Product Review: Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant



Product Description / Claims:

Seal and protect all interior surfaces with one product!
Now you can keep the interior of your car looking and feeling new with a single product that’s incredibly quick and simple to apply. Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant is an invisible, advanced synthetic polymer coating that provides a durable coating of protection and beauty to all leather, plastic, vinyl, rubber, wood and metal interior trim! Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant replaces the need for multiple products!

Product Details:

Packaging: Typical Black Wolfgang Bottle with a sprayer
Directions: Yes
Color: Clear
Scent: Mild Chemical
Pricing: $29.99 @ 8oz / $49.99 @ 16 oz

Directions:

1. Interior surfaces need to be clean and dry before applying Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant.
2. Work on a cool surface in the shade.
3. Shake bottle well before and periodically during use.
4. Apply a small amount to a clean foam applicator and then work into the surface.
5. When working on smooth, hard surfaces use a separate clean, dry microfiber towel to wipe-off any excess product.
6. If less shine is desired on plastic, rubber, vinyl and leather surfaces, lightly buff with a clean, dry microfiber towel two minutes after application.

Warnings or Precautions:

• Keep out of reach of Children
• Harmful If Swallowed

Testing:

• I first cleaned the seats of the 2 week old Optimum Protectant Plus using Meg’s APC @ 10:1 and then following it up with Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel. I usually use UIGP but wanted the OPP for some reason the last time.
• I then ran a tape line down the half a seat and dash section.
• I then applied WG CTS to the test sections.
• Just for my own curiosity I also applied UIGP to the other half of the seat and dash to see if there was any difference.

Clean Seat / Dash:

50/50 Seat / Dash:

WG CTS vs. UIGP:

As you can see WG CTS leaves a little more glossy finish than the matte finish of UIGP. Personally I like the slightly glossier look for certain interiors and surfaces.



Pros:

1. Easy to Use
2. No Streaking
3. Nice Gloss that not over the top

Cons:

1. Price: It is slightly higher per ounce than UIGP
2. Chemical Scent

Questions:

1. Does it have the same durability as UIGP?
2. Can the Scent be changed?

Final Thought / Summary:
WG CTS is an easy to use interior sealant that is good for all your interior surfaces. Only time and future use will determine if the claim of dirt & dust repelling is true. WG CTS leaves a little more glossy finish than the matte finish of UIGP. Which on my seats I did like a little better. Sometimes UIGP’s matte look is almost a little white and hazy for me. If you are looking for a new interior trim sealant WG CTs might just be something to look into.

Great review Troy. My findings were right in line with yours. I found Wolfgang Cockpit Sealant to have a slight edge in gloss to Ultima. I too prefer a slight gloss on my interior. My only complaint (if you want to call it one) with Ultima was that it left the surfaces with a very matte or factory look.

Thanks. Surprisingly it is holding up very well. I have not found the need to re-apply it yet. But this reminds me that I may want to try just to see if/how much it has deteriorated.

As per my comments above it seems to be holding up very well. I will be doing a new 50/50 to test and see just how much it has deteriorated in the past 2 months.
