PROTECT YOUR CAR'S INTERIOR FROM THE SUN - 6 month update!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I tested out some of the best known interior products that have UV protection to see which one looks the best and lasts the longest. From Koch Chemie Top Star to a local chemical manufacturer and everything between to see how these products hold up after 6 months. Having some sort of protection on your cars interior will help prevent fading and possible cracking over time. So which product should you use? ENJOY!!!

303 has been my main go to. Carpro Perl is also pretty good and has multiple different uses

I use Perl and I love it on the dash. However I barely dilute it at like 1:3 so it's pretty shiny but I like it like that.
303 has been my goto for years excellent product

I have the top star and the 303. They are both fantastic!!! I usually apply them every 2-3 months. Guys the work great on Electronic drums. I use both on my Roland e drum set (whichever doesn’t matter) and they look and feel like brand new Cheers!
Could you throw in the technicians choice for the next video also? We know this isn't its intended use, but as you've always said, it works very well and I think it deserves to be included. Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for your videos I have learned quite a bit to care for my car. As for this test though I have to go with the Megiurs. I’ve been using it and the cleaner for a while on my 2017 Optima and the dash looks like new still.

Awesome! Yea I was impressed with its results as well. Like I said I’m very use to clean and dress and I really like it so I’m a little biased to that one but they all look pretty good
I’m on it saving up for it
I love the comparison, thank you! certainly helps with the decision. Question - would you use the CG interior to clean then use the Mcguire to dress? I noticed that the Mcguire doesn't clean ... and i am looking for a cleaner.
Lol I was starting to wonder if you forgot about this update. Also I recommend you include " Shine Supply - Clean N Shine " in the the next video seeing how it does the same thing as swift.

Bro...what would you recommend a non-gloss product for dashboard and protectant from the sun UV rays since the Florida sun is insane😅 Appreciate the input Much blessings 🙌 Ty
JOSH,thanks for the testing. I have been using Megs Quik detailer, cleans & protects. 303 only last about 4 weeks, does not clean. Plus now cost about $63 a gallon vs Megs about $25, which is a better business decision?
You really need to try DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating its da bomb.

It would be awesome if you were able to come up with a UVA test. I have a sneaking suspicion that none of these products actually give meaningful UV protection.

Hi , thanks for covering different products. Can you please advise as to which product to use to clean and protect BMW Sensatec seats and dash. Thank you. Costa
@imjoshv
11 ай бұрын
Hi costa SensaTec is a type of vinyl that is stamped to be like leather. Most leather products work on both leather and vinyl so any of these would work, but you can also do a leather cleaner and conditioner. Most modern day leathers have a type of clear coat on them so the conditioner doesn’t really penetrate the way you think it would but it will still absorb in a bit
Has the video woth pg products come out yet and which one was final winner
Do you ever use dash covers? Is it best to leave nothing on the dash because a dash cover could actually damage the dash?
I think I am overthinking the "protectant" portion of this. If i used something like Meguiars QuikDetail spray. I assume this doesn't achieve the same protection as these would, top star for example. So, if that's the case, would you use something like Top Star for a clean/protect detail then maybe a month later for a maintenance wash hit it with a QuikDetail spray from Meguiars or PS? Or, do you separate them into different packages such as a normal detail, you wouldn't put a protectant but if a higher detail package, at that point you'd apply a protectant?
I know its fading but that Meguiars looks the best. Maybe with a better application, it woulda have been a clear winner

Get UV ceramic window tint and put up a sunshade. Easy at that. I have a 10 year old car and the interior still looks brand new as the day I bought it. But I will say, it never hurts to put some UV protectant on your dash if it is leather. Other than that, window tint and a sunshade is all you need.

Some one use koch chemie pol star and green star for cleaning. What are the differences?
Hello. I have a 2010 Altima and I live in South Florida. Altought I put one sun shield on the dashboard and another one behind it, my dashboard starts cracking. It’s still flexible and does not feel rigid but still cracking. Do you think I can protect it from cracking if I apply silicon spray or vaselin on it? If not, what do you recommend? TY
303 products are the best for UV. Been using them for 30 years on my offshore boats. Long term protection. My boats are fishing in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico not some silly lake. Buy 303 and forget about the rest, simple.

awsome to hear that kind of longevity
Although Top Star from Koch Chemie was easy to apply, I was disappointed that it lasted little more than a month before it had to be reapplied.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼
Have anyone tested Lucas interior products?
Meguiar's was by far the darkest after 6 months. There is no way, that this product can be this inconsistant in such a small area like this. It HAS to be some minor application error. This means, that the left side of the area is what the Meg. is capable of. Which is a clear winner. much-much darker. However, I can accept, that the other 2 are better value. Koch-Cemie is a disappointment. :(
I just bought some 303 to use on my new car that I just bought. Mine came in the white bottle (Aerospace Protectant). Is this a different product than the one you used, or is it just different packaging?

ArmorAll is not cheap where I live. I’ve been using it for decades so will probably keep using it. Never had any issues with it. I would not choose the Meguires one if it ends up looking patchy.
First!!!
A bias certainly appezred here. You are also basing this on looks and unproven facts that your local protuct does any real cleaning over the other products.
Hey Josh, video idea… I’m curious if you’ve ever had to detail a car that the owner left the windows down during a thunderstorm and now it reeks of mildew. Cuz I’m that bonehead owner dealing with the awful smell.

Ha oh man that’s a bummer. At the very least put a pack of baking soda in there to help absorb some odors. Or they make things for rv’s to absorb the dampness. It really depends on how wet it got. If the padding under the carpet is saturated it’s a lot harder to deal with. Once’s it’s dried out you can look into using an ozone machine
What about Chem Guys Total Interior????
