Einszette Cockpit Premium - Water Spots

I have a Jeep with light gray vinyl door panels. I recently detailed he interior with 1Z Cockpit Premium and was quite happy with the results. It removed a lot of dirt and left a nice matte finish. But after running out to my car in a heavy rain storm and getting my door panels wet when I entered the SUV, I noticed that after the door panels had dried, that I had ugly, black bordered water spots and drip marks all over the parts of the door that had been hit by rain drops.

A re-application of the Cockpit Premium removed the spots, but it looked pretty bad until I was able to get home and touch them up. Has anyone else expierenced this with Cockpit Premium?? Is there a similar product with a matte finish that may have better resistance to water spotting?

Thanks,

John
 
I've had it happen plenty of times, I get the same from sonax dashboard. You might be better off with something like blackfire interior protectant. It's a bit more durable and you can pick the level of gloss.
 
+1 on following up with an interior protectant like BF IP, DP ISP, or 303. Not only will any of these fine products force water to bead up but they also provide a layer of UV protection to slow down the sun's damaging effects on vinyl and leather surfaces.

I also prefer a matte interior finish and have achieved great results buffing DP ISP and 303 after a waiting a few minutes to let the products cure.

For additional finish options, Todd wrote up an excellent how to guide:

1Z Cockpit Premium is really nice stuff to use. Whenever it runs out you may want to consider DP's Total Interior Cleaner. DP's TIC works on more surfaces and is slightly cheaper per oz.

If it helps, here's a review I wrote up comparing 1Z CP to DP TIC:
