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

THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „LeatherTexClean“ — leather & textile cleaner for stain-free seats & panels

What do I use LeatherTexClean for? — This targeted leather & textile cleaner lifts body oils, denim transfer and drink stains gently from coated leather and fabric, dries off cleanly and sets the perfect base for the care and protection that follows – in the car and on board.

THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean leather & textile cleaner is your precise spot and surface cleaner for seats, side bolsters, door inlays and fabric covers. The balanced surfactant mix lifts oils and pigments in a controlled way, so you pull dirt safely into the cloth instead of smearing it around. In automotive interiors it works colour-stable and residue-free; on the water it removes salt film and sunscreen from fabric and coated leather. As a system block it backs up InsideUp (all-round cleaning) and preps leather perfectly for LeatherLock, and textiles for TexLock/CoverGuard.

• Spot-on stain removal: lifts body oils, denim transfer, coffee/soft drinks and light everyday dirt without changing the feel.
• Gentle & controlled: pH-balanced, fine-pore foam, short flash-off time; ideal for coated leather and tough textiles.
• System fit: perfect prep for LeatherLock (leather care) and TexLock/CoverGuard (textile protection); noticeably cuts down on re-soiling.

Leather cleaner – coated leather, seams & colour transfer

Leather cleaners like THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean leather & textile cleaner work with mild, low-solvent surfactants that lift oils and dyes out of the structure without softening the coating. Spray onto the cloth, or for heavier dirt lightly onto the panel, work it into the grain with a soft leather brush and wipe straight off with the fresh microfibre side. With denim transfer you feel your way in small sections; you only step up the pressure once the colour visibly gives. Not suitable for open-pore aniline or nubuck/suede. After cleaning, let it dry and care for it with LeatherLock so the feel and colour depth stay stable and new dirt has a harder time sticking.

Textile cleaner – treat seats, carpet & Alcantara with care

Textile cleaners built on controlled foam like THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean leather & textile cleaner work best after a thorough vacuum. Treat stains from the outside in, let them break up briefly, lift with a textile brush or fibre pad and take them up with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Keep it from over-wetting so you don't get water marks. On Alcantara use a minimal dose only, spray into a corner of the cloth and work fibre-friendly with a very soft brush; then dab dry. Once it's fully dry you finish with TexLock or CoverGuard for a protective, „easy-to-clean“ topcoat – especially worth it on heavily used seats and walk-in zones.

Automotive & marine – routine, compatibility & results

Automotive & marine differ in the load, not the steps: clean → dry → care/protect. In the car THE FINISHER LeatherTexClean leather & textile cleaner is your step for targeted leather and fabric spots when InsideUp as an all-rounder isn't enough. On the boat you take salt film and sunscreen off fabric and coated leather; large vinyl areas belong with VinylTexClean instead and are conditioned afterwards with VinylGuard. Keep it off hot surfaces and out of direct sun, never let the chemistry dry on and work panel by panel. The result: clean, matte leather with no greasy shine and fresh textiles with no marks – perfectly prepped for long-lasting care and protective layers.

Common questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „LeatherTexClean“ — leather & textile cleaner

Is LeatherTexClean suitable for all leather types?

For coated/sealed smooth leather, yes. Please rule out open-pore aniline and nubuck/suede. Always test in a hidden spot and care for it with LeatherLock after cleaning.

Can I clean Alcantara with it?

Yes, but very carefully: minimal dose, onto the cloth, move it gently with a soft brush and dab dry. No over-wetting, no rubbing, always run a test patch.

How do I remove denim transfer?

Work small areas: product onto the cloth, lift into the grain with a leather brush, take it off straight away with a clean cloth side. Only step up the pressure if the colour visibly gives; then apply LeatherLock.

Do I need a wet vac?

Not for normal stains. For deep textile dirt a wet vac can help pull residue out after you've broken it up. Always wet moderately to avoid water marks.

Is the product suitable for marine use?

Yes, for fabric and coated leather in the cabin and cockpit. Salt and sunscreen residue lifts off well. Please clean vinyl with VinylTexClean and protect it with VinylGuard.
