Koch-Chemie products seem expensive because they're highly dilutable and come in large bottles. You could pay $8 or $13 for one liter of product, but if the $13 bottle can be diluted twice as much for the same effectiveness, it's a way better value. Always include dilution in your price calculation! Green Star and Gentle Snow Foam are popular for this reason, they are high quality products with very competitive pricing due to their impressive dilution.
Those foaming pump dispensers are great. I got a foaming face wash for 89p, dumped the contents, and filled with APC. Way cheaper than even buying empty bottles
Green Star is fantastic because it's a SAFE degreaser. There are slightly cheaper degreasers like Superclean or some Meguiars products, but they have a tendency to cause damage to sensitive things like exterior paint or interior plastics, making them fade in color after a while. Green star was specifically designed for these uses and you don't have to worry about it being an aggressive product, just make sure you dilute it properly I also recommend checking out the bulk sizes for Koch-Chemie products. They're EVEN CHEAPER per ounce if you think you'll be using it a lot.
At the detailer supply shop in my area, the GS was $14 last year, then $15, & today it’s now $21.. yea, the price is going up. If it’s still $14, take advantage!
Great video and I agree, these products are excellent. I found effective deep cleaning of door panels (mine have leather and alcantera) with 1:10 Pol Star in spray bottle, spray entire panel then agitate with Detail Factory brushes then use damp microfiber and air gun to dry. My door panels looked absolutely brand new!
Dam I guess it’s time to upgrade. I haven’t been in the detailing business long and I enjoy using P&S for its quality and affordability. I’ve herd and seen other detailers use and talk about how good KC is specifically with interior cleaning & stain removal. I never checked because hear I thought that it was top of the line and it may be too expensive. Don’t get me wrong, P&S is great and I will keep riding with it. Sometimes you just want to use some different quality products. Will definitely be placing an order through your site Josh. As always I appreciate the knowledge & content. Them little foam bottles 🔥
Amazing video thanks for the info I just bought green star and pole star. Ima have to check out leather star cause the one I’m using has everybody slipping around
We love KC products here in Europe, chemicals, polishes, compounds, also valet,detailing,and car tunel product. I personally love basic apcs ,wasing products and their polish products. We buy them on even lower prices (almost half off) , and on 5litres canisters. Gs and Po are on of the best apc on the market for us. And we have the full product line,some products are not available for you yet. Happy new year
Amazing that Koch Chemie was able to pull their US release off so successfully. High quality products with high quality packaging usually equals $$$. Their supply chain must completely outclass the likes of CarPro, Gyeon and Gtechniq
Pol Star is just perfect. I even went ahead and took an old CarPro ReTyre bottle with it‘s foaming spray head and gave some 1:5 diluted Pol Star in it and now I have a dirt cheap but very good working interior cleaner for 1,10€/liter. Would use it all the way if I would run a detailing business
@@goata007 It always cleans my leather seats to a super clean matte finish and does clean the rest of the interior very reliably but it will reach some limits on very stubborn dirt on interior trim. I would recommend Green Star diluted 20:1 in that case.
@@FluppKey I have some alcantara material/patches in leather seats so was looking for an all in one interior cleaner. Is Green Star safe for fabric and alcantara?
@@goata007 Gs works on fabric yes, but I wouldn't use it on a regular basis, only when that much higher alkalinity is really needed e.g. at really stubborn stains that can't be lifted with Pol Star. Alcantara wise I wouldn't risk damaging the fibre, would recommend going for Pol Star instead.
Another great video I have tried Green Star and I do like it I will have to try the other one and go from there thanks for the education again you are the best young man
love your vdos ❤ .. Great work as always.. 🎉 have you tried the kc color for the snow foam ? will it work with active foam or gentle snow foam ? yep kids want the colored snow foam and i'd like to know the amount of color adds to snow foam will it work the same or better or worse ... if possible do come up with that kinda vdo in the future.. thanks in advance!
Thank you for another amazing video. The tip on the foaming bottles game changer. By the way how much Gs product do you add to one of those foaming bottles for dirtier interior? Love the channel Josh definitley one of my favorite detail channels on YT. Have a great week.
@@goata007 Green Star is for everything except leather and alcantara. If you use Green Star on leather, you should afterwards apply a conditioner like Leather Star. With Pol Star you won't have to do that, only maybe after 2-3 details so your leather lasts longer.
Yeah . With 1:10 is absolutely amazing . Make a lot of foam on plastic door panels too . Take a bottle and believe me you will enjoy it . Use it on carpet , seats , leather areas and alcadara
I need to check out the little scrubbers and foam bottles (along with the product). I have 3 small kids, and my wife's van is always a complete disaster. I spent about 6 hours just working on the interior to get it back to ok.
Yea the little scrub pads are amazing and really like things easier. Especially on really bad cars it nice to be able to work one panel at a time with the foam without getting overspray on the other areas
i used this pol star today diluted 1/10 cleaned and foamed nice , but the next day a few drops of rain landed on the car door and left stains , never had it with other products before , not sure what it is
Great product and Technique I will stick with my p&s interior cleaner and super dilution and so is the other product lineups. $25 a gallon $$$$ cents a vehicle.
Awesome happy to hear that! I’ve been very impressed with the products I’ve used too! Some are a bit pricey for sure, but again when I use it I understand the price
@@imjoshv same here. Good quality with good prices.. fell in love with this brand. Thank u again for the info brother. Means alot. I'm big on reviews and the brands u show. I just purchased the dilution kit and some pump foam bottles. So thank u. .
Wow, that's very cool, Josh! Will have to try both of these out, and those foaming sprayer bottles too. Thanks for the heads up! Quick question, as I'm not that familiar with Koch Chemie: do you also use Leather Star as a "dressing" on the plastics and vinyl in the vehicle (dashboard, doors, etc), or is there something else they make that you use for that?
Josh is correct, Top Star is excellent for that purpose. UV protection, anti static, and it smells incredible. I’ve had really good results with all kinds of KCx products, you won’t be disappointed
Impressive. Any experience with GYEON Interior Detailer vs. Koch Chemie? GYEON's the one I've been using on the entire interior in my Tesla - fortunately it's only me in the car 90% of the time so it stays pretty clean. Always looking to try new things that are the best of the best.
Hi if i use only green star to clean all interior i need protection? Or pol star its good for plástics and textiles and have some protection? Hug from Portugal
Enjoy your videos and have been binge watching. After watching the video on 5 things you recommend, I used your link to purchase a swivel mount for my short pressure washer wand. It's a cheapy one from Amazon a purchased a few years ago. I've got swivel mounts for the hose that work great. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to connect the recommended swivel mount to my short wand. How about making a video on how you install the recommended swivel onto a generic washer wand. Thanks.
Depends on conditions really. I do it every time I clean my seat in my Porsche cause it’s so low when I set and run across the seat when I swing my legs in so I like to keep it conditioned!
@IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips ok thanks! I have a 2022 Tundra Platinum with leather seats, I have leather cleaner that I use but wasn't sure when to use the conditioner. Appreciate it!
Can you dilute “Top Star” from them? The Rag Company stated it’s safe to dilute or use full strength, but id like to see what’s would be optimal dilution ratio for a Interior dressing/sealant such as Top Star?
Doesn’t make much sense to me using a leather conditioner on synthetic leather since it just sits on top of the coating. Most likely just cause abrasion, attracting dust and so on… curious what your thoughts are
I just bought a bottle of Pol Star and used it on a couple of customer cars with great success. Then today I used it on two cars and it seemed to pull up some milky white substance that I can't get off at all. I was able to blend it ok but I was really frustrated. I had the issues on a GMC on both the leather and plastic door cards and a BMW on the lower plastic door card. Any idea what might be happening?
Depends on how dirty they are. Green Star will be a bit more aggressive and you can dilute to what works best. Pol Star I will usually save for delicate surfaces
Is Pol Star something anyone can use or is it more like a professional product. I want something to use on my interior as it get real dirty with 4 small kids.
Man I need some green star, I have meguiars detailer citrus power clean but I need to try some koch chemie products. Love being able to dilute my bulk chemicals, can't let the money drain off buying 16 oz bottles all the time lol

100% agree. If you're a fan, check their quick wax, you dillute it 30ml to 1l water, it's out of this world the performance Vs price ratio
Sells on Amazon now for $31 dollars.
Completely agree price per usage is a lot easier to understand rather then price per once
Where is this stuff 13 dollars a bottle at.
@@chodkowski01lol yeah it's not 13 dollars anymore

one of the best interior detailing video right here
Wow, thanks!
Their motorplast is outstanding on engine dressing.
Josh , appreciate for your efforts, you’re helping a lot .
Good call on the damp towel wipe down - the Koch chemie rep I saw on another video mentioned the products should be “rinsed” like you do.
You seem to be feeling a lot better, glad to see that.
Just got these products and the foam bottles can't wait to test them out.
WOW, 1 year later the price for Green Star is now $24.99. That's an $11 increase in a year!
It's $13.99?

a few bucks more than super clean will try both out for comparison. thank you
Can you do a review on the Adams wheel and tire cleaner.
Great video brother! Digging the little foaming bottles! Thanks for the tips🤙
Thank you for your great reviews this year!
Great system and technique, thanks Josh 👍😁
👍👍
Pol star already has protection in it. Good maintenance. Green Star is just a slightly better cleaner.
Is PolStar good for all interior surfaces? I can't decide between the two, I just need one to keep interior surfaces clean & fresh on my own cars.
@@goata007same here , cant choose
@@goata007 Green Star is for everything except leather and alcantara.

Great products from what I can see! Purchasing a few of these
Great video Josh! Is Pol Star safe to use on carpets/upholstery cleaning with an extractor. Thank you
Yeah . With 1:10 is absolutely amazing . Make a lot of foam on plastic door panels too . Take a bottle and believe me you will enjoy it . Use it on carpet , seats , leather areas and alcadara

New to this. If I am cleaning my carpet and I vacuum, use PS, wipe with microfibre. Do I need some kind of "neutralizer" before I apply fabric guard?
Great video Josh. Once you go Koch Chemie, you dont go back
Haha that’s true

Do you use leatherstar for the steering wheel aswell? Or only pol star is enough? It say it got some protecting properties

Would you use Leather star or Top star on Tesla seats? Tring to figure out which one to get
The pricing has gone up! Now greenstar is $24!

Could you just add some APC to pol
Star if you needed some bite to clean if you don’t want to purchase green star?
which one would you recommend to clean fabric or cloth seats pol star or green star? if they’re lightly dirty or heavily?
Can we video on how to clean detail brushes?

This is amazing 😮 need! Asap!
here in Europe 1 Litre of Pol star and Green star is pretty cheap, roughly 8 to 9 USD each
Wow thats amazing. I think the freight and import fees are what drive the prices up for us
Hey Josh I see pull star is good for inside cleaning leather whsts point of leather star they say pol star had protection
I believe pol star is the cleaner for leather whereas leather star is cream type product that you put on leather to make the leather subtle and soft.
Weird question can I use a foaming pump sprayer with chemical guys leather cleaner?
Whats the ideal greenstar dilution ratio for the exterior of the vehicle?
Hey Josh on 2012 Ford Fusion upholstery seats should I go Ps or Gs and what ratio would it be 10:1
Depends on how dirty they are. Green Star will be a bit more aggressive and you can dilute to what works best. Pol Star I will usually save for delicate surfaces
Hey Josh. Will any product foam up in the bottle or does it have to be a product made to do that?
Any product will aside from
A polymer rinseless wash.
Sir is safe with MB Tex? Thanks so much
Hey brother.. can I use pol star for interior plastics??
В сша зовсім немає koch mzr, на практиці він кращий
Is it fine to use only green star ?
Were did you buy those small foaming bottles?
Can anybody please help me to choose from Pol star and Green star. I am only going to clean up my interior and dashboard. Which one should I go for
Carpro inside is a better deal
I have an exterior soap from repco on in New Zealand it’s amazing and cheap I’d like to say I love cheap shit lmao it was like 50-75 nzd for 5 litres
What is that attachment on the bottle to measure?
Does Leather Star have UV protection?
The Pol Star isnt 13 bucks anymore. Its more like double now. 😮
So am I able to clean alcantara with the pulse star ? Can I dilute it into a spray bottle 1:10 and spray then wipe with a microfiber towel?
Yea that’s one of the materials it’s made for. To beat safe always test a small spot to get the dilution you want but pol star is what I would use
@@imjoshv Awesome ! Thanks!

Is Pol Star something anyone can use or is it more like a professional product. I want something to use on my interior as it get real dirty with 4 small kids.
