Day-to-day that means one thing: helmet visors, headlight lenses, safety goggles, tail lights and even windscreens can all be treated with the same bottle. The silicone-resin-and-alcohol formula lays down a hydrophobic layer that sheds rainwater reliably and stops bug splatter, road grime and spray from clinging the way they used to. At 70 ml in a compact bottle, the Glaco Blave is also a natural travel buddy — whether it lives in your motorbike tank bag, your kit bag or the glovebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks on glass and plastic alike — one product for both.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Glaco Blave is built for the very surfaces other glass sealants can't handle.

For glass surfaces you want to protect longer-term, reach for the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e instead — they're dialled in for glass and last a good bit longer there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSilicone-resin-and-alcohol formula — why the Glaco Blave works on plastic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost \u003cstrong\u003eglass sealants\u003c\/strong\u003e rely on fluoropolymers or pure silicone oils that grip mineral glass beautifully but can attack plastic surfaces or leave them hazy. The \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a special \u003cstrong\u003esilicone-resin-and-alcohol blend\u003c\/strong\u003e that bonds to glass as well as polycarbonate and acrylic without damaging the material. The alcohol in the mix acts as the carrier: it flashes off completely after you apply it and leaves nothing behind but the thin silicone-resin layer on the surface. That layer drops the surface tension of the treated material, so water pulls itself into tight little beads instead of forming a closed film. The effect shows up just as clearly on plastic as it does on glass — raindrops bead off rather than spreading into a sheet across the whole face. One key difference from pure glass sealants: the silicone-resin layer is softer and less hard-wearing than the Ultra Glaco's fluoropolymer coating. On glass it therefore lasts only a few weeks rather than months. On plastic that's beside the point, since harder coatings can't be used there anyway without damaging the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply the Glaco Blave properly — on visor, headlight and glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow you \u003cstrong\u003eapply the Glaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e varies slightly with the surface, but the basic routine never changes. Clean the surface thoroughly first — on vehicle glass a normal glass cleaner does the job, while on visors and plastic you're best off with lukewarm water and a drop of mild washing-up liquid. Important: keep harsh cleaners and abrasives off plastic, as they can scratch the surface. Once it's dry, lay the Glaco Blave down with the built-in felt applicator. Squeeze the bottle gently until the felt is damp, then spread the liquid in even, overlapping passes. Unlike the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e, you don't wait for a white haze to form — wipe the treated area straight away with the microfibre cloth in the box. The result shows immediately: the surface feels smoother and water beads off the moment it touches. On helmet visors we'd treat the outside only — the inside can fog from the silicone-resin layer when your breath hits it. For headlights and tail lights, don't let the sealant run into the seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it's used and what you get — where the Glaco Blave really shines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e earns its keep exactly where ordinary glass sealants can't go. Its prime job is \u003cstrong\u003ehelmet visors\u003c\/strong\u003e: every rider knows the problem — in the rain a sheet of water builds up on the visor and kills your vision. The Glaco Blave breaks that sheet up and turns it into separate beads that get carried off by the wind once you're moving at a fair clip. The effect is especially obvious on a bike, because the airflow hits the visor head-on. Second key use: polycarbonate headlights and tail lights. The hydrophobic layer cuts how much road grime and spray can cling — your lights stay clearer on night drives and put out more light. Safety goggles for DIY, sports glasses and even acrylic shower screens benefit too. Realistic durability varies with the surface: reckon on four to six weeks on plastic, three to four weeks on glass. On heavily used visors that get cleaned often, the effect can fade after just two to three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Blave vs. Ultra Glaco — why plastic needs its own product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a question that comes up a lot: can't you just use the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on plastic?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short answer: no. Fluoropolymer-based sealants like the Ultra Glaco are tuned for mineral glass and can attack polycarbonate and acrylic — at worst you get milky hazing or fine cracks in the plastic surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e is formulated specifically for these materials and won't harm them. Head to head: the Ultra Glaco gives a far stronger, longer-lasting beading on glass (up to 12 months vs. a few weeks). On plastic, though, the Glaco Blave is the only game in town within the Glaco family — no other product in the range is cleared for polycarbonate. If you want a complete glass-protection package for your car, you pair the Ultra Glaco or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e for the windscreen with the Glaco Blave for headlights, tail lights and other plastic covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Glaco Blave is for — buying advice and who it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first pick for riders who want a water-shedding helmet visor — nothing else in the Glaco range is up to that job. At the same time it pays off for drivers whose car has plastic headlights or tail lights: the hydrophobic layer keeps the lights clearer on night drives and in foul weather. It's a handy fix too for anyone with sports glasses, safety goggles or ski masks made of polycarbonate. The compact 70 ml bottle slips into any tank bag or kit bag.

For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline.

Bugs and bird droppings also soak off well with the 1:10 dilution before the actual wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the protein and turns a baked-on crust into a layer you can pull off — exactly where pH-neutral products would need you to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Green Star runs out of road is where the pH becomes the problem. On ceramic-coated paint every pass shaves a bit off the top bonding layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars a pH-neutral shampoo or the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodised aluminium, matte aluminium and polished metal you never treat neat and you always patch-test in a hidden spot first. The corrosion inhibitor protects painted aluminium reliably, but on anodised surfaces it starts to struggle. Same goes for non-anodised magnesium rims and race parts — the alkaline side bites into the surface as soon as you push the dwell past two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the cabin Green Star is plainly too aggressive: synthetic leather, Alcantara and coated dashboards don't take alkaline concentrates long-term, not even at 1:50.

Your decision tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping use cases — the choice isn't about price, it's about what you're cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop pick: hard-alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, built for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder follow-up with an optimised surfactant base and lower environmental load — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, it sits alongside it for detailers who work more often on private-customer cars with coatings and less on commercial frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" runs on completely different chemistry: weakly alkaline through to pH-neutral, built for interior, dashboards, carpets and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the buy decision: if the focus is the lift, the engine bay, the workshop floor and commercial-vehicle work, grab the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you mostly detail private-customer cars with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, bug removal and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the cleaner fit. If you're after a cleaner for interior, carpet and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — that's where the Mzr lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the 11-kilo Green Star plus a 1-litre Mzr covers most of the actual workload: Gs for the whole exterior, the engine bay and floor cleans, Mzr for the interior. If you've got three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — this two-product setup halves the chemical cabinet and still cleans tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePack size tracks monthly throughput. The 1000-millilitre spray head is for the home detailer and the first test drive, not a working shop. From one vehicle a week with a proper exterior wash the 5-litre canister pays off; from three vehicles the 11-kilo container. 22 and 225 kilos belong in shops with a dosing station and steady commercial-vehicle work — for smaller outfits they're an unnecessary lock-in to one chemistry and harder to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_detail.png?v=1775995607\" alt=\"Green Star working solution on the black plastic wheel arch of the Ferrari\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494630109519,"sku":"D1-KCX-291001","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":27.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-291011","price":56.72,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":107.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1055.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger.jpg?v=1710769279"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum","title":"Gentle Snow Foam \"Gsf\" Cleaning Foam","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003epH-neutral pre-wash with the Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam?

Tip more Gsf in but skimp on water and you get thin foam instead of a creamy blanket. Rule of thumb: fill the mixing bottle two-thirds with warm water, then dose 20 ml per litre. With soft water under 8 °dH bump the dose up a touch; with hard water from 14 °dH ease off — otherwise you end up with stringy foam that's a pain to rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAnd always work onto wet, pre-rinsed paint.

Knock the heavy dirt, bugs and bird muck off with the pressure washer first. A quick clear-water rinse beforehand takes 30 seconds and saves the clear coat from needless swirls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInto the foam lance goes 20 ml of Gsf per litre of water, which is about 1:50. Lay the foam on bottom to top so the run-off doesn't draw clean streaks through the dirt. Let it dwell 4–6 minutes, shorter in the sun — the foam mustn't dry on, or it'll leave streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse top to bottom thoroughly with clear water. Foam left in the panel gaps points to too little water pressure or too short a rinse.

Gsf sits at 7.5, Green Star at around 11. On uncoated paint that doesn't matter; on a ceramic coating it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudies and hands-on testing show it: strongly alkaline cleaners above pH 10 break down the topcoat of ceramic coatings measurably faster. If you want to get 12 or 24 months of life out of your coating, you're better off with a pH-neutral weekly wash. The Gsf is built for exactly that — ongoing care instead of a one-off deep clean. The coating's hydrophobic effect stays intact, and the water beads after the wash just like it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Gsf hits its limits: baked-on bugs on the front end, tar spots on the sills, brake dust on the wheels or hardened pollen — it won't shift those.

The logic is simple: clean gently and often rather than aggressively and rarely. If you make the wash a fixed weekly habit, the Gsf takes you furthest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less of a fit for body shops, seasonal cars coming off a long lay-up, or the spring clean after winter — there active foams with a higher pH have the edge, because the dirt is long past what the Gsf can dissolve. And if you don't own a foam lance and only run a pressure sprayer, the Gsf will give you foam, but never the consistency and dwell time of a proper lance on a pressure washer. For that case a spray-on pre-cleaner makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre bottle covers around 50 washes, the 5-litre can 250. If you look after more than one car or work in a detailing studio, the 5-litre container runs about 30 percent cheaper per wash. Pair it with a pH-neutral shampoo like the Koch-Chemie Nanomagic Shampoo or GYEON Q² Bathe+ for the two-bucket wash, and a drying towel to finish, and you've got the full weekly workflow for a well-kept car — from the first jet of water to the last drop, without ever attacking your coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature cherry scent is a matter of taste, but it rarely divides opinion — most detailers find it a lot more pleasant than the soapy standard smell of many competitor products. In closed garages or wash bays the smell doesn't linger after rinsing, which is a handy detail in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst time you run the Gsf, don't be stingy with the dose. 20 ml per litre is the floor for a visible foam blanket. On really dirty cars or with hard tap water, go a pump higher. The extra 4–5 cents a wash is nothing next to a weaker result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame goes for the water pressure at the washer: under 100 bar the foam stays thin; from 130 bar it turns creamy and sits thick on the paint. Running a Kärcher K7 or similar, you can crank the lance to maximum foam output. With portable battery washers the foam comes out noticeably flatter — not a product fault, just a question of pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more tip from what we see at Detailing1: before each seasonal wash in spring and autumn, swap the Gsf for an active-foam wash with Green Star. That way no pollen film and no winter salt gets a foothold — the kind the pH-neutral foam can't shift over time. The other 50 weeks of the year, the Gsf runs as your standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStick to that routine properly and even a 5-year-old coating still beads visibly — and that's exactly the point of pH-neutral care: keeping what you've got instead of constantly re-applying the coating. The pricier line in any detailing budget is always the coating itself, not the shampoo. With the Gsf you stretch the life of the coating — at minimal running cost and maximum compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_lineup_71190d38-c132-4a2c-b491-318ab5c6d172.png?v=1778657758\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – 1000 ml bottle and 5 L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494571192655,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001","price":13.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693842255,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693875023,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48494571225423,"sku":"D1-KCX-383005","price":55.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_bef958d2-c483-4332-ab33-56ecc2f968ac.png?v=1778623445"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-finish-spray-exterior-fse-quick-detailer-kalk-ex","title":"Finish Spray Exterior \"Fse\" Quick Detailer with Kalk-EX","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eDissolving limescale chemically with the Koch-Chemie FSE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie FSE?

The pH of 2.5 doesn't only dissolve lime — it also eats into waxes and polymer sealants. Right order: apply FSE on the lime spots first, buff dry, then wax or sealant. Run the FSE as your everyday quick detailer on freshly sealed paint and you're actively stripping your LSP. Hardly any shop tells you that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Koch-Chemie FSE on a cool surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Finish Spray Exterior only works reliably on cool, dry surfaces. On hot metal after direct sun the spray flashes off too quickly and leaves residue instead of removing it. Pull the car into the shade first and give it five minutes. If the surface still feels clearly warm to the touch, don't start yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray it straight onto the surface or into the microfibre cloth — 2–3 pulls per panel either way. The FSE ships without a trigger head; a pressure sprayer like the Canyon CHS-3AN (available as a bundle option) makes the application more even and stops you over-dosing. Work it in with a soft \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mikrofasertuecher\"\u003emicrofibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e and buff off with a dry second cloth. The two-cloth method keeps streaks away, because the first cloth picks up dirt and lime while the second one only buffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn stubborn limescale on glass, let it dwell for 30–60 seconds before you buff. On paint, working it straight in without extra wait time is enough. Glass benefits the most: the FSE pulls water spots off your windows that pH-neutral quick detailers can't shift. Ordinary sprays only move the lime around visually — the acidic Kalk-EX formula breaks the mineral bond down chemically. On the rear window and side glass the method works exactly as it does on the windscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wash in regions with very hard water, you know the problem: even after careful drying, fine lime residue stays behind. That's when the FSE belongs straight into your routine after drying off — one shot onto the still slightly damp cloth covers whole panels. That stops lime from baking in and having to be removed the hard way later. On black and dark paint you spot lime residue instantly — that's where it pays to do it after every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-finish-spray-exterior-fse-quick-detailer-kalk-ex_anwendung.png?v=1776464226\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie FSE applied to car paint with a microfibre cloth\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves lime. Your coating too.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn vehicles with no active protective sealant, the Koch-Chemie FSE quick detailer is the right product: it dissolves limescale, water spots and mineral deposits on unsealed paint, glass and plastic and leaves gloss behind. That's its strong suit and the reason detailers and detailing shops keep it close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn vehicles with a ceramic coating or a long-life nano coating it's a different story. The pH of 2.5 can attack the cross-link structure of SiO₂-based coatings and cut their lifespan right down. If you're looking after an active ceramic coating, reach for a pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/quick-detailer\"\u003ecoating-safe quick detailer\u003c\/a\u003e instead. If you only have wax protection or no sealant at all: the FSE is the faster and more effective answer than a pH-neutral spray that doesn't dissolve lime but only moves it around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo more limits of the FSE: tar, bitumen spots and bug splatter don't react to acidic chemistry — for those you need a solvent-based product. And on baked-in limescale that has already etched into the clear coat, the FSE hits its ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt dissolves fresh mineral deposits reliably, but not paint damage from lime that has been left to sit too long. In that case you need a light polish first to fix the damage. After that the FSE protects reliably against new deposits during ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure whether your car has a sealant: water beading on the paint after rain is a good sign of an active LSP. In that case work with a pH-neutral quick detailer and use the FSE only on lime spots on glass or plastic, where coatings are rarely applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e“Great product.

If you live in a region with very hard water and wash your car yourself a lot, you'll find in the FSE a tool that pH-neutral quick detailers simply can't replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a detailing business the FSE is a classic for the final wipe-down after a full detail: sprayed on fast, buffed off straight away, high gloss done. The 10-litre and 200-litre containers make cost-effective bulk use possible. At a normal dose of 2–3 pulls per panel, 1 litre covers around 40–60 applications on a mid-size car — that works out to well under 30 cents per application. For shops detailing 10 to 20 cars a day, the 200-litre drum is the most economical option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FSE is less suited to vehicle owners with a ceramic coating or fresh wax protection who want a general-purpose care quick detailer. And anyone who mainly needs to remove tar or bug splatter comes up empty here too — the FSE isn't an all-purpose cleaner, it's a lime specialist with a conditioning effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo round out the lime workflow we suggest a top-up wax or a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/spruhversiegelung\"\u003espray sealant\u003c\/a\u003e after the FSE pass, if the car has no active LSP. The FSE cleans and leaves a light polymer protection behind, but it doesn't replace a full seal. If you want more durability after the lime treatment, finish the workflow with a spray sealant — the surface is then not just lime-free but protected too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Detailing1 insight: plenty of quick detailers promise limescale removal but only deliver a pH-neutral gloss film that visually masks the lime. The FSE is one of the few quick detailers on the German market that uses real acid-base chemistry at pH 2.5 to remove lime. The difference is visible: on heavily limed-up glass the FSE dissolves water spots in one pass that other sprays need three or four goes at. That's not a marketing claim, it's chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're choosing between the Koch-Chemie FSE and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-quick-finish-qf-quick-detailer\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Quick Finish QF\u003c\/a\u003e: the QF is pH-neutral and coating-safe, made for vehicles with active protection. The FSE is the right pick when limescale is the main problem and there's no active coating. Lime: FSE. Coating: QF.

The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate, a salt of thioglycolic acid, reacts with the iron(III) compounds in brake dust and lifts them off the wheel surface as a red-violet complex. The colour change isn't a marketing gimmick but the chemical reaction itself: where you see violet, iron is being converted right then and there. With a pH of 5–6 the formula stays gentle on painted and polished alloy wheels, chrome and steel. The high viscosity of 50 mPa·s means the product clings to vertical wheel faces instead of running straight off — so you get the full dwell time on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed-violet colour change as a reaction indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e No guessing how long to wait.

Warm surfaces let the gel dry on, and that leaves residue you then have to brush off. On heavily soiled wheels after months without cleaning, two short passes beat one long one: the active ingredient is chemically saturated after about 5 minutes. Just let it dwell twice for 3 minutes each and rinse in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. Spray. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the Magic Wheel Cleaner onto the cold, dry wheel — cover spokes, barrel, the rim edge and the wheel bolts evenly. Thanks to the syrup-like consistency the product clings vertically without you having to change how you work. Best to work bottom to top so you don't cover faces you've already wetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 to 60 seconds the colour change kicks in: first on spots with a lot of brake dust, then across the whole face. Red-violet streaks show you exactly where iron particles are being converted. After 2 to 5 minutes' dwell time the reaction is done — waiting longer gets you nothing, because the active ingredient is saturated after about 5 minutes. A common mistake is leaving the product on for 10 minutes hoping for better results. The opposite happens: the solution starts to dry on and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish by rinsing off with a strong jet of water from the pressure washer or garden hose, top to bottom. With heavy brake dust between tight spokes a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e can help spread the dissolved material — but not for scrubbing, just for touch-up. If you clean weekly to fortnightly, one pass usually does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on dosing: 500 ml lasts for about 10 full vehicle cleans. Per wheel, 40 to 50 ml is plenty. That works out to EUR 1.25 per full application — far more economical than the bottle price suggests, once you weigh it against the time spent mechanically scrubbing with less effective cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves iron particles. Not tar.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is built precisely for one job: dissolving brake dust and flash rust chemically. The reaction between ammonium mercaptoacetate and the iron(III) ions in brake dust is the mechanism — anything that isn't iron doesn't get touched. That explains the colour change as a diagnostic tool: no colour means no iron, and no effect in that case isn't a shortfall of the product but the right answer to the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary use, the Magic Wheel Cleaner also works on paint as a flash-rust remover — especially handy on vehicles parked under industrial fallout or next to railway tracks. Fine iron particles settle there on the clear coat and react with the MWC formula just like they do on the wheel. Used before polishing, it boosts the adhesion of any following wax or ceramic coating, because the paint surface is genuinely contamination-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the MWC isn't the right product: baked-on tar, bitumen spots and oily soiling don't react with thioglycolate salts. For that you need a solvent-based tar remover. On badly neglected wheels with months-old brake dust that has worked its way into the pores, the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-rwc\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e can be the better call — its acid system is more powerful, though not suited to every wheel material. The choice is clear: when safety on chrome and polished wheels matters, MWC. When you need maximum cleaning power and you're working with alloy painted and steel, RWC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second case where no wheel cleaner in the world will help anymore: when the wheel is already visibly corroded or the clear coat has flaked off. At that point cleaning isn't the issue anymore — paint refurbishment is. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is a care product, not a restoration product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour standard for the regular wheel workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is the right call for anyone who keeps their wheels on a regular schedule and wants a product where they don't have to think about material compatibility. One product, one step, all wheels done. That's workshop logic — and that's exactly what the MWC is formulated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt really plays its strengths when you look after several vehicles with different wheel types or work on a fleet. Instead of three cleaners for three wheel types, one does it. It's weaker on extremely baked-on brake-dust residue from high-performance brake setups, or on wheels that haven't been cleaned for months. In both cases a second pass or a more aggressive product makes more sense than extending the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution the Magic Wheel Cleaner works best paired with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vorreinigung\"\u003epre-cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e like Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B, applied as foam over the whole wheel before the MWC goes into the spokes. Finish with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etyre dressing\u003c\/a\u003e on the flank — and the complete wheel workflow comes in at around 15 minutes per vehicle, if you stay on it every two weeks. That's the most common combo our customers buy: Vorreiniger B + Magic Wheel Cleaner. A precise, repeatable routine that works without scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead to head with the acid-free classic SONAX FelgenBeast, the Magic Wheel Cleaner comes out ahead on two counts: the higher viscosity means longer contact time on the wheel, and the workshop formula is dosed stronger for commercial use. The FelgenBeast has a milder smell, though — if you work in a closed garage you'll definitely notice that. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is the workshop standard. The FelgenBeast is the garage all-rounder. Both do their job reliably; the question is which one fits your working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48503670374735,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500","price":13.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":49725159276879,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":49725159342415,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48503670407503,"sku":"D1-KCX-425010","price":124.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-saeurefreier-felgenreiniger.jpg?v=1776410618"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-allround-surface-cleaner-asc-allzweckreiniger","title":"Allround Surface Cleaner \"Asc\" All-Purpose Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReady-to-use and streak-free through the cabin with the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner?

The mist from the spray bottle works its way into display edges, button gaps and speaker grilles, where it settles as a fine film you won't get back out later. Instead, lay down 2–3 squirts on the folded face of your microfibre cloth and work from there onto the surface. Only on big, closed panels like door cards or the headliner do you spray straight onto the part — there the mist doesn't matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray, wait 30 seconds, microfibre after\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner undiluted onto the surface from about 10–15 cm, let it dwell for 15–30 seconds and wipe down with a clean microfibre cloth. That's all the prep it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger panels like the dashboard, door cards or headliner, three to five squirts per part is plenty. Give the cleaner a moment to break down skin oils, fingerprints and the dust-binding layer, then wipe down evenly with the dry side of your cloth. For vents, buttons and trim strips you spray onto the cloth first and work from there into the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the headliner with extra care: only dampen the cloth, never spray the part directly. The headliner fabric mustn't get soaked, or the adhesive underneath lets go. With the ASC you work in broad, long passes so no dry edges form between the damp and the untreated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is too much product and too long a dwell time. When the ASC flashes off, fine streaks stay behind that you then have to re-wet and wipe away — an avoidable extra round. So work panel by panel rather than across the whole surface, and keep the dwell time under a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a cleaning gun like the Tornador or Cyclone you can also work the ASC into textiles, seat seams and door pockets, where the cloth alone won't reach. The pH-neutral formula is built for it: it lifts the dirt into foam and picks back up with little residue. With the gun method, follow up afterwards with compressed air or a thirsty cloth so no moisture stays trapped in the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/asc_2_anwendung.jpg?v=1775896038\" alt=\"ASC sprayed onto a microfibre cloth in front of a car interior\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths and limits of the ASC day-to-day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is pH-neutral and ready-to-use.

That's deliberate in the formula, not a shortfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn typical everyday dirt the Allround Surface Cleaner pulls its weight: skin oil on the wheel, fingerprints on the touchscreen, a dust film on the centre console, pollen blown into the A-pillar, white specks on black plastic. That's what the product was made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn coated leather, piano black and gloss trim the neutral pH is an extra safety net that takes away the material guesswork that always rides along with alkaline interior cleaners. You don't have to think before every use about whether the product suits the material — on normal plastic, glass and leather surfaces in the car the ASC is a safe call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the ASC won't do: it won't shift old nicotine films, an oily workshop grip on the door frame or coffee stains baked into the fabric. Badly yellowed plastics on the sill or a dried cola splash in the cup holder need more muscle too. If your cabin gets cared for regularly, the Allround Surface Cleaner is your product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're prepping a lease return or getting a used car ready to sell, grab the alkaline \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eheavy-duty cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and then use the ASC afterwards on the finer surfaces like displays, leather and gloss trim.

A full interior detail on a passenger car burns through 80 to 150 ml of product. So the 10-litre canister is good for around 60 to 120 full details, depending on how dirty the cars are and how you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is less of a fit when you're mainly dealing with extreme cases — smoker cars, mouldy seats, dried coffee on microfibre seat covers, paint and grease splatter out of the service bay.

You spray it on as a pump mist over the pre-cleaned, still-wet engine bay, where it pushes out the residual water and cross-links after 6 to 8 hours into a dirt-repellent, wafer-thin layer.

Lay down puddles instead of a fine mist and you stretch the drying time well past the usual 6 to 8 hours, the polymer cures unevenly and leaves milky edges or tacky spots. The clean routine: let the engine cool to hand-warm, pre-clean with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star\u003c\/a\u003e at 1:10, rinse off with a soft water jet, mist Motorplast thinly into the still-wet bay, close the bonnet and let it sit overnight. Tap any leftover pools the next morning with a dry microfibre cloth. It's self-levelling — no working in with a pad needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on wet. Bonnet shut. Dry overnight.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray Motorplast onto the pre-cleaned, still-wet engine bay because the residual water carries the polymers right into the tight gaps before the product itself pushes it back out. That's pro technique straight from the Daimler factory-norm test, not a marketing slogan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you apply, let the engine cool down — hand-warm is ideal, boiling hot is not. On a block sitting at 130 °C oil temperature after a motorway run, the water-glycol-ether mix flashes off instantly and burns the polymers into the plastic as streaks. The officially approved heat window is 250 °C component temperature — that's for the cured film, not for the moment you apply it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a mid-size car, reckon on 50 to 200 ml. Work sparingly from about 20 cm away with the spray head and go systematically from back to front — valve cover, fuse box, then intake manifold, then the visible hoses and seals. You can reach awkward spots with a Cyclone or Tornador gun at 4 to 6 bar; in the home garage the supplied spray head does the job.

On these substrates the permanently elastic polymer film forms, holding off dirt build-up by months and slowing road-salt corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard limits are friction- and safety-critical. Drive belts, V-belts and pulleys are off-limits — the polymer layer cuts the grip friction, the belt slips and worst case the alternator drops out. For the same reason, keep it off brake components, brake disc faces and the pedals. On body paint, overspray leaves streaks and is pointless there anyway — Motorplast is no paint sealant. Any mist that lands on an inner wing or bumper edge, wipe it off straight away with a damp microfibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf too much product did end up in the bay and milky streaks have formed, a stripping routine with an alkaline cleaner sorts it: spray \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star\u003c\/a\u003e on generously at 1:10, foam it up with a soft detailing brush, rinse off.

Twice a year is plenty.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical rhythm for Motorplast is twice a year — once in spring after the salt season and once in autumn before winter sets in. In between, dusting the plastic covers with a microfibre cloth is enough. Detailing shops slot the product into their winter-check packages, because 5 minutes of work buys 6 months of corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml spray bottle is the right call for a single car or for hobbyists getting seasonal vehicles like convertibles or classics ready for spring. Per treatment 50 to 100 ml — so the bottle carries you across several seasonal cycles. For multi-car households or commercial detailers the 5 litre canister pays off: noticeably lower price per litre, just decant it into a separate \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie\u003c\/a\u003e cylinder bottle with a spray head. 20 and 200 litre containers are pure industrial variants for workshop groups and OEM supplier chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage is fussier than with many other detailing products: Motorplast keeps at +5 °C to +25 °C, frost-free and out of the sun. Frost breaks down the polymer emulsion and the product won't spray cleanly afterwards. It's fine in the garage or the stockroom — just don't let it overwinter in the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply Motorplast properly once — cold engine bay, wet pre-clean, thin mist, bonnet shut overnight — and you get an engine bay that looks the same after winter as it did before. That's the Detailing1 standard: not shine in the shop window, but an engine that still runs like new after three winters.

Its mix of anionic and nonionic surfactants emulsifies dirt without going after the wax or sealant film already on the paint. The formula is completely free of phosphates and NTA and is cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is exactly why you'll find it in hobby wash bays as well as in larger gantry washes and tunnel washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH 9 profile is the core design trade-off: strong enough to break down baked-on road film and pollen, mild enough to keep your typical carnauba waxes and paint sealants alive through a normal wash season.

Lukewarm water (25-30 °C) cuts through dirt noticeably faster than cold, and the foam should sit on a panel for 60 to 90 seconds at most before you rinse. Work in full sun and let the foam dry on, and you'll pull water spots and streaks onto the paint, which happens with any shampoo, not just As.

For dirtier cars after a long motorway run or van use, step up to 1:10 (around 100 ml in 10 litres); for cars parked outside all the time with baked-on pollen and bird mess, go to 1:5 (200 ml in 10 litres).

If the car gets washed one to four times a month, the paint is looked after normally but not ceramic-sealed, and there's no pricey coating-maintenance workflow running, As is the most economical and chemically sensible standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactivation Shampoo \"Rs\" steps in where a ceramic coating is under 18 months old and you want to reactivate it on every wash. Rs has a pH-neutral character and contains polymers that bond to the coating's SiO₂ structure and rebuild the hydrophobic beading. For a plain wash with no coating involved, Rs makes no sense, the extra cost per litre only pays off when a coating actually exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Effect Shampoo \"Ces\" is the premium option with an extra SiO₂ boost; it brings a mini coating refresh to every wash and suits cars with no permanent coating that should still show hydrophobic behaviour between detailing sessions.

That 1:3 ratio is Koch-Chemie's official spec and handles light to medium soiling without drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn heavily-soiled glass — nicotine film, baked-on bugs on the inside of the windshield, old adhesive or sticker residue — you go neat. Spray straight onto the glass towel, not the panel, so you don't fling drops onto the dashboard or door card. Neat is also the move for the inside of the windshield, where outgassed plastics build a paper-thin film that diluted mix only half-dissolves. You spot that layer by the streaky glare in backlight even after you've just cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDilution mistake we see often: concentrate first into the empty bottle, then water — that order builds a foam crown you'll be rinsing for minutes.

Cut to at least 1:3 and keep clear of the edges. On anti-fog coated interior glass (some OEM windshields from 2020 onward), neat Glas Star can streak — patch-test on a 5×5 cm spot first.

With fresh air on, the blower pulls dust out of the engine bay onto the glass while you're wiping — streaks are basically guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePros also flip the sun visors down, because an astonishing amount of spray ends up on them. When you're done and drive off, it runs back onto the freshly cleaned screen as drops. Neither trick lives in any data sheet, but they're the difference between \"okay clean\" and \"looks like a fresh hand-over.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work with the concentrate regularly, after a few months you build your own system: one dedicated spray bottle at one fixed ratio, a glass-only towel that never touches cockpit or paint, and a second towel for the dry-off. That separation stops silicone-oil residue from cockpit care creeping over the towel onto the next window, where it leaves the half-moon streaks that even a second clean barely takes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-glas-star-gla-glasreiniger-konzentrat_lineup.png?v=1776205730\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Glas Star Glass Cleaner Concentrate lineup — 1L, 10L, and 1L with Canyon spray head\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48463561163087,"sku":"D1-KCX-44001","price":7.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Canyon spray head CHS-3AN","offer_id":49154922414415,"sku":"D1-KCX-39104+CHS-3AN","price":12.42,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Canyon Spray Head CHS-3AN + HDPE Cylinder Bottle","offer_id":49154922447183,"sku":"D1-KCX-39104+CHS-3AN+HDPE","price":16.41,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48463564079439,"sku":"D1-KCX-44010","price":53.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 liters","offer_id":49602860613967,"sku":"D1-KCX-44020","price":97.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":49602860646735,"sku":"D1-KCX-44200","price":914.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-glas-star-premium-glasreinigerkonzentrat.jpg?v=1710623027"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-gummifix-guf-gummipflege-kunststoffpflege","title":"Gummifix \"Guf\" rubber and plastic care","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eLook after your rubber floor mats without making the pedals slippery, with the Koch-Chemie Gummifix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Gummifix?

Because there are no silicone oils in the formula, the treated surface stays grippy — a make-or-break point on pedal rubbers and floor mats, where slipperiness isn't a cosmetic problem but a safety risk.

Brake hard and your foot slides on the mat, your shoe loses grip on the pedal rubber. Gummifix works without silicone oils and keeps the natural grip of the surface — you feel the difference in the first emergency stop, not just on a lab readout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin darkening instead of plastic shine.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula brings back colour depth and texture without lacquering the surface. Rubber mats look like the day you bought them, plastic footwells look fresh rather than mirror-like. This is the look detailers and reconditioners reach for on used cars before the sales photos go up — sharpen it up without overdoing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne litre covers 20 to 30 sets of mats.\u003c\/strong\u003e You need 30 to 50 ml of product per full four-mat set. So the 1 L canister covers one to two years of regular care, while the 10 L canister is the trade standard for workshops and fleets. That works out to about EUR 0.35 in material per set of mats from the 1 L container — and a fair bit less from the 10 L canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with Gummifix is laying it on too thick. The product doesn't soak into the surface like a coating, it dries on top — too much material means a greasy film instead of satin depth. Spray on a thin mist, spread it evenly with a microfibre cloth, and let it flash off completely for at least 30 minutes before the mats go back in the car. Put the mats in wet and you get exactly the slippery surface that going silicone-free was meant to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClean mat. Thin coat. 30 minutes to dry.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray Gummifix onto the clean, dry surface or wipe it on with a sponge — not onto wet or freshly shampooed rubber. Leftover moisture dilutes the product and stops the surface from taking it up evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you treat them, the mats come out of the car, get shaken out, degreased with APC or a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kunststoffpflege\"\u003eplastic cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and rinsed clear. Only once the surface is visibly clean and dry does the care make any sense. Eight to ten spray bursts per mat, spread it quickly with a microfibre cloth — with heavy soiling, go twice thin rather than once thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame logic for pedal rubbers, just on a smaller scale: three to four bursts per pedal, spread it with a fingertip on the microfibre cloth, let it flash off. Most pedal rubbers have a fine tread that quickly clogs with dust and rubber dust — here Gummifix doesn't just lift the colour, it cleans as you spread it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying time is the setting that gets skipped most often. At 20 °C room temperature, full flash-off takes 30 to 60 minutes, quicker in the summer sun, a lot longer in a cold winter garage. Rule of thumb: when the mat doesn't feel damp to the touch and you don't leave a film on your glove, it can go back in the car. When in doubt, air it an hour longer, not five minutes shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking straight from the 1 L canister does work, but it's too imprecise on fine pedal rubbers or seat consoles. A spray bottle with an adjustable fine-mist head is the difference between dosing and a full bath — pedal rubbers especially are small areas that cop too much product head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_anwendung.png?v=1776198289\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix with a Star spray head being sprayed onto a rubber floor mat\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMats and pedals yes. Dashboard no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core job for Gummifix is the horizontal surfaces in the footwell and boot: rubber floor mats, plastic footwells, pedal rubbers, boot liners and sill trims. On these surfaces the satin darkening plays to its strengths — a fresh look without the artificial shine that looks out of place down in the footwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works reliably on rubber seals, door rubbers and boot seals too — it keeps the seals supple and stops them cracking from drying out, especially after UV exposure in the summer. Once a season on the seal rubbers is enough for that; twice a year is plenty for cars that spend a lot of time outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn tyre sidewalls and outdoor rubber that's permanently weathered, Gummifix isn't your first pick — its life under the weather is around two to three washes, then the care starts to wash off. For tyres there are dedicated tyre dressings with longer staying power and UV protection; for outdoor plastics like bumper add-ons or wheel-arch trims we stock the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-plast-star-pss-premium-kunststoffpflege-siliconoelfrei\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Plast Star\u003c\/a\u003e — also silicone-oil-free, but with higher weather resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Gummifix is the wrong product: glossy dashboards, cockpit plastic on the dash and door cards. There you usually want a light shine, not matte darkening. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-top-star-ts-innenraum-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Top Star\u003c\/a\u003e is the alternative for that — same brand, with a satin-gloss finish instead of matte darkening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf safety on the pedals and mats is your priority, grab the Gummifix. If you want shine on the dashboard, reach for the Top Star. Having both in the garage costs less together than a single shop visit and covers 90 percent of interior care — for the other 10 percent (leather, Alcantara, upholstery) you'll need dedicated products anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_ergebnis.png?v=1776193282\" alt=\"Floor mat after Koch-Chemie Gummifix treatment in the car footwell\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGummifix or Gkg or Gkv\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three rubber and plastic care products in the range — same product category, three different jobs. This breakdown saves you the wrong buys we often see in support when customers mix up the three abbreviations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGummifix — abbreviation Guf — is the matte, grippy option for floor mats and pedal rubbers. The Koch-Chemie Gummi- und Kunststoffpflege Gkg produces a clear high gloss and is meant for visible exterior parts like bumper plastic or wheel-arch trims — where you actually want shine. The Gkv is the third tier with an added vinyl component for boat covers, convertible tops and vinyl flooring — more specialised, usually too much product and too pricey per use for everyday cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur usage profile from 10 years on the job: Gummifix for everything your shoe touches getting in and out. Gkg for visible exterior plastics that should shine. Gkv for special materials like marine applications. If you only want one product on the shelf and mostly look after the footwell, Gummifix is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 L canister lasts one to two seasons on one car, the 10 L canister is the trade standard for workshops, dealerships and fleets with 20 to 50 vehicles. Between the two sizes sit the two- and three-packs of the 1 L container, which ease the step up to the 10 L canister price-wise without having to jump straight to a commercial quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Detailing1 insight you won't read from the manufacturer: Gummifix is also the ideal product after an interior clean with steam. After steam cleaning, rubber floor mats are extremely open-pored and take care up especially well — a single thin coat then gives you a depth and staying power that would take three applications without the prep. Steam-clean your mats once a year and care for them straight after, and you'll have mats that still look after three years like they did at six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second insight is about pairing it with how you handle interior textiles: if you've got carpet floor mats in the car and rubber floor mats as a winter set, give the rubber mats one solid treatment with Gummifix in spring before they go down to the cellar. The product stops them drying out and going brittle over the summer — in autumn the mats come back into the car looking like the day you put them away. No chalking, no white haze, no hardened edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_lineup.png?v=1776195721\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix 1L bottle and 10L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48463594979663,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001","price":8.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49723985854799,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001_2","price":16.72,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49723985887567,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001_3","price":25.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48463595012431,"sku":"D1-KCX-48010","price":69.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gummifix-gummipflege-kunststoffpflege.jpg?v=1710622833"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-hand-wax-w0-01-carnauba-wachsversiegelung","title":"Hand Wax \"W0.01\" Carnauba wax sealant","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Hand Wax W0.01 — Carnauba Wax Sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Hand Wax W0.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is a high-quality carnauba wax specially developed to seal painted surfaces and plastic parts on vehicles with long-lasting protection.

If you only wipe the surface with a cloth, this effect remains – and you think the paint is perfect. Only when the PPS completely removes all oil residues do you see the paint as it truly is. For professional detailers, this is an indispensable step in their workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady-to-use and without dilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS goes directly from the bottle onto the paint – no mixing effort, no dosing errors.

IPA is the industry standard for paint preparation before sealants and coatings because it evaporates quickly, leaves no residue, and has a broad effect against non-polar compounds such as waxes, silicone oils, and polishing oils. The formulation, optimized for car paint, makes the difference: the ingredients are tailored for sensitive, high-gloss clear coats – precisely those surfaces where an overly aggressive degreaser could cause microscopic damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the user, this means: You can use PPS directly after polishing without damaging freshly worked clear coats with the alcohol base. The volatility of the alcohol ensures that the surface is immediately ready for the next step after wiping. For \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-ceramic-allround-c0-02-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramic Allround C0.02 Ceramic Coating\u003c\/a\u003e, PPS is the recommended preparation step: Only on a completely grease-free surface can the ceramic polymer achieve maximum adhesion and thus the full protection duration of up to 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS as an Inspection Spray in the Polishing Workflow – Reliably Detecting Holograms and Scratches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inspection function of PPS is at least as important as the degreasing function in professional paint detailing. The principle: Polishing oils have an optical filling property – they settle into fine surface defects and make them invisible under normal lighting. Only when these oils are completely removed by an IPA degreaser does the clear coat reveal its true condition. Anyone who skips this step risks applying a ceramic coating or wax over holograms and fine scratches – the defects are sealed in and remain permanently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, PPS is sprayed onto the treated area after each polishing pass and immediately wiped dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For maximum inspection quality, it is advisable to examine the area under a cold light source or detailing LED immediately after wiping – even very fine holograms can then be clearly identified. If the area still shows defects after the PPS check, another correction pass is performed; if the surface is flawless, the sealing can begin immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"rte panel\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1 Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use a fresh, clean microfiber cloth for the PPS check – never the same one you used for polishing beforehand. Polishing oil residues in the cloth would falsify the inspection. In practice, we recommend short-pile, densely woven microfiber polishing cloths. After wiping, immediately assess the surface at a shallow angle under an LED handheld lamp – this shows holograms much sharper than normal room light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application and Material Compatibility – Paint, Plastic, Metal, and Rims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie PPS is not limited to car paint. The material-friendly formulation allows its use on all smooth surfaces in the vehicle sector: clear coat and base coat, uncoated and coated plastic, metal (e.g., chrome, aluminum), rim surfaces, and glass surfaces are suitable areas of application. The same application rules apply to motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and motorhomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important limitation: PPS is not a universal cleaner and not a substitute for a thorough pre-wash. It effectively removes polishing oils and light wax residues on already cleaned surfaces – but not dried tar or insect residues and brake dust. Specific cleaning products are needed for these contaminations; only then is PPS used as the final degreaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS Comparison: When is hardware store IPA sufficient, when is Koch-Chemie PPS needed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePure isopropanol from the hardware store works for many applications – but is often too highly concentrated for freshly polished, sensitive clear coats. Koch-Chemie PPS is specially formulated for paint preparation: optimal concentration, maximum compatibility on clear coat, and a practical spray system for precise dosing. Anyone detailing a high-quality vehicle or degreasing after intensive machine polishing work is on the safer side with PPS. In addition, PPS offers the dual function as an inspection spray, which pure hardware store IPA does not.

The \"Stream\" setting delivers a concentrated jet with a range of up to approx. 40 cm — ideal for wheel arch gaps or targeted insect pre-treatment on the hood. In \"Spray\" mode, the nozzle atomizes into a fine aerosol, which is evenly distributed over approx. 25–30 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor continuous operation during foam washing or extensive quick detailer application, the CHS-3AN has a holding tab on the trigger. You push the trigger all the way through and slide the small plastic tab forward — the spray head then remains open without you having to hold it. This saves your wrist when working on larger vehicles and makes extensive application on station wagon roofs or SUV side panels much more relaxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piston mechanism is designed as a \"Ring-Lip-Piston\" — this is Canyon terminology for a sealing lip that yields under pressure and seals cleanly on the return stroke.

These bottles include our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-hdpe-zylinderflasche-28-400-spruehflasche-1000ml\"\u003eHDPE cylindrical bottle 28\/400\u003c\/a\u003e, the CarPro Dilute bottles, and most neutral empty bottles from detailing wholesalers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number \"28\/400\" refers to two things: the neck outer diameter (28 mm) and the thread type according to the SPI standard (400 = flat thread with 6.3 turns per inch). The 28\/410 thread is almost identical in diameter but has a different flank geometry. The difference is hardly visible — but measurable: a 28\/410 spray head on a 28\/400 bottle sits crooked and only seals on one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe spray head is not suitable for the original 500 ml and 750 ml bottles from Koch-Chemie — these have a 28\/410 thread and come with their spray head supplied ex works. For 28\/400 bottles, the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head is the suitable component, but not a replacement for high-pressure pump sprayers like an iK Multi 3 or iK Foam Pro 2. The delivery rate is sufficient for manual detailing, not for active pressure build-up or foam generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you often switch between spraying overhead and normal spray direction, it's worth taking a look at the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ik-sprayers-spruehkopf-ik-trigger-multi-tr-1-360-canyon-chs3an\"\u003eiK Trigger 360°\u003c\/a\u003e from the same Canyon family.

For workshops and detailers who use several bottles in parallel, it's worth buying as a spare part — a second spray head costs less than a new bottle plus head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is less suitable if you only buy pre-packaged spray products from Koch-Chemie, as these come with the Opus spray head already assembled. It also has no place in 5-liter canister operations — there, a pump sprayer or pressure sprayer does the work. Also not an area of application: highly acidic wheel cleaners like Koch-Chemie Rim Cleaner Acid (Rrp). The acid resistance of the CHS-3AN ends at pH values around 2.5 — anything below that attacks the seals in a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're starting from scratch, go straight for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-spruehflasche-set\"\u003eSpray Head + 1,000 ml HDPE Bottle Set\u003c\/a\u003e. The set costs 7.49 euros compared to 7.98 euros for the individual parts — two fewer items in the shopping cart and a bottle that fits perfectly sealed ex works. For labeling your self-filled bottles, a waterproof industrial marker or a pre-printed label is essential: contents, dilution, filling date. An unlabeled spray bottle with diluted APC next to one with diluted glass cleaner is a classic detailer's mix-up — and exactly why professionals label every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Detailing1-Insight to conclude: If you're honest, you don't replace the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head because of a defect, but because of contamination. A spray head that has been used for APC for years can never be fully converted to glass cleaner — microscopic surfactant residues in the internal channel will foam up the glass cleaner and leave streaks. The solution is a fixed assignment: one spray head per product type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop, you label the trigger directly with a dot from a paint marker. Green for glass cleaner, Red for APC, Blue for quick detailer, Yellow for IPA wipes. Four heads, four bottles, no confusion — and each head will then last its two to three years because it runs with consistent chemistry and doesn't see different surfactants every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding durability in numbers: With daily professional use and correct care (flushing with water after use, OFF position for storage), the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head achieves an average of 18,000 to 25,000 spray intervals. With a stroke of 1.2 ml, this corresponds to approximately 25 to 30 completely emptied 1,000 ml bottles before valve tension or the sealing lip noticeably degrades. Hobby detailers practically never replace the head due to wear, but only due to contamination or a misplaced bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-canyon-chs-3an_closeup.jpg?v=1776204869\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie spray head \" star chs-3an by canyon in hand workshop loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48488820212047,"sku":"D1-KCX-999001","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-chs-3an-canyon.png?v=1722941263"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-schleifpaste-h7-01-schleifpolitur-grob","title":"Grinding Paste \"H7.01\" Grinding Polish (Coarse)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Abrasive Paste \"H7.01\" — Coarse Abrasive Polish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Abrasive Paste H7.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is a highly effective, coarse abrasive polish developed for the rapid reconditioning of severely weathered paintwork.

Day-to-day you save 5–10 minutes of drying per wash, because all you do is wipe the leftover water off edges and mirrors. Koch-Chemie calls this \"Micro-Bead-free Drying\" — the water forms no standing droplets, it runs off in sheets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection beyond the paint.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pw preserves more than just paint — it also seals rubber and plastic trim as well as convertible tops.

That sets it apart from hard waxes, which need 20–30 minutes of working time per car, or ceramic coatings, which take paint correction as prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMix 30 ml of concentrate into 1 litre of water — best in a foam sprayer like the Gloria FM10 or a pump-up spray bottle. Spray the solution evenly onto the wet, freshly washed car. Start at the roof and work your way down: bonnet, wings, doors, bumpers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product works straight away — you can see from the changed surface tension that the reactive components are keying in. The 1:33 dilution sounds light, but it's chosen on purpose: Koch-Chemie designed the Pw for car-wash use, where only 13–19 ml goes on undiluted per car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 2–3 minutes of dwell time, rinse everything off with the pressure washer, top to bottom. Thoroughly, with plenty of water. This is the critical step: rinse too little and you get white wax residue on dark paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen wipe the leftover water off mirrors, door edges and the fuel cap with a drying towel. The rest runs off on its own thanks to the sheeting. A common mistake we see day-to-day: some people then spray a finish spray on top. That's counterproductive, because the spray partly lifts the fresh wax layer back off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie offers its own spray bottle with a printed dilution scale — handy, but not a must. Any standard pump sprayer or foam sprayer does the job.

The gloss build is cumulative: every layer cross-links with the one before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, a single application lasts 3–5 weeks. That sounds short next to ceramic coatings with 12+ months of durability — but it's a different concept. The Pw is a care routine, not a one-off shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wash every 1–2 weeks and apply the Pw each time, you've got lasting protection that beats a neglected one-off sealant. Detailers in the community report that after a week of bad weather and 1,000 kilometres their car was cleaner than after a hand wash without the Pw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat comes down to the Lotus effect: dirt particles cling less to the hydrophobic surface and get partly washed off by the next rain. This self-cleaning behaviour is called sheeting — the water forms no standing droplets (beading), it runs off as a closed film and carries dirt particles with it. The Pw gives you both: beading across the flat panels and sheeting at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the Protector Wax can't do: fill scratches or restore oxidised paint. Fine swirls are visually masked by the gloss build, but not chemically bonded. If you've got visible scratches, you need a polish first before the wax makes sense. The order: wash, polish, then seal with the Pw — not the other way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn ceramic-coated cars the Pw is redundant — the coating already has better durability and hydrophobicity.

For self-service-bay users it slots straight into the existing wash routine. With a pleasant cherry scent instead of the typical chemical smell of many wax products, you can use it in an underground car park or with the garage door shut, too. It works on glass as well — the windscreen picks up a light water-repellent effect from the Pw that improves visibility in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Protector Wax is less suited to you if you only wash every 4–8 weeks.

The 20-litre version is meant for car-wash operators and commercial detailers who dose the Pw by machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore frost-free, and never keep diluted product — always mix it fresh. The reactive components lose their cross-linking ability once diluted. The concentrate itself keeps indefinitely when stored correctly between 5 and 30 °C. A tip for winter: the Pw contains no mineral oil hydrocarbons, which makes it kinder to the environment than many solvent-based wax products — relevant if you wash at a self-service bay with biological waste-water treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe full wash workflow with the Protector Wax looks like this: pre-wash with snow foam, contact wash with car shampoo using the two-bucket method, rinse clear, spray the Pw on and rinse off. Under 30 minutes for the whole car, sealing included. No separate step, no swapping tools, no extra drying time thanks to the sheeting effect. That makes the Protector Wax the logical finish to any hand wash — from the occasional washer to the fleet operator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-protector-wax-pw-konservierungswachs-nassversiegelung-lineup.jpg?v=1776077468\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Protector Wax Pw 1 litre bottle and 10 litre canister\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1493\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48489158148431,"sku":"D1-KCX-319001","price":29.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49764590747983,"sku":"D1-KCX-319001_2","price":59.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49764591010127,"sku":"D1-KCX-319001_3","price":89.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48762521289039,"sku":"D1-KCX-319010","price":147.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 liters","offer_id":49673116418383,"sku":"D1-KCX-319020","price":280.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-protector-wax-pw-konservierungswachs-nassversiegelung.png?v=1721902170"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-eulex-m-eum-klebstoffentferner","title":"Eulex M \"Eum\" Adhesive Remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdhesive remover for pro-level results with \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Eulex M \"Eum\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Eulex M\u003c\/strong\u003e is a punchy \u003cstrong\u003eadhesive remover\u003c\/strong\u003e that lifts even stubborn residue — \u003cstrong\u003eglue\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eresin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoil\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egrease marks\u003c\/strong\u003e — without a fight.

A silicone-oil-free, coarse heavy compound with a cut rating of 9.0 and a gloss rating of 6.0 that machine-removes sanding marks down to 1,200 grit, deep scratches and weathering from the paint.

The abrasives break down during the polishing pass until they go translucent, and they keep cutting without burning through long enough to fully correct a panel without topping up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is what sets the H9.02 apart from old-school rubbing compounds: instead of big, coarse abrasives sitting in a wax carrier, the formula uses an evenly tuned particle-size spread that fractures as you polish and so automatically turns finer in the second phase of the pass. The result is a noticeably higher gloss at the same cut — fewer holograms after the first step, and often a starting point that only needs one follow-up stage.

When you prime a fresh pad, soak it right across the face — only then do the abrasives and the pad actually work together. From the second section on, 3 to 5 pea-sized drops per 40\u0026times;40 cm panel is enough. Flood half the pad again on the second section and you end up with a layer of leftover compound residue that visibly drags the gloss down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold paint.

Leftover contamination acts like grit and cuts fresh scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every polishing round, the paint needs degreasing — best with an IPA cleaner from the prep range, to kill off any wax residue first. For machine choice, the maker sets a clear order: a rotary at medium speed for maximum cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 generation of the Heavy Cut pads now also lets you run them on dual-action polishers (DA polishers) — gloss stays comparable, the cutting time per panel goes up by about 20 percent. On the fresh pad you lay down an even film when you prime, spread it with finger pressure while the machine is off, then start at speed 1 to 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking a crosshatch pattern with moderate pressure, you take a panel of 40 by 40 centimetres until the compound goes translucent. That is the point where the abrasives have fully broken down and the aluminium oxide has hit its finest grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore that point the grit still cuts too hard and leaves a rough microsurface; past that point the pad runs dry and throws holograms. Two to three section passes per panel is the standard — on heavier defects, shrink the panel rather than stretch the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wipe the residue off with a clean, edgeless microfibre cloth — don't rub, wipe. Between panels, check the pad for saturation: if it is caked and shiny, loosen it up with a pad-cleaning brush; if it is smeared, swap it instead of fighting on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_anwendung.jpg?v=1776554761\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 with a rotary on clear coat\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut rating 9.0 clears P1200. Down to primer it won't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 is a correction compound, not a repair. Anything that sits within the thickness of the clear coat — swirls from automatic car washes, buffer trails, sanding marks after wet-sanding down to P1200, water-spot etching, light bird-dropping etching, UV dulling — comes back in one to three passes. Anything that already reaches into the colour coat or primer won't be fixed by any polish on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA paint thickness gauge is a must for serious work at cut rating 9. Modern OEM clear coats run between 40 and 60 microns, and a single H9.02 pass takes off 1 to 3 microns depending on pad and pressure. Work with no gauge and correct three times, and on jet-black clear coat you'll be down to the colour coat faster than you'd think — and then neither a finishing polish nor a sealant saves you, only a respray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limits: bitumen, tar and silicone stains don't react chemically with the aluminium oxide — for those you need a tar remover before you polish. Very soft Japanese clear coats (Toyota white, a few Mazda reds) can tip into the hologram phase fast with the lambswool pad, so here you're better off starting straight with the Foam Pad Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine correction of medium scratches the H9.02 is overkill — that's where the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-fine-cut-f601-schleifpolitur-fein\"\u003eFine Cut F6.01\u003c\/a\u003e is the right tool.

For the occasional polisher it's overkill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's aimed at keen home detailers with a rotary or DA polisher, semi-pro reconditioners with a regular fleet workload, and shops prepping used cars for resale. If you refresh your new car once a year, you're a lot better off with a finer polish like the F6.01 or an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn cost, the 250 ml bottle is already the standard size for home use: at 2 to 3 millilitres per panel it lasts for around 100 to 125 panels, or roughly three to four full corrections — that works out to a material cost of about 14 to 17 cents per panel, priming the pad included. The 1-litre bottle pays off from the tenth correction job a year, and the 5-litre canister is the bulk size for outfits running flat out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn day-to-day Detailing1 work the H9.02 never stands alone — it's step 1 in a two- to three-stage polishing system. The typical Koch-Chemie workflow: H9.02 on the Heavy Cut Pad Red for the coarse correction, Fine Cut F6.01 on the Fine Cut Foam Pad Yellow to even out the sanding structure, Micro Cut M3.02 to clear the holograms. Skip step 3 and you accept visible micro-sanding marks on dark paint. Over 87 percent of our H9.02 buyers add the F6.01 to the same basket — exactly for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the biggest lever for a clean result is neither the polish nor the pad — it's the state of the paint before the first drop.

With an abrasive rating of 9.0, it is designed for paint conditions where finer polishes like Fine Cut F6.01 or the Lack-Polish range simply don't cut deep enough. Typical application situations: heavily oxidized paint on old vehicles, deep holograms after several years of car wash visits, coarse sanding marks after wet sanding (from P1500 grit), scratches that extend beyond the clear coat layer, or as a first step in complete paint correction. The difference to simple polishing pastes lies in the abrasive particle size and hardness - the B9.01 actually removes material instead of just filling defects. Therefore, a note: after B9.01, always follow with a fine polishing step with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-fine-cut-f601-schleifpolitur-fein\"\u003eFine Cut F6.01\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-micro-cut-finish-p3-01-micro-schleifpolitur-carnaubawachs\"\u003eMicro Cut \u0026amp; Finish P3.01\u003c\/a\u003e to polish out the micro-scratches created by the Heavy Cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMachine selection and pad recommendation for maximum cutting performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B9.01 shows its strongest performance with a \u003cstrong\u003erotary polisher\u003c\/strong\u003e and a Heavy Cut Pad (hard foam pad or lamb's wool pad). Rotary machines generate more heat and friction through the combined rotating and oscillating motion - which activates the abrasive particles of the B9.01 more effectively. The B9.01 can also be used with an orbital polisher and a corresponding Heavy Cut Pad, although the abrasive effect is less than with a rotary machine. Apply five pea-sized drops to the pad, spread at low speed, then work in a cross-hatch pattern with medium pressure and medium speed.

Silicone oils also interfere with the adhesion of sealants and ceramic coatings. The Koch-Chemie B9.01 is formulated silicone-oil-free - what it shows after application is the actual polishing result, not a masked impression.

In the foam cannon you mix roughly 100 ml of concentrate into 900 ml of water.

Here's why: your pressure washer dilutes the mix again at the nozzle — usually by a factor of 15 to 25, depending on flow rate. That's the so-called Panel Impact Ratio, PIR for short. Quick bucket test: spray 1 litre of water through the lance, then measure the total water in the bucket. If 20 litres come out, your machine has a PIR factor of 1:20 — so you only need a pre-dilution of 1:5 in the lance to land the VDA-compliant 1:100 on the paint. And don't work in the sun, don't let it dry on, or even the best maths won't save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam cannon, pre-diluted 1:10, three minutes' dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic application goes like this: car in the shade, paint dry or pre-rinsed, hook the foam cannon up to the pressure washer, pre-dilute the concentrate somewhere between 1:10 (winter, salt, baked-on brake dust) and 1:50 (summer, pollen, city grime) with warm water, and spray bottom to top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet it dwell three to five minutes, then start at the top with the pressure washer and work down. Unlike the compressed-air pump sprayer — where the mix in the bottle is exactly the mix that hits the paint — the pressure washer adds water at the nozzle. In the pump sprayer the realistic dilution sits at 1:20 to 1:50, with no PIR effect, and the dwell time should run one to three minutes at most, or the foam dries on. The denser foam from the lance hangs longer, stays wet, and gives you the full five-minute window the VDA defines for Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bucket you dose 1:300 — about 35 ml to 10 litres — and work with the microfibre mitt like you would with a regular shampoo. The upside over a classic pH-neutral car shampoo: the alkalinity breaks down baked-on summer grime and pollen film better. The downside: every contact wash with Af strips a little wax. If you're running a sealant, switch the contact phase over to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf\u003c\/a\u003e, which is certified wax-safe at pH 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we see day-to-day: the most common beginner mistake isn't the dilution, it's rinsing from too close. High pressure from 30 to 40 centimetres is plenty — get the nozzle in to 5 centimetres and you mechanically grind pollen and sand into the clear coat instead of washing them away. The foam has done its job; now the water jet should only carry things off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ANWENDUNG: Daniel mit Schaumkanone an Auto, dichter Sandelholz-Schaum auf Lack — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_anwendung.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCarnauba gives way.

On intact ceramic coatings (SiO2, often pH-stable from 2 to 13) Af is harmless — plenty of detailers even reach for it deliberately to lift the traffic film that masks the coating's hydrophobic behaviour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith carnauba waxes it's a different story. A rare, correctly diluted pre-wash inside the VDA window won't strip the wax. But stand at the foam cannon with Af every single week and you'll break down the protective layer measurably faster than with a pH-neutral foam. The day-to-day rule: sealant younger than three months plus a weekly wash, then hands off Af and switch to the Gentle Snow Foam.

The 10 kg drum starts to pay from the second car on, or in the detailing hobby, because the per-litre price drops noticeably and you just decant the concentrate into an empty spray bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetailers and workshops usually reach for the 21 kg or 210 kg pack, because at 3 to 8 millilitres of usage per car in a rollover system the unit cost runs towards nothing. The 210 kg barrel goes out by freight forwarder with us — and yes, Active Foam is phosphate- and NTA-free, so it's cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is a must for commercial wash lines on a closed water loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've moved into a sealant routine and mainly want to hold the hydrophobic effect, switch your maintenance wash to the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eGentle Snow Foam\u003c\/a\u003e and only pull the Active Foam out every few weeks for the deep pre-wash. If you keep an older car clean of everyday grime and have no wax layer to protect, you're better off with Af as your standard pre-cleaner than with any milder foam. In the current spring trend, where pollen and Sahara dust are measurably driving searches for car foam cleaner in the DACH region versus last year, this pre-wash logic matters more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe the most important Detailing1 note to finish on: the sandalwood scent isn't a marketing gimmick. Highly concentrated anionic surfactants smell sharp and biting on their own — the scent is an odour binder that makes working in enclosed spaces bearable. The fact that customers at wash lines link the smell with cleanliness and premium care and accept higher programme prices is the economic bonus layer on top. For your own garage it mainly means: ventilate well, don't work in a closed hall with no fresh air, and always label the spray bottle with its contents once you've decanted the concentrate from the 10 kg drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 LINEUP: Active Foam 1L + 10kg Kanister + Schaumkanone als Workflow-Stillleben — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_lineup.png --\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":49515049288015,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001","price":9.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":18.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":27.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":48.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":98.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":959.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum.png?v=1726400580"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.fr\/en\/collections\/topseller.oembed?page=8","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
