Koch-Chemie × THE FINISHER THE FINISHER "LeatherTexClean" Leather and Textile Cleaner 500ml

THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „LeatherTexClean“ — Leather & Textile Cleaner for Stain-Free Seats & Panels

What do I use LeatherTexClean for? — The targeted leather and textile cleaner gently dissolves skin oils, denim discoloration, and drink stains from coated leather and textiles, dries cleanly, and creates the perfect base for subsequent care and protection – both in the car and on board.

THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean Leather & Textile Cleaner is your precise spot and surface cleaner for seats, bolsters, door inlays, and fabric covers. Its balanced surfactant blend dissolves fats and pigments in a controlled manner, allowing you to effectively lift dirt into the cloth instead of smearing it. In automotive interiors, it works color-stable and residue-free; in marine applications, it removes salt and sunscreen residues from fabric and coated leather. As a system component, it complements InsideUp (all-purpose cleaning) and optimally prepares leather for LeatherLock and textiles for TexLock/CoverGuard.

• Targeted Stain Removal: Dissolves skin oils, denim transfer, coffee/soft drinks, and light everyday dirt without altering the feel.
• Gentle & Controlled: pH-balanced, fine-pored foam formation, short flash-off time; ideal for coated leather and durable textiles.
• System Fit: Perfect pre-treatment for LeatherLock (leather care) and TexLock/CoverGuard (textile protection); significantly reduces new soiling.

Leather Cleaner – Coated Leather, Seams & Color Transfer

Leather cleaners like THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean Leather & Textile Cleaner work with mild, low-solvent surfactants that lift fats and dyes from the structure without dissolving the coating. Spray onto a cloth or, for heavier soiling, lightly onto the surface, work into the grain with a soft leather brush, and immediately wipe off with a fresh microfiber side. For denim discoloration, approach in small sections; only increase pressure if the color visibly gives way. Not suitable for open-pore aniline or nubuck/suede. After cleaning, allow to dry and treat with LeatherLock to maintain stability of feel and color depth, and to make new soiling adhere less readily.

Textile Cleaner – Treat Seats, Carpets & Alcantara Carefully

Textile cleaners based on controlled foaming, like THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean Leather & Textile Cleaner, work most effectively after thorough vacuuming. Treat stains from the outside in, allow to loosen briefly, lift with a textile brush or fiber pad, and absorb with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Consistently avoid over-wetting to prevent watermarks. For Alcantara, apply sparingly, spray into a corner of the cloth, and work gently with a very soft brush to protect the fibers; then blot dry. After complete drying, apply TexLock or CoverGuard for a protective, "easy-to-clean" finish – especially useful on heavily used seating surfaces and high-traffic areas.

Automotive & Marine – Routine, Compatibility & Results

Automotive & Marine differ in stress, not in process: clean → dry → care/protect. In the car, THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean Leather & Textile Cleaner is your step for targeted leather and fabric areas when InsideUp as an all-rounder is not enough. On boats, you remove salt film and sunscreen from fabric and coated leather; large vinyl surfaces, however, belong to VinylTexClean and are then conditioned with VinylGuard. Avoid hot surfaces and direct sunlight, never let chemicals dry, and work section by section. The result: noticeably clean, matte leather surfaces without shine and fresh textiles without watermarks – ideally prepared for long-lasting care and protective layers.

Frequently Asked Questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „LeatherTexClean“ — Leather & Textile Cleaner

Is LeatherTexClean suitable for all leather types?

Yes, for coated/sealed smooth leather. Please exclude open-pore aniline and nubuck/suede. Always test in an inconspicuous area and treat with LeatherLock after cleaning.

Can I clean Alcantara with it?

Yes, but very carefully: apply minimally, put on a cloth, gently move with a soft brush, and blot dry. No over-wetting, no rubbing, always test in an inconspicuous area.

How do I remove denim discoloration?

Work in small areas: apply product to a cloth, use a leather brush to work into the grain, immediately remove with a clean side of the cloth. Only increase pressure if the color visibly gives way; then apply LeatherLock.

Yes, for fabric and coated leather in the cabin and cockpit. Salt/sunscreen residues can be dissolved well. Please clean vinyl with VinylTexClean and protect with VinylGuard.
