplement the system from below: clean first, then seal, and at larger intervals, nourish the fibers with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-pflege-lederpflegemilch\"\u003eLeather Conditioning Milk\u003c\/a\u003e. Faux leather does not need this third step—there, it remains limited to cleaning and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWe see the limits of this sealant in everyday life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sealant does not repair anything. It holds the condition it finds—and that is exactly where most expectations that reach us fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first borderline case is temporal. If the topcoat on the side bolster is already worn thin and shiny, the film will not compensate for this but will simply sit on top. While this slows down further wear, it does not bring back the pigment layer. From this point on, the surface needs color refreshing or repair, and the sealant only comes back into play afterward—as protection for the freshly restored result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second borderline case concerns stains. The film lowers surface energy and buys you time; it is not a barrier. Acidic substances like fruit juice or cola will continue to attack the topcoat if left to sit, and strongly staining liquids will penetrate over longer periods of exposure anyway. The rule remains: wipe up early, then clean mildly. Tears, holes, and broken faux leather side bolsters are a case of wear and not a case for maintenance—they belong to an upholsterer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third borderline case is the substrate. A film-forming sealant has no place on open-pored aniline leather or nubuck: it alters the look and feel there because these leathers work without a topcoat and absorb liquids directly. Alcantara, microfiber, and fabric upholstery are also their own case and require \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-textilversiegelung\"\u003eTextile Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e instead of a leather product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom our everyday life, there is another classification that rarely anyone voices: the areas where a sealant actually changes something are countable. Entry edge, side bolster, steering wheel rim, armrest, and in family cars, the back of the front seats. The rest of the interior ages so slowly that the difference between sealed and unsealed is barely visible over years. If you want to be economical, then not with the quantity per application, but with the surface area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich sealant your interior really needs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fastest way to decide is through two questions: what material is installed, and how much topcoat is still left on the contact surfaces?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vehicle has pigmented real leather in good condition—a new car, a young used car, a freshly detailed interior—then COLOURLOCK \"Leather Shield\" from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-echtleder\"\u003eReal Leather Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e section is the right product. The benefit is greatest here because the pigment layer is still complete, and the film relieves it from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf side bolsters, backrests, or the entire upholstery consist of faux leather, reach for COLOURLOCK \"Artificial Leather Protector\" from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung-kunstleder\"\u003eFaux Leather Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e section. This is especially worthwhile for light-colored upholstery and for anyone who wears a lot of denim: color transfer is the number one problem on faux leather, long before abrasion becomes visible. And for a leather combination, simply apply both—seating surface according to real leather logic, bolsters and backrest according to faux leather logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the leather is already dry, hard, or dull, the work begins one step earlier: clean first, then nourish the fibers via the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-pflege-lederpflegemilch\"\u003eLeather Conditioning Milk\u003c\/a\u003e, and use the protective film at the end. In this order, each step meshes into the next. Conversely, the film does not block the care products, but it makes them unnecessary. All other protective products from the brand can be found one level higher: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-versiegelung\"\u003eBack to Sealant \u0026amp; Impregnation\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the thought that carries the whole category: you cannot decide whether your leather gets friction. Every drive, every entry, every denim seam delivers it. You can only decide what wears down in the process—the protective film or the topcoat underneath. The film is renewed in a few minutes. The topcoat is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-shield-pflegemittel","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Leather Shield\" Care Product for New Leather to Protect Against Wear","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaximum abrasion protection for new leather thanks to COLOURLOCK × Koch-Chemie Leather Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow does COLOURLOCK × Koch-Chemie Leather Shield protect new leather? — An invisible friction-shield polymer lays down over the leather like a fine protective film, cuts abrasion on the steering wheel, door sills and seat bolsters, and keeps new leather evenly matte and clean for longer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK × Koch-Chemie Leather Shield\u003c\/strong\u003e is your pro care product when you want to protect factory-fresh or as-new smooth leather against abrasion, cracking, shiny spots and colour loss for the long haul.

Day-to-day that means your leather still behaves naturally, stays soft, but shows far less friction-shine and micro-wear. On modern automotive leathers with a PU top coat especially, daily getting in and out, clothing edges, rivets or belt ends act like sandpaper — and the polymer film works here as a sacrificial protective layer. Per the maker's data, the formula is built so it neither builds up nor cracks, but wears down evenly and gets topped up when needed.

Clean new or as-new leather first with a mild leather cleaner to pull off production residue, light body oils and micro-grime. You apply the product with a soft applicator in straight, overlapping passes until you get an even film. After a short flash-off, the leather dries to a silky matte; you don't need the usual buffing afterwards because the product leaves no wax-based residue. In detail areas especially — steering wheel, console leather, side bolsters — precise work pays off. Paired with regular mild cleaning, the protection holds steady. For high-mileage cars like company vehicles or daily drivers, a quarterly top-up makes sense, since these areas take more mechanical stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults, durability \u0026amp; typical use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter you apply \u003cstrong\u003eLeather Shield\u003c\/strong\u003e, the leather's look stays factory-matte and free of the greasy shine that shows up fast on dark interiors.

At the same time the sealant makes it harder for dirt, dyes and skin oils to work their way into the material. Unlike classic care products, the Protector doesn't leave a greasy film — it actively protects the coating on modern PU and synthetic leather materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication, how to lay it down \u0026amp; best practices\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you start, the synthetic leather should be cleaned thoroughly and completely dry.
