Pol Star
Interior Cleaner for Leather, Alcantara & Textile
Quietly becomes a permanent fixture in the kit. Works on everything inside the car — safely.
Note: 1L bottles do not include a sprayer top. A trigger sprayer or foam pump fits standard — the Koch Chemie Foamer Bottle is purpose-built for this product.
Pol Star is one of those products that quietly becomes a permanent fixture in the kit. It's not flashy, it doesn't make wild claims — it just works on everything inside the car, safely, without damaging what it touches. Leather, Alcantara, fabric upholstery, carpet, door panels, plastics, door sills — one product, one dilution ratio adjusted to the job, and you're moving.
It doesn't leave water marks. It doesn't strip the factory waterproofing out of fabric. And it doesn't leave that chemical smell that makes the owner wonder what you used on their car.

The chemistry behind it
What separates Pol Star from the generic interior cleaners on the market is the chemistry. It's a neutral-pH formula — which means it's not attacking the surface or breaking down the dyes and protective treatments in your leather and Alcantara the way alkaline cleaners can with repeated use.
The fine-pored foam action pulls dirt up and out of the fibres rather than pushing it around. The built-in conserver leaves a light protective barrier that slows resoiling — so the interior you just cleaned stays cleaner longer.
What it does
Neutral pH Won't break down dyes, protective coatings, or factory treatments on leather and Alcantara — even with repeated use
Fine-Pored Foam Action Lifts dirt up and out of fibres — doesn't push it around. Wipe clean or extract with a wet/dry vac
Built-In Conserver Leaves a light protective barrier that slows resoiling — the interior stays cleaner longer after every clean
No Water Marks Preserves the original waterproofing in fabric — doesn't leave the finish or residue that makes clients ask what you used
Exceptional Value at Dilution Even one liter of Pol Star, used at the right dilution for the job, goes a very long way — especially at 1:20 for maintenance work

Dilute between 1:5 (heavy soil) and 1:20 (light maintenance) in a spray bottle or foamer

Extract with a wet/dry vacuum or wipe clean with a damp microfiber

Spray extraction machines: add a defoaming agent
Surfaces
"Pol Star replaced P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner in my arsenal. I never loved Xpress — it smelled like vomit and left a weird film sometimes. In came Pol Star and after my first interior detail with it, I punted the rest of Xpress into the trash."

Before first use: Test on a non-visible area to confirm colorfastness and material compatibility — standard practice on any interior you haven't worked before.
