Koch-Chemie × THE FINISHER THE FINISHER "VinylTexClean" Vinyl/Textile Cleaner 500ml

THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie "VinylTexClean" — Vinyl/Textile Cleaner for Cockpit, Bench Seat & Cabin

What makes VinylTexClean ideal for use on board? — The vinyl/textile cleaner reliably removes salt film, sunscreen, and everyday residues, dries streak-free, and preserves the tactile grip of marine vinyl and durable textiles. Perfect as a pre-treatment before VinylGuard or TexLock/CoverGuard.

THE FINISHER VinylTexClean Vinyl/Textile Cleaner is the targeted cleaner for marine vinyl upholstery, console trims, and hard-wearing textile surfaces in the cockpit and cabin. The pH-balanced, finely foaming formula safely lifts sunscreen, salt, and beverage residues without drying out or smearing the surface. The result: clean, grippy material with a factory-like appearance – optimally prepared for subsequent care/protection.

• Vinyl & Textile under control: Dissolves sunscreen/salt film and everyday stains, dries evenly, and preserves the natural grip of seating and trim surfaces.
• Streak-free & controlled: Fine foam for precise work without oversaturation; ideal for upholstery, trims, and carpeted areas in the cabin and cockpit.
• Strong in system: Perfect basis for VinylGuard (vinyl care) as well as TexLock/CoverGuard (textile protection) – noticeably facilitates future cleanings.

Vinyl/Textile Cleaner – Safely remove salt, lotion & everyday dirt

Vinyl/textile cleaners like THE FINISHER VinylTexClean work with mild surfactants and controlled foam formation: residues are bound in micelles, while the surface remains cool and grippy. On marine vinyl, you can dissolve sunscreen films, sweat, and salt haze without a greasy shine; on robust textiles, you can lift stains without "over-wetting" fibers. The product evaporates residue-free, allowing subsequent care and protection products to absorb evenly – for a calm, clean cockpit appearance.

Application on board – dose, loosen, wipe clean

Application: Work in the shade, with cool surfaces. Spray product onto a microfiber cloth, or sparingly directly onto the surface for heavier soiling, let it loosen briefly, and agitate with a soft brush/cloth. Immediately wipe off with a clean cloth side, if necessary, wipe with a slightly damp fiber and dry. Avoid oversaturation to prevent streaks. Plastic windows (polycarbonate/acrylic) belong to "SeaYou," do not clean with this product.

Finish & System – Preparation for care and protection

Finish & System: After cleaning, the surface remains grippy-clean, not greasy. Subsequently, condition vinyl surfaces in the cockpit with "VinylGuard" for a rich, non-greasy look. Secure heavily used textile areas (seat surfaces, carpet runners, berth entry and exit points) with "TexLock" or "CoverGuard" after complete drying. This reduces new soiling, and future cleanings will be noticeably quicker.
