COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Ford: specialized suede and velour leather care

What is COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh for Ford? — This specialized suede and nubuck care maintains the texture and color of rough natural leathers in Ford interiors — specially developed for velour, nubuck, and Alcantara.

COLOURLOCK Nubuck Fresh (Ford) is a special care dye for rough-textured suede, nubuck, and velour surfaces in Ford leather interiors. Unlike Leather Colour or Leather Fresh, Nubuck Fresh is not intended for smooth pigmented leather — the formulation is designed to preserve the fine fiber structure of suede and prevent it from sticking together.

• Suede-specific – Specially formulated for rough-textured natural leathers.
• Preserves velour appearance – Prevents fibers from sticking or smoothing down.
• Original Ford colors – Factory-matched pigmentation for seamless care.

💡 Pro tip from Detailing1 workshop: With Ford suede seats, we often see the same user mistake — customers treat the suede with normal smooth leather care, which then causes the fibers to stick together and look flattened. With Nubuck Fresh (Ford) and a fine brass brush in a 5-minute treatment, the typical velour look is preserved. After drying, lightly brush again — then the fibers will stand up again, soft to the touch.

Brush dry, spray, work in the direction of the fibers

Nubuk Fresh (Ford) is sprayed evenly onto the suede from a distance of 20–30 cm with a spray bottle and worked in with a soft brush in the direction of the fibers. After drying, brush again for the typical velour look.

Before treatment, the suede is brushed dry with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush to remove dust and stubborn dirt. Afterwards, it is cleaned wet with a special suede cleaner and allowed to dry completely. Only then is Nubuk Fresh (Ford) sprayed from a distance of 20–30 cm — no puddles, spread immediately.

The color is worked in with a soft suede brush or fine brass brush in the direction of the fibers until the pigmentation is evenly distributed. After 30–45 minutes of drying, the leather is lightly brushed again so that the fibers stand up and the typical soft, matte velour look is created. A 250 ml bottle is sufficient for about 4–5 treatment applications for mid-range vehicles with Alcantara steering wheels and suede seats.

Suede and velour yes, smooth leather no

Nubuk Fresh (Ford) is exclusively for rough-textured natural leathers — suede, nubuck, velour, and Alcantara. Pigmented Ford smooth leathers are treated with Leather Colour or Leather Fresh.

The special carrier solution with finely pigmented dyes combines with the rough fiber structure without sticking or weighing it down. On smooth pigmented leather, Nubuck Fresh would adhere unevenly because the typical fiber structure is missing — the care would appear patchy instead of even. On aniline leather, the fiber would not be sufficiently protected; here, aniline-specific COLOURLOCK lines are needed.

If the Ford vehicle has genuine suede seats, an Alcantara steering wheel, or velour door panels, Nubuck Fresh is the only correct care. If the interior, on the other hand, consists of pigmented smooth leather, Leather Fresh (Ford) or Leather Colour (Ford) is used. For mixed equipment (suede seats, smooth leather doors), both products are used in parallel.

For suede seats and Alcantara steering wheels

Nubuk Fresh (Ford) is the care solution for owners and detailers with genuine suede or Alcantara components — applied every 6–12 months, it keeps the leather permanently soft and color-stable.

Suede and velour leather get dirty faster than smooth leather and fade more under UV light. The care routine every 6–12 months prevents deep penetration of dirt and protects the fibers from permanent fading. For heavily used vehicles or family cars, a 3-month cycle is also worthwhile. One application takes about 45 minutes per pair of seats, including brushing and drying — costs per application are around 6 euros in material costs.

For pigmented smooth leather components in the same vehicle, Leather Fresh (Ford) is used — both products complement each other in the workflow. Those looking for a complete care bundle for suede and smooth leather can also check out the Leather Care Set (Ford), which contains both components.

Available Ford Colors (Selection)

Dark Ivy Green Metallic, Biscuit, Black, Blue, Charcoal Black, Cognac, Ebony, Ice Stone, Light Stone, Windsor Black, Belmont, Ceramic, Espresso, Rouge Noir, Light Sand, Derby Tan, Gray, Hazelnut, Black Ruby, Louis Verona Saddle (artificial leather), Cashmere, Java, Oasis, Dark Grey
