Cockpit Premium Users – Tips for Best Results and Preventing Streaks

Hey everyone,

If you’re using Cockpit Premium, you probably love its clean, matte finish with no greasy residue. But we’ve seen some questions pop up about streaking, especially when surfaces get wet. Here are a few key things to keep in mind for the best results:

✅ Cockpit Premium is for interior surfaces only – It’s a cleaner and treatment for plastic, vinyl, and rubber inside your car. If these surfaces get wet from rain (like door panels or armrests), streaking can occur since the product isn’t water-resistant.

✅ Uneven finish or streaking? It could be residue from a previous product – If you've used another interior product before (especially one with conditioners or dressings), it might not have fully come off, leading to uneven absorption. A damp microfiber wipe-down before applying Cockpit Premium can help remove any leftover residues.

✅ Apply in thin layers – A little goes a long way! Overapplication can leave excess product, which may become visible when wet. A light spray on a microfiber towel (not directly on the surface) helps with even application.

✅ Buff It Dry – Always follow up with a clean, dry microfiber to remove excess product and ensure a uniform finish.

✅ Avoid applying to high-moisture areas – If your door panels or console tend to get wet, consider applying Cockpit Premium in lighter amounts or focusing on areas less exposed to moisture.
