On light, surface-dyed smooth leather or synthetic leather, discolouration caused by jeans, belts, bags or pens may occur. If this discolouration is not removed immediately by cleaning, the dyes penetrate the surface. GLD Solvent is a solvent that can be used to attempt the removal of such discolouration when gentler cleaners have been unsuccessful.

Trusted quality in a new design: You previously knew this product as Colourlock GLD-Lösung ND. We have revised the item to provide you with even better service.

Description

GLD is an excellent cleaner for stubborn discolouration caused, for example, by jeans, belts, bags or pens on pigmented smooth leather and synthetic leather. It gradually dissolves the surface and thus removes dyes that have penetrated the top coat or colour layer.

Application

Please read the notes below carefully before each application!

Before using GLD solution, first try cleaning with Leather Cleaner strong.

If this attempt is unsuccessful, apply a little GLD Solvent to a microfibre cloth and carefully clean the surface using light pressure. Some surfaces can be easily «dissolved» (furniture leather), while others react less strongly to GLD (automotive leather, synthetic leather).

CAUTION: Careless use of GLD Solvent can quickly make the problem worse.

Using GLD Solvent dissolves the upper leather colour layer. When attempting to remove discolouration, some leather colour may also be dissolved. You can then see the discolouration on the cloth. It is important to be careful not to remove the colour layer completely. If colour is removed or the discolouration cannot be removed completely, these areas must be re-tinted with the matching Leather Fresh. Before cleaning with GLD Solvent, roughened areas should be smoothed with the Leather Polishing Pad 4000 grit.

In most cases, GLD Solution is sufficient and no colour adjustment is required. The stronger the discolouration, the less likely it is that the work can be completed without a colour adjustment using Leather Fresh. Synthetic leather is more difficult to clean than leather.

To prevent further colour transfer, the surfaces should be protected regularly with Leather Shield. Among other things, this product reduces the penetration of dyes into the surfaces. As a precaution, all contact surfaces that have not yet been affected should also be treated with this sealant. Always clean all surfaces first with Leather Cleaner mild or strong.
