Koch-Chemie - The Finisher - Display Expert

Modern vehicle interiors have changed considerably over the last decade. Where dashboards were once dominated by conventional buttons, switches and relatively robust plastic trim, many manufacturers now rely on large touchscreens, digital instrument clusters and glossy display panels. These surfaces look fantastic when clean, but they also have a tendency to attract fingerprints, dust and greasy marks that can quickly spoil the appearance of an otherwise immaculate interior.

Cleaning them properly requires a little more consideration than simply reaching for an ordinary all-purpose cleaner. Many automotive displays feature delicate surface coatings, and using an unsuitable chemical or abrasive cloth can potentially damage these finishes. A dedicated display cleaner is therefore a sensible addition to any modern interior detailing kit.

THE FINISHER DisplayExpert has been developed specifically for this type of work. Formulated for sensitive displays and smooth surfaces, it removes fingerprints, dust, grease and everyday contamination while leaving a clean, streak-free finish. It's particularly well suited to navigation screens, TFT displays and other smooth interior surfaces where clarity and appearance are important.

One of the things we like about DisplayExpert is that it focuses on cleaning without trying to add unnecessary protection or gloss. On a touchscreen, the objective is simply to remove contamination and restore clarity. You don't want a cleaner that leaves behind an oily dressing or visible residue, particularly on displays that are regularly viewed in direct sunlight.

Another advantage is its versatility. Koch-Chemie also recommends DisplayExpert for smooth plastics, polycarbonate, PVC and stainless steel, which makes it useful beyond infotainment screens. It can be used around compatible glossy interior trim, digital instrument panels and other smooth surfaces that collect fingerprints during everyday driving.

The application process is refreshingly straightforward. DisplayExpert is supplied ready to use, so there's no mixing or dilution required. Simply apply a small amount to a suitable soft microfibre cloth, gently clean the affected area and finish with a clean, dry section of the towel. For us, applying the cleaner to the cloth rather than directly onto an electronic display is generally the more controlled approach, particularly when working around screen edges and adjacent controls.

We also like the compact 100ml format. It's small enough to keep in a glovebox or detailing bag, making it convenient for removing fingerprints and marks whenever they appear. Given how frequently modern touchscreens are used, that's a genuinely useful feature rather than simply a packaging decision.

For us, DisplayExpert is a simple product that addresses a very modern detailing problem. It provides a dedicated cleaning solution for sensitive displays and glossy interior surfaces, helping restore clarity without unnecessary complication. If your vehicle has a large touchscreen or digital cockpit, it's exactly the sort of specialist cleaner that makes maintaining the interior that little bit easier.
