Koch Chemie Pol Star is a neutral cleaner with a foam-based formula, developed to clean textile upholstery, alcantara and leather in vehicles. The product combines effective soil removal with a conditioning additive that preserves the material's original water-repellent treatment.

The fine-pored foam structure penetrates deep into the fibres and lifts dirt from the base, without leaving rings or discolouration along the edges. Loosened dirt can then be collected with a wet/dry vacuum or a damp microfibre cloth.

Pol Star also helps protect the cleaned surface against rapid re-soiling, making the product suitable for regular use in professional environments.

What is Pol Star and why choose it?

Pol Star from Koch Chemie is a versatile cleaner with a neutral pH that works on all common interior materials in vehicles – textile, alcantara and leather. Unlike strong alkaline cleaners, Pol Star preserves the material's original water-repellent treatment and surface structure, reducing the risk of fading or drying out of sensitive surfaces.

The foam-based formula allows for controlled working without saturating the material with liquid, which is an advantage when cleaning thicker textiles and carpets. The product leaves no visible rings after drying, which is essential in professional reconditioning work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Koch Chemie Pol Star clean alcantara without damaging the material?

Yes, Koch Chemie Pol Star is developed to be gentle on sensitive materials such as alcantara. The neutral pH value means the product does not break down the material's surface structure or water-repellent treatment. The fine-pored foam formula lifts dirt from the fibres without saturating the material, which is important to avoid deformation of alcantara surfaces. The dirt is then collected with a damp microfibre cloth or a wet/dry vacuum.

What volume does Koch Chemie Pol Star come in and how long does it last in professional use?

Koch Chemie Pol Star is available in this variant in a 5-litre container, making it cost-effective for professional use in reconditioning workshops and detailing studios with high throughput. Consumption varies depending on the degree of soiling and material type, but the 5-litre format is designed for workshops that carry out vehicle care on a daily basis.

What sets Koch Chemie Pol Star apart from other vehicle upholstery cleaners?

The neutral pH value means Pol Star can be used on all common interior materials without risk of fading or drying out. The product leaves no rings after drying and helps protect the surface against rapid re-soiling, reducing the need for frequent treatments.
