How to maintain your car leather

Even though leather is a tough material, it is still prone to wear and tear, especially under the scorching hot sun and humid weather in Singapore. 

We head over to ColourLock Singapore to see just how the professionals take care of car leather.

ColourLock Top Life Lite can be applied at home with an application sponge

Cleans your spills and stains with a leather cleaner

The first thing you need to do to protect your leather, is to prevent spills from beverages and staining from foodstuffs.

But accidents do happen. And if you do get any foodstuffs on your leather, it is pertinent you get any contamination off as quickly and completely as possible. Here, ColourLock Singapore recommends you use a leather cleaner such as the ColourLock Mild Leather Cleaner instead of using a damp cloth. This cleaner helps to remove any stains and dirt that might otherwise still stick to the surface of the leather, and has the advantage over a damp cloth as it ensures that the leather does not become wet, which could lead to it becoming hard after it dries.

ColourLock Singapore recommends you use the ColourLock Leather Cleaning Brush, and to work with a circular motion from seam to seam to remove any ingrained dirt, and to apply a care product after cleaning to protect against general wear and future staining.

ColourLock Singapore offers leather repair and restoration services, all performed with the utmost care

Maintain the luxurious look and feel of your leather seats

Even without contamination from foodstuffs, prolonged exposure to heat or high humidity will see leather upholstery cracking or fading.

Without proper care and protection, leather will lose its shine, and when worn out, will not only make your car look aged, but also won't be able to offer the same supple feel. ColourLock Singapore thus recommends its Top Life Lite for vehicle owners here in Singapore.

ColourLock Top Life Lite is a finishing topcoat that works almost like how a ceramic coating works to protect the exterior paint of a car. It will give your leather added protection from general soiling and help to prevent dye transfers from your clothing. And most importantly for vehicles here in Singapore, Top Life Lite also offers protection from UV radiation, helping to slow leather degradation and discoloration.
