Learning About ColourLock with Lars Pickhardt & Ram Iyer - Part 1

[@BuildingTheEXOCET]

I just spent 40 minutes watching a lecture on leather and leather care and I don't own a vehicle with leather and I hate leather. But I was so impressed with their knowledge I couldn't shut it off

Colourlock is really good stuff. These guys know what they're doing.

[@Jetbill007]

I now have a large Colourlock box here sitting on my desk thanks to this video.

[@MilesDrive]

Great to see Ram at OGHQ. I find the team at Colourlock UK very helpful, and have a great product line.

[@adeelcyril3339]

This is a fascinating video Matt. So much info condensed into this video. We can all benefit from these products in some manner or form. Content is king!

[@donaldgreen9292]

first time hearing of this company. my favorite content of yours is the conversation with these companies and tours of the facilities.

[@victoroladele2757]

I'm a technician formally working with Color Glo International but now working with another company using Colourlock product for leather repairs and restoration and I must say... Colourlock product is the best so far

[@Niebelheim]

I have seen Ram and Lars on The Forensic Detailing Channel too. The amount of knowledge they have is just mindblowing. Colourlock make some really good products. I've been using them for a few years now.

[@annagraham6204]

Never trust guys with ram and hard in their names.

[@paulhawkins95]

I’ve watched both parts twice and still feel I need to watch this more. The amount of knowledge and information they have is incredible. Fantastic video

[@matthewchaston1218]

This video was legit. Well done Matt for this creating this video and making this happen. Fascinating level of detail is in video.

[@DevonRegan]

I’ve been reading detail forums for better part of 10 years and this is the first time I’ve heard a fact based explanation of why you still need to condition coated leather. The discussion of increased permeability over time was fascinating. The idea of treating leather differently year 1-3 vs 3+ makes so much sense I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

[@craigwilliams1928]

I’ve been down to these guys in the Uk and bought these products for my own car They could not have been more helpful and talked me through every aspect and took time to colour match to my exact requirements I’m not trade just a regular car enthusiast Take your time and follow everything to the letter and you can get exactly the same result

[@paulfarmer6498]

These gentlemen were awesome! So honest and knowledgeable. They didn’t say oh you need every single one of our products. Some products can be used on multiple surfaces if needed.

[@maxburg4817]

Use this gear a lot and it’s fantastic and love the matt factory look the cleaner gives.

[@MrWhiteguy6]

Those 40 minutes flew by fast. Great video, lots of knowledge shared.

[@eliteowner121]

Matt, this will be an interesting comparison to something like leatherique. They’ve been doing it for years too. Curious to see your thoughts in PT 2 and hopefully you can share some insights comparing both.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

what a great video. I have been using this product for a while and it is fantastic👍. Well done Mat for getting the guys along

[@waynefromcanada]

This is an awesome video. A great explanation of how to care for the leather in your car. (I think I will watch this one a few times!)

[@KelvyGoveo]

WOW. great video Matt, thank you so much for this. I was impressed with your visit to Meguiars HQ. But man these guys are the real deal. Waiting for Part #2!

[@Thkfast]

I smile every time the German says, "Yah?" So excellent!

[@danonmorey2058]

I use their colourlock brush on my interior speed cloth and my floor mats. I love it

[@NealSinghHTX]

Possibly one of my favorite OG episodes to date. Along with the CSL+Exo on the Audi. Loads of information for free.

[@robertcaputo1430]

Great thorough video. Ordered a kit for my MB vegan leather. Can’t wait to try it ! Thx

[@Ohjustyoshi]

I would love to see some leather restoration using the dye. The Rotbraun in my BMW could really use it. Hopefully either you or TRC do a video on this!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Part 2 we dye the steering wheel.

[@TomB1988]

Awesome. You've smashed it out the park again by getting the best of the best to talk to you. My steering wheel needs some work and I'm also interested in the alacantara products and the vinyl stuff for my dashboard. Thanks for sharing, Matt. Look forward to the next episode.

[@TheGallo820]

I like how this channel is expanding into different departments

[@PaulVolcko]

I'm 8 minutes in and I'm hooked. Great content and knowledge!

[@HammerPowered]

Very insightful. Always down to get new knowledge, especially since 2 of my 3 trucks have leather interiors in them.

[@Piglet6256]

Im picking up that same t-shirt from the post office tomorrow, took only like 2 weeks to arrive in The Netherlands :)

[@chrisroberts9197]

This was great to listen too. Very informative. I guess its time to invest more into the colourlock line. Since i bought my 2015 ford f150 lariat last year I've been cleaning my leather with woolite diluted to 5:1(the one without all the fragrant crap in it) and a colourlock brush and wiping it dry with a terry weave microfiber towel.

[@KenseisGarage]

Man, great stuff Matt, can’t wait for part 2, saw them once featured on Pan’s channel. This is good stuff from what I have seen. 👍👌

[@vtecaccord96]

Damn, this conversation makes you think twice about ceramic coating leather now. Great information!

[@jamesgray541]

Really looking forward to the next episode , best detailing channel by far 👌

[@AdrianHN97]

I’m sold on Colourlock, terrific job guys!

[@danmorrissette4814]

This is Great~! Super knowledgeable People ,Learned a ton and i work leather !! ;-) cant wait for the part 2 video!!

[@COHE]

Colourlock is the very good. Used regularly with leather shield will keep leather pretty much perfect.

[@romaingallard8385]

Really like colourlock! A SwissVax detailer introduced me to it 8 years ago when I was in France. Since then, anything I’ve tried doesn’t come close to their leather cleaner and conditioner!

[@05AcuraRSXtypeS]

Looked on your site, couldnt find this stuff on there... is it in the works? I would feel dirty buying off amazon with all the free knowledge I have gotten from you. As always thanks for the great vid. I did get a good laugh when he said "its a patience game", I guess they have seen the last six videos on the M5 and are trying to hint at something ;)

[@sphession]

Really good info in this! can't wait for part 2..

[@user-jt3nf7in5w]

ColourLock is about to blow up. I’ve heard of them before but never tried any of their products, always went to swissvax stuff and sonax

[@miaep3]

Can’t wait for part two. But lots of good info.

[@sunilraj7692]

That was a great video. Very educational!

[@thatteslacouple]

I used this on our Model Y Performance. Great product

[@maxburg4817]

I love watching leather being cleaned to that original matt factory finish and the before and after results. I just can’t stomach shiny leather man...

[@ashishpatel350]

This is some good stuff.

[@harleydavidson4254]

A long but very interesting video. Good to see that they spell Colour correctly (Americans take note and check out the spelling of harbour, centre, aluminium etc in the Oxford English Dictionary)😀

[@jdmkidk24]

I love continuing to learn car care with the best products and my wife’s car has leather and I want to trash the leather products I have

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Would like to hear them how to know which leather or vinyl I have in my car or search any website of manufacturers to know which product to use

[@rickbooth31]

Matt - I saw your video on Leatherique and now the videos on the Colourlock products. I have cream colored leather in my 1997 car that need some help (feels dried out). Which product would you choose?

[@DevonRegan]

Damn, such good knowledge from these guys.

[@ilya4759]

Does this "shield" product help new leather extend its "three years of freshness" ? Or will the leather end up needing the conditioner after three years regardless of treatments?

[@mariodesmo]

I'm with you there! I like watching someone detail a nice car, but I hate doing it for myself. lol This is timely, as I have two cars at about 3 years of age with leather interiors that needs a little attention. One has a drivers seat that is getting a bit too shiny for my taste. Looking forward to the next videos on this! PS: What would they recommend for protection against methane gas (with hydrogen sulfide gas)?

[@fernm7379]

Would you recommend this over swissvax for Merino leather ?

[@eurospec905]

Man this content is invaluable to the community - thanks for a great informative video. From the looks of it ... -Swissvax leather cleaner = colourlock mild leather cleaner -Swissvax leather cleaner forte = colourlock strong leather cleaner -Leather cleaning brush looks identical from both companies I’m unsure if Swissvax leather glaze = colourlock leather shield or colourlock leather protector and where Swissvax leather milk comes into play? If Colourlock manufacture the products for Swissvax and they’re the same products but different packaging it begs the question how Matt will set up the leather maintenance portion of the interior package now

[@ObsessedGarage]

The Swissvax cleaners are their own formula not Colourlocks. The brush and Leather Creme is sourced from them.

[@eurospec905]

Obsessed Garage by leather creme you mean leather milk? Will you be carrying the Swissvax Leather Glaze?

[@agpatel21]

Obsessed Garage Think Milk is also SV formula, the repair and glaze/shield is from CL.

[@Jeff-fd2rz]

I've used this product on my BMW with leather and it worked very well and left a nice matte finish. Based on the video, I guess I would need the Artificial leather kit for my wife's Mercedes with MB-Tex leather interior. It would be interesting to see a comparison of ColourLock and Swissvax Leather care kit.

[@Ohjustyoshi]

It's the same stuff. CL manufactures it for Swissvax

[@larspickhardt2982]

MB-Tex is vinyl so Jeff you are right to use the artificial leather care kit.

[@Boogetsbizzy]

So I can use leather shield on vinyl materials right?

[@Schwabz33]

OG I don’t see colorlock kits on the OG site. Just Swiss- did something Change? I did not want to order it from another company

[@cobra454tim]

So my brother-in-law has that king ranch leather and it’s beautiful leather but it’s so finicky, and I wasn’t sure what we could really put on his leather for him and I didn’t want to recommend like Gyeon’s product line such as their cleaner... Now the information on the brushes that was very interesting, at least for my leather on my Subaru I’ve always used something like the creature with Gyeon’s leather cleaner and I just use that to clean my leather because I don’t let it get too dirty to where I really need to have a brush but I’m going to try that brush theory unfortunately I have some chemical guys leather protectant left over🤦‍♂️

[@Piglet6256]

water vapor permeability or water/liquid permeability? Cos im pretty sure we dont need gasses to penetrate the leather but liquids like condtioners / cleaners. Cos if i farth which happens in traffic jams I dont want my gasses to reach the leather necessarily :D, And yes that grandma cover on your steering wheel is a fabric, no leather :P. I did know that, but learned a lot in this video. it was informative!!!! good job

[@larryvelezbx]

I wish I would have been able to ask these guys their opinion on the coming synthetic leather companies like Modern Meadow who are producing biological synthetic leather which is indistinguishable from cow leather but never came from a cow. They produce it from the cells up. Super interesting stuff and I think the future of leather and eventually the future of edible meat.

You can't go wrong with Colourlock, believe me. Nothing else is ever used on my expensive leather couches. German quality all around

[@Antimatter.]

This stuff seems similar to swissvax leather care kit , I very interested and will buy a kit to try out .

[@stevenpower3780]

ColourLock produce the Leather cleaner and the Leather Care for SW in Switzerland they are located in the same Building 😉

[@Antimatter.]

Steven Power Oh Ok ! When Matt spilled some out it reminded me of the SV leather milk , I really like that stuff but it’s pricey , the CL seems to be more reasonable, I Buy my products from Matt so when he gets it I will buy it

[@ObsessedGarage]

They do not produce the cleaner for Swissvax.

[@Jeeper1378]

How about compared to ceramic coating leather seats? Part #2 NOW 😂

[@orangemarley5086]

Can you follow the same steps when you own a car with synthetic leather?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Similar steps. They have a kit for that application.

[@AN-ce1nd]

Nothing penetrates top coated automotive leather period. Edited my previous comment. Didn’t mean to disparage anyone. Simply, it’s coated for durability to protect against normal wear and tear.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Lars is one of the world's authority on leather care.
