Protect your leather from dye staining and friction damage with Colourlock Leather Shield surface Protector.
Having problems with staining or discolouration on your leather sofa, car seat, bags or accessories? Want to protect your new leather furniture or the leather interior in your new car? Colourlock Leather Shield Protector offers an easy and safe way to prevent dye or colour staining from materials like denim and newsprint, from penetrating the surface of leather and also helps to reduce wear and friction damage on leather surfaces.
How does it work? Leather Shield buffers against friction damage by modifying the surface of the top coat polymers with tiny (100 Nanometre) particles and additives, effectively creating a high tech barrier between the surface and friction causing articles. It forms a barrier to reduce clothing dye and sweat migration into light coloured leather surfaces.
Colourlock Leather Shield Protector is NOT a leather cleaner – use it BEFORE the leather surface gets dirty or damaged and AFTER CLEANING to create a protective barrier and reduce soiling and damage. This does not mean that cleaning becomes unnecessary, but it will be more effective and cleaning products can be less aggressive and still achieve good results. Leather Shield Protector is a leather care product that will need to be re-applied on a regular basis and after any cleaning process. As with all leather care products applied to leather or any other material, the Leather Shield Protector must be pre-tested in an inconspicuous area. Apply with a clean lint-free cloth, gently wiping the leather protector over a clean, dust-free surface with circular movements to ensure an even coverage of the whole surface.
