The Koch Chemie Top Star is a silicone-free care emulsion for plastic and rubber that you use both inside and outside the car. You spray it onto an application sponge, apply it evenly, let it dwell for thirty to sixty seconds and buff it off with a dry microfiber cloth. The result is a natural, satin-matt finish, not a greasy shine, with a UV blocker and an antistatic effect. Because Top Star is silicone-free, it leaves no haze on your windows and does not foul your paint. On a clean surface the protection lasts up to about six months.
What Top Star does
Top Star cares for and protects plastic and rubber in one action. The emulsion lays down a thin, satin-matt protective film that makes the parts look cared for without making them shiny or sticky. The built-in UV blocker protects against discolouring and fading from the sun, and the antistatic effect makes dust stick less quickly, so the dashboard stays clean for longer. Because the formula is silicone-free, you can use it near windows and paint without worry.
How to use it
Clean the surface first. A dressing only bonds and protects well on a clean surface, so remove dust and dirt from the dashboard, the panels or the plastic parts before you start.
Spray five to ten millilitres of Top Star onto an application sponge, not directly onto the panel. That keeps overspray off your windows and spreads the product more evenly.
Apply the product with the sponge in a thin, even layer to the dashboard, the door panels, the consoles or the plastic parts on the outside. Work panel by panel.
Let Top Star dwell for thirty to sixty seconds and then buff off with a dry microfiber cloth. That gives you an even, satin-matt finish without streaks or greasy patches.
Why silicone-free is handy
Many classic cockpit sprays contain silicone oil. That gives a greasy shine and can later settle on your windows or foul your paint and glass, which is a nuisance if you then want to polish or coat. Top Star is silicone-free, so you get a natural, matt look instead of a mirror shine, and you can use it safely near windows and paint. That makes it pleasant for anyone who wants their interior cared for but understated.
Inside and outside
Top Star works inside on the dashboard, the door panels, the centre console and other plastic and rubber parts, and outside on plastic trim, bumper parts and rubber seals. That way you care for all the plastic on your car with one product and the same matt look. On a clean surface the UV and dirt protection lasts up to about six months, after which you simply reapply it. You will find more plastic care in the plastic and dashboard products.
