COLOURLOCK Degreaser — solvent-free degreaser for leather

What is COLOURLOCK Degreaser for? — The solvent-free degreaser gently pulls skin oils, dirt films and product residue off leather and improves adhesion for repairs, dyeing and sealing.

COLOURLOCK Degreaser is an effective, solvent-free degreaser for prepping leather and faux leather before repairs, colour refreshes or sealing. It reliably lifts skin oils, dirt films, leftover care product and light oil traces — especially on high-contact spots like seat bolsters, steering wheels, armrests, furniture edges, bags or grab zones. The formula is strong but gentle, so it works on more delicate leather too without drying out or damaging the material.

• Solvent-free degreasing – Lifts oils & residue without stressing the leather.
• Dials in adhesion – Perfect prep for filler, colour and top coat.
• Works across the board – Suits automotive, furniture, fashion & accessory leather.

Degreasing technology & how it works

Degreaser uses modern surfactants that pull oils and polymer residue out of the leather surface without attacking the coating. On spots that take a beating from skin contact, a thorough degrease is what makes or breaks the job: filler, colour and top coat only hold long-term on grease-free surfaces. The Degreaser flashes off streak-free, leaves no residue and gives you an even, well-keying surface.

Application, lay-down & best practices

Before you start, give the leather a rough clean. You apply Degreaser sparingly to a cloth or pad and work it into the surface under control. Loosened oils and residue get picked up or wiped off with a clean cloth. On heavily loaded spots you can go over it again. The key bit: let the leather dry fully before you lay down filler, binder or colour. That gives you a perfect keying base for a repair or colour finish that lasts.

Results, uses & benefits

After treatment the surface comes up clean, matte and fully degreased. Degreaser is ideal for automotive interiors, furniture, bags, shoes and accessories — anywhere oils and residue could drag down repair quality. It's not a stain remover for oils soaked deep into the leather, but a pro prep tool for reliable leather restoration.

Common questions about COLOURLOCK Degreaser

Can I use Degreaser on all leather types?

On pigmented leather and many faux leathers, yes. Not suitable for aniline or suede leather.

Does Degreaser remove deep oil stains?

No, only surface oils. Deep oil stains need specialist products.

Why does degreasing matter so much before repairs?

Oils block adhesion. Filler & colour only hold reliably on a clean, matte surface.

Can I use Degreaser before dyeing?

Yes, it's actually recommended for the best colour bond.

Does Degreaser attack the colour?

No, it's solvent-free and very gentle on the material.
