COLOURLOCK Wax Slip — Top Coat Additive for Waxy, Naturally Grippy Leather Surfaces

What does COLOURLOCK Wax Slip do? — The additive gives COLOURLOCK Top Coats a waxy, grippy-matte feel and creates a natural, slightly waxy OEM finish for leather and artificial leather surfaces.

COLOURLOCK Wax Slip is the special additive for COLOURLOCK Top Coats when a waxy, slightly grippy and naturally matte surface is desired. Many modern automotive leathers, furniture leathers, and interior leathers have precisely this subtle, waxy-grippy feel, which makes repairs appear particularly authentic. Wax Slip specifically changes the surface energy of the Top Coat, thus creating a finish that does not feel smooth or shiny, but rather pleasantly rich, natural, and high-quality.

• Waxy Feel – Provides grippy, natural surfaces like those found in modern OEM automotive leathers.
• Haptic Optimization in Finish – Ideal for leather that should consciously appear less smooth.
• Combinable with Top Coat Additives – Works with Duller, Crosslinker & Soft Slip.

Haptics & Wax Film Technology in the Top Coat

Wax Slip is based on fine, structure-forming wax additives that remain embedded in the top layer when the Top Coat dries. This creates a grippy-matte, slightly waxy surface, typical of modern matted leather types. The additives modify the microstructure of the lacquer without affecting its opacity. The leather appears less smooth, gains a rich feel, and reflects light more naturally. Especially for repairs on steering wheels, seating surfaces, armrests, or furniture areas, an extremely authentic OEM finish can be achieved.

Mixing, Application & Best Practices for Authentic Haptics

Wax Slip is mixed directly into the COLOURLOCK Top Coat. The dosage determines the degree of wax grip: a small amount of additive results in a subtle feel, while more additive creates a more pronounced, rich grip. After thorough mixing, the modified Top Coat is applied as usual with a spray gun, airbrush, or sponge. In combination with Duller (for matte), Soft Slip (for softer), or Crosslinker CD (for more durable), the final finish can be precisely matched to the original leather. Even application is important so that the haptics remain harmonious across the entire surface.

Results, Areas of Application & Distinction from Soft Slip / Duller

After drying, a slightly grippy, waxy surface is created, which feels particularly natural and high-quality. Wax Slip is ideal for matte automotive leather, interior zones, furniture, bags, and all types of leather with a "waxy OEM finish." Compared to Soft Slip (velvety softness), Wax Slip provides a grippier, more natural feel. Duller controls the gloss, while Wax Slip influences the surface structure. Together, they create an extremely authentic, original leather look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions about COLOURLOCK Wax Slip

Does Wax Slip change the gloss level?

Only minimally. Duller is responsible for true matting.

Can I combine Wax Slip with Soft Slip?

Yes, then you get a mixture of velvety and waxy-grippy haptics.

Does the surface become slippery?

No. Wax Slip consciously creates grip, not slipperiness.

Does Wax Slip also work on artificial leather?

Yes, the effect is just as good there.

When is Wax Slip applied?

As an additive in the final Top Coat – after color, binder, or structural repair.
