COLOURLOCK Nubuk Fresh for Renault: specialized suede and velour leather care

What is COLOURLOCK Nubuk Fresh for Renault? — Specialized suede and nubuck care preserves the texture and color of rough natural leathers in Renault interiors — specially developed for velour, nubuck, and Alcantara.

COLOURLOCK Nubuk Fresh (Renault) is a special care color for rough-textured suede, nubuck, and velour surfaces in Renault leather interiors. Unlike Leather Colour or Leather Fresh, Nubuk Fresh is not intended for smooth pigmented leather — the formulation is designed to preserve the fine fiber structure of suede and prevent matting.

• Suede-specific – Specially formulated for rough-textured natural leathers.
• Preserves velour appearance – Prevents matting or smoothing of the fibers.
• Original Renault colors – Factory-accurate pigmentation for seamless care.

💡 Practical Tip Detailing1 Workshop: We often see the same user error with Renault suede seats — customers treat the suede with normal smooth leather care, which then mats the fibers and makes them look flattened. With Nubuk Fresh (Renault) and a fine brass brush in 5 minutes of care, the typical velour look is preserved. After drying, lightly brush again — the fibers will then stand up softly.

Brush dry, spray, work in with the grain

Nubuk Fresh (Renault) is sprayed evenly onto the suede from a distance of 20–30 cm with a spray bottle and worked into the grain with a soft brush. After drying, brush again for the typical velour look.

Before care, the suede is dry-brushed with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush to remove dust and ingrained dirt. Then, it is wet-cleaned with a special suede cleaner and allowed to dry completely. Only then is Nubuk Fresh (Renault) sprayed from a distance of 20–30 cm — avoid puddles, distribute immediately.

The color is worked into the grain with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush until the pigmentation is evenly distributed. After 30–45 minutes of drying, the leather is lightly brushed again so that the fibers stand up and the typical velvety-matte velour look is created. A 250 ml bottle is sufficient for approximately 4–5 care applications on mid-range vehicles with Alcantara steering wheels and suede seats.

Suede and velour yes, smooth leather no

Nubuk Fresh (Renault) is exclusively for rough-textured natural leathers — suede, nubuck, velour, and Alcantara. Pigmented Renault smooth leathers are treated with Leather Colour or Leather Fresh.

The special carrier solution with finely pigmented dyes combines with the rough fiber structure without matting or weighing it down. On smooth pigmented leather, Nubuk Fresh would adhere unevenly because the typical fiber structure is missing — the care would appear patchy instead of even. On aniline leather, the fiber would not be sufficiently protected; here, aniline-specific COLOURLOCK lines are needed.

If the Renault vehicle has genuine suede seats, Alcantara steering wheel, or velour door panels, Nubuk Fresh is the only correct care. If, on the other hand, the interior consists of pigmented smooth leather, Leather Fresh (Renault) or Leather Colour (Renault) is used. In the case of mixed equipment (suede seats, smooth leather doors), both products are used in parallel.

For suede seats and Alcantara steering wheels

Nubuk Fresh (Renault) is the care solution for owners and detailers with genuine suede or Alcantara components — applied every 6–12 months, it keeps the leather permanently velvety and colorfast.

Suede and velour leather get dirty faster than smooth leather and fade more under UV light. The care routine every 6–12 months prevents deep penetration of dirt and protects the fibers from permanent fading. For heavily used vehicles or family cars, a 3-month cycle is also worthwhile. One application takes about 45 minutes per pair of seats, including brushing and drying — costs per application are around 6 euros in material costs.

For pigmented smooth leather components in the same vehicle, Leather Fresh (Renault) is used — both products complement each other in the workflow. Those looking for a complete care bundle for suede and smooth leather can also check out the Leather Care Set (Renault), which contains both components.

Available Renault Colors (Selection)

Care instructions for suede care (Renault):

Nubuk Fresh (Renault) is exclusively for rough-textured natural leather – suede, nubuck, velour, and Alcantara. Pigmented Renault smooth leather is treated with Leather Colour or Leather Fresh.

The special carrier solution with finely pigmented dyes binds with the rough fiber structure without gluing or weighing it down. On smooth pigmented leather, Nubuk Fresh would adhere unevenly because the typical fiber structure is missing – the care would appear blotchy instead of even. On aniline leather, the fiber would not be sufficiently protected; here, aniline-specific COLOURLOCK lines are needed.

If the Renault vehicle has genuine suede seats, an Alcantara steering wheel, or velour door panels, Nubuk Fresh is the only correct care product. If the interior, however, consists of pigmented smooth leather, Leather Fresh (Renault) or Leather Colour (Renault) is used. In the case of mixed upholstery (suede seats, smooth leather doors), both products are used in parallel.
