Deep-Pore Cleaning
Plastics and rubber that actually look cared for
Top Star's emulsion formula gets into the pores of interior plastics and rubber, lifting built-up grime without stripping or drying the surface. The result is a clean, conditioned finish that looks like the car has just left the factory floor.

How It Compares
Top Star vs. a generic trim cleaner
Standard trim cleaners get surfaces looking clean in the short term, but not all of them condition what they clean. Here's how Top Star stacks up against a typical cheaper alternative.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Deep-pore emulsion cleaning | Yes | No |
| Conditions rubber and plastic in one step | Yes | No |
| Natural, non-greasy finish | Yes | No |
| Removes surface-level dirt and grime | Yes | Yes |
| Safe on common interior plastics | Yes | Yes |
| Long-term UV protection | No | No |
For Professionals and Enthusiasts
A natural finish, not a greasy one
A lot of trim dressings leave interiors looking wet and over-dressed. Top Star is different. The emulsion balances cleaning with conditioning to give plastics and rubber a restrained, natural appearance that your clients will notice without being able to say exactly why.
Reviews
What our customers say
Solid emulsion for keeping dashboard plastics fresh. Does leave a very slight residue if you use too much, but a quick buff sorts it out.
Finally a trim product that doesn't make the console look like it was dunked in oil. Clean, matte, conditioned - exactly what I needed.
Detailing a customer's older sedan with cracked-looking door seals. Top Star cleaned and conditioned them in one step and they looked noticeably better. Client was happy.
Works well on interior trim and rubber. Wouldn't call it a standalone protectant but as a regular care step it keeps things looking maintained without any effort.
Koch-Chemie consistently delivers. Top Star is no different - the emulsion formula actually gets into the plastic rather than just sitting on top. Trim looks genuinely clean.
Smells fresh, works fast and leaves no greasy film. Ordered through Detailer SA and the packaging arrived in perfect condition - will keep this in the regular rotation.
After trying several budget alternatives, this is the one I come back to for interior plastic care. No residue, no fake sheen, no complaints from clients. 😊
Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can I use Top Star on?
Top Star is designed for interior plastics, rubber parts, consoles and trim panels. It works well on dashboards, door cards, rubber seals and weather strips. Avoid using it on painted surfaces, glass or leather.
How do I apply Top Star correctly?
Apply a small amount to a clean foam or microfibre applicator and work it evenly into the surface using circular or back-and-forth motions. Allow it to penetrate briefly, then buff off any excess with a clean microfibre cloth. For heavily soiled surfaces, a light scrub with a soft detailing brush helps work the emulsion into the pores.
Does Top Star leave a glossy or matte finish?
Top Star leaves a natural, non-greasy finish rather than a high-gloss or wet look. This makes it especially suitable for OEM-style interiors where you want the trim to look clean and cared for without appearing over-dressed or artificially shiny.
How long does the finish last after application?
Longevity depends on how frequently the interior is exposed to cleaning, UV and general use. As a care emulsion it is intended for regular maintenance rather than long-term protection, so reapply as part of your routine interior detail to keep surfaces conditioned and fresh.
Can I use Top Star on exterior rubber seals and trim?
Top Star is formulated primarily for interior use. While it may perform adequately on exterior rubber seals and door trims, it is not specifically designed for the UV and weather exposure that exterior rubber endures. For exterior rubber and plastic protection, a dedicated exterior trim dressing is the better choice.
Is Top Star safe on rubber without causing cracking or drying?
Yes. The emulsion formula conditions rubber as it cleans, which helps maintain flexibility and prevents the surface from looking dried out. It does not strip natural oils from the rubber the way some solvent-based cleaners can.
Does Top Star have a strong scent?
Top Star has a mild, fresh scent typical of Koch-Chemie care products. It is not overpowering, which makes it comfortable to use in enclosed interior spaces without needing to air the vehicle out for extended periods.
Can Top Star be used as part of a full interior detail process?
Absolutely. Top Star fits naturally into a full interior detail after vacuuming and any pre-cleaning steps. Apply it to plastics and rubber once surfaces are dry and free of loose dirt. It pairs well with a separate leather conditioner for leather surfaces and a glass cleaner for windows, rounding out a thorough interior service.
