Heavy-gloss dressings often look out of place in modern interiors; here InsideCare deliberately gives you a restrained look with a defined grip. On textured plastics the product spreads homogeneously, so matte areas don't go blotchy. Vinyl gets a fresh, rich look without smearing. Rubber seals look better and stay supple. The order matters: clean first (InsideUp), then care (InsideCare) and only protect on top when you need to (e.g. VinylGuard on vinyl). Displays, piano black and glass aren't a job for interior care – that's what DisplayExpert and ClearView are there for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomotive – apply, buff off, lock in the feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive\u003c\/strong\u003e surfaces live on a calm look and a dry feel. Work panel by panel: put InsideCare thinly onto a soft applicator pad or microfibre, spread it evenly and let it flash off for 1–2 minutes. Then wipe gently with a clean side of the cloth until the surface looks evenly satin-matte. Keep it off the steering wheel, gear knob and pedals – there a plain clean (InsideUp) is enough, because grip is what counts. On badly faded plastics you can repeat the coat once it's fully flashed off. After care dust comes off more easily and fingerprints show up less. For leather the line stays clear: clean with InsideUp or target it with LeatherTexClean, then care with LeatherLock. Clean textiles separately and protect them optionally with TexLock – InsideCare doesn't belong on fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarine – vinyl \u0026amp; plastics in the cockpit and cabin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarine\u003c\/strong\u003e environments need care that feels tough and is easy to top up. On boat vinyl, console and cabin plastics you use InsideCare after a thorough clean with InsideUp. The product lays down thin and even, cuts that typical salt-haze look and gives a rich, non-greasy surface. Work in the shade on cool materials – direct sun or hot surfaces shorten the flash-off time and can lead to patchy results. Upholstery and large vinyl that's more exposed you can lock in with VinylGuard if needed; that keeps cleaning easier and the feel consistent for longer. InsideCare isn't meant for gelcoat exteriors – out there you reach for CleanMarine, the polishing chain (RoughCut\/FineCut\/PerfectOne) and finally BodyGuard for the hydrophobic protection. In the cabin: glass with SeaYou, clean textile surfaces first then optionally protect with CoverGuard\/TexLock – InsideCare stays on the hard interior surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „InsideCare“ — interior care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich materials do I apply InsideCare to?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo plastic, vinyl and rubber inside.

Bumpers, mirror housings, sills, mouldings – UV and weather break unprotected plastic down fast, and for good. GYEON Q²M Preserve is the chemically smarter alternative to oil-based dressings: an SiO₂ coating that doesn’t just bring the original black back, it locks it in through real cross-linking.

Grab the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-trim-cleaner-kunststoffreiniger-stark\"\u003eGYEON Q²M TrimCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e for that – it’s built for plastic surfaces and pulls even baked-in residue out without attacking the material. Preserve only hangs on long-term if the surface underneath is properly clean.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy trim care is more than a cosmetic job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time UV radiation wrecks the polymer structure of unprotected exterior plastic – first it greys, then it goes porous and brittle. What starts out as an eyesore ends up as a material problem. GYEON Q²M Preserve stops that clock: the SiO₂ layer works as a UV barrier, keeps moisture out and leaves a hydrophobic surface behind at the same time. Dirt and salt cling less, cleaning gets easier, and the plastic itself stays protected long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t just a show-car thing – on a daily driver too, Q²M Preserve used regularly adds noticeable life to your exterior trim. Cars that live outside all year gain the most: put a treated bumper next to an untreated one after one season and you see it straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProper prep: that’s where the result is won\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best coating in the world fails on a badly prepped surface. Loose dirt comes off in the normal wash. Baked-in residue, old wax and oily dressing films you deal with separately. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-trim-cleaner-kunststoffreiniger-stark\"\u003eGYEON Q²M TrimCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is ideal here – it doesn’t attack plastic surfaces, but it cleans deep enough to leave a proper key for the coating to bite into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it’s clean, let the panels dry out completely. Work above 10 degrees Celsius if you can – in the cold the SiO₂ cross-linking can stall. Bring the car up to temperature indoors or with a heat lamp if you need to. The effort pays off: on a well-prepped surface the Preserve layer holds noticeably longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication: simple and forgiving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ²M Preserve goes on thin and even with a clean foam or microfibre applicator. Don’t wipe it straight after – the layer needs 30 to 60 minutes (depending on temperature and humidity) to flash off and start curing. Only then – and only if there’s anything left – do you take the excess off with a soft microfibre towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn badly greyed panels you can lay a second coat once the first has fully cured (4 hours minimum). After the last coat, keep the car away from water for 4 to 6 hours if you can. With normal care and regular washing with mild shampoos, one application holds for several months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSiO₂ vs oil: what actually lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core difference to conventional trim dressings is the bonding chemistry. Oil and silicone products build a physical film that weather and mechanical contact wear away – often after just a few washes. GYEON Q²M Preserve cross-links chemically instead: the SiO₂ molecules bond with the polymer chains in the plastic. That makes the layer far more durable, much harder to wash off, and gives the trim a more natural, less plasticky look along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the last bit of visual polish for a show or a meet, you can spray the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-quickdetailer-quick-detailer-carnaubawachs\"\u003eGYEON Q²M QuickDetailer\u003c\/a\u003e over the cured Preserve layer as a top layer.

For a first application, or on a heavily soiled interior, clean and seal it properly first, then use PurifyMaintain as a top-up every 4–6 weeks. That keeps the antibacterial layer working all the time.\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Purify line: a system, not a single product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Purify line GYEON built a properly thought-out system for car interiors: Q²M Purify as the base coating for the first seal, Q²M PurifyMaintain as the maintenance product for regular top-ups.

On cars that are out all day, or through cold season, going more often makes sense.

PurifyMaintain is especially effective here because it doesn't just clean the surface, it actively protects it.

If you end up with glossy patches, just buff them back with a dry cloth until the matte finish comes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result: plastics that look cared-for, rich in colour and naturally matte. Not brand new, not oiled up, not neglected – just the way a well-kept car should sit. The protective film holds for 2–4 weeks depending on use, then you top it up in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior plastic protection – UV defence and the long game\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-term payoff of the \u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e shows over months and years: plastics that get protected regularly hold their colour and flex far longer than untreated ones. It's clearest on cars that live out in the sun – compare the driver's side with the passenger side and you'll spot the UV difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of the UV side, the film keeps dust and grime from settling into the pores of the plastic. That makes the next clean far easier – and cuts down how much work the interior needs over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works on every plastic and vinyl part inside: dash, door cards, centre console, steering column, glovebox lid and the A\/B\/C pillar trims. Keep it off leather and fabric – there are dedicated products for those, like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/meguiars-gold-class-rich-leather-gel-lederpflege\"\u003eGOLD CLASS Rich Leather Gel\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCockpit dressing compared – NATURAL SHINE vs. NEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's runs two trim dressings: the \u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/meguiars-new-car-scent-protectant-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/a\u003e. Both protect plastics with UV protection and leave a cared-for finish. The difference: the NEW CAR SCENT carries a new-car scent that makes the cabin smell fresh off the lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn protection and finish quality the two are on par. It comes down to scent: if you like that new-car smell, grab the NEW CAR SCENT; if you'd rather keep it neutral, go with the NATURAL SHINE. Both give you the same naturally matte finish with UV protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying plastic care – who the NATURAL SHINE is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMeguiar's NATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e is worth it for any owner who wants a tidy interior without the fake shine.

The scent spreads through the closed cabin and holds the longest that way. It works best after a proper clean-up with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/meguiars-all-surface-interior-cleaner-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eALL-SURFACE Interior Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e – on clean surfaces the product bonds better and the scent isn't fighting old smells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNew-car scent – how the fragrance system works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e combines trim-care actives with a fragrance concentrate that recreates that typical new-car smell. In reality the \"New Car Smell\" is a mix of off-gassing from fresh plastics, leather and adhesives – a smell most people instinctively tie to newness and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance concentrate in NEW CAR SCENT is formulated to release slowly off the plastic surfaces. The upshot: right after you apply it the scent is strong, then it eases off over 3–5 days. That's far nicer and longer-lasting than fragrance sprays, which hit hard straight away and vanish within hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the scent is tied to the trim care, it gets topped up every time you dress the interior. Treat the cabin every 2–3 weeks with NEW CAR SCENT and you'll keep a fresh-smelling interior for good – a bonus that really lands with high-mileage cars or pet owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScented interior care – how to use it and what you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou use the \u003cstrong\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e exactly like NATURAL SHINE: spray the product onto a microfibre cloth and spread it evenly over the plastic surfaces. The dashboard, door panels, centre console and A\/B\/C pillars are the usual spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame rule here: less is more. A thin coat gives you the natural finish and enough scent for several days. Too much product can leave an overwhelming smell at first and an unwanted shine. If you overdo it, buff back with a dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe care result is identical to NATURAL SHINE: a natural, matte finish, UV protection, no sticky residue. The only difference is the new-car scent, which lifts the drive and gives the cabin a fresh feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCar fragrance – results and how long the scent lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enew-car scent\u003c\/strong\u003e from NEW CAR SCENT Protectant is subtler and more authentic than air fresheners or clip-on diffusers. You don't clock it the second you get in – it comes through as a pleasant background note that lifts the overall feel of the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent holds for 3–7 days, depending on temperature and ventilation. In summer heat it flashes off faster; in cooler weather it lasts longer. Reapply every 2–3 weeks and the scent overlaps and stays constantly there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent doesn't mask bad smells – it tops off a clean interior. If you've got smoke, pet or damp smells in the car, do a deep clean first and reach for a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/meguiars\/geruchsentferner\"\u003eMeguiar's Air Re-Fresher\u003c\/a\u003e before you lay down NEW CAR SCENT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNew-car scent compared – NEW CAR SCENT vs. Air Re-Fresher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's gives you two routes to a fresh-smelling car: the \u003cstrong\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e as a dressing with fragrance, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/meguiars\/geruchsentferner\"\u003eAir Re-Fresher aerosols\u003c\/a\u003e as a pure scent fix.

NEW CAR SCENT covers mild everyday smells and pairs fragrance with surface care.
