Many many choices. For interior I recommend. Click here to view Matte Interior kit
It includes Here's what you get:

1Z Vinyl Cleaner (Plastik-Reiniger) - A gentle interior cleaner. Use it for thorough cleaning of the dash, console, door panels and coated leather seats.

1Z ****pit Premium - A unique dash, console and seat cleaner/protectant that leaves your fine leather and leather-look vinyl looking and smelling factory fresh. Just spray, wipe and dry. Einszett ****pit Premium is a joy. 1Z ****pit Premium can be used weekly to maintain a factory-fresh interior.

1Z Leather Care (Lederpflege) - In a word, it's one of the finest leather care lotions I've ever used. It applies easily and dries within moments to a beautiful matte finish. It smells sweet going on, but, within hours your call will smell like new leather again. Einszett Leather Care is a unique Carnauba based lotion designed for all modern leather interiors.

1Z Rubber & Vinyl Care (Tiefenpfleger) - A modern protectant that seals and beatifies all plastic, vinyl and rubber parts with a silky, matte finish. Einszett Rubber & Vinyl Care is heat resistant, so it won’t evaporate in the hot sun within hours of application. The fresh scent makes it perfect for both interior and exterior use.

1Z Rubber Protection Stick (Gummipflege) - A jewel of an idea. 1Z Rubber Protection Stick is a rubber seal protectant and applicator in one. The unique dispenser and applicator design allow you to apply just the right amount of protectant on your door and window seals without making a mess. The bottle contains enough protectant to coat all of the seals on your car a dozen or more times.

Towels, Applicators & Instructions - Of course, no kit would be complete without towels, applicators and instructions. I’ve included two of my favorite Ultimate Detailing Towels, two applicators and a full set of color instructions. I know you’ll love the lint-free finish of the Ultimate Detailing Towel!

Total kit weight 7 Lbs. Imported from Germany and Korea. Assemble in the USA.

NOTE: Use 1Z Rubber & Vinyl Care (Tiefenpfleger) on all of your exterior vinyl and rubber trim to keep it healthy and looking new. The matte effect on exterior trim and tires looks great!





Then for washing I LOVE Click here to view Wash Kit

Here’s what you get: 1Z Perls Gloss Shampoo


1Z Insect & Tar Pre-Cleaner


Geniune Wool Wash Mitt


Sonus Ultimate Drying Towel


Soft Touch Auto Dryer


Soft Scrub Insect Sponge


Instructions


If you’re not familiar with 1Z Perls Shampoo, it is a monumental advance in automotive washing. Perls is a highly concentrated wash shampoo that produces rich suds and superior lubrication for a safe, effortless wash. This shampoo packs an incredible cleaning punch, while its superior conditioners restore both gloss and protection. This is the only car shampoo formula I’m aware of that contains odor neutralizers and special hand conditioners.

1Z Anti-Insekt & Pre-Cleaner is a pre-wash spray for treating areas on your car that need a little extra cleaning. It quickly loosens and dissolves insects, tar, sap, grease, smog soot and other stubborn contaminates. Use in conjunction with the two-side bug sponge to remove bugs with a little extra grip.

Our super plush lambs wool wash mitt works in concert with Exclusiv Glanz Shampoo to gently bathe your vehicle. These mitts are by far the most gentle wash tool available. They rinse easily and quickly dry when hung by their handy loop.

Drying is a breeze when you use our dynamic duo: Soft Touch Auto Dryer and Ultimate Drying Towel. The Soft Touch Auto Dryer, manufactured by Schroeder & Tremayne, is a paint safe squeegee that quickly removes up to 80% of the standing water from your windows and paintwork. Follow the Soft Touch Auto Dryer with the Ultimate Drying Towel to dry your car to a spotless, lint-free finish.



Then for paint protection.Click here to view Klasse Kit
For years show car owners would hide or disguise their bottle of Klasse Sealant Glaze so competitors could not discover their secret to a brilliant, high-gloss, award-winning finish. The Klasse Sealant Glaze formula has been updated throughout the years to keep pace with the very best products available. To many, there simply is no substitute. Klasse Sealant Glaze sets the standard by which all other resin sealants are measured.

The masterminds at Sonüs have labored to make Klasse Sealant Glaze even better. Using SONACRYLIX™, the same second generation German acrylic resin found in Klasse, the Sonüs chemists have created a detailing spray and a spray booster that enhance Klasse Sealant Glaze to its full potential.

The Sonüs Perfect Shine Klasse Topcoat Kit embodies years of Klasse testing, research and development. Combine with the Sonüs Perfect Shine Base Kit to achieve an incredible show car finish that radiates energy.

Here what the kit contains:


Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze car wax is a companion product to Klasse All-In-One that builds finish depth, gloss and clairity. High Gloss Sealant Glaze is used by car enthusiasts and show car owners to create award-winning paint finishes. It's like a bottle of special effects for your car! With each coat the gloss and depth of your paint finish will increase.


Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, 16.9 oz.

Sonüs Acrylic Spritz is a quick detailing spray formulated to maintain your Klasse Sealant Glaze sparkle and shine. When used with a Sonüs Der Wunder Buffing Towel, Sonüs Acrylic Spritz safely removes light dust and water spots, leaving a slick, high gloss finish. The exclusive Sonüs formula contains SONACRYLIX™, the same acrylic formula used in Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze. Sonüs Acrylic Spritz is safe for all paint finishes, including clear coats.

Sonüs Acrylic Spritz

Sonüs Acrylic Glanz is formulated to "boost" your Klasse Sealant Glaze show car finish with an easy-to-use spray. It's so fast and easy, you can do your whole car in just five minutes! The unique SONACRYLIX™ formula contains the same German acrylic resins used in the award winning Klasse formula. When you don't have time to apply a full coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze, Sonüs Acrylic Glanz enhances gloss and restores protection. The new water-base formula is safe for all paint finishes, including clear coats.

Sonüs Acrylic Glanz

The Sonüs Der Wunder Buffing Towel is designed around the newest generation of microfiber fabric. Side one is a tight terry cloth weave with exceptional waxing power. It excels at buffing off Klasse Sealant Glaze. Side two is a deep, plush, terry pile that loves detailing sprays and will bring up the full luster of your paint. The Sonüs Der Wunder Buffing Towel is two towels in one!

Sonüs Der Wunder Buffing Towel, Pkg/2

Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze loves the Sonüs Der Wunder Applicator! No other applicator applies Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze as thin or evenly. You get a perfect finish every time. The applicators are made from a special, 70/30 blend of premium, fully-split, Korean Microfiber sewn over a 4" by 5" sponge core. They are washable and reusable.

But I would add the Klasse All in One cleaner.Click Here to view Klasse All in One
All-In-One is not a traditional wax or polymer sealant. The exclusive German Klasse formula is a tough acrylic car wax formula that has stood the test of time. Many miracle products have come and gone, but Klasse car wax products are still going strong.

Klasse All-In-One quickly polishes away oxidation and light paint contamination leaving a deep, rich shine that lasts for months. All-In-One is like clear armor for your car. It bonds to the surface like a normal carnauba car wax, however, it does not change the paint in any way. Klasse layers on top of the paint, building depth of shine and clarity for an ultra high gloss finish.

All-In-One contains special cleaners and a fine polish that quickly and easily removes old wax, road film, light oxidation and minor swirl marks. It’s a premium one-step product that cleans, polishes and protects with very little effort. Best of all, the finish lasts and lasts. In most cases, two applications a year will keep your car protected and looking good. Plus, Klasse does not contain silicones and it will not stain your car's vinyl and rubber. Application could not be easier!

10 oz. bottle. Imported from Germany.

Autopia is one of the best supplier of detailing products!!
