Product description:
I am writing this at almost 2 am so I hope this one makes sense lol.
With all of the countless interior protectants from bigger named manufacturers, some products just get lost in the shuffle. I never really paid attention to the Wurth brand. So when I received it I was like huh?
What is interesting is that the chemical makeup of it includes carnauba wax and jojoba oils. The first thing I said to myself is what are jojoba oils? and what is it for?
This is the definition of jojoba (pronounced hoh-hoh-buh)
The directions on the rear of the bottle are straight forward.
I have not been using anything lately on the interior dash of my Grand Prix for quite some time now. The reason being is that the dash plastics already glare off the glass with nothing on it. I usually just wipe it down with Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. I did try out GTechniq C6 Matte Dash a few months ago which worked out well and gave a nice matte look that I liked. Wurth Cockpit Care looks close to C6. The difference being that Wurth darkens a bit more and a little more sheen.
Started off by wiping down the interior with Meguiar's QID and then a damp microfiber towel to remove any residue. I don't know if I mentioned this in the video I took.
I used a foam applicator to apply it. I started off by spraying the foam applicator and working it into the surface. I tried to capture the difference on camera.
Untreated side
Treated side with Wurth Cockpit Care. Up close it is hard to discern the difference between the treated and untreated side.
I pulled the tape line back after the initial application without buffing off any excess. The darkening effect of cockpit care can be seen.
I did give the surface a light buff to remove any excess product just to be sure.
I decided to let it runs its course for a week to see if it faded away or if it would hold up. After one week I took this photo and the treated side is still showing the protectant intact and doing very well.
I only applied it to this area. I did apply it to the entire interior of my dad's car. His dash has more texture so for that type of material i didn't notice any change in appearance.
Overall it was easy to work with. It left a nice satin matte appearance on the surface that is not glossy to cause glare on the windshield. It dry's to the touch. It does state on the bottle that is anti-static and dust repellent. I can't say I noticed too much dust repellency just on that small area over the week. I didn't see dust accumulation on that area after applying it or the next day when I got into the car, so I take it the anti-static properties are working. Nothing scientific other than my eyes.
It does not leave any lasting scent. Hard to describe the scent of it. It's like a fresh scent mixed with a carnauba wax scent. It is a white consistency. It is does need to be shaken before using it to mix it up real good.
Protection looks to be good at least from an initial stand point. Will have to see how long it goes until it needs to be reapplied. This would suit those who are looking for protectant that leaves a matte appearance.
I enjoyed using it and will be using it on the entire interior next. FYI the interior plastics will be 18 years old in July.
Thanks for reading.
