Colourlock Discusses Leather Shine in New Blog Post

London, UK, JAN 9, 2016 – Leather shoes love gloss, but car interiors, not so much. People like to have different degrees of gloss on  leather items (a personal preference) but also it depends on the purpose of the leather item. In order to educate consumers about the care of leather, Colourlock (www.colourlock.com) has just published a new blog post entitled 'Gloss or matt?'

The article discusses ‘how to alter gloss or matt finish on leather. When polished, leather becomes shiny. This can also happen with daily use due to repeated friction in an area which will become glossier.' Or 'if the original finish of the leather was matt, one might want to bring the surface to its former dull look.' 

The article states that ‘to remove some gloss from pigmented leather we recommend cleaning the surface with Colourlock Strong Leather Cleaner and a Colourlock Leather Cleaning Brush. This process will take some of the gloss off. If cleaning the leather brought it to the desired degree of dullness, they advise to applying Colourlock Leather Protector to maintain the leather and retain the finish.’

“If you are attempting to do this yourself,” stated a Colourlock spokesperson, “it is very important to follow the instruction for each product, and the process as explained to ensure achieving a good result.” 

The article further discusses how 'If one still needs to bring down the shine on a leather item, they should degrease the surface using Colourlock Leather Cleaning Spirit after the cleaning process indicated before. The cleaning spirit will dull the surface of the leather completely, so it might be necessary to use the Colourlock Leather Protector or Colourlock Leather Shield (for newer leather) to bring some of the gloss back. Make sure not to buff or polish the surface when applying this products as that would make the surface glossier.'

Colourlock UK and Ireland provides trusted professional leather cleaning services for most leather items, especially furniture and automobile fittings. The company uses proprietary cleaning solutions that are gentle to leather but tough on stains.
