The Koch Chemie is by far the best interior dressing I’ve used in the 15 years I’ve been detailing! Leave the absolute perfect factory finish and smells awesome👍
I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos while you're also running a business. I'm in NC, and trying to find a space like yours to start doing what I love. You're an inspiration for people you may never know or meet. Thanks, J.
@@imjoshv I appreciate the ttime you take to explain different products and have personal opinion on them can you make a video of best leaf blowers or whats best to dry a car
Living in FL, the most important aspect of a protectant is longevity. With the sun constantly beating down on the dash, it’s essential that I have the UV protection, and to have it Last at least 4 weeks. I mostly use 303, but would definitely try the Koch Chemie. I use some of their other products, and they’re flawless.
I use the 303 on my truck's BakFlip cover. It does a fantastic job and my neighbor came by and asked why I got a new cover for my truck. I told him I just use 303 all the time. He is now using it.
I like a factory look also. However I don't want my car to smell fruity so I tend to steer clear of products with those scents. I've been using Megs for a few years now, I've been happy with it. Love these head to head videos, I really value your opinion on products.
Meguiars quick interior detailed is the best OTC interior product to use. Smells good, oem finish, UV protection, cheap and readily available. Can use on just about every interior surface and screens come out prefect
Nice review looking forward to long term results. Been using 303 for maybe 18 months and its been fine. Have been using inside and out but maybe going to switch to cerakote outside that I saw in another of your reviews it looks like good stuff. 🙂
Such a helpful video! I so appreciate you taking the time to walk through the application and results of each product. I’ve been using some interior cleaner by The Chemical Guys which is okay for basic cleaning but I can never quite get my dash or other areas as clean as I’d like, despite the fact that I feel like I’m constantly cleaning them! My current vehicle is the nicest, newest car I’ve had and I’d like to keep it for awhile so I’ve been nervous about using products that might damage it. Thank you for conducting this test so I didn’t have to! 😅 Definitely going to order some KochChemie and can’t wait to try it out!
I have a video idea you should make a video where you show all of your favorite product brands for all different sections so like what’s your favorite soap, favorite wheel, dresser, tire cleaner, rim cleaner, detail spray, etc. It would also be very helpful because I noticed you use a multitude of different products.
Thanks for a basic test that showed the before & after. I have been looking at Gyeon dash cleaner, 303 dash cleaner & then the 303 product that you have shown in this video to seal in the colour, next was the German cleaner that keeps on popping up on some detailing products.
I have to say, I bought the 303 and I think it is too prone to streaking for my liking. I bought Adam’s Interior detailer and liked it way more than I thought. I like the minimal amount of shine it provides to the finish and it’s great if you need a light clean on a well maintained interior.
Can you make a video of car glo putting it on then what it looks like days later??? Really trying to see how it holds up before buying it great video!!
Love the channel. Would love to see Griots make more appearances on your channel. They’re a local company for me and it’s my go-to for most things detailing related, though, always curious to see how it stacks up against other stuff.
Do any of these have different off gassing properties? I’m tired of the windshield getting greasy residue from dash off gassing. Wondering in the protectants off gas as well
Thanks for sharing your expertise with everyone. I just picked up a McKillans stubby with swivel and Black Max 35' hose. As pertains to this video, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant (not glossy) and Vinylex (glossy).
FWIW, I used original Armor-All on my '73 Triumph TR6 starting in 1974. As of 1987 when I sold it, it had no cracking on the dash. I wish I still had it.
I use CG Total Interior but as a light cleaner not so much as a "dressing". I do use 303 for the dressing look buuut I have noticed a bit of dusting. The KC Top Star and Carglo do look good and if they have anti-static properties, even better. Thanks!!
Bro...I love the content...but I use technicians choice inside and out thanks to you. So modern cars have materials like leatherette or actual leather that are coated. The detail spray works great 👍
The 2 products that I use regularly are the 303 protectant and also Chemical Guys Total Interior. I tend to use 303 on the dash where the sun hits hardest, and then Total Interior on everything else inside (steering wheel, center console, and my faux leather seats...because Tesla...lol).
Thanks for the thorough video. Now if we could only validate manufacturer claims of UV protection.. 303 is great, currently use Mckees Graphene Interior Shield. I'm intrigued by the Koch Chemie.
Armor All is cheap for a reason, but it didn't cause dashes to crack "back in the day". I don't use it after discovering better products. But dashes cracked because Detroit was cheap. Cars that had never had Armor All used in them would crack. After awhile Detroit refined their dash builds and they don't crack as bad as they used to. They build their dashes completely different than they did "back in the day."
I have Meguiar's Ultimate interior cleaner. I haven't used it yet. My late cousin gave me his father's Camry to me. I'm the 4th owner of the Camry. The Camry is a 2000 Camry LE. My cousin's father was a cigar smoker so was his grandson. So what I did was I took a wet paper towels and ran over everything that was vinyl. All this brown tar came off just with wet paper towels. The dashboard has faded. Doors not so much. The Camry as a whole needs alot of work. It's a challenges but I aim to restore the Camry as much as I can. I'm a beginner detailer. I keep my interior as clean as possible. Nothing stays in the Camry of any importants because I live in a crime area. I probably will stay with Meguiar's interior cleaner. Thanks much for your video.
Try Koch Chemie Top Star or CarGlo Clean and dress. Both have anti static properties and carglo has told me that they dont have any off gassing type of effect on windows
Hey Josh appreciate all the work you put into these videos. I use technicians choice for interior, does that have any UV protection or can I use both the technicians choice with one of these? Thanks!
I’ve been using vrp by chemical guys for about a year now because I can use it for exterior trim and interior protectant, I’ve been looking for a cheaper one that can be used for exterior and interior like vrp.
Something to take into consideration maybe in a better test, see which stands to the test of time. Armor All has a pretty bad rep. I use meguiars but I`m looking to upgrade the products I use on my cars I plan to keep them for a pretty long time and want to take the best care I can. One of my cars is a 1999 Rav4 5 door version and it was badly treated by its previous owners so I want to restore as much as possible and keep it nice, its a really nice car. So maybe test which one lasts the longest? which one will actually protect and restore the dash instead of just covering it with some oil compound and make it shine or make it look better for a moment? I don`t like the idea of taking so long to clean and detail my car interior plastic just to have it with dust sticking to it and/or the product fading after just a couple of days (which is what I feel that happens with Meguiars)
Hi! I totally agree with you… I actually filmed a 6 month update to this video to see how they last! ua-cam.com/video/sgn83T31vao/v-deo.htmlsi=PPfTvpKF0X0JrUIB
Thank you. I was just looking for a matte/satin finish cleaner and found your video. Ever heard of or tried sonax matte dashboard cleaner? Was there a follow up results video? Thx!
Just looked for the follow-up video and it looks like you never made 1. Curious what the long-term results were, maybe it wasn’t worth making one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey man love your content. Just had an out there question though, never see any Shine Supply products on your channel. Idk if theres a reason for it but I’ve used there stuff for a while and I find there chemicals to be far superior to pretty much every other brand.
I got a pro flow pressure washer from chemical guys and wanted to upgrade the hose but don’t know what kind of quick connection I need to fit in the machine and the wand that came with it
@IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips it's the inside and out Protactant yellow label, works well for the exterior plastic trims aside from the dash and other surfaces
The dash (notorious for cracking) on my '88 IROC is nearly flawless (a few minor scrathes), For the first few years I used Armor All and then switched to a Turle Wax protectant for a few years. (The TT was a clear spray which came in a clear bottle--it left a very glossy finish.) Then for many years I used Meguiars and or Turtle. Of course, I also always put a windshield screen protector when parked in the sun.
Maybe you should just worry about shining that gold chain around your neck that people can see easily since you wear a tank top to go with that T-top IROC ca. mid-80's.
I like Mags hyper dressing...its water based, can be diluted, use inside or outside and is also UV...idk how much and maybe some of the products you mentioned may have more UV protection is it but Hyper Dressing is very versatile.
Josh que piensa tu sobre ocupar e VPR de chemical guys para El tablero porque yo tengo casi 2 años ocupándolo siempre para e tablero y el baúl del carro per también lo utilizo en las llantas
The best for the steering wheel is to not use any protectant because they can add lubrication and that's dangerous. Use cleaner only. As for the mats I also don't recommend it for the same reason but you can do whatever works for you.
I felt like if you left the armorall alone you would've gotten better results. The armorall has gotten me consistent results, a nice matte finish and cleaning, on pretty much any material I've used it on. . .I've used 303 and meguirs. 303 always feels like everything is moist . . . its not the best user experience. Megiurs is great and smells great.
Thank you for tyring out and reviewing our 303 Protectant product!
Great products! Thanks

Your response is inspiring honestly!
303 is my absolute go to for everything in my truck that isn't leather and all the seats in my boat. Absolutely fantastic stuff!

I use 303 not only on the dash of my car, but on rubber seals around my house.
I've been using various 303 products for years....never been disappointed.
I like a factory look also. However I don't want my car to smell fruity so I tend to steer clear of products with those scents. I've been using Megs for a few years now, I've been happy with it. Love these head to head videos, I really value your opinion on products.
I used 303 for awhile never streaks for me very happy with the product
Meguiars quick interior detailed is the best OTC interior product to use. Smells good, oem finish, UV protection, cheap and readily available. Can use on just about every interior surface and screens come out prefect
None have proper UV protection..... Look Project FARM testing on these products.....
Thanks Josh for another great video and for giving this old man and others your knowledge of car detailing
I have to say yes Armor All did tend to crack dashes back in the day at least on my mom’s car, this is a great comparison Josh 👍😁
Nice review looking forward to long term results. Been using 303 for maybe 18 months and its been fine. Have been using inside and out but maybe going to switch to cerakote outside that I saw in another of your reviews it looks like good stuff. 🙂
303 protection for me. I use it on the interior, and even the rubber on tires.
Great video once again. I’m a 303 guy. But was impressed with all of them. Even Armor All has come around a bit.
Thanks Josh for another great video comparison, appreciate what you do.
I appreciate that!

cant wait to see results after some time. i also vote for griots in future testing. budget friendly, and in stock locally

It’s a great choice
Love your videos. Have been using a lot of the product and tools you review. Here you forgot to add that applicator sponge which I was interested in.
Great vid Josh looking forward to the updates!
Cool to see you here man, your videos are sweet.

Yup also, Griots is at local auto parts stores here in San Diego they have shelves of griots products.
Do any of these have different off gassing properties? I’m tired of the windshield getting greasy residue from dash off gassing. Wondering in the protectants off gas as well
You should do best interior cleaners, especially with the CarGlo products. Looking for a good interior cleaner or APC. Thanks Josh
Been wanting to try the Koch once my Turtle Wax Inside Job runs out. The Turtle Wax has been surprisingly good
Thanks for sharing your expertise with everyone. I just picked up a McKillans stubby with swivel and Black Max 35' hose.
As pertains to this video, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant (not glossy) and Vinylex (glossy).
Im a big fan of the 303 and the Turtle Wax Inside Job

Great comparison!
Only issue is that you don’t need uv protection Becuase your windshield filters out all the uv. Not the case with classic cars though
Bro...I love the content...but I use technicians choice inside and out thanks to you. So modern cars have materials like leatherette or actual leather that are coated. The detail spray works great 👍
CarGlo fire shine is awesome for inside and out
I truly enjoy your videos ❤❤ what do you recommend to clean the windshield on the inside mine always looks streaky 🙏

What do u use on rubber and black trim exterior?
Took your advice and purchased the Koch Chemie Top Star; I couldn't be happier!
Off gassing after sun exposure is my only question.
Thanks for the thorough video. Now if we could only validate manufacturer claims of UV protection.. 303 is great, currently use Mckees Graphene Interior Shield. I'm intrigued by the Koch Chemie.
Non offer good uv protection.... Look up ProjectFarm on UA-cam..... He did a test on interior dressings......
I'd like to see a head to head with your go to Technicians Choice...
I know there are tons of interior cleaners out there but you should’ve use chemical guys VRP!!
Armor All is cheap for a reason, but it didn't cause dashes to crack "back in the day". I don't use it after discovering better products. But dashes cracked because Detroit was cheap. Cars that had never had Armor All used in them would crack. After awhile Detroit refined their dash builds and they don't crack as bad as they used to. They build their dashes completely different than they did "back in the day."
Where is the link on how to make the Cleaning mixer?

So, what's the best way to initially clean the surface prior?

For the smell , you could use a ozone machine .
Isn't your cousins father your uncle?
@@Billyb0b557 No just a cousin. His wife was my mother's niece. She was my first cousin. Her husband was a cousin by marriage.
@@williamclick9771 ah ok, thanks for answering. Sorry for your loss
Do a video on the best way to clean a white Tesla interior. thanks
Hey Josh, I've found ArmorAll to vapor over time onto the windows. Do like 303 results but a dust magnet. Hmmmm.
Try Koch Chemie Top Star or CarGlo Clean and dress. Both have anti static properties and carglo has told me that they dont have any off gassing type of effect on windows
Hey Josh appreciate all the work you put into these videos. I use technicians choice for interior, does that have any UV protection or can I use both the technicians choice with one of these? Thanks!
I do the same in most cases! But if you want to add a dressing and actually darken or restore the color, these are great options!
Thank you!
@imjoshv was there an update to this interior side by side demonstration?
What are your thoughts about using Top Star on Ford's ActiveX seat material?
I’ve been using vrp by chemical guys for about a year now because I can use it for exterior trim and interior protectant, I’ve been looking for a cheaper one that can be used for exterior and interior like vrp.
What’s your take on mothers VLR. I love this stuff. Matte finish. Good scent. Not greasy and repels dust

The best for the steering wheel is to not use any protectant because they can add lubrication and that's dangerous. Use cleaner only. As for the mats I also don't recommend it for the same reason but you can do whatever works for you.
