FYI: polstar has darkening and protective agents similar to P&S xpress. This is most likely why you are seeing the darkening/gloss effect. Green star 15:1 is my go to for dirty interiors. Polstar is great for monthly cleanings.
@@seventysschev negative. Per SDS sheet Amines, Coco Alkyldimethyl, N- Oxides Darkening and light protective agent. Think about how xpress leaves a slightly dark and slick finish. Try a true APC and it doesn’t like a finish like this.
@@Embrxceyourdemons I stand corrected. I wasn’t aware of that, and definitely can’t call myself a chemist. Thanks! I’ve been using geist instead lately. The finish does feel different, and now it makes sense why
It's a very professional channel. I use polstar products and use them for maintenance. I used 10:1 for the dilution ratio, but do you recommend 5:1 more? 🇰🇷
I think what you're seeing is the protection from Po. I've cleaned a 2006 BMW grey leather interior which has never been cleaned professionally before, no stains just worn in dirt. Using Po at 10:1 with a scrubpad, you can clearly see on the grey leather that all dirt has been removed from the texture and creases but it leaves a finished which I could describe as silky.
Hey Roger thank you for tuning in, you're not the first one to mention the fact that PO has a light protection component. We can test it further if you want, but on hard plastic it doesn't leave or change the finish so I doubt it would on leather. I want to agree with you but with all the testing that I have done PO lacks power for extra dirty cars in my experiences even at 5:1. It's built to maintain fairly clean cars, it has limitations in other words, this is why its PH neutral. The guys over at KCX USA likes to mix with greenstar for this exact reason. I like the product to clean my steering weekly with a damp towel it's great. Don't forget scrub pads can be abrasive even they tell you they arent.
Hey Mr Sosa, PO for maintenance on well kept cars and Inside for very dirty stuff. You can dilute inside 1:2 or 1:3 if ya want i use straight on heavy dirt. Cheers
Excellent comparison test and I agree CarPro Inside has more cleaning power. Inside is one of the very best cleaners for dirty or neglected leather. I just found your channel and I will be a new subscriber.
I concur per my experience as well, I got one of the initial release of Koch Chemie when they first launch in the US and i have to say i was sold till after a year of using it i noticed the product seemed to be less effective than the first initial release, in my opinion its like a diluted version, i still use their compounds from time to time for mild to moderate polishing when i need a break on my main products Sonax or 3M for paint correction and carpro/gyeon for finishing and prep for sio2.
Hey Arteon, if you maintain already degreased leather I like Pol Star for it's delicateness and Carpro inside as the big gun when facing neglected ultra shiny leather.
Thank you for that. I read a comment where someone said the dirt that was seen on the scrub ninja was actually the leather dye. I hope not, but what's your thoughts on this?
Hey thanks for reaching out, I have never seen dye pulled from a scrub ninja unless a repainted steering or some sort of after market repair spot. Such scrub pad should be used occasionally if we're talking personal car, they can be a little abrasive if used with ton of pressure but shouldn't cause any issue if used with common sense, at least in my experience. The secret is doing one deep clean and from that point on staying on top of it with regular maintenance in a gentle process. I have a video on overall maintenance coming soon stay tuned.
Not really comparable, MZR was a more suited comparison as they’re both on the alkaline side. PO is great for Alcantara as it is neutral and safe for it. This might lead viewers to wrong conclusions.
Understood, but it's simply a comparison between 2 popular leather product in north america. MZR isn't here and polstar is still labeled as a neutral leather cleaner, if you pay attention in the conclusion i'm giving suggestion for both product they have different purposes obviously. Thanks for the feedback
Hey Paco, I use it straight and keep it for nasty cars, in other words not to maintain an already ''clean'' car. It's highly alkaline. Diluting it 1:1 isn't gonna reduce the PH by much.
Great tips my friend. I just came across your channel by accident searching for something else detailing related and you popped up. I will definitely be subscribing to your channel and look forward to future videos. Hello from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
@@Detailing_Dogma waterless wash is also awesome for cleaning door jams. That stuff is really awesome for $ to performance. Dilute 256:1 for little detailing 128:1 for use as a clay bar lube
i think koch chemie makes one of the best if not the best chemicals in the world since 1968 if im not mistaking, I dont know about u, i have very high end nappa leather and i think koch chemie cleans the best.
Polstar is great like I mentioned in the video for new or already well maintained leather, I use it all the time, but it lacks power for neglected greasy leather. Don't get me wrong I love Koch, i have 2 more kcx product testing coming in the next week's stay tuned.
@@Detailing_Dogmaas a general fact, if you need power use higher Ph products like MZR 1:20-1:10. As you said people have or had high expectations from PO because some "detailers" advertised and presented it as an allround cleaner. I use it since 3 or 4 years now, but this should be used for maintenance on leather seats mainly, better for alcantara and plastics, I wouldn't use for fabrics with extractor because of too much foam. Great smell and leaves a bit of protection as well.
Hey my friend, I'm not a big believer in interior protection, I just keep them clean and maintain with gyeon interior detailer or armour pilot. I have a few interior ceramic coating that I need to look into at some point. cheers
Love your channel. In your comparison for leather cleaning - wondering why you didn’t also compare colourlock strong leather cleaner. It’s very effective and formulated specifically for leather - acidic ( which is what leather prefers ) compared with alkaline stronger cleaners like CarPro interior. Thanks
Hey man thank you for hoping on the channel. I like when you propose other products but the reality is i'm only one guy and dont have every product on the market. I showcase and use the products that I have at that time and can't afford to spend money on every video idea. If colour would send the product sure I would. I have leatherique in my cabinet many more stuff. Seriously I have had good success with leather and never felt need to purchase colourlock and now Geist is out there as well. I know what's happening, i'm aware of those fantastic products my friend but cant justify to grab everything, especially now I get sent products almost weekly. Have a good rest of your sunday!
Never tried it! I heard the scent wasn't too pleasant and I always stayed away for the fact it's a ready to use product when you do the math it isn't that good of a value. Regardless thanks for chiming it!
@@Detailing_Dogma you can dilute 1:1. The scent is there. It’s not offensive, if you using on leather, cover it with a nice scented leather conditioner. The scent of P&S is not super strong
Nope sorry, i have tested many times, know your grammar, polestar is a car btw. Pol Star is ph neutral and lacks teeth when it comes to moderate to very leather plain and simple, it leaves blotchy dirt behind. it's made to maintain and not to deep clean. The protection is minimal, protection doesnt mean change in appareance btw, that's silicone.
Don’t you think that if you tested both Undiluted you would have seen different results? For example what if you used pol start straight and Carpro Insyde diluted, the pol start would have performed better no? The reason I asked is because I’m trying to buy a new inside cleaner and want to know which is better.
Hey man thanks tuning in the video and the channel! First off Koch Chemie Pol Star has to be diluted at least 5:1 (max strength) which is how I use it. CARPRO inside is RTU or ready to use but yes people have had success with it at 1:1 to 2:1 and so on. I like to use products how they are intended to be and tested by the Brand it self so here's my final recommendation. Use CARPRO inside for dirty jobs or if you clean your car once in a while, not regularly. If you stay on top on your car every 2 to 4 weeks and it's not greasy or shiny interior for example you can go ahead with Pol Star and use it as a maintenance product.

hey john! vinyl or fake leather is fairly resistant to cleaners in my experience, just wipe off claner residue with wet towel and then dry just like I recommend in the video. cheers

Is green star safe on leather & at what ratio ..? I’ve been told from kc it isn’t safe for leather !!
Xpress doesn’t have any protection in it. Do you mean Swift?

I like Pol Star diluted 10:1 with a Detail Factory soft brush. Works amazing and never had any dirt or grime it can’t tackle
Glad you like it Russel! Thanks for the feedback. ✌️✌️
Do you think p&s express interior is better than koch chemie pol star or carpro insinde for leather cleaning ?

where did you get the foaming sprayer nozzle?
They come with the Carpro inside 500ml version, you can look up tolco they might have some sold separately. cheers
Do you dilute inside 1:1 or do you use it straight up?

Pol Star has a lime smell. I use it mainly for just very sensitive interior components.
yes right on 👍
As far as rubber mats, if they’re not super bad, I’m not wasting expensive cleaners. Use waterless wash like P&S absolute or Wolfgang waterless wash

You mentioned Pol star was diluted 1:5, did you dilute Inside too ?
Yes Inside is a RTU and I always use Inside straight, cheers.
@@Detailing_DogmaI think that was not fair, maybe you should dilute inside 1:5 as polatar
It's not weird...Pol Star got a Ph7...It's much safer to clean with then an agressive high ph cleaner like the CarPro.
Thanks for watching!
Should have added P&S express. P&S is really good for $ to performance
Never tried it! I heard the scent wasn't too pleasant and I always stayed away for the fact it's a ready to use product when you do the math it isn't that good of a value. Regardless thanks for chiming it!
@@Detailing_Dogma you can dilute 1:1. The scent is there. It’s not offensive, if you using on leather, cover it with a nice scented leather conditioner. The scent of P&S is not super strong
The reason polestar looks glossier than Carpro because it got protection and Carpro doesn’t! You need to know your products
