How to treat squeaks and disturbing sounds

Noise in vehicles has decreased significantly by more modern engines and noise insulation systems. In contrast, the percentage of moving parts in the vehicle has increased considerably.

The seats can be adjusted in many variations, cup holders, toggle switches, and much more can lead to disturbing creaking, squeaking or rattling noises.

In many years of working with the luxury segment of the automotive industry, LEDERZENTRUM GmbH has developed a range of anti-friction coatings that successfully eliminates these noises.

During the development of the LIP ANTI-FRICTION COATINGS, two universal products have been developed which are the first choice in noise reduction for workshops, customer services and consumers.

Both products are easy to use, create a transparent, durable, elastic, protective film which doesn't bind soil particles. Another benefit is the reduction in wear and tear. Friction sounds are always a sign of wear and tear!

THE PREPARATION

  • First, find the source of the noise. Ask for help if the area is not easily to identify.
  • Often it’s necessary to uncover the respective area. This may require disassembling parts.
  • Clean the area before application.
  • First choice is PEOX. When the responsible parts are visible but not accessible, use LEISOL.
  • Rub some PEOX into a cloth and apply on the respective surfaces and let dry.
  • Attention! PEOX can cause rust on corrosive surfaces. Also don’t apply on acrylic glass or safety-relevant parts like braking systems, etc.!

PEOX ANTI-FRICTION CREAM

PEOX ANTI-FRICTION CREAM is a water-based paste and it’s transparent after drying. It is ideal to use in hidden areas. PEOX is a paste and for a uniform application, it has to be rubbed into a cloth first before application. Unlike certain oils, the paste forms a durable protective film.

Areas of application: Rust-proof guide rails, lever guides, hinges, switches, threads.

Contact materials: Plastic, artificial leather, leather, fabrics including micro fibre fabrics.

LEISOL QUIET CREAM

LEISOL QUIET CREAM is liquid and can be used on visible areas. LEISOL comes in a pump-spray bottle and is therefore first choice for inaccessible areas.

 Areas of application: Contacting cushions, rust-sensitive guide rails, sliding roof rails, gaps between chromed and painted plastic parts, seals with and without flocking, inaccessible areas.

 Contact materials: Leather, artificial leather, rubber, plastic, fabrics.

Alcantara & Fabric Cleaner
For the efficient and gentle cleaning of Alcantara, synthetics and natural fibres in upholstery and carpets. Also suitable for all types of synthetic fibre and natural fibre.Fabrics like Alcantara and Amaretta are ultra-microfibre materials (synthetic materials) which have a surface like suede.These fabrics should be vacuumed at regular intervals and occasionally wiped with a damp cloth. COLOURLOCK Alcantara & Fabric Cleaner is ideal for removing dirt and stains from Alcantara car and furniture upholstery.Cleaning big surfaces: Wet the stained surface slightly with COLOURLOCK Alcantara & Fabric Cleaner and immediately wipe gently with a terry cloth. Repeat as necessary.Removing stains: Wet a sponge or a soft brush with some cleaner. Press the foam out of the sponge. Clean the stained area in a circular motion. Then wipe with a damp cloth. Don`t rub too hard or make it too wet. If stains prove difficult to remove, you are advised to consult a professional upholstery cleaner to avoid damaging the material.Fresh stains should be absorbed immediately with an absorbent, clean cloth. Either dab or work from outside of the stain to the centre. Do not rub too hard. With larger stains, work from seam to seam.For greasy and waxy stains use COLOURLOCK Degreaser. Work carefully. Test in a hidden area first.To reduce future soiling and stains, protect the surface with COLOURLOCK Waterproofing for Leather & Textiles. Keep heat away from Alcantara. For example cigarette burns can cause irreparable damage.Alcantara is prone to pilling. Abrasion causes the fibres to develop into small spherical nodules. If the surface is not too damaged, it can be restored with the COLOURLOCK Sanding Pad. But if the material is too badly damaged, it has to be replaced. ApplicationAlways test any products first on a hidden area in case they affect the colour. Spray the area Wipe with terry In case of stains, use a sponge and press cleaning foam Clean the stains circularly with the foam Shake bottle before use. Apply some cleaner on a sponge and press the foam out of it. Clean the surface in a circular motion. If necessary,repeat treatment after drying. Then rub with a slightly moistened cloth.Cleaning of large surfaces: Slightly moisten the soiled surface with the Cleaner and immediately soak up with a terry cloth. Repeat as necessary. Removal of stains: Apply the Cleaner to a sponge or soft brush. Clean the surface in a circular motion. Rub with a slightly moistened cloth.. Do not rub too harshly and do not apply too much liquid. Stains which resist removal should be referred to a professional upholstery cleaner or car valeting service, rather than risking superficial damage by cleaning attempts using products which are too intense.
