nextzett 92470515 Cockpit Premium Interior and Dashboard Cleaner, 16.9 fl oz, Black

Those of you purchasing this product are probably into detailing cars, and by proxy, are probably familiar with Mike Philips of Autogeek. I've been using this product for years and while thinking about how best to review it, Mike's quote - "find something you like and use it often" - came to mind without any effort.Like many passionate car guys, I have a whole garage full of car detailing products; everything from Flex 3401s, Pinnacle waxes, Wolfgang polishes, Menzerna all-in-ones, Sonax wheel cleaners, Optimum waterless wash soaps, Lake County pads, etc., etc., etc. While many of those aforementioned products are absolutely fantastic, few of them are so incredible that they completely make comparable products from rival brands secondary choices.Einszett Cockpit Premium (ECP) is, however, one such product.ECP is so good, so overachieving, and so perfect for its intended use that as a consumer, I have absolutely zero incentive to try another similar product. ECP is the anti-Armor-All; where Armor-All style products are shinier, greasier, and more anachronistic than the Soul Glo in Darryl Jenks' Jheri curl, ECP is absolutely streak-free, easy to use, and inoffensively scented. In short, ECP is one of those products that truly accomplishes the mission that so many car detailers are in constant pursuit of accompishing, namely, turning something that appears "used" into something that looks as close to showroom new as possible.Some people may say that ECP isn't great at deep cleaning, and they'd be right. However, saying this is much like saying a hammer isn't so great at turning bolts. ECP is not an all-purpose cleaner nor is it advertised as such. ECP can be a cleaner as long as it's being applied in an interior that hasn't been abused. For people like me, who routinely keep good care of our vehicles, ECP is all they'll need to keep their interior looking brand new. However, if you're trying to remove interior stains that require honest-to-goodness elbow grease, this is simply the wrong tool for the job.What ECP does so incredibly well is remove that "lived in" look that daily drivers acquire over time with normal use. Things like dust accumulation, skin flakes/oils (gross, but true), and light grime are not only no match for ECP, but are magically replaced by a surface that has a complete matte finish and for all intents and purposes, looks brand new.Because it is 100% streak free, you can use this in places that other similar products are persona non grata. Have you ever made the stupid mistake of directly spraying a cleaner/protectant on your steering wheel only to find that the ensuing overspray drenched the gauge binnacle? For some reason, every gauge cluster I've ever seen uses a clear plastic material that's almost impossible to touch (even with a dry microfiber) without leaving a smudge. Using a lesser product in this case turns into a frustrating process of trying to clean the overspray without leaving a smear. ECP is so smear resistant that you can be as ham-fisted as you want, and still end up with effortlessly new looking dashboard, center console, nav screen, door panels, etc.So, to sum up, ECP is cheap, stupidly easily to apply and use, leaves perfect results, smells light and subtle, and leaves absolutely ZERO residue to the touch. If there's a "better" interior protectant/finisher, I have no idea what it would look like as it's very hard to improve on flawless. As a result, ECP is my forever go-to when it comes to car interiors.

I bought this based on other people's reviews and was so not disappointed at all! It IS a MUST have for all of you who love to detail your vehicles and keep them looking in pristine condition!The sprayer had no issues as I've had before with other products. The spread of the spray was even and not too wide nor was it too narrow. The product has a nice lemon scent which in my opinion helps to remove any odors in your car and leave it smelling very fresh. I use this product on my Porsche Boxster on the dash and other plastic parts.It does NOT leave a shine like other products or a sheen, but a nice matte clean layer. Which is great because I'm sure some of you have received the glare/reflection of the sun from off of your dash and it's not a nice thing when you are driving especially in high volume traffic. It is easy to apply and dries within a few minutes. For the leather in my car I used another product to first clean and then a separate product to condition the leather.If you are still using Armor All then be prepared to blown away with this product. After using this you will never look back and recommend to everyone you know to get this product! If you are all about quality, want to have a nice easy to clean and maintain interior then don't hesitate in buying this product! Luckily I never used any other product on my Porsche because I only want the best for it - and this IS it hands down!Definitely a must have in your garage!

I've been an Einszettes fan for years, I love everything I have tried from them. From polishes, sealants and cleaners, they all work amazing. Other than it's amazing ability to clean, Cockpit Premium smells great. It's kind of a difficult scent to describe, but if I could only choose one word it would be "clean". Pair Cockpit Premium with their glass cleaner Schlibeklar (windscreen clear) and the interior smells wonderful. One of the first things customers comment on when they first sit in the vehicle upon delivery from a day of detailing is the smell of the interior. Everyone loves the smell, and they all say it just simply smells clean.Cockpit leaves a nice matte finish on the dash and surrounding plastics. Much like the finish looks as the car leaves the factory. Cockpit also has UV protection so it will give a nice little layer of sun block to the dash. If you like your dash to have more of a shine to it, you'll want to buy Einszettes Teifenfleger (can't spell). That will leave a nice soft shine on the plastics and provide the same protection as Cockpit. Teifenfleger also looks great on exterior plastics and tires.$10 a bottle on Amazon was the cheapest I have seen Cockpit in a long time. As always, super fast shipping and packed like fine china. Hope this was helpful.

This product rocks, it leaves you interior plastic and vinyl finishes smelling great and very dry and clean.

bought awhile ago... have used several times. i splurged. why? i dunno', just did. read some other reviews & said, "____ __". it smells like a French garden only citrusy & what not. it's non-greasy, it really cleans though you're not sure it is 'til you look at nasty rag after applying a little bit of the car love ointment by einszett to, say, the dash of your vehicle, and wiping it (a little goes a long way) and you say, "dang, that was nasty but now it's not & smells so lovely in here now...". i like it. i'm in no hurry to buy more - yet -'cuz it ain't cheap but i'll probably get a re-fill. i'm a middle-aged fella' & have used some car goo since i was kid GI'ing my parents' cars. this goo rocks like "Back In Black" or maybe Zepplin's first 2 albums?! in other words, recommended. but the jury's still out as to value... i think it's worth the splurge if you're into funky car goo - i don't suffer buyer's remorse though.
