This universally applicable interior cleaner cleans plastics, upholstery, headliners, and dashboards in one step — without streaks or a greasy film.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle interior is one of the most demanding cleaning tasks in detailing: within a few square meters, very different surfaces meet — hard plastic-like dashboards, textile seat covers, soft synthetic leather trim, rubber seals, and textile headliners. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Car Interior Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for precisely this task: a universal cleaner that reliably cleans all these surfaces without requiring a specially formulated product for each material type. This saves time, protects the budget, and significantly simplifies interior cleaning. The formula leaves no sticky film, no whitish residues, and no streaks — which is crucial, especially on dark plastics and black trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal cleaning formula for almost all interior surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e From the dashboard to door panels, upholstery, and headliners — the interior cleaner is approved for a wide range of materials.

The XTREME Interior Cleaner formula is pleasantly scented and leaves a fresh impression after cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray the interior cleaner onto a slightly damp microfiber cloth — not directly onto the surface. This prevents excessive dampening of seams, gaps, and ventilation slots. For dashboards and door panels, work in sections: clean one area completely before moving to the next — this way, nothing dries before it's worked on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior Cleaner Formula — Why Universal Doesn't Mean Superficial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen many people think of universal cleaners, they immediately think of compromise products: something that can do a little bit of everything, but nothing really well. This is not the case with specialized vehicle interior cleaners like the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner — and the reason lies in the formulation chemistry. The trick is the selection of surfactants that work equally well on both hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces like textiles and hydrophobic (water-repellent) plastics. The combination of mild anionic surfactants and amphoteric excipients allows for dissolving greasy fingerprints on plastics as well as dried dirt residues on upholstery. The pH value is slightly alkaline — strong enough to dissolve organic dirt like skin oils, food residues, and everyday grime, but gentle enough not to damage surfaces. However, the universal interior cleaner should be used with caution on Alcantara: for targeted stains, the specialized Upholstery + Alcantara Stain Remover is recommended. The universal product is suitable for general basic cleaning of most interior materials, but for sensitive premium textiles, a product-specific cleaner is the safer choice. For hard plastic, rubber, standard fabric, and synthetic leather, the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner is unreservedly recommended. It is also important to understand that the cleaner has no conditioning effect — it cleans but does not form a protective film. If you want to protect plastics from UV fading after cleaning, you should complete the workflow with a plastic conditioner or cockpit detailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding dilution: the interior cleaner is formulated ready-to-use and should not be further diluted. This is intentional — the concentration is designed for direct application to the cloth. If you dilute the product, you risk the cleaning power not being sufficient for heavy soiling. Conversely, an excessively large amount does not need to be applied: a moderate amount on the cloth is sufficient for a complete area. Economically dosed, this results in a very good price-performance ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Interior Cleaner Correctly — Step-by-Step Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you start cleaning, it's worth briefly dusting the interior. Coarse dirt that has accumulated on storage trays, in the footwells, and on seats should first be removed with a car vacuum cleaner. If you skip this step, you risk stirring up fine dust with the cleaner and smearing it over clean surfaces instead of removing it. A quick vacuuming before wet cleaning makes the actual work much more effective and the result significantly cleaner. This preparatory step is not mentioned in any product description, but it makes a big difference to the outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe order of interior cleaning is crucial for a good result. Always start at the top and work your way down: first the headliner, then the A\/B\/C pillars, then the dashboard, then the door panels, then the seats, and finally the floor mats and carpets. This way, dirt released during cleaning always falls onto untouched surfaces and not onto freshly cleaned ones. For the dashboard: spray the cleaner onto a soft microfiber cloth and wipe in the direction of the plastic structure. For patterned or ribbed surfaces, a soft brush helps to loosen residues from the recesses before wiping with the cloth. For ventilation slots and panel gaps, a detailing brush or a folded microfiber cloth is ideal for working out dust and dirt from hard-to-reach areas. For seats and upholstered surfaces: the microfiber cloth should be slightly damp, but not wet. For fabric upholstery, work in circular motions and then dry the seat with a dry cloth to prevent moisture from remaining in the upholstery. Door handles, control buttons, and switches — all surfaces touched daily — should be cleaned most intensively, as skin oils and fingerprints accumulate there. Here, the interior cleaner is particularly effective, as it completely dissolves greasy marks without damaging the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, we recommend a two-stage approach for heavily soiled vehicles: First, perform a basic cleaning with the interior cleaner, dissolving the heaviest layers of dirt. After drying, re-check the surfaces and specifically re-clean where residues remain. This second pass is significantly faster than the first but delivers a much cleaner result than a single pass under time pressure. For new vehicles or regularly maintained interiors, a single pass is completely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother tip for working in winter: Cold temperatures can slightly reduce the cleaning effect because surfactant activity is temperature-dependent. If possible, clean the interior in a heated garage or warm up the vehicle beforehand. At room temperature, the cleaner develops its full effect and dries more evenly than in an icy cold vehicle. In summer, on the other hand, avoid cleaning the interior in direct sunlight, as the product can dry too quickly before you can wipe it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application — Which Surfaces the Interior Cleaner Masters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question is about odor development during cleaning. Some vehicle interiors — especially after being parked for a long time, after winter, or in vehicles where people have smoked — absorb unpleasant odors. The interior cleaner itself does not eliminate odors from upholstery and textiles but removes the dirt that causes the odor. In many cases, light odors disappear on their own. For strong odors like tobacco or pet odors, a special odor neutralizer that acts directly on the source can also help. The combination of thorough cleaning and targeted odor control provides the complete result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Car Interior Cleaner is designed for the following surfaces: hard plastics (dashboard, door panels, center console), soft plastics (door linings, storage compartments), rubber (seal frames, pedal covers), standard textile upholstery (fabric seat covers, carpets), synthetic leather and PU coatings, and textile headliners. The formula is the same for all these surfaces regarding application movements and dwell times: spray onto a cloth, wipe, let dry. No long dwell times, no special tools. This makes the interior cleaner particularly attractive for businesses that need to prepare many vehicles in a short amount of time. A basic interior cleaning with the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner takes approximately 20–40 minutes for a normal car, depending on the degree of soiling and the diligence of the work. If you want to specifically treat individual problem spots on upholstery afterwards, choose the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-polster-alcantarafleckentferner-polsterreiniger\"\u003eXTREME Upholstery + Alcantara Stain Remover\u003c\/a\u003e for precise spot treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne area of application that is rarely mentioned: the product is also suitable for cleaning trunks, loading areas, and trim in the rear of the vehicle. Especially in SUVs, station wagons, and vans, loading areas made of synthetic leather or hard plastic are exposed to heavy soiling. The interior cleaner cleans these areas just as reliably as the actual passenger compartment. Trailer interiors, motorhome trim, and boat interiors are also possible application areas, provided the surfaces correspond to the product's material spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with particularly light interiors — white or light beige leather and synthetic leather — the principle always applies: test in an inconspicuous area first. Light surfaces react more sensitively to residues than dark ones. Although the interior cleaner is formulated to be residue-free, for light surfaces, particularly careful post-drying is recommended to avoid any trace of residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior Cleaner Comparison — XTREME vs. PROFILINE and Special Cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX range includes several interior cleaners that meet different requirements. The universal everyday cleaner is ideal for beginners and occasional users: inexpensive, versatile, quick to use. For continuous professional use in businesses, SONAX offers the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-innenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003ePROFILINE Interior Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, which is more concentrated, available in larger containers, and optimized for particularly stubborn interior dirt. The PROFILINE cleaner also allows for dilution — an important advantage for businesses that want to use the same cleaner in different strengths depending on the application situation: highly concentrated for heavily soiled vehicles upon arrival, more diluted for weekly refreshment. Those who specifically want to clean and at the same time care for plastic surfaces in the interior will find the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-cockpitreiniger-matt-effect-innenraumpflege\"\u003eXTREME Cockpit Cleaner \"Matt-Effect\"\u003c\/a\u003e in the range as a specialized solution for plastic surfaces with a subtle care effect and a matte finish. For most private individuals and semi-professional users, the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner is the right entry-level product: the 500 ml bottle is sufficient for many applications, the price is attractive, and handling is completely uncomplicated. Those who want to delve deeper and regularly prepare vehicles professionally will switch to the concentrated PROFILINE products in the medium term — but as a first interior cleaning product or as an addition for beginners, the XTREME Interior Cleaner is just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth paying attention to synergies in your own detailing kit: those who regularly use the interior cleaner also benefit from having a specialized upholstery cleaner for the seats and a plastic conditioner for the dashboard on hand. The combination of cleaning, stain removal, and conditioning covers the complete interior workflow — quickly, effectively, and with professional results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, a note for anyone wondering if the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner is also suitable for older vehicles with faded or damaged plastics: Yes, with limitations. The product cleans reliably, but cannot optically enhance faded surfaces — that is the job of a plastic conditioner or cockpit dressing. For very old, worn plastics that are already roughened or porous, we recommend working particularly gently and not using abrasive movements. Cleaning works there too, but the appearance of the plastics themselves will only be improved by subsequent conditioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Recommendation — For Whom the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner Is the First Choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical question first: Is the 500 ml bottle enough for one vehicle? Yes, easily — with normal dosing onto a microfiber cloth, only a few milliliters are used for a complete interior cleaning of a car. A bottle therefore lasts for many months, even with regular use. For detailing businesses that process several vehicles daily, the 500 ml bottle is more of a consumable, which is why the PROFILINE variant in larger containers is more economical there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a universal interior cleaner that delivers reliable results without much effort, the SONAX XTREME Car Interior Cleaner is a clear recommendation. It is particularly suitable for vehicle owners who regularly maintain their interior and do not want to use a special cleaner for every surface. The 500 ml bottle is sufficient for many complete interior cleanings — with economical dosing onto the cloth, it easily lasts for twenty or more applications. For families with children who often leave dirt and food residues in the car interior, a reliable universal cleaner like this is indispensable. For used car dealers and detailers who prepare vehicles daily, the product is ideal as a standard cleaner — in combination with a vacuum cleaner and a good microfiber cloth, it forms the basis of any professional interior detailing. If you then want to protect and enhance the vehicle, supplement the workflow with a plastic conditioner for the dashboard and door panels and a textile protection spray for the upholstery. The XTREME Car Interior Cleaner product is consciously the first step, not the last — a thoroughly cleaned interior is a prerequisite for any meaningful care measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone who wants to know how often the interior should be cleaned: As a rule of thumb, once a month with normal use, and after every longer vacation or winter operation. With intensive use — for example, in vehicles used daily for carpooling, as company cars, or in commercial passenger transport — a weekly basic cleaning of the heavily used contact surfaces is recommended. If you often bring snowy or dirty shoes into the vehicle in winter, you should clean the floor mats more often. In summer, skin oil residues accumulate mainly on the steering wheel, gearstick, and door handles — here, a short weekly cleaning is worthwhile to prevent layers from building up. Regular care keeps the effort small and the result presentable at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160877834575,"sku":"D1-SNX-02212410","price":10.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Auto-Innen-Reiniger-Innenraumreiniger-0.png?v=1721514345"},{"product_id":"sonax-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger","title":"CleanStar \"Ecocert\" interior cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eClean a whole interior, every surface at once — with the SONAX CleanStar EcoCert\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX CleanStar EcoCert do?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CleanStar EcoCert\u003c\/strong\u003e solves that with a single bottle: a mild, ready-to-use spray that gets every material in the cabin clean, with no residue, no streaks and no risk of surface damage on the sensitive bits. On top of that comes the ECOCERT Greenlife certification — a mark of quality for detailers who care about what goes into their care products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne formula for every interior surface.\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass, piano black, fabric, Alcantara, leather, plastic, touchscreen displays — the CleanStar works on all of them with no streaks, residue or discolouration.

After cleaning you're left with a pleasant, fresh scent that lifts the interior without feeling artificial or in-your-face. On cars with smoke or pet smells baked in, that's a difference you can actually notice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always spray the CleanStar straight onto a microfibre cloth, never onto the surface — that keeps overspray off the neighbouring materials and gives you far more control over how much moisture goes down. On touchscreens and piano-black surfaces work with minimal pressure and follow up straight away with a dry, clean cloth. For stubborn upholstery grime, rinse the cloth out with clean water now and then and re-spray — repeat until the cloth still looks clean as you wipe. That way you never rub dirt you've already picked up back into the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn interior cleaner for every surface — how the CleanStar's universal formula works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost interior cleaners are tuned for one class of material: either plastic, or glass, or textiles. A true universal cleaner has to work on wildly different surfaces — from smooth, water-repellent glass and piano-black panels through porous textiles and upholstery to delicate microfibre materials like Alcantara. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CleanStar EcoCert\u003c\/strong\u003e pulls that off with a mild, pH-neutral formula that lifts dirt without swelling, bleaching or leaving residue behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic idea: the cleaner breaks the bond between dirt molecules and the surface, so you lift the loosened dirt off with the microfibre cloth instead of rubbing it deeper in. On absorbent materials like fabric or Alcantara, the streak-free drying formula stops water rings — a common problem with cleaners that carry too much surfactant and leave white rings or marks as they dry. On non-absorbent surfaces like glass or high-gloss plastic, the leftover moisture flashes off cleanly, so you get streak-free results even without a heavy second wipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ECOCERT certification isn't only about the green side — it's also an indirect signal about the formula itself: certified surfactants and ingredients have to meet set biodegradability and compatibility standards, which by the same token means the harshest or hardest-to-break-down chemicals are ruled out. That lowers the risk of unwanted reactions on sensitive materials — which helps explain why you can use the cleaner on so many different surfaces without specific compatibility checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn interior cleaner for touchscreens and piano black — what sets this one apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitive areas like infotainment touchscreens, high-gloss piano-black trim and matte-lacquer surfaces call for extra care. Harsh cleaners can leave micro-damage on these: touchscreens lose their oleophobic protective layer and get harder to operate, piano black shows fine wipe marks or hazing, and matte surfaces pick up unwanted glossy spots where you rub. The CleanStar is explicitly cleared for these surfaces — the formula is mild enough that it doesn't attack protective layers or change the character of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith touchscreens and piano black, the application technique matters as much as the product: little moisture on the cloth, minimal pressure, no circular rubbing — straight wipes parallel to the surface instead. On piano black, go for a single pass with a soft microfibre cloth, followed by a dry buffing or glass-polishing cloth. On mirror-like touchscreen displays the result comes out streak-free, as long as the cloth itself is clean and free of coarse particles — a grubby or linty cloth is the most common cause of scratches on displays and high-gloss areas, not the cleaning product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CleanStar is especially handy for modern cars, where touchscreens on the dashboard sit alongside plastic trim, leather panels or aluminium inlays. Instead of keeping several products within reach and swapping every time the material changes, you work the whole cockpit with a single cloth and one bottle — that saves time and cuts out the classic mistake of putting the wrong product on the wrong surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn interior cleaner for Alcantara, leather and plastic — where it earns its keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern cabin is a mix of materials: dashboard and door cards in hard plastic or soft-touch lacquer, seats in fabric, leather or Alcantara, headliner in textile, centre console in piano black or aluminium look. Add in rubber seals, carpet, steering wheel and gear knob — every material has its own surface and its own sensitivity. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CleanStar EcoCert\u003c\/strong\u003e covers all of it, so you can run a full interior pass without switching products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn leather, the cleaner pulls off surface dirt, greasy build-up and light stains without stripping the natural moisture out of the surface. That said: cleaning is no substitute for leather care. After cleaning with the CleanStar it makes sense to follow up with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-leathercleaner-lederreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e or a leather conditioner, to put moisture back and keep the leather supple over the long run. Clean leather hard and then skip the care, and over time you're risking it drying out and cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Alcantara, the cleaner lifts grease spots, light everyday grime and odour particles without damaging or matting down the signature velour pile. The key when working Alcantara: always use little moisture and wipe in one even direction (following the pile), never rub in circles. After cleaning let it dry briefly, then brush the pile back up if needed with a dry, soft cloth or a soft brush to restore the texture. For deeper grime or stains that don't fully lift on the first pass, a second go or a dedicated upholstery stain remover may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn hard plastics, rubber surfaces and carpets the cleaner shows its strongest side: here you can lay it on with a bit more pressure and a bit more moisture, with no risk to the surface. On heavily soiled carpets or floor mats it pays to let the cleaner dwell for a moment (30–60 seconds) before you go in with the cloth — that gives it time to loosen the dirt before you lift it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComparison: CleanStar EcoCert vs. other interior cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to specialised products the CleanStar has one clear edge: if you want to fully clean a car's interior, you don't need a big line-up — you just need one bottle. That makes it especially appealing for end customers who care for their car themselves, without any specific detailing background. Against the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-autoinnenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX XTREME interior cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, the CleanStar scores with its ECOCERT certification and its explicit clearance for piano black and touchscreens. The XTREME interior cleaner leans more towards stubborn everyday grime with no material limits, where how gentle the cleaner is matters less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work in a body shop or pro detailing setting and need bigger volumes, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar EcoCert\u003c\/a\u003e is the more economical route — identical formula, available in 5, 25 and 200-litre containers that decant straight through a Sprayboy.

It's a particularly good fit for cars with mixed interiors (leather + Alcantara + plastic + touchscreen), for owners of high-end cars who don't want to take any chances cleaning piano black or displays, and for anyone who values ecologically certified ingredients in their cleaning products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 750 ml bottle lasts for plenty of cleaning passes in everyday use — it's ready to use, goes on straight from the bottle and needs no dilution.

This silicone-free interior care product cleans, nourishes, and seals all plastic surfaces in the vehicle interior — without high gloss, antistatic, dust-repellent, and specially designed for matte textures and soft-touch surfaces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has ever sprayed the wrong cockpit spray onto their matte dashboard knows the result: an oily, shiny surface where the sun reflects off the windshield, and which attracts even more dust after a few days than before. This is not a cleaning problem — but a problem of using the wrong product. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed precisely for this case: an interior care product that treats matte plastic surfaces the way they should be treated — without high gloss, without annoying reflections, with an antistatic protective layer, and a pleasant fresh scent. The result is an interior that looks fresh because it is fresh — not because it has been polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintains the original matte appearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern cockpits with finely grained dashboards and soft-touch surfaces require care that does not apply a glossy film. The Matt-Effect seals the surface while maintaining the original fine texture — without changing the manufacturer's matte appearance. This is not a minor detail: a brightened glossy film on the dashboard means reflections in the field of vision and a cockpit that no longer looks factory-fresh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntistatic and dust-repellent in one step.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic surfaces in the interior become electrostatically charged and thus attract dust and fine particles. The Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect reliably prevents this electrostatic charge — and thus also rapid re-soiling. A cockpit that attracts less dust after cleaning stays clean longer. This reduces the cleaning frequency and protects the surface through fewer mechanical treatments over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone and solvent-free for safe application.\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone can permanently glue surfaces and cause problems during later paintwork. Solvents attack plastics, especially soft-touch coatings. The silicone-free and solvent-free formulation not only protects the surface but is also suitable for more sensitive materials like wood trim — without risking damage to the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never spray the cockpit cleaner directly onto the surface — especially not near displays, air vents, or switches. Apply the product to a SONAX Microfiber Care Pad or a lint-free microfiber cloth, and work the surfaces evenly with it. This prevents overspray onto sensitive areas and ensures more even distribution without streaks. Let the surface dry briefly afterwards — then the protective layer will unfold its full antistatic effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatte plastic care in the interior — how Matt-Effect technology works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between a normal cockpit spray and the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e lies not in the cleaning mechanism, but in the sealing component. Normal cockpit sprays — especially older formulations — often contain silicones or oily carriers that give the cleaned surface a silky or high-gloss sheen. This briefly looks \"freshly cared for\" but has several disadvantages: silicones can embed dust, oils can form sticky residues over time, and the shine is distracting on modern dashboards that are factory-textured matte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Matt-Effect formulation works with a water-based solution without silicones and solvents. The sealing component is a thin, transparent protective layer that embeds itself in the fine surface structure of the plastic without visually altering it. The grain is preserved, the matte finish is preserved — but the surface is now protected and antistatically charged. This is why the cockpit does not appear \"polished\" after treatment, but simply clean and well-maintained — just as it was delivered by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe antistatic effect is particularly relevant in practice. Plastics — especially soft-touch surfaces — are inherently electrostatic. They attract fine dust particles from the air, often shortly after cleaning. The antistatic component of Matt-Effect neutralizes this charge and ensures that particles no longer adhere as easily to the surface. The result is measurable: a dashboard that stays clean significantly longer after treatment with Matt-Effect than one that was merely wiped with a normal damp cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatt-Effect is also suitable for wood trim. Real or artificial wood in the interior is sensitive to aggressive cleaners or silicone-containing products — the silicone-free formulation eliminates this risk. The matte protective effect also aesthetically matches the often matte or satin wood surfaces of modern vehicles better than a high-gloss spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn often-overlooked advantage is reflection control. Dashboards that have a glossy film cause light reflections on the windshield when exposed to sunlight — a safety problem that can be self-inflicted by improper cockpit care. Matt-Effect prevents this by design: no silicones, no gloss, no reflections. The result is not only visually better but also safety-relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect correctly — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication is straightforward, but a few details make all the difference. Shake the bottle briefly before first use so that all components are well distributed. Turn the spray nozzle to the spray position. Now apply the product to a SONAX Microfiber Care Pad or a soft, lint-free cloth — not directly onto the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen work the surfaces evenly in small sections. Excessive application does not provide an additional cleaning effect, but rather leaves streaks. A thin, even film on the pad is sufficient. Let the treated areas dry briefly afterwards — the protective layer and the antistatic effect develop during drying. No subsequent polishing is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: Do not use the Cockpit Cleaner on heated surfaces — in direct sunlight or after a long drive. The product will dry too quickly and may leave streaks. In the shade or in a cooled vehicle, the result will be significantly more even. The Cockpit Cleaner should also not be used on leather, steering wheels, pedals, windows, as well as displays, radios, and navigation devices — the surfaces and materials differ too much from plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn dirt, pre-cleaning with a stronger interior cleaner is recommended — more on this in the comparison chapter. The Matt-Effect is not a stain remover, but a nourishing sealant. A combination of thorough pre-cleaning and subsequent Matt-Effect treatment yields the best results: first deep clean, then protect and seal. This two-step approach cleanly separates cleaning and care — the cleaner can be more aggressive because the sensitive sealant is only applied in the second step. This way, no cleaning performance is hindered by too much care product, and no sealant is immediately removed by aggressive cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same principle applies to the care of wood trim. Lightly moisten the pad, apply evenly, let dry. No dwell time, no post-treatment. The product is ready to use immediately, and the effort per application remains minimal — a clear advantage for regular interior maintenance. Especially with regular use every two to three weeks, the care accumulates over time: each treatment builds up the protective layer and renews the antistatic effect, so the cleaning effort per session gradually decreases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft-touch, dashboard, wood — where Matt-Effect shows its strengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModern vehicle interiors are a mix of materials: hard plastic, soft-touch areas, decorative strips made of brushed aluminum or artificial wood, sometimes real wood. This raises the question for every care product whether it is really suitable for all these surfaces or only for a part of them. The Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect is suitable for all plastic surfaces and wood trim — explicitly also for soft-touch areas, which represent the most sensitive category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft-touch surfaces have a soft, rubber-like coating that is pleasant to the touch but sensitive to solvents and silicone-containing products. Incorrect care leads to discoloration, stickiness, or the slow detachment of the coating. Since Matt-Effect is silicone- and solvent-free, this risk is completely eliminated. The matte surface of the soft-touch coating is retained, and the antistatic protective layer works particularly effectively on these materials because soft-touch plastics are among the strongest dust attractors in the interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDashboards with a fine-grained structure — as installed in most mid-range and premium vehicles — particularly benefit from the Matt-Effect formula. The sealant embeds itself in the grain structure without filling it or visually altering it. The original appearance is 100% retained. At the same time, the small depressions in the grain structure, where dust and dirt prefer to settle, are less accessible after treatment — the antistatic effect also reduces particle accumulation in hard-to-reach micro-areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoor panels, center consoles, and storage compartments made of hard plastic are also ideal application areas. Especially the center console and door handle areas are high-frequency contact surfaces that require regular care. The protective layer of Matt-Effect forms a barrier against dirt accumulation and makes cleaning easier next time — dirt adheres less strongly to the sealed surface and can be removed with less effort. Especially in vehicles that are regularly used by multiple people — family cars, company vehicles, or rental vehicles — the protection against re-soiling in these contact zones is a real everyday advantage. The antistatic effect also reduces the accumulation of fingerprints and skin particles on matte plastic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCockpit Cleaners compared — Matt-Effect, Plastic Detailer, and Car Interior Cleaner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX XTREME range, there are several products for the interior that complement each other in their function. Understanding the differences helps in choosing the right product for each application. First, a classification: The Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect is primarily a \u003cem\u003ecare and sealing product\u003c\/em\u003e for plastic surfaces — not an aggressive cleaner for heavily soiled interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-autoinnenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eXTREME Car Interior Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the stronger cleaning counterpart. It removes grease stains, beverage residues, and deep-seated dirt from plastic surfaces and textiles — with a surfactant-containing cleaning formula that Matt-Effect does not have. For heavily soiled interiors, the Car Interior Cleaner is the first choice; after cleaning, Matt-Effect is the logical second step for care and sealing. The combination of both products covers the entire care workflow: thoroughly clean, then protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-kunststoffdetailer-innen-aussen-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eXTREME Plastic Detailer Interior+Exterior\u003c\/a\u003e is a universal product for all plastic parts on the entire vehicle — interior and exterior, including the engine compartment. It cares for and protects plastic and rejuvenates slightly weathered surfaces. In the interior, it is a good alternative if a product is sought for all plastic areas. The difference to Matt-Effect: The Plastic Detailer creates a slight shine — which is often desired for exterior and engine compartment, but can be undesirable on matte surfaces in the interior. For truly matte dashboards and soft-touch surfaces, Matt-Effect is the more precise choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an upgrade for vehicles with special demands on plastic protection, it is worth taking a look at the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-kunststoff-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Plastic Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e — a ceramic coating product for plastic that offers longer durability than a nourishing sealant. The effort and preparation are higher, but the protection is more permanent. Matt-Effect is the solution for regular maintenance; the Ceramic Sealant for intensive basic treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying interior care — for whom is SONAX XTREME Cockpit Cleaner worthwhile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right product for anyone who wants to care for their vehicle interior without altering the matte appearance of the surfaces. This applies especially to drivers of modern vehicles with finely grained dashboards, soft-touch areas, and matte trim — essentially every vehicle from the last ten to fifteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has previously used a conventional cockpit spray and finds that the dashboard shines, gets dusty, or quickly gets dirty again will find a direct improvement in Matt-Effect. The antistatic effect is not a marketing promise, but a tangible everyday advantage: Anyone who treats their interior with Matt-Effect every two to three weeks will notice that the cleaning intervals become longer — because less dust adheres and existing dirt is easier to remove. In addition, the protective layer develops a slightly stronger barrier effect with each application. This is not a linear build-up like with a ceramic coating, but over weeks of regular use, a noticeable difference compared to a single treatment can be observed — the interior simply stays clean longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicle detailers, the Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect is a standard product in interior cleaning. It delivers fast, reproducible results without streaks and without risk to sensitive surfaces. The 500 ml bottle with spray makes it practical for mobile applications and allows for many interior treatments per bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensible combination for complete interior care: First clean with the XTREME Car Interior Cleaner, then seal and protect with the Matt-Effect. For vehicles with high demands on durability, the XTREME Ceramic Plastic Sealant can be used as a base sealant, which is then maintained with regular Matt-Effect care. This system provides well-maintained plastic surfaces that look better and are easier to keep clean in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XTREME Cockpit Cleaner Matt-Effect is therefore a clear recommendation for anyone who values a well-maintained vehicle interior — without compromising the appearance of the surfaces and without risk to sensitive materials. Easy to use, quick results, and suitable for all common plastic surfaces: this is interior care as it should work in everyday life. Once you switch to a product that truly respects the matte finish of its surfaces, you won't want a glossy cockpit spray back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49344971800911,"sku":"D1-SNX-283241","price":9.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-xtreme-cockpitreiniger-matt-effect-innenraumpflege.png?v=1721572898"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger","title":"PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer Interior Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGentle Cleaning for Sensitive Interior Surfaces — SONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer do?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/strong\u003e has been specially developed for these sensitive materials: a mild, alcohol-free cleaning formula that removes fingerprints, skin oils, dust residues, and light dirt without attacking display coatings, damaging Alcantara fibers, or leaving streaks on soft-touch surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle cleaning for displays and touchscreens.\u003c\/strong\u003e Infotainment displays and instrument clusters in modern vehicles are equipped with anti-glare coatings, oleophobic touchscreen protective layers, and UV-absorbing topcoats. Conventional cleaners with alcohol or strong surfactants can damage these sensitive coatings, create streaks, or permanently impair the anti-glare effect. The SensitiveSurface Detailer is formulated to remove fingerprints and grease marks from display surfaces without attacking the protective layers — the result is a clear, streak-free display surface with no residue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for Alcantara, velour, and sensitive textiles.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alcantara is a high-performance material based on polyester microfibers, used in many premium vehicles for steering wheels, seats, and headliners. It is sensitive to moisture and reacts to too much solvent with discoloration, shiny spots, or matted fibers. The SensitiveSurface Detailer contains no free alcohol and is so mild in its dosage that it cleans Alcantara surfaces without damaging the fibers or leaving drying spots — provided it is used sparingly according to the instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntistatic effect reduces new dust accumulation.\u003c\/strong\u003e A frequently overlooked property of interior cleaners is their behavior towards electrostatic charge: plastic surfaces in the interior become statically charged due to friction and attract dust. The SensitiveSurface Detailer contains antistatic agents that reduce this charge after cleaning — the result is a surface that remains dust-free significantly longer after cleaning than after treatment with conventional cleaners without this additional function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never spray the SensitiveSurface Detailer directly onto display surfaces — the spray can penetrate ventilation slots or under display bezels and damage electrical components. Instead, spray it onto a clean, soft microfiber cloth and wipe the display surface with light, circular motions. For Alcantara surfaces, only slightly dampen the cloth — do not soak it — and always work in the direction of the fibers to avoid creating shiny spots. For stubborn dirt on textiles and Alcantara, we recommend the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-leathercleaner-lederreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e for leather surfaces as a complementary specialized product. After cleaning, allow it to dry briefly until the surface dries to a matte finish — the antistatic film is then active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMild Cleaning Chemistry — How the SensitiveSurface Detailer Protects Sensitive Surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenge in developing an interior cleaner for sensitive surfaces lies in balancing sufficient cleaning power with minimal surface stress. Conventional alkaline cleaners work with a pH value of 9–12 and strong surfactants that effectively dissolve organic contaminants (fats, oils, proteins) — but at the same time attack coatings, paints, and plasticizers. Solvent-based cleaners remove stubborn stains, but leave dissolution artifacts on sensitive surfaces and can attack polyester microfibers in Alcantara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a mild surfactant technology in the neutral pH range: the cleaning molecules encapsulate dirt particles (finger grease, dust particles, light color marks) and detach them from the surface without chemically stressing the material. The formula contains neither alcohol nor strongly alkaline buffer substances — both classes of substances are known to attack display coatings and make matte paint surfaces greasy. Instead, the Detailer works with gentle surfactants specifically selected for cleaning sensitive plastic and textile materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe antistatic active ingredient content of the Detailer is another technical feature: quaternary ammonium compounds or polymer-based antistatic additives deposit as an ultra-thin film on the cleaned surface after cleaning, preventing renewed electrostatic charge. This effect is particularly effective in dry environments (heated cabins, low humidity) and measurably extends the dust-free phase after cleaning. This is an economic advantage for detailing businesses: vehicles remain in the condition they were delivered to the customer for longer, which increases satisfaction and reduces complaints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation of the SensitiveSurface Detailer is also optimized so that it leaves no streaks or whitish residues after cleaning, which can occur with alkaline cleaners due to carbonate deposits. On glass surfaces, in dark plastic areas, and on high-gloss displays, a streak-free drying formula is indispensable — any drying with visible residues must be re-worked with an additional wiping process, which costs time and stresses the surface more than necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying SensitiveSurface Detailer Correctly — Step-by-Step in the Interior\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct application of the interior cleaner begins with preparing the surface to be cleaned. Loose dust particles and dry dirt should first be brushed off with a soft brush or a microfiber duster — if these particles are moved when wiping with a damp cloth, they can leave fine scratches on sensitive surfaces. This applies particularly to display surfaces, where even the finest sand can cause microscopic scratches that permanently impair the reflection on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication step: Spray the Detailer onto a clean, soft microfiber cloth — not directly onto the surface. The amount should be chosen so that the cloth is slightly dampened, but no free liquid film forms on the cloth that could drip onto sensitive surfaces. With the dampened cloth, wipe the surface with light, even pressure — circular motions are suitable for displays; on Alcantara and velour, always work in the direction of the fibers. Loosen stubborn stains by allowing a short dwell time: place the cloth on the spot, let it act for 15–30 seconds, then wipe. Do not rub — the Detailer dissolves the dirt so that it can be removed, not mechanically forced off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal step: Polish with the dry side of the same cloth or a second dry microfiber cloth to remove the last traces of moisture and achieve a uniform, matte finish. On high-gloss displays, this step is particularly important, as even small traces of moisture can become visible as streaks in glancing light. The antistatic finish of the Detailer is active after drying — no additional treatment is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional use, we recommend a sectional approach in the vehicle interior: first displays and instruments, then center console and door panels, then seats and textiles — from clean to dirty, from top to bottom, so that no dirt particles from already cleaned areas are transferred to cleaned surfaces. This order is a professional standard that improves cleaning quality and reduces overall processing time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application for SensitiveSurface Detailer — Which Surfaces Benefit Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior cleaner is particularly valuable for vehicles with a combination of sensitive materials, which are standard in modern premium vehicles today. Modern high-performance vehicles with large touchscreen integrations (current Mercedes, BMW, and Audi models with integrated display strips) have a variety of display surfaces, all of which react sensitively to alcohol and alkaline cleaners. The SensitiveSurface Detailer can be used on all these surfaces — from OLED screens to capacitive touch controls — without risk to the protective layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcantara surfaces are a classic application area: steering wheels with Alcantara covers, Alcantara\/leather combination seat surfaces, and Alcantara headliners are widespread in sports cars and premium vehicles and are regularly a challenge for detailers. Most universal cleaners are too aggressive for Alcantara or leave drying marks — the SensitiveSurface Detailer, with its mildness, is suitable for this material, although for heavily soiled Alcantara, a specialized textile cleaning product may be more effective. For leather surfaces in the same vehicle, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-leathercleaner-lederreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is a complementary special product tailored to the specific requirements of aniline leather and natural leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft-touch plastics (STC) are another important area of application: Many dashboards, door handles, and center consoles of modern vehicles are equipped with a rubbery soft-touch coating that gives the interior a high-quality feel. These coatings react extremely sensitively to solvents (dissolution of the coating, becoming sticky) and to silicones (softening, gloss formation on matte areas). The SensitiveSurface Detailer contains neither silicones nor solvents in relevant quantities, making it a safe choice for STC surfaces. Matte films on trim strips and matte paints on interior elements also benefit from the mild formula, which leaves no grease marks or shiny spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensitiveSurface Detailer in Product Comparison — When Which Interior Cleaner Makes Sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX PROFILINE interior range, there are several products for different requirements. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e is a concentrate for general interior cleaning — more powerful and economical for cleaning heavily soiled or robust surfaces such as hard plastic dashboards, carpets, and rubber seals. For coarse dirt on conventional plastics, the concentrate is more efficient than the SensitiveSurface Detailer, which is milder than necessary for such tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SensitiveSurface Detailer positions itself as a specialized premium product for precisely defined tasks: sensitive, high-quality interior materials that should not be cleaned with standard interior cleaners. In a professional detailing operation, we therefore recommend having both products available — the Interior Detailer Concentrate for basic cleaning and heavy soiling, and the SensitiveSurface Detailer for fine work on sensitive surfaces and final detail cleaning before handover. This two-stage approach to interior cleaning workflow is a professional standard that improves both efficiency and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to universal household cleaners or non-specialized car care products, the decisive advantage of the SensitiveSurface Detailer lies in its targeted formulation for vehicle interiors: display coatings in vehicles differ from household screens, Alcantara fibers react differently than home textiles, and soft-touch plastics in vehicles have different chemical compositions than household items. A cleaner developed for vehicle interiors takes these specific material compositions into account — generic alternatives from the household usually do not and increase the risk of surface damage. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/a\u003e is also an interesting alternative for businesses that value certified environmentally friendly ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer — Packaging and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 1 liter and as a 2-piece and 3-piece set. The 1-liter bottle is designed as a ready-to-use spray and is intended for direct application — without dilution or pre-mixing, which makes handling in ongoing operations very efficient. Based on experience, 20–40 ml are needed per vehicle interior for normal soiling, so the 1-liter container is sufficient for 25–50 complete interior cleanings. The 3-piece set is the most economical option for businesses that regularly recondition premium vehicles and use the Detailer as a fixed part of their interior workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is particularly recommended for detailers and reconditioning businesses that regularly prepare premium vehicles with Alcantara upholstery, large infotainment displays, or soft-touch trim. These are often vehicles from the high-price segment, where cleaning damage due to unsuitable products can be particularly costly — a specialized cleaner like the SensitiveSurface Detailer is an investment in securing the quality guarantee for the customer. For the ambitious private user who maintains their premium vehicle themselves and wants to treat sensitive materials gently, the product is also the safest choice compared to inexpensive universal cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete interior care workflow, we recommend: SensitiveSurface Detailer for displays, Alcantara, and soft-touch → LeatherCleaner for leather surfaces → Interior Detailer Concentrate for carpets and coarse plastics. This three-stage approach ensures that each surface category is treated with the optimal product for it, maximizing cleaning results and minimizing the risk of material damage — the hallmark of truly professional interior detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53521766547791,"sku":"D1-SNX-2863000","price":20.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53521766580559,"sku":"D1-SNX-2863000_2","price":41.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53521766613327,"sku":"D1-SNX-2863000_3","price":61.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger_1-liter.png?v=1730659049"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger","title":"PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" interior cleaner","description":"\u003c!-- BLOCK 1: body_html --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEco-certified pro interior cleaner for every surface — SONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does Ecocert certification mean on a car cleaner?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for exactly that brief: a ready-to-use universal interior cleaner that handles every surface inside the cabin — from fabric seats through leather to glass and plastic — while leaning on an Ecocert-certified formula with 99.75% naturally sourced ingredients. Available in 5, 25 and 200 litre containers: the product for businesses that need an ecologically sound cleaning solution at scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEcocert-certified — verified natural ingredients.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecocert certification isn't a marketing claim, it's an independent check by an accredited certification body. The CleanStar \"Ecocert\" is 99.75% naturally sourced — anionic and amphoteric plant-based surfactants, no synthetic solvents. The pH window of 6.5-7.5 is gentle on every common interior surface; neither leather nor Alcantara nor glass gets attacked by this pH-neutral cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal interior cleaner for every surface — one product instead of many.\u003c\/strong\u003e The CleanStar cleans interior glass, fabric seats, leather, Alcantara, plastics (coated and uncoated), rubber and metal trim. That versatility saves you switching time and shelf space in pro work: instead of grabbing a different product for each surface, you work through the whole cabin with a single bottle. Move from delicate to robust surfaces as you go — a cloth dirty from plastic does no harm on glass, and either way it's less of an issue than with strongly abrasive cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro container sizes from 5 to 200 litres for businesses of every size.\u003c\/strong\u003e The PROFILINE CleanStar comes in three bulk sizes: 5 litres for smaller workshops and mobile detailing, 25 litres for mid-sized operations and 200 litres for large accounts, dealership chains and fleet-care businesses.

The headliner is often glued layers; a direct mist can soak in and loosen the bond. On Alcantara, run the cloth with light pressure and always in one direction (with the nap) — no circular motions that rough up the fibres. For interior glass, lay CleanStar onto a dry microfibre cloth and wipe in overlapping horizontal passes; then buff with a second dry cloth. For a full interior clean, stick to a clear workflow: ceiling → glass → dashboard → doors → seats → floor. That way no cleaned area gets dirtied again by a later step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEcocert certification and natural ingredients — what sets the SONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" apart from conventional cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ecocert certification is the core difference between the CleanStar and other SONAX PROFILINE interior cleaners. Ecocert is a French certification body that has tested and certified natural and organic products to defined standards since 1991. For a cleaning product, Ecocert certification means the ingredients must come in large part from natural or naturally derived sources; synthetic solvents, petrochemical derivatives and certain preservatives are either banned or tightly limited. The CleanStar meets these requirements with a 99.75% naturally sourced content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfactants in the CleanStar are plant-derived — anionic and amphoteric surfactants made from renewable raw materials (mostly coconut or palm oil derivatives). These plant-based surfactants have a cleaning profile comparable to synthetic equivalents, but break down far better in wastewater. For businesses that run their wastewater management to ecological standards or are chasing environmental certifications, the biodegradability of the ingredients is a real criterion when picking a product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point worth flagging on the natural formula: odour emissions. Conventional interior cleaners with synthetic solvents often leave a sharp chemical smell that lingers in the cabin after cleaning and can put customers off — especially at handover. Thanks to its plant-based surfactants, the CleanStar has a much milder, fresh scent of its own that clears completely after a short airing. For dealerships and businesses that care about a pleasant smell after an interior clean, that's a noticeable difference in the customer experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH value of 6.5-7.5 is decisive for material compatibility. Many aggressive interior cleaners work in the alkaline range (pH 8-11), which delivers strong soil-lifting power but dries out leather, damages Alcantara and attacks coated plastics. The CleanStar, in its near-neutral pH range, is by contrast safe to use on all the materials named — it's easy on the surfaces while still cleaning normal car dirt well (dust, fingerprints, drink residue). For very heavy soiling (blood, engine oil, tar) stronger, non-Ecocert-certified cleaners are often more effective; for everyday and care work the CleanStar is positioned just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe preservatives in the CleanStar — 2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one and Methylisothiazolinone — are the one point where sensitive users might prick up their ears: these preservatives can cause skin irritation in some people. But they are present in very low concentrations (well under the legally permitted maximums) and are harmless for professional use with normal hand protection. Ecocert certification does not rule out these preservatives in acceptable amounts — they're needed to keep the product stable over its shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing CleanStar \"Ecocert\" — a ready-to-use cleaner for every interior surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CleanStar \"Ecocert\" is ready to use — no dilution needed. That direct-use design is a clear win for pro work: no measuring, no mixing, straight from the bottle. Spray the product onto a microfibre cloth (SONAX recommends the Scheibe+Innen microfibre cloth) and apply it to the surface you're cleaning. The spray foams up moderately — no over-foaming that would be hard to pull out of upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe workflow for a full car interior: work top to bottom. Clean the headliner first with a sparing cloth application, then interior glass, dashboard and cockpit plastics, door cards, seats and finally floor mats and floor. Rinse the cloth in fresh water regularly and re-spray it with product — a heavily soiled cloth moves more dirt than it picks up. For stubborn soiling on a given spot, apply cleaner to the cloth several times and let it dwell; the key is patience, not pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn glass (windscreen, side windows, interior mirror) the CleanStar is especially effective against the hazy film that forms on the glass of cars with a lot of plastic off-gassing inside. This silicone-laden film from plastic out-gassing is stubborn and many universal cleaners struggle to shift it. With its amphoteric surfactants, the CleanStar cuts through the greasy film more efficiently than purely anionic cleaners. For the best glass finish, use a dry buffing cloth until no streaks are left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor child-transport vehicles, ambulances and commercial vehicles with frequently changing passengers, the CleanStar is a particularly good fit, since the natural ingredients carry less irritation risk on accidental skin contact than synthetic cleaner alternatives. For end customers with sensitive skin, or who react to synthetic chemicals in the cabin, the Ecocert formula is a preferred choice. This product-safety angle is especially relevant for businesses maintaining care fleets for nurseries, care services or medical transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlcantara calls for a special application technique: Alcantara is a microfibre synthetic fibre with a textile structure that wrong cleaning can permanently disturb (roughening, glazing). Spray the CleanStar onto the cloth (not onto the Alcantara), then wipe with light pressure in the direction of the nap (typically top to bottom on seats). No circular motions. Wipe wet-on-wet afterwards with a slightly damp, clean cloth to lift residue. Once dry, raise the Alcantara fibres with a soft clothes brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro container sizes — 5, 25 and 200 litres for every operation scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" comes in three container sizes cut to different operation sizes. The 5 litre can is the entry point for smaller detailing businesses, mobile detailing and well-kitted hobby detailers with high consumption: 5 litres of ready-to-use cleaner lasts, used sparingly, for 50-100 full car interior cleans. The can is handy enough to carry in the vehicle and fits most tool boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 litre size is built for mid-sized detailing businesses doing 5-20 cars a day. A 25 litre canister lasts roughly 4-6 weeks at 5 cars a day, depending on how heavy the cleaning is. The price edge over the 5 litre can is already clearly noticeable at this size — the cost per litre drops sharply, which adds up to a real saving over the year in continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the 25 litre size it pays to top up spray bottles from a filling station or a burette dosing system rather than working straight from the canister. That saves product through precise dosing and stops spills when pouring from a big canister into narrow spray bottles. Simple dosing pumps for 5 and 25 litre canisters are cheap in the detailing accessory trade and pay for themselves quickly through product savings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200 litre drum is aimed at large operations, dealership chains and fleet-care services with very high cleaning volume. A 200 litre drum needs a stationary tap or a dosing pump to match, available as an accessory. For businesses cleaning 20-50 cars a day, the 200 litre drum cuts reorder frequency to a few times a year and avoids the logistics costs of frequent small orders. The cost per litre on the drum is, again, far cheaper than on the smaller containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleanStar \"Ecocert\" compared — PROFILINE vs. consumer and vs. Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe direct comparison with the consumer version, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/a\u003e in 750 ml: the formula is identical — same Ecocert certification, same natural ingredients, same pH neutrality. The difference is purely in container size and packaging concept: the 750 ml bottle is built for the private user with 1-2 cars, the PROFILINE container for pro use with correspondingly higher consumption. If you already know and rate the consumer version, you'll find the same product in the PROFILINE version in a professional container size with cost advantages in steady use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e a clear positioning gap shows up: the Interior Detailer Concentrate is a concentrate (dilutable 1:10 to 1:50), not Ecocert-certified, and in return has an antistatic working component the CleanStar doesn't have. If you value the eco certification and a ready-to-use solution, you reach for the CleanStar. If you want to tune the cleaner individually to different soiling levels and rate antistatic protection as important, you pick the Interior Detailer Concentrate. For businesses with a sustainability strategy, the CleanStar is the future-proof choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e is the specialist product for the most delicate materials — Alcantara, velour, the highest-grade leather variants. Where the CleanStar covers 95% of interior cleaning jobs, the SensitiveSurface Detailer is the pick for the last 5% with especially tricky surfaces. Day-to-day, a combination works well: CleanStar for the standard interior, SensitiveSurface Detailer as a backup for special materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying an eco-friendly interior cleaner — who the SONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" is right for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal choice for professional detailing businesses that pick their cleaning products on ecological and sustainability-driven criteria. Businesses with ISO 14001 certification or similar environmental-management standards can use the CleanStar as a clear product record for the use of natural ingredients in their documentation. Businesses positioned in sustainable car care, or wanting to reach customers in that space, also benefit from the clear Ecocert promise in their customer communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the context of environmental and sustainability initiatives, the CleanStar is of interest to businesses documenting their carbon footprint and chemical use. Plant-based surfactants typically carry a lower CO₂-equivalent value in manufacturing than petrochemical derivatives; the biodegradability in wastewater lowers the environmental load on the disposal route. For businesses wanting to win ecological tenders (e.g. municipal fleet care or public transport operations), using Ecocert-certified products can be a provable quality marker in the bid documentation. Detailing1 can provide product data sheets and safety information for the CleanStar for tender documents on request. Another point concerns staff satisfaction: strong-smelling or skin-irritating cleaners are a burden in daily use. The CleanStar is formulated to be skin-friendly and has a neutral scent of its own that doesn't spoil the working atmosphere. That makes it especially suited to businesses cleaning many cars a day and watching the long-term health compatibility of the products they use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor dealerships and leasing companies with their own detailing department, the 25 or 200 litre container is the most economical solution: a uniform product range, plannable reorder intervals, and one cleaner that works for every car interior and every material — without special products for each segment.

For stubborn marks on fabric seats or heavily soiled floor mats you can take it up to 1:5 or run it neat. Lay the diluted product down with a microfibre cloth, a soft brush or an applicator sponge — don't let it dry on the surface; wipe it off right after the dwell time or take it off with a damp cloth. On leather, always follow the clean with a proper leather conditioner, since cleaners pull the natural oils out of the hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInnenReiniger as a concentrate — how it works, what's in it and dilution guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE InnenReiniger\u003c\/strong\u003e is formulated as a surfactant-based concentrate — surfactants are molecules that bridge water and grease, wrap around dirt particles and lift them off the surface as you wipe. That base tech is well established in car-interior cleaning, because interior grime is a mix of body oils, dust, food residue and fabric particles — all things tensid-based cleaners pull apart reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate format has a few clear edges over ready-to-use sprays: transport cost and storage volume per unit are lower, since a big chunk of a ready-to-use product is water you can add cheaper on site. In a pro shop burning through many litres a day, that edge adds up to real savings over the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended dilution ratios for the InnenReiniger depend on the job. As a rough guide: for routine cleaning of lightly soiled surfaces (dashboard, door cards, cubbies) go 1:10 to 1:15. For medium soiling (seats, floor mats after normal use) 1:5 to 1:8 works. For heavy soiling — fabric seats with food or drink stains, ground-in dirt — you can set the concentrate to 1:2 to 1:3 or work it in neat with a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate is also tuned to leave no residue on surfaces once you've wiped it off — nothing that spoils the finish. A common gripe with cheaper interior cleaners is streaking on smooth plastic: the product dries unevenly and leaves streaks that only show up in direct light. This one is built to work clean, which cuts down how much rework the treated panels need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne key note for leather: surfactants don't just lift dirt, they strip the conditioning oils out of the hide too. So regular cleaning of leather seats with the InnenReiniger should always go hand in hand with a follow-up using a leather-care product compatible with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-leathercleaner-lederreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, to put the nutrients back and keep the material supple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the InnenReiniger properly — workflow for fabric, plastic and tough stains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a full interior clean the workflow starts with pulling out all the loose stuff and vacuuming the cabin thoroughly. Dust and dry dirt you don't remove before going wet turns into a mud with the cleaner, which makes the job harder and loads up your cloth fast. Only once it's vacuumed does the InnenReiniger come into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn hard plastic surfaces — dashboard, centre console, door cards — apply the diluted solution with a damp microfibre cloth and work it in with circular motions. The cloth should be damp, not wet; too much moisture can creep into gaps and seams and cause staining. After a dwell time of 30–60 seconds, lift the dirt with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fabric seats and carpets, spray the diluted solution on and then work it in with a medium cleaning brush. Brush in the direction of the fibres to avoid roughing them up. On heavy stains you can go over the area several times; between passes let the surface dry off briefly so the moisture doesn't soak into the seat foam. A wet vac after the last pass pulls up the loosened grime and excess liquid and cuts the drying time right down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor machine fabric cleaning — with a steam cleaner or an extraction machine — the diluted InnenReiniger can go into the machine's tank as the cleaning agent. Being compatible with extraction machines makes it an economical alternative to pricey specialist products for hot-steam interior cleaning. When you run it in an extraction machine, pick a slightly higher dilution than for manual application to avoid too much foaming inside the unit. If in doubt, check with the machine maker about the maximum concentrations recommended for the cleaning solution — some extraction machines aren't built for very high-foam products and could be damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-innenraumschwamm-duo-applikationsschwamm\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE InnenraumSchwamm \"Duo\"\u003c\/a\u003e works as an applicator for cleaning smooth plastic and leather surfaces — its two different sides let you both clean and lay down care products after cleaning with the same tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the InnenReiniger earns its keep — areas of use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is built for shops cleaning a lot of cars a day. Detailing shops, rental fleets, fleet managers, dealerships and reconditioners prepping used cars for resale are the typical users. For these shops it's not just cleaning power that counts but the economics too — the InnenReiniger as a concentrate in the 10- or 200-litre size pushes the material cost per car down to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor used-car reconditioning the InnenReiniger is especially relevant: a used interior shows the usual wear patterns after years of daily use — greasy build-up on the wheel and armrests, ground-in dirt in the seats, dust in the vents and lint on the carpet. A thorough pass with the InnenReiniger — from the headliner down to the floor mats — lifts the perceived value of the car a lot and is decisive for the dealer sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFleet operators and rental firms running regular interior cleans across their fleet get the most out of the 200-litre drum. With a fixed dosing system — a wall pump or an automatic mixing rig — the InnenReiniger can be dosed straight at ratio into the spray bottle or container, with no manual decanting. That infrastructure pays for itself fast at high car throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeadliners are among the trickiest spots in interior cleaning. The fabric is delicate, can't get too wet (the soaked adhesive can warp it) and shouldn't be worked too hard with a brush. For the headliner, go for a higher dilution of the InnenReiniger (1:15 to 1:20) and apply it with a lightly damp microfibre cloth in gentle, linear strokes. No scrubbing — the dirt comes off through the surfactant action, not through mechanical abrasion. That gentle approach keeps the headliner in good shape over many cleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor shops that offer specialist cleaning on top of standard interior work — leather cleaning, mould removal, odour neutralisation — the InnenReiniger is the base cleaner, the first stage. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e handles the fine care of delicate surfaces after the base clean with the InnenReiniger, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e rounds it off as a care product that conditions surfaces after cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe InnenReiniger compared — concentrate vs ready-to-use, InnenReiniger vs specialist cleaner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the market there are two basic approaches to car-interior cleaning: ready-to-use sprays and concentrates. Ready-to-use products are good to go and need no dosing — they suit occasional use or staff with no experience of dilution ratios. Concentrates cost more per litre but, once diluted, come out much cheaper per job. In a high-volume pro shop the concentrate pays off against ready-to-use alternatives within just a few weeks of running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComparing it with specialist cleaners — dedicated leather cleaner, fabric cleaner, plastic cleaner — shows the strength of the all-rounder InnenReiniger: one product for every surface simplifies your stockroom, cuts the number of products and streamlines the workflow. That said, if you're cleaning very delicate leather (Nappa, natural hide) or special fabrics (Alcantara, velour), look at the more specific products in the SONAX PROFILINE range, which are tuned for those materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bang for the buck the concentrate is clearly the smartest format for a pro shop. Ready-to-use interior cleaners in 500 ml or 1-litre bottles cost several times more per job than the equivalent mixed from concentrate. Once you put the cost per cleaned car of the InnenReiniger concentrate up against a branded spray, the savings jump out at you straight away — and you see why professional shops stick to concentrates without fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE InnenReiniger — container sizes and what to pick for your shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOdour problems inside the car — a common customer job — aren't fully solved by the InnenReiniger alone, but they're cut down a lot. Smells come from mould, dried organic residue and particles bedded into the fabric layers. The InnenReiniger removes the organic base of the smell through its cleaning action; for stubborn odours, follow the base clean with a dedicated odour neutraliser. Pairing a thorough mechanical clean using the InnenReiniger with a follow-up odour neutralisation is the most effective system for cars with bad smell problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between the 10-litre canister and the 200-litre drum comes down to your shop's daily use. For a detailing shop doing a full interior on 3–5 cars a day, the 10-litre size lasts several weeks. Bigger operations with 10 or more cars a day — rentals, dealerships or car-wash sites — benefit from the 200-litre drum, which pushes the material cost per job down further and means fewer reorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe InnenReiniger slots seamlessly into the PROFILINE system workflow: pre-clean with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-alkaline-vorreiniger\"\u003eMultiClean \"Alkaline\"\u003c\/a\u003e for the exterior wash, InnenReiniger for the interior, SensitiveSurface Detailer or Interior Detailer for the care finish — a matched system from one brand that makes professional results reliably repeatable, and one whose completeness cuts your need for other makers' products in day-to-day reconditioning down to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePicking the right dilution ratio becomes second nature with a little experience. Shops new to the concentrate can start with a standard 1:10 ratio and tweak it to 1:7 or 1:5 if the result falls short. It's worth keeping a small log of the dilutions you use for different car and soiling types — after a few weeks the shop has a reliable standard that saves time and locks in consistent results. If you work with several staff, you can write this log up as an internal work instruction, so everyone runs the same dilutions and application parameters — a decisive step toward quality control in a growing shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor shops just stepping into the PROFILINE range, the InnenReiniger is a solid way in: it's versatile, easy to use and covers the most important part of the reconditioning business. Choosing the concentrate over ready-to-use products is a clear sign the shop works professionally and cost-efficiently — a mark of quality that shows in the price and in how you talk to customers. If you can tell your customer you work with a professional SONAX PROFILINE concentrate, mixed to order, you're signalling experience and method — and you stand out clearly from shops working off supermarket sprays from a can. That transparency builds trust and justifies professional prices for the interior-cleaning job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":57345050149199,"sku":"D1-SNX-3216050","price":67.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":57345050181967,"sku":"D1-SNX-3219000","price":716.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-innenreiniger_10l.png?v=1774731860"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate-innenraumreiniger","title":"PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate Interior Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOne Liter of Concentrate for Every Interior Cleaning Job — SONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can an interior cleaner concentrate do that a ready-to-use spray cannot? The professional concentrate detailer from SONAX can be diluted from 1:10 to 1:50, depending on the degree of soiling — one liter yields between 10 and 50 liters of ready-to-use solution for textiles, leather, plastic, and metal.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who regularly cleans vehicle interiors knows: the cleaning effort varies enormously — there's a world of difference between a slightly dusty rental car and a heavily soiled commercial vehicle. A single spray for all situations is a compromise — either too strong for delicate surfaces or too weak for stubborn dirt. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/strong\u003e solves this problem with a variable mixing ratio: from 1:10 for intensive cleaning of heavily soiled surfaces to 1:50 for gentle care of delicate materials — always from the same concentrate, always tailored to the current job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable mixing ratio from 1:10 to 1:50 for every application.\u003c\/strong\u003e The concentrated formula gives the user control over the cleaning intensity. 1:10 is suitable for heavily soiled plastics, ingrained textile floors, and worn steering wheels; 1:30 to 1:50 for delicate leather, Alcantara, and headliner surfaces that are only lightly dusty. One concentrate thus replaces several different ready-to-use products with different strengths — economical and space-saving for professional use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntistatic effect keeps dust away permanently.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula contains antistatic agents that build a protective layer on the surface after cleaning, preventing electrostatic charges. Plastic and rubber surfaces in the vehicle interior tend to accumulate electrostatic charges, which magnetically attract household dust and fine dust — the reason why cleaned dashboards often get dusty faster than other surfaces. With the antistatic protection, the cleaned surface remains significantly cleaner for longer after treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free formula — safe for all interior surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Interior Detailer Concentrate is silicone-free. Silicone leaves a shiny film on plastics that traps dirt, dulls the surface over time, and poses a safety risk on airbag modules and steering wheel grips. The silicone-free formulation leaves no greasy residues — textiles remain breathable, leather retains its natural grip, and hard plastics get a subtle, non-intrusive sheen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For professional use, it is advisable to prepare several pre-mixed spray bottles with different dilution levels: one bottle at 1:15 for plastics and door panels, one at 1:30 for seats and textiles, and one at 1:50 for headliners and delicate leather parts. This saves remeasuring for each vehicle and provides direct access to the appropriate strength. When using on the vehicle headliner, always spray onto a microfiber cloth first, never directly onto the headliner — direct wet application can loosen the adhesive on glued headliners. Do not use on windows, displays, or navigation devices; for glass cleaning, a dedicated glass cleaner is the cleaner choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate Formula — How SONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate Works on Various Interior Surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate detailer from the PROFILINE range is designed for cleaning the entire vehicle interior, with the exception of glass, displays, and electronic surfaces. The formula combines surfactant-based cleaning components with conditioning agents: the surfactants dissolve grease, fingerprints, dust, and organic contaminants from surfaces; the conditioning components strengthen the cleaned surface, prevent electrostatic charge, and leave a subtle protective film. This dual function — cleaning and conditioning in one step — is the core advantage over pure cleaners without conditioning agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn textile seats and floors, the Interior Detailer works through mechanical and chemical dirt removal: the concentrate is applied to a microfiber care pad or cleaning brush, the fibers are opened by the movement, and dirt is lifted from deep within. The surfactant's lubricating ability reduces friction resistance during scrubbing, allowing even deeper dirt to be loosened without excessive force. For heavily soiled textiles, use the 1:10 mixture, let it sit briefly (30–60 seconds), and then work it in with a steam extractor or wet microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn leather, dilution is crucial: genuine car leather, especially older leather interiors, reacts sensitively to over-cleaning. The Interior Detailer Concentrate should be used on leather in a 1:30 to 1:50 dilution — a too concentrated solution can dissolve the natural oils from the leather and dry out the surface in the long term. After cleaning leather with the concentrate, a leather care step with a nourishing leather cream to replenish lost oils is ideally followed. The Interior Detailer Concentrate is a cleaner, not a leather conditioner — this separation of tasks in the workflow is important for long-lasting leather interior care. Those who want to do both in one step can use a dedicated leather care product; those who clean sequentially and then condition will achieve a more thorough result because the conditioner is applied to an already cleaned, open-pored surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn hard plastics — dashboard, door panels, center console — the concentrate in a 1:15 to 1:20 dilution provides the best combination of cleaning performance and subtle conditioning. The antistatic after-effect is most noticeable on plastic: anyone who has treated their dashboard with the Interior Detailer Concentrate will notice that it takes significantly longer for dust to accumulate again compared to untreated plastics. Shiny plastic panels that show fingerprints should be treated with a softer cloth and a stronger dilution to avoid micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Interior Detailer Concentrate — Dilution, Spray Bottle, and Procedure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of Interior Detailer Concentrate begins with preparing the ready-to-use solution: pour concentrate into a spray bottle, then fill with water to the desired ratio (always concentrate first, then water — this minimizes foam formation when filling). For standard cleaning of plastics and textiles, 1:15 is a good starting point. Shake the bottle lightly, then spray onto the material to be cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication should always be to a microfiber cloth or foam applicator, never directly onto sensitive surfaces such as headliners or Alcantara. On robust surfaces such as rubber floor mats or heavily soiled plastics, it can be sprayed directly. Guide the cloth evenly over the surface, either in a circular motion or in the direction of the fibers (always in the direction of the fibers for Alcantara). For seams, textures, and panel gaps in the dashboard, a soft detailing brush is recommended to work the concentrate into hard-to-reach areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDwell time is not necessary for normal soiling — the formula works immediately upon application and working in. For more stubborn dirt (dried-on food, dirt rings in seat creases), leave the solution on the surface briefly (30–60 seconds) to allow the surfactants to soften the dirt. Then work it in with the cloth. Remove excess with a clean, dry microfiber cloth and allow the surface to dry. The result after drying: a clean, subtly conditioned surface without streaks, greasy film, or residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor working on door sills and footwell corners, where dirt stubbornly settles in crevices, a more concentrated solution (1:10 to 1:15) combined with a thin detailing brush is suitable. The brush applies the concentrate into the crevices, mechanically loosens the dirt, and a damp cloth wipes away the loosened particles. This workflow works particularly well on rubber-edged door sills, where silicone-containing products often leave streaks, which the Interior Detailer Concentrate naturally avoids due to its silicone-free formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-liter concentrate is not intended for single-use home application, but for portioned use over a long period. At a 1:20 mixture, 1 liter of concentrate yields 20 liters of ready-to-use solution — for a professional operation with 3–5 vehicles daily, this is easily enough for several weeks. The bottle should be stored in a dry, cool place; the concentrate is stable and will last for many months with proper storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAntistatic, Scent, and Surface Compatibility — What Sets the Interior Detailer Apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe antistatic property of the Interior Detailer Concentrate is one of the most noticeable advantages in everyday use. Anyone who regularly cleans their vehicle knows the problem: hardly has the dashboard been wiped clean, it has a thin layer of dust again after a few days. This rapid re-soiling is physically caused: plastic surfaces become electrostatically charged by friction while driving and attract dust particles from the air. The antistatic agent in the Interior Detailer Concentrate neutralizes this charge after cleaning — the surface is electrically neutral after treatment and attracts dust significantly slower. The more regularly the product is used, the more stable this protective effect becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother aspect of the antistatic effect concerns durability after cleaning: treated surfaces must be cleaned at shorter intervals if antistatic protection is not used. Anyone who previously had to wipe down their interior weekly will find, after regular treatment with the Interior Detailer Concentrate, that bi-weekly maintenance is sufficient to maintain the same standard of cleanliness. This accumulates over a year to significantly less cleaning effort — a practical effect that goes beyond mere cleaning performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance experience of the Interior Detailer Concentrate is unusually pleasant for a professional cleaner: the formula contains subtle aromas of coconut and pineapple, which leave the interior smelling fresh and pleasant after cleaning — without the sharp chemical smell of many industrial interior cleaners. For customer contact situations (car dealership detailing, vehicle handover after detailing), this is a relevant detail: the interior smells clean, not of cleaning products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate is not suitable for glass surfaces, displays, touchscreens, and navigation devices. These surfaces have special coatings (anti-fingerprint coatings, oleophobic coatings) that can be attacked by the surfactant formula of the Interior Detailer Concentrate. For glass cleaning in the vehicle interior, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-innenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is suitable as a supplement for non-glass surfaces; for windows, a dedicated glass cleaner. The clear distinction: Interior Detailer Concentrate for all non-transparent interior surfaces, glass cleaner for windows and displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior Detailer Concentrate Compared — vs. Interior Cleaner and SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE interior range, there are three main products with clear positioning. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-innenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the ready-to-use all-purpose spray for quick cleaning without mixing effort — ideal for frequent interim cleaning and businesses that want cleaning products readily available without measuring. The Interior Detailer Concentrate, on the other hand, is the concentrate for variable cleaning intensity — more control over strength, more economical for large quantities, more flexible in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e is the specialist product for delicate surfaces: Alcantara, velour, microfiber interiors, and other textured materials that can become streaky or dull with normal cleaners. It is not available as a concentrate and has an even gentler formula than the Interior Detailer Concentrate at maximum dilution. For vehicles with Alcantara inserts in the cockpit or sports bucket seats, the SensitiveSurface Detailer is recommended for these specific areas, while the Interior Detailer Concentrate handles the rest of the interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note for businesses using \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/a\u003e: The Ecocert product is the bio-certified alternative for businesses with a sustainability focus — it contains only ingredients approved according to the Ecocert standard. The cleaning performance is comparable to the Interior Detailer Concentrate at medium dilution, but without the antistatic component. For businesses without sustainability requirements, the Interior Detailer Concentrate is the more powerful all-round choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Interior Cleaner Concentrate — Target Group, Economy, and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the main product for professional detailing businesses that clean multiple vehicle interiors daily and require maximum flexibility with minimal storage. One liter of concentrate replaces 10–50 liters of finished product depending on dilution — an enormous logistical advantage for workshops with limited storage space and high cleaning volumes. The economy speaks for itself: in terms of cleaning performance to price, the concentrate beats almost any ready-to-use alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor ambitious hobby detailers with multiple vehicles or a vehicle that is regularly intensely detailed, the concentrate also makes sense. Anyone who maintains their interior monthly and always needs the right strength for different materials will benefit from the mixing flexibility just like a professional. The extra effort of mixing is manageable with a prepared set of spray bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone using the concentrate for the first time should start in an inconspicuous area of the vehicle — especially with unknown synthetic leather or Alcantara variants. Although the Interior Detailer Concentrate is suitable for all common interior surfaces, there are variants of very old or damaged leather as well as cheap synthetic leather imitations that can react to surfactant-containing cleaners with a slight color change. A brief test spot is generally recommended for valuable interiors, regardless of which cleaning product is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate is less suitable for occasional users who need it once or twice a year and do not want to keep a ready-to-use spray bottle permanently available — in this case, a ready-to-use interior cleaner is more practical. As a verified SONAX specialist dealer, Detailing1 permanently stocks the PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate in the 1-liter container size, which is designed for continuous professional use. Those who want to set up a starter kit for professional interior detailing should ideally combine the concentrate with a set of good microfiber care cloths in different strengths (for plastic, textile, and leather separately), a detailing brush for crevices, and a steam cleaner for intensive deep cleaning — the Interior Detailer Concentrate then becomes the chemical core that drives all these tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57345101037903,"sku":"D1-SNX-1993000","price":16.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate_1liter.png?v=1774731865"},{"product_id":"sonax-autoinnenreiniger-innenraumreiniger","title":"AutoInnenReiniger interior cleaner","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eSONAX AutoInnenReiniger cleans plastic and upholstery with one product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the SONAX AutoInnenReiniger?

And with the headliner: just mist it, don't soak it, or the glue underneath can let go and the fabric ends up wrinkled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray on, work it in, do the whole surface, don't soak it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the cleaner onto the surface, work it in with a brush or microfibre cloth, and always do the whole part so you don't get light edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn smooth plastic, spray on and wipe off with a slightly damp microfibre cloth — that's it. On fabric and carpet you spray the cleaner on, work it in with a soft brush and pull the foam back off with a clean cloth. The key is to keep the surface damp, not soaked, especially on upholstery, because excess moisture takes ages to dry and can go musty. You'll find matching brushes and microfibre cloths in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor an even result, a fixed routine helps. Lay 2 to 3 pulls onto one section of upholstery, let the foam work for 1 to 2 minutes, then pull it off before it dries on. On badly soiled seats, go over it a second time rather than flooding it on the first pass. For a full interior with 5 seats, door cards and carpet, set aside about 20 to 30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe headliner is the trickiest surface in the car. It's only lightly glued, and too much liquid softens the adhesive so the fabric ripples. Here you don't spray straight onto the headliner — spray the cloth instead and work gently in one direction, no scrubbing. Afterwards, leave the cabin to air out properly with the doors open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few spots need extra attention. The air vents, the gaps between seat and centre console and the seatbelt webbing collect dust and grime that a cloth alone won't reach. A small detailing brush helps here, working the sprayed-on cleaner into the cracks. Rubber and floor mats are best taken right out of the car: spray them, let the foam work for 2 to 3 minutes, scrub them with the brush, then rinse and air-dry. The seatbelts in particular are best pulled all the way out and cleaned along their full length, because months of hand grime settle in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor plastic and fabric, not as leather care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AutoInnenReiniger is a cleaner for plastic and fabric, not a care product for leather and no substitute for a proper leather clean followed by re-conditioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use it on leather for a rough clean, but it lacks the re-fatting care that keeps leather supple. If you want to keep leather seats clean and looked after, you're better off with a dedicated \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lederreiniger\"\u003eleather cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and a leather conditioner afterwards. Sensitive surfaces like Alcantara, real-wood trim or coated touchscreens — test them on a hidden spot first instead of going straight in over a large area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSorting it by the job helps here too. If you want to clean plastic and fabric across the whole interior, the AutoInnenReiniger is the right call. If it's leather care you're after, a dedicated leather line belongs in the car. And if the dashboard just needs freshening up and matting down with no real dirt, a conditioning cockpit dressing is the better fit. Three jobs, three products — and the AutoInnenReiniger is the cleaning all-rounder of the bunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few limits remain. Deeply dried-in old stains, ballpoint pen or soaked-in grease won't always come out 100 percent — that takes patience and often 2 to 3 passes. And the bottle wants to be stored frost-free so the surfactants stay stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a lot of shine sprays, this cleaner deliberately leaves no care film behind. Inside the car that's an advantage, because a glossy layer on the dash reflects in the windscreen in the sun and pulls in extra dust on top. If you want the satin-matt plastic look with a bit of protection, follow the clean with a separate cockpit dressing that doesn't clean but conditions and mattes. That keeps cleaning and care as two separate steps — and that's exactly what keeps the interior cleaner over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the regular full interior clean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AutoInnenReiniger pays off for anyone who cleans their whole interior regularly and doesn't want to cart 3 different products around in the boot to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith kids, a dog or a lot of miles, crumbs, dust film and grip marks build up faster than you'd like, and an all-purpose cleaner takes the hassle out of interior care. It's less suited to anyone whose main thing is conditioning leather seats or looking for a protective seal on the plastic — those are different product categories.

With the 500 ml spray bottle, 2 to 3 microfibre cloths and an upholstery brush you've got both routines covered, and you only use a few millilitres of product per clean. At normal soiling, one bottle stretches across several full interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA proven routine for the whole interior: start at the top and work down. Headliner and pillars first, then dashboard, door cards and centre console, then the seats, and the carpet and floor mats dead last. That way loosened dirt falls down onto surfaces you're going to clean anyway, and you don't do any spot twice. For a normally dirty interior this order takes about 30 to 40 minutes; on a car that's been neglected for ages, reckon on double.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick the bottle won't tell you: always work fabric with the brush both across and along the grain, not just one way. That lifts the flattened pile back up, and afterwards the upholstery doesn't just look cleaner but more even and fuller than any spot-by-spot spraying will ever manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":57405960323407,"sku":"D1-SNX-03212000","price":12.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-autoinnenreiniger-innenraumreiniger.png?v=1780348211"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/collections\/sonax-innenraumreiniger.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
