COLOURLOCK Leather Colour for Citroën: Original Standard Colour for Factory-Correct Leather Repairs

What is COLOURLOCK Leather Colour for Citroën? — The precisely matched standard leather colour enables original-true colour refreshes and repairs on Citroën leather, ensuring a consistently even, factory-typical finish.

COLOURLOCK Leather Colour (Citroën) is a precisely matched standard leather colour for professional repair, refreshment, and recolouring of Citroën leather interiors. The colours are based on original Citroën colour samples and are formulated to blend harmoniously with existing surfaces. Ideal for seat bolsters, steering wheels, armrests, door panels, and all pigmented smooth leathers in the vehicle interior where colour fidelity and OEM appearance are crucial.

• Original Citroën Colour Tones – Developed according to factory-near colour samples.
• For Repair & Refreshment – Ideal for abrasion, fading, and colour loss.
• Professional Finish – Optimal adhesion and even colour appearance.

💡 Practical Tip from Detailing1 Workshop: In our workshop, we frequently see the same problem during Citroën detailing — colour loss on seat bolsters and steering wheels is covered up with cheap care spray, which doesn't last four weeks. With Leather Colour (Citroën) dabbed in 2–3 thin layers onto a microfiber pad, with 30 min drying time in between, and finally sealed with Top Coat Dull — the result lasts 2–3 years, like new from the factory.

Prepare, dab thinly, seal with Top Coat

Leather Colour (Citroën) is applied in 2–3 thin layers, with 30 min drying time in between, and finally sealed with Top Coat. Thin layers last for years, thick layers crack.

Before applying the colour, the leather is washed with leather cleaner and degreased with Plastic Cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Deep cracks and abrasion marks are smoothed out with Filler or Super Filler and sanded with 1000-grit sanding fleece. The Citroën colour tones are then dabbed on with a microfiber pad, wiped with a soft brush, or, for large-area repairs, applied with a spray bottle.

After complete drying for at least 4 hours, it is sealed with Top Coat — Dull for a matte, original OEM look, Glossy for medium shine, High Gloss for maximum brilliance. One litre of Leather Colour covers approximately 8–10 m² of leather surface, a 250 ml bottle is sufficient for a complete pair of seats including the steering wheel. The same workflow works for all components from the seat cushion to the door panel and the centre armrest.

Pigmented leather yes, natural leather and suede no

Leather Colour (Citroën) is suitable exclusively for pigmented smooth leather — the standard in modern automotive applications. Natural leather, aniline leather, and suede react differently and require other COLOURLOCK product lines.

The water-based formulation bonds with the pigment layer of modern automotive leathers, remains elastic, and follows leather movements without cracking. On natural leather or open-pored aniline leather, the colour penetrates unevenly into the fibre and stains the leather — here, Leather Fresh (Citroën) as a care variant or special aniline lines are used. Suede, velour, and Alcantara are treated with Nubuk Fresh (Citroën), which preserves the rough fibre structure instead of sticking it together.

If colour fidelity to the original factory colour is crucial and the component is to be extensively restored, Leather Colour is the right choice. If only a small area (steering wheel abrasion, a single crack) needs to be repaired, Fluid Leather (Citroën) in the 20 ml tube is more economical and precise. If the leather only appears slightly faded, Leather Fresh as a care variant is usually sufficient.

For detailers, workshops and owners of classic and vintage cars

Leather Colour (Citroën) is the professional choice for detailers, independent workshops, and ambitious owners who prioritize value retention and original Citroën colour fidelity over quick care solutions.

For leased vehicle returns, used car detailing, and classic and vintage car restorations, OEM colour fidelity determines value retention and resale price. The professional 4-step workflow (clean, sand, colour, seal) takes 4 hours including drying per component and delivers a result that lasts 2-3 years, like new from the factory. One litre of Leather Colour costs about 30 cents per 100 ml of treated area — workshop calculation including Top Coat is around 12 euros per component.

For pure care routines without workshop tools, Leather Colour is overkill — there, Leather Fresh (Citroën) is sufficient. For spot repairs on the steering wheel or individual cracks, Fluid Leather or the Leather Care Sets (Citroën) are more economical. However, if you want to restore entire seat bolsters, steering wheels, or door panels and value original Citroën colour fidelity, the 1-litre bottle or 250 ml container is indispensable.
