This 1000ml car shampoo pairs clever chemistry with a no-fuss wash to lift your paint to a whole new level of gloss. The special formula cuts through heavy grime fast, so wash day stops feeling like a chore. On top of that it's pH-neutral, so it won't touch your clear coat. It's a great fit for coated cars and plays nicely with foam lances and foam guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e: lifts dirt and residue without harming the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to use\u003c\/strong\u003e: goes on and rinses off without drama, ideal for coated cars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe and gentle\u003c\/strong\u003e: the pH-neutral formula looks after the paint and keeps the gloss going.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrong cleaning, easy rinse-off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Neutral Creamy Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e really shines is its cleaning power. The pH-neutral formula skips the harsh chemicals and whips up a dense, creamy foam that melts grime away with ease. That makes it a real workhorse on stubborn dirt. You can dilute it 1:50, so a single bottle goes a long way. The best part, though, is the rinse-off.

After that you rinse the shampoo off thoroughly and pull away any leftover water droplets with a towel or cloth.

Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. 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=\"\/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=\"\/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.

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. For that you reach for the specialists — \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003ebug remover\u003c\/a\u003e, tar remover or wheel cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the car's really dirty and you want to turn the Gsf into an active foam, add 10–30 ml of Green Star per litre of mixed foam in the lance.

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":13.49,"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":53.99,"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-autoshampoo-as-auto-shampoo","title":"Autoshampoo \"As\" Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eWeekly hand washing with no wax or sealant loss, thanks to Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\"?

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.

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=\"\/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. Ceramic doesn't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 9.5, Active Foam Af is clearly more alkaline than a classic pH-neutral shampoo, but moderate next to Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, which runs at pH 13 and tears wax down on contact. 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. Sealant refreshed every six months, or a ceramic coating, and Af makes a sensible deep pre-wash between your maintenance washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Af also won't shift: deep-set mineral water spots — for those the acidic \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo Rs\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call, because it pulls limescale plugs out of the coating's pores. Baked-on bugs are too much for the foam as well. There you grab a dedicated bug remover locally, or the highly alkaline \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e from the green line. Active Foam is an excellent pre-cleaner, not a specialist for every kind of dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ERGEBNIS: Lack mit Wassersaitenmuster nach Spülung, sauber und matt-feucht glänzend — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_ergebnis.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailers, car washes and ambitious home users\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive Foam Af comes out of Koch-Chemie's pro range in Unna, yellow-coded like all the wash-chemistry products and available in pack sizes up to the 210 kg barrel. In rollover washes and self-service bays Af is an industry standard, because the thick foam visually signals a premium wash and the sandalwood scent works as an argument for higher programme prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the home user, Af pays off once the foam cannon is already hanging off a strong enough pressure washer — you have to physically work out the PIR once yourself, because every pump draws differently. The 1-litre bottle is the easy way in for a single car and lasts about three to four months on a fortnightly pre-wash. 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=\"\/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":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":17.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":26.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":46.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":95.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":928.79,"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"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-aktivwaesche-aw-aktiv-shampoo","title":"Aktivwäsche \"Aw\" Active Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eAktivwäsche Aw works in the tunnel, in the lance and in the bucket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche Aw?

Overdose it and you get a sticky dry residue on the paint, not better gloss. 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is the mark where micelle formation runs clean: at that concentration the surfactant molecules form little foam spheres that capsule the dirt and carry it off when you rinse. Lukewarm water instead of cold speeds up the surfactant work without tipping the dry time. More is counterproductive, less doesn't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e50 millilitres to 10 litres of water. Then Aw works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw runs on three clear dose rates, and which one you need comes down to the workflow, not taste. In the roll-over wash system, 3 to 7 millilitres per car go straight through the dosing pump into the water concentrate. In the foam lance you mix the concentrate in the supply tank at 1:10 to 1:30. In the hand bucket, 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is enough — that's the 1:200 dilution Koch-Chemie lists on every product data sheet for the Aktivwäsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the first bucket, you roll the car into the shade and let it cool down. Aw flashes off on hot paint within seconds, and the dry residue is a pain to rinse off afterwards. Loose grit comes off first with the pressure washer — sand and brake dust have no business in your wash mitt. Then two \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-detailing-bucket-wascheimer-20l\"\u003ewash buckets\u003c\/a\u003e with grit guards side by side, one for the shampoo solution, one with clean water to rinse out the mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wash top to bottom, panel by panel. Roof first, sills last. After each panel wring the mitt out in the rinse bucket, then load up on shampoo again. Important: don't soap up the whole car — work panel by panel and rinse straight off with clean water. Aw is fast, but once the foam dries on you're starting half the panel over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo dry, a thick microfibre towel around 950 gsm or the leaf blower. Both keep off the limescale marks that show up half an hour later when water droplets run down and evaporate. If you want to freshen the car up on top of that, follow Aw with a second cleaning workflow from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/autoshampoo\"\u003eshampoo category\u003c\/a\u003e — pre-wash, snow foam or quick detailer, depending on what the car needs. Aw is the base, not the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running the foam lance, you mix Aw into the supply tank beforehand. The exact dilution depends on the foam insert and the water pressure — we start at 1:20 and dial it in after the first pass. Too thin means no all-over foam that clings long enough. Too thick means the concentrate drips off as a syrupy film and streaks later. Visual cue: the foam should sit on paint and glass for around 60 to 90 seconds, then come off top-down with the pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" in use in the bucket' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw attacks coatings. In the driveway it stays in the canister.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 7.5 Aktivwäsche Aw is almost neutral, but it carries a slightly alkaline kick — which is exactly what you want when the paint needs to be stripped clean before polishing or sealing. That same kick, though, attacks existing coatings, wax layers and SiO2 sealants over time. If you want to maintain a fresh ceramic coating rather than strip it, reach for Koch-Chemie NanoMagic Shampoo Nms at a mild-acidic pH 5.5, or the Glanzwachsshampoo Gw with wax content. Aw is the tool for cleaning, not for preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is the dry time. Detailers abroad describe Aw as „tricky to finish washing the whole car before the concentrate dries on the paint\". That's true: in direct sun, on hot metal or at outside temperatures over 25 °C, Aw runs out of headroom. Shade, cool metal and working panel by panel aren't a suggestion, they're a must. Skip that and you pick up streaks and, in the worst case, spot etching on horizontal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third limit is legal: even though Aw is phosphate- and NTA-free and supports biological process-water treatment, washing a car with shampoo on private property is banned under the German Water Resources Act. The issue isn't the surfactants but the oil, brake dust and tar residue that would run into the groundwater with the rinse water. That's why Aw is only allowed at self-service bays with an oil separator or at wash systems with a process-water loop. Fines run into five figures depending on the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to maintain an active ceramic sealant, reach for a mild maintenance shampoo from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie line\u003c\/a\u003e. If you can wash commercially or in a self-service box, Aw is the right tool. If you're parked privately in the driveway, Aw is the wrong product legally — no judgement, just the legal frame you should know before you crack the canister open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" — clean paint after the wash' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw is a concentrate for detailers and wash-system operators.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw is built for three types of user. Professional detailers who need a reliable paint pre-clean between polishing stations and sealing work, without the next week's coating layer getting attacked. Wash-system operators and fleet managers who have to cost it out at cents per vehicle and still want VDA Class A. And hobby pros with a workshop streak who work at the self-service bay or with their own lift and want one concentrate to last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw is less of a fit for the classic Sunday washer in the driveway — both practically (dry time too short, uncontrollable without shade) and legally (Water Resources Act). If you're allowed to wash privately in the driveway because your local bylaw permits it in your area, check the local rules — they aren't uniform, they differ by state and municipality. When in doubt, take the wash to a self-service bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kg canister is the entry point for professional detailers with a single site. At one hand wash of a single vehicle a week, the container lasts around four years — in practice that means the concentrate rarely runs out, it ages first. The 21 kg keg pays off from the second detailing site or at higher workload. The 210 kg container is the wash-system size for tunnels with three-digit daily throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw isn't a wow-gloss shampoo. It's the tool that preps the paint right on the mark for the next layer — whether that's a coating, a hot wax or simply clean dryness. Use Aw and put nothing on afterwards, and you're leaving performance on the table. That's pro logic: get it properly clean first, then put down exactly what you want.

Always dilute in the bottle first and start at 1:10. If that does the job, dial down to 1:20 next time. The most common mistake we see day-to-day: people run the dilution too strong and end up with white patches on dark plastics because the alkalinity has attacked the surface. Two passes at 1:10 give you a better, more even result than one pass at 1:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 on the headliner. 1:50 on the door handle.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr works as a concentrate that you dilute fresh for every job. That sets it apart from ready-mixed \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaners\u003c\/strong\u003e like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-multi-interior-cleaner-innenraumreiniger-750ml\"\u003eKoch-Chemie MultiInteriorCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, which come at a fixed strength you can't change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a nicotine-stained headliner or greyed fabric seats you work at 1:5 to 1:10. Spray it on evenly, let it dwell for 1–3 minutes, then work it in with a soft detailing brush in circles. The Mzr lifts the dirt chemically, the brush pulls it out of the fibres. After that you extract the dissolved soil with a clean microfibre or a wet vac. On headliners the wet vac is non-negotiable — too much standing moisture softens the textile glue and the headliner starts to sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyday interior cleaning — dash, centre console, door cards — 1:20 to 1:50 is enough. At that strength the Mzr is gentle enough for most hard plastics. The surface comes out clean and there's no greasy film left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight after that you can lay down a plastic dressing — the Mzr leaves no residue that would block adhesion. That's what makes it the go-to prep step before any dressing. Still: on soft-touch steering wheels and rubberised grips even the weakest dilution is a gamble. Grab a pH-neutral cleaner for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the cabin the Mzr earns its name too: workshop floors with oil stains, grimy industrial machines, weathered motorhome trim. For outdoor use go 1:5 to 1:10 and let it dwell 3–5 minutes. Hit it with a pressure washer or a brush, then rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail Koch-Chemie doesn't flag on the product page: the Mzr leaves a subtle, clean scent on the surfaces it cleans. Not an artificial air freshener — just noticeably less chemical than comparable industrial cleaners. In a smoker's car it won't mask the nicotine smell, but after the clean the cabin smells neutral instead of like cleaning chemicals. Sounds like a side-effect, but in the bay it matters when you're prepping cars for resale or hand-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1776198150\" alt=\"Headliner cleaning with diluted Koch-Chemie Mzr from an iK Multi TR 1 spray bottle in a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr lifts nicotine films. Leather, it attacks.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic dirt is the home turf of Koch-Chemie Mzr: greasy fingerprints, nicotine films, soot, ink stains and that typical grey ingrained look on light upholstery after two years of daily use. The alkaline formula handles those in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour shift from clean to dirty is instant on the Mzr — the microfibre after a wipe shows exactly what came out of the surface. Most dramatic on greyed light fabric seats: the first pass often pulls two shades of difference out. That's not a marketing line — it's the chemical effect of alkaline saponification breaking down the deep-set fat soiling that a neutral cleaner can't reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie positions the Mzr as an \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e for cars, industry and building maintenance. The pack sizes tell you the same story: the 1-litre bottle sits next to 11 kg, 21 kg and 225 kg drums. This is a workshop cleaner that also works in the car interior. That origin is where the strength comes from — the Mzr is formulated for industrial grime, and that power follows it into the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Mzr isn't the right tool: on genuine and synthetic leather with open-pore structure the alkalinity can dry out the surface and leave discolouration. Leather wants a pH-adjusted leather cleaner. On soft-touch plastics and rubberised surfaces like steering wheels or shift knobs it leaves dull patches. On painted or wrapped panels an alkaline cleaner has no business at all — even diluted 1:50, the pH still sits above 9. When you need an \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eall-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e with no risk for sensitive materials, the Koch-Chemie ASC is the safer pick — ready-mixed, pH-neutral, surface-agnostic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_ergebnis.png?v=1776196797\" alt=\"Headliner before and after cleaning with Koch-Chemie Mzr – nicotine grey on the left, deep black alcantara on the right\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne drum of Koch-Chemie Mzr. 200 litres of working solution.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Mzr pays back on yield. One litre of concentrate at 1:20 dilution gives you 21 litres of ready-to-use cleaner — enough for 15–20 full interior cleans. At €7.67 a litre that works out to under €0.50 per car. If you detail regularly, grab the 11-kg drum: at €77.75 you're at €7.07 per kilo and around 200 litres of working solution at 1:20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mzr is built for detailers, workshops and serious hobby detailers who want a concentrate over ready-mixed bottles. If you only clean the interior occasionally and don't want to mess with dilution, grab the MultiInteriorCleaner ready to use. If you want flexibility — stronger for a smoker's cabin, weaker for the weekly wipe-down — the Mzr is the cheaper bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor day-in, day-out workshop use we run a Koch-Chemie tap on the 11-kg drum: dose the concentrate into the bottle, top up with water, done. The 1-litre bottle is the one to keep for mobile work and the detailing kit. Store both frost-free between 5 and 30 °C; sealed concentrate keeps for 24 months. Use any diluted mix within four weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne safety note to finish: the Mzr is classified as corrosive (H314) and carries the signal word \"Danger\". In the concentrate, always wear gloves and safety glasses. At normal working dilutions of 1:10 to 1:20 the risk drops a lot, but you still want to avoid prolonged skin contact.

This wax component isn't meant to replace a full sealant, but between your regular care intervals it gives you a solid baseline of protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH-neutral formula for paint-friendly use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Acidic or heavily alkaline wash products attack existing wax layers and sealants and cut their lifespan short. The XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo is pH-neutral, so your existing paint protection stays intact — a big deal for anyone running a sealant or a coating who doesn't want to thin the protective layer out with every wash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly concentrated — economical dosing for plenty of washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The shampoo is a concentrate you use in small amounts per wash. That makes the 1 L bottle last for lots of wash sessions and work out far cheaper than pre-diluted ready-to-use products. For a hand wash using the bucket method, a small dose of concentrate is enough for a 10 L wash bucket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-in-1 idea for car shampoos isn't new, but how it's pulled off varies a lot. Cheap 2-in-1 products often carry so little wax that the protective effect is barely measurable. The XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\" is dialled in so the wax dose is enough to give you a real lotus effect on the paint after the wash — water pulls itself into beads and rolls off with the dirt particles instead of sheeting across the surface. That self-cleaning behaviour is the clearest proof that the 2-in-1 formula genuinely works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the best results, go with the two-bucket method: fill one bucket with your shampoo water and a second with clean rinse water. After each panel, rinse the wash mitt out in the rinse bucket before you dip it back into the shampoo water. That way the dirt particles don't build up in the shampoo water and get dragged back onto the paint. Let the shampoo dwell on the paint for a moment — 30 to 60 seconds — to loosen road film and bug residue better before you rinse. That's when the 2-in-1 formula works best: cleaning first, then the wax laying down on an already-clean surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SONAX XTREME shampoo's 2-in-1 formula — cleaning and wax care combined\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\"\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a surfactant-wax combination that works in sequence during the wash: first the surfactants lift dirt crusts, road film and organic deposits off the surface. The wax molecules ride in the same film of wash water and settle onto the clean paint once the dirt is gone. As you rinse, the surfactants wash away while the wax components stay behind on the paint and dry in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wax component in the 2-in-1 shampoo works differently from a coat of carnauba wax or a ceramic sealant: it's much thinner and less durable, but it hands you a fresh protective film right after every wash. Wash your car weekly and you build a baseline of protection over time — every wash tops the layer back up. That's a different philosophy from the one-off long-term sealant, but it's very handy for active drivers on a regular wash cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-neutral formulation is the make-or-break factor for playing nicely with existing coatings. Alkaline shampoos (pH \u0026gt; 7) act as degreasers and so go after both the dirt and your wax layers and polymer sealants. If you've got an active coating or a fresh wax sealant on the car, you need to watch for pH-neutrality in your shampoo — the XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo respects the protection that's already there while building a layer of its own alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that go through the wash tunnel and then get an occasional hand wash on top, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the ideal follow-up product: the automatic wash pulls off the heavy dirt, the hand wash with the 2-in-1 shampoo takes down the leftover grime and refreshes the paint protection. That gives you an efficient care cycle that gets by without separate wax applications. It's just as good for seasonal cars given a thorough clean after winter — a first pass with the 2-in-1 shampoo is a quick way to strip the winter grip off paint and glass and lay down fresh wax protection at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the 2-in-1 shampoo — hand wash, dosing and results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow much XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo you use comes down to water temperature and how dirty the car is. For a 10 L bucket, 30–50 ml of concentrate is usually plenty — overdosing kicks up too much foam and makes rinsing a chore. Foam itself isn't a quality marker on a car shampoo — it should be enough, but not over the top. Too much foam is a sign of overdosing and can leave a slightly cloudy residue after the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the wash, rinse the car down as completely as you can with clean water to clear off all the surfactant residue. The wax components stay on the paint through the rinse because they're hydrophobic and don't wash off with water. Once it's dry, the wax effect shows: water pulls into beads on the freshly washed paint and rolls off — a visual sign of a working wax film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDry off after the rinse with an absorbent microfibre towel. Water spots left by standing water can leave limescale behind that dulls the gloss of the fresh wax layer. A quick dry with a pro drying towel straight after the rinse heads off that limescale and shows the wash result right away: a clean, glossy car with a fresh layer of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn dirt like bug splatter on the front end or tar spots along the sills, the 2-in-1 shampoo on its own won't always cut it. In those cases it pays to pre-treat with an insect remover or tar remover before you bring in the shampoo. The shampoo then handles the final clean and lays down the protective layer. That's the smartest division of labour: dedicated cleaners for stubborn spots, shampoo for the broad surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo fits — everyday care and the regular wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-in-1 shampoo is the ideal everyday shampoo for anyone who washes regularly and wants to skip a separate waxing step. It's a great fit for cars driven under normal conditions — but not for cars with fresh ceramic coatings, where you don't want to lay down any foreign wax, since the wax component can interfere with the coating surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that get detailed at regular intervals and need to stay clean and protected between the big care appointments, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the most practical solution. It extends the lifespan of an existing sealant when it's pH-neutral, and it renews a baseline of protection on its own when there's no active sealant in place. For cars driven daily in traffic and washed weekly, the 2-in-1 principle covers the whole care need with no extra products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a good match for motorhome and camper owners too: the 1 L size travels well, the dosing is fuss-free, and the 2-in-1 principle means there's no separate wax step after the wash — handy when space and time are tight.

This two-stage approach cuts down the amount of dirt you drag around during the contact wash hugely. In summer or under direct sun, shorten the dwell time, otherwise the product dries on hot paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRich-Foam formula and foam tech — why thick foam is more than just a good look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoam in the wash often gets written off as eye candy — loads of foam looks professional, but does it actually do more? The honest answer is: yes, but not for the reasons most people think. Cleaning power comes from the surfactants in the shampoo, not the foam itself. What thick, long-clinging foam buys you is time: it keeps the surfactant-rich shampoo on the paint longer, stretches the dwell time, and lets the chemistry break down dirt better before the rinse water carries it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a formula that, dosed right in the foam lance, produces unusually dense, coherent foam. The bubbles burst slowly — the foam stays put on the paint for several minutes instead of running straight off. That's trickier to formulate than just \"lots of soap\", because the foam has to be dense enough to cling and fine enough to lay down evenly at the same time. Coarse bubbles burst fast and spread the cleaner unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone running a car with a fresh ceramic coating tends to wonder whether a foam shampoo might damage it. With pH-neutral products the answer is clear: no. Alkaline shampoos with pH \u0026gt; 9 can attack the polymer structure of ceramic coatings and wear down the hydrophobic properties over time. pH-neutral products like XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo have no chemical affinity for the Si-O bonds of ceramic coatings and leave them untouched. That matters most for cars that get a professional coating regularly and need their lifespan maxed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail worth knowing: compatibility with different foam-lance types. Foam lances for pressure washers (typically Kärcher, Nilfisk) build more foam density through the nozzle than foam attachments for garden hoses. The Rich-Foam shampoo works in both systems, but paired with a quality high-pressure foam lance it delivers its best. The concentration in the lance bottle should be varied between 1:5 and 1:10 depending on the model — a quick test on a small panel shows you fast which dose gives the best foam density for your gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're reaching for the Rich-Foam shampoo for the first time, start on a clean test panel to find the right dose for your own foam lance. Depending on water hardness, water pressure and lance model, the ideal mix ratio shifts. Too dilute and you get little foam; too concentrated and it dries early and leaves streaks. The dosing guide on the bottle is a good starting point, but a personal trial run gets you the best result for your specific kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chemistry inside XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo: it uses anionic surfactants as the main cleaning component, backed up by foam-boosting additives. Anionic surfactants have a strong affinity for oily soiling like road film, grease and bug residue — the most common kinds of dirt on car paint. The surfactant molecules wrap around dirt particles and form micelles that disperse in the water and get carried off in the rinse. That mechanism works regardless of the foam — but the longer dwell time the foam gives you lets the surfactants wrap the dirt fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing Rich-Foam shampoo right — foam lance, 2-bucket method and hand wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best approach depends on the kit you've got. With a foam lance on a pressure washer: fill the lance with shampoo diluted 1:5 to 1:10, foam the dry car from top to bottom, let it dwell 3–5 minutes, rinse off at medium pressure top to bottom. Then a normal contact wash with a fresh wash bucket and mitt. You can use the Rich-Foam shampoo for that second step too — or, for the best of both, combine it with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for the contact wash, which adds extra Si-Carbon care components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the straight 2-bucket method without a foam lance: put 30–50 ml of Rich-Foam shampoo into 10 litres of water in the wash bucket, foam it up with the pressure washer or garden spray to help build the suds. Dip the mitt into the shampoo water, wash the car panel by panel from top to bottom, and rinse the mitt in the clean-water bucket between panels (two-bucket method) so you don't carry dirt back onto the paint. The Rich-Foam shampoo throws enough foam even in a classic bucket wash for a silky-smooth glide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do seasonal washes — say the first wash after winter, when road-salt residue and thaw grime cover the underbody and wheel arches — pair the Rich-Foam shampoo with a separate underbody shampoo or engine cleaner. The Rich-Foam shampoo is built for the visible paintwork, not for scrubbing out underbody sections. Keep the jobs cleanly separated and you get the best result: Rich-Foam for the bodywork, dedicated underbody products for the rough areas underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCars with a ceramic coating or polymer sealant benefit especially from the Rich-Foam shampoo's pH-neutral formula. Alkaline shampoos used regularly can wear down a sealant's hydrophobic properties step by step — pH-neutral products keep them intact. If you wash your own car often and want a sealant to last for months, stick to pH-neutral shampoos only. The Rich-Foam shampoo is compatible with all common ceramic coatings, wax layers and polymer sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWash results and where it fits — what a Rich-Foam shampoo can do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a full Rich-Foam pre-wash and contact wash, the car comes out streak-free clean with a light wet gloss that dries down to evenly bright paint. The shampoo leaves no residue and no white streaky film — a problem some cheap shampoos throw up in hard water. The Rich-Foam shampoo is well suited to hard-water regions too, because the formulation keeps limescale settling on the paint to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavily soiled cars — lots of road salt in winter, heavy bug residue in summer, brake-dust build-up around the wheel arches — the Rich-Foam shampoo alone isn't enough. A chemical pre-treatment with an active cleaner or a bug remover before foaming is needed in those cases. The Rich-Foam shampoo then handles the pre-loosened dirt in the second step. As an all-weather base shampoo for regularly maintained cars with average everyday soiling, the Rich-Foam shampoo is completely up to the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne angle rarely discussed with car shampoos: the scent. In professional settings, strong-smelling shampoos can get wearing over a long day in enclosed spaces. XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo has a subtle, fresh smell of its own that won't bother you at work. That's a detail that makes a difference over hours of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pros in the car-wash trade, the 5-litre container is an economical setup. At a dose of 50 ml per wash (foam lance), a 5-litre container covers 100 cars. That works out to about 34 cents of product per car — an order of magnitude that's easy to budget for and barely registers in the total cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShampoo comparison — Rich-Foam vs. Foam+Seal vs. FoamGiant vs. Ceramic Active\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME shampoo range covers different needs with different products. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pure wash shampoo — maximum foam performance for a careful pre-wash, with no added sealant.

The trade-off: it leaves a light build-up film that can cause slight hazing with frequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the differences in foam tech, surface compatibility matters too. XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo is suited to painted surfaces, chrome, glass and plastic exterior parts. For wheels, a separate wheel cleaner is the way to go, since wheels usually carry more brake dust and grease than a standard shampoo can shift efficiently. The usual day-to-day call: pre-treat the wheels with wheel cleaner first, then foam the whole car with the Rich-Foam shampoo — that way the wheel grime doesn't get carried onto the bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foamgiant-shampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME FoamGiant Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e is also built for maximum foam, but optimised for pro foam lances and pressure-pot systems. Its viscosity and concentration differ slightly from the Rich-Foam shampoo, which gives different results depending on the foam-lance type. A direct comparison on your own gear gives the best answer to which product works better for your specific kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of rinsing after the foam pass deserves attention too. Rinsing the foam off fully before the contact wash matters, so the mitt works on the cleanest surface possible in the second step — not on a mix of foam and the dirt trapped in it. If you're working with hard water, a very light final rinse with deionised water at the end helps avoid limescale spots when drying. But that's about drying management after the wash, not the shampoo itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo, by contrast, has a different focus: it carries Si-Carbon tech for coating-safe care and is the shampoo of choice for ceramic-coated cars that should get a Si-Carbon top-up with every wash. If you just want to wash an uncoated car clean, the Rich-Foam shampoo has you fully covered; if you want to fold coating care into the wash, the Ceramic ActiveShampoo serves you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the SONAX Rich-Foam Shampoo is the right pick for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rich-Foam shampoo is the entry-level shampoo for anyone who wants to step up their wash routine with a foam pre-wash. If you own a pressure washer or a foam lance and want to cut out the swirl-creating moments of the contact wash, the Rich-Foam shampoo is the right product for the pre-wash step. It's easy to dose, versatile, and sits in a price bracket that's no financial hurdle even for regular users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operations cleaning customer cars regularly and caring about gentle paint care, the 5-litre container is the right size. The scalable dosing gives you the freedom to adjust shampoo concentration as needed — from a light routine wash to a heavier pre-clean ahead of a polishing pass. For home users without a pressure washer, the Rich-Foam shampoo in the 1-litre container is the way to go. With a simple foam attachment for the garden hose you can run a foam pre-wash without a pressure washer too — the foam density isn't quite as impressive, but it's enough for a far safer contact wash than going in without a pre-wash. Even on a parking lot with a single bucket and a microfibre wash mitt, the Rich-Foam shampoo works fine as a normal wash soap — you don't get the full foam benefit then, but the cleaning power and coating compatibility stay intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a verified SONAX dealer, Detailing1 keeps the XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo in both container sizes permanently in stock and recommends it as the base shampoo for any car-wash workflow that values paint-safe cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49160879702351,"sku":"D1-SNX-02483000","price":11.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49310954193231,"sku":"D1-SNX-2485000","price":34.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-RichFoam-Shampoo-Auto-Shampoo-1-Liter-1.png?v=1721514365"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo","title":"XTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEvery wash is a ceramic-protection upgrade — SONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can a car shampoo with Si-Carbon technology actually do? The Ceramic shampoo from SONAX's XTREME line lays down silicon-dioxide particles on the paint with every hand wash, building a water- and dirt-repelling ceramic protection layer as it goes — cleaning and protection in a single step.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wash your car by hand regularly, you spend a lot of time at the bucket — and you get no added protection out of it when you reach for an ordinary shampoo. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e changes that equation: the 500 ml concentrate uses Si-Carbon technology to actively build ceramic protection on paint, glass, plastic and chrome while you wash. Every wash reinforces the protective film instead of just maintaining it or stripping it back. That's the conceptual difference from classic shampoos, which neither build up a coating nor actively top up an existing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning and ceramic protection in one step.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ceramic ActiveShampoo pairs strong cleaning power with active protection build-up: while the foam pulls road grime, bug splatter and brake dust off the surface, Si-Carbon particles settle onto it.

Compared with conventional shampoos at a similar dilution, the Ceramic ActiveShampoo delivers far more for the same amount: each of those 10 washes doubles as a protection top-up that an ordinary shampoo skips entirely.\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 Ceramic ActiveShampoo does its best protection work on clean, dry paint. Always rinse heavy grime off cold before the wash — that stops loose grit from scratching the paint while you work. For maximum ceramic build-up after the wash, dry the car with an absorbent microfibre drying towel rather than letting it sheet off: drying works the Si-Carbon particles more evenly into the surface. If you want to push it even further, finish the wash with a spritz of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-quickdetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic QuickDetailer\u003c\/a\u003e on the wet paint before it dries — that doubles the protective film for no extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon technology — how the Ceramic ActiveShampoo builds ceramic protection with every wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSi-Carbon technology is the backbone of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e. The term describes a formula built on silicon-dioxide particles (SiO₂) — the same base material used in professional ceramic coatings. The difference from a classic coating lies in the size and form of the particles: professional coatings use reactive SiO₂ compounds that bond chemically with the paint and form a permanently hard protection layer. The Ceramic ActiveShampoo carries smaller Si-Carbon particles suspended in the shampoo emulsion; they physically settle on the surface during the wash and form a slick, hydrophobic protection layer as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis deposited layer is less durable than a chemically bonded coating, but it delivers fresh protection with every wash. The system is cumulative: the more regularly you wash the car with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo, the more evenly and thickly the protective film builds. Three to five washes are usually enough to get a clearly improved lotus effect and stronger beading — comparable to a mild polymer sealant. With steady weekly washing over a few months you reach a stable protection level that lasts longer between washes than bare paint would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow the Ceramic ActiveShampoo gets on with different surfaces matters in practice. Si-Carbon technology is designed for paint-pH compatibility — the shampoo sits in the neutral to slightly alkaline range, which suits all common automotive paints. For coated surfaces it's crucial that the shampoo carries no aggressive surfactants that would strip a coating: the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is built exactly for that — gentle enough to preserve a coating, strong enough to lift road grime. On glass, the silicon-dioxide layer also feeds the lotus effect and helps water clear the windscreen faster in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne common misunderstanding about Si-Carbon technology: the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is no substitute for a professional ceramic coating. It can neither replicate nor replace the chemically bonded, long-term protection of a two-year coating. Its strength lies in a different concept: regular, no-fuss protection with every wash — no separate sealing step, no cure time, no special kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Ceramic ActiveShampoo — dosing, foam and the right sequence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the Ceramic ActiveShampoo right starts with the dose: 50 ml of concentrate to 10 litres of warm water. That mix gives you enough foam for a mid-sized car and enough Si-Carbon particles for an even protection build-up. Skimping on shampoo saves product, sure, but it also drops the concentration of active ceramic particles and with it the protection — under-dosing is the most common mistake people make with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended sequence: first pre-rinse the car with clean cold water to lift heavy dirt and sand grains. Then, with your mixed Ceramic ActiveShampoo and a wash mitt (lambswool or microfibre), work top to bottom — roof, windows, bonnet, sides, then sills and bumpers last. For heavily soiled areas like sills and wheel arches, keep a separate bucket of fresh shampoo solution so grit from the arches doesn't get dragged onto the paint (two-bucket method). After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water until no shampoo is left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying matters more with this product than with a classic shampoo: because the Si-Carbon particles stay behind on the surface as the water film evaporates, even drying is key to an even protective film. A quality microfibre drying towel with enough absorbency (at least 400 g\/m²) makes sure no water spots form that could disturb how the particles are spread. Never just let the car sheet off and air-dry after the wash if you want maximum protection — running water pulls the Si-Carbon particles into rivulets and spreads them unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic ActiveShampoo is strictly for hand washing — not for machine washes or the pressure washer. The heavy foaming would cause trouble in automatic wash lines; on top of that, physical application by wash mitt is needed to rub the Si-Carbon particles across the surface and work them in properly. The brushes in a drive-through wash don't give you that — the even contact pressure of the mitt is what makes the protection build up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic protection through washing — beading, durability and compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most noticeable result after washing with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the changed beading. You feel the difference on bare paint after the very first wash: water beads and clears faster, the contact angles between the droplets and the paint grow, and the lotus effect is clearly stronger than after a wash with a non-protecting shampoo. Every further wash intensifies the effect until it reaches a stable plateau — typically after three to five washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow long the protective film lasts between washes depends heavily on conditions. In normal city use (garage or carport parking, average rain exposure) the built-up film holds for two to four weeks at a level well above bare paint. With hard mileage, motorway runs that throw up bugs and stone chips, or salt exposure in winter, the film weathers faster — which makes the regular wash, the one that builds and renews protection automatically, all the more important. In that sense the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is a system: not a one-off treatment but a routine product that earns its protection through regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn glass — windscreen, side windows, tailgate — Si-Carbon technology shows a particularly handy side effect: at speeds from 60 km\/h water clears far faster, because the silicon-dioxide layer raises the contact angle between water and glass. Wash the car regularly with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo and you get better rain run-off on the glass too, with no separate glass sealant. The effect on glass is smaller than with a dedicated glass sealant, but for everyday drivers doing quick washes it's a welcome bonus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially relevant for owners with existing coatings: the Ceramic ActiveShampoo won't attack hard waxes, polymer sealants or chemically bonded ceramic coatings. You can run it as a wash-maintenance shampoo on coated cars without a second thought. The Si-Carbon particles settle on the existing coating and boost its hydrophobicity between the regular refreshes. If you run a professional ceramic coating and keep it topped up, you can slot the Ceramic ActiveShampoo into the maintenance workflow as your everyday wash — no fear of compromising the pricier coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic ActiveShampoo compared — vs. ordinary shampoo and vs. foam sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a classic shampoo with no protection components, the primary value of the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is clear: an ordinary shampoo cleans and rinses — nothing more. It builds no protection, keeps no protection, and can even knock it back a little when its surfactants temporarily change the paint's surface energy. The 500 ml Ceramic ActiveShampoo costs a bit more than a plain shampoo, but it delivers active protection at the same time. On a price-per-wash basis (about 10 washes from 500 ml) the extra cost per wash is small and the added value substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-schaumversiegelung-autoshampoo-versiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal \"foam sealant\"\u003c\/a\u003e there are clear positioning differences: Foam+Seal is also a shampoo with a protection component, but it leans harder into the sealing side — it carries polymer waxes that build a thicker, more hydrophobic layer per application, though it also needs a cleaner surface for the foam to key to.

For this group the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the most efficient protection product for the effort and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners with existing ceramic coatings the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the recommended pick for wash-maintenance between the yearly coating refreshes. Because the shampoo carries no aggressive surfactants and actively feeds the coating with Si-Carbon particles, regular use noticeably extends the coating's lifespan and how well it holds up. A combo of weekly washing with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo and a monthly refresh with the SONAX XTREME Ceramic QuickDetailer keeps the coating in top shape long-term, with no pricey pro applications between the regular service intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor new-car owners the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is an ideal way into structured paint protection: start out washing with a shampoo that actively builds protection and you end up, over the long run, with paint in better shape than someone who only starts protecting years later — by which point the surface has already oxidised deeper.\n\nWhere the Ceramic ActiveShampoo is less suited: cars washed only in automatic wash lines, and situations where the car is polished or freshly coated right after the wash — there a residue-free shampoo with no protection components is the better fit.

The micro-active surfactants need water as a carrier to bring out the full cleaning effect. Work it in with a very soft wash mitt or a dedicated wrap wash cloth — coarse-textured sponges are wrong for film. With stubborn bug splatter it helps to let the cleaner dwell for a moment (30–60 seconds) before you work it in. After the wash, rinse thoroughly and don't let it dry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMicro-active surfactant technology — how the film cleaner lifts dirt without damaging the wrap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the XTREME Film Cleaner's performance is the choice of surfactant blend. Surfactants are the cleaning-active molecules in detergents and cleaners — they have a water-loving (hydrophilic) and a fat-loving (hydrophobic) end, which lets them lift dirt and grease off the surface and hold it suspended in the water. With film cleaners, though, it's not just about lifting dirt — it's about doing that without damaging the film coating. That's a tougher job than cleaning a clear coat, because film reacts more sensitively to chemistry: solvents can soften wrap adhesive, acids attack matte surfaces and shift their reflectance, and the wrong pH can loosen adhesive seams. The micro-active surfactant blend in the XTREME Film Cleaner is tuned for these demands: the molecular structure is chosen to clean hard without reacting with the film materials themselves. In practice that means no dulling of gloss wraps, no dissolving of adhesive seams and no early lifting at edges and overlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"micro-active\" describes the especially fine distribution of the surfactant molecules in the formulation. Thanks to the small molecule size, the surfactants reach deep into layers of dirt and dissolve even dried-on bug splatter and baked-on bird droppings without any mechanical force. That matters a lot with film: hard rubbing and scrubbing — the kind a clear coat might tolerate — can put fine scratches into film or permanently strain the self-healing effect on PPF. Gentle chemistry replaces mechanical force — that's the principle film cleaning is built on. Another upside of the solvent-free formulation: the product is suited to enclosed spaces and wash setups with limited ventilation, without exceeding VOC limits (volatile organic compounds). For pro detailers working in indoor spaces, that's a relevant factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte paint and matte wraps put special demands on cleaning chemistry. The matte look comes from a micro-structured surface that scatters incoming light diffusely instead of reflecting it. Any chemical compound that alters that micro-structure — by softening, filling or reacting — changes the level of matteness and creates uneven gloss patches. That's why wax-based products and silicon-based sealants are wrong for matte wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner contains no wax-like components and doesn't touch the surface structure — it cleans residue-free without changing the matte character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the XTREME Film Cleaner properly — the ideal wash workflow for wrapped cars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wrapped car needs a different wash workflow than a painted one. The most important ground rule: always start with a pre-wash step that rinses off loose dirt before any cloth or mitt touches the surface. Dry sand, brake dust or coarse dirt particles dragged across the wrap create micro-scratches — especially obvious on matte wraps, and impossible to undo. A pressure washer held 20–30 cm away is ideal for the pre-rinse; a strong hose will also do to loosen loose dirt. Only after that pre-rinse does the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e come into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse during the wash is deliberately simple: turn the nozzle to spray, lay the cleaner on generously over the wet film, let it dwell briefly and work it in evenly with a soft wrap wash cloth or microfibre mitt. The key is to always work flat and with light pressure — no circular motions, no force on stubborn spots. If bug splatter or bird droppings don't soften right away, give it a bit more dwell time rather than more pressure. Once it's worked in, rinse off completely. The product mustn't dry on — on hot surfaces or in direct sun it can leave residue that's hard to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical workflow for a fully wrapped car looks like this: pre-rinse with a pressure washer or strong jet, then pre-wash the roof, boot and sides with XTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo or a wrap-safe shampoo, and in parallel treat the dirtiest areas — front bumper, bonnet, side skirts — directly with the XTREME Film Cleaner. The combination of shampoo for the base clean and the special cleaner for problem spots is especially effective on wrapped cars, because the micro-active surfactant formula cuts through the stubborn organic soiling (bugs, bird droppings) far harder than a regular shampoo. After the wash, for the best finish the car should get a follow-up with a wrap-safe detailer — for example the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foliendetailer-quick-detailer-folieru\"\u003eXTREME Film Detailer Quick Detailer for Wraps\u003c\/a\u003e, which brings gloss and beading to the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works — PPF, vinyl, matte paint and everything in between\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world of wraps is a varied one, and the XTREME Film Cleaner is built for the whole spectrum. PPF (paint protection film) is the most technically demanding wrap variant: these clear protective films have a self-healing polyurethane surface and react sensitively to alcohol- and solvent-based cleaners, which can permanently damage the self-healing effect. The XTREME Film Cleaner's solvent-free formulation is explicitly safe for PPF — it cleans the surface without penetrating the polyurethane structure. Vinyl wraps are the most common material for full wraps and partial graphics. They're tougher than PPF, but still acid- and solvent-sensitive. Extra care is needed with clear and light-coloured vinyl wraps, which show discolouration from the wrong chemistry far more clearly than dark colours. Here too, the XTREME Film Cleaner formulation is built for material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory matte paint is another category that needs special care. Manufacturers like BMW, Porsche and Audi have offered matte paint as a special finish for years — and it's extremely care-intensive. Regular waxes and polishes are off the table, because they change the matte structure. The XTREME Film Cleaner can be used on these factory matte finishes without a second thought, since it's free of wax-like components and doesn't alter the paint's micro-structure. Another use case is partial graphics — cars where only certain areas are wrapped (mirrors, roof rails, spoiler lips, A-pillars). Here the cleaner has to work both on the wrapped area and on the adjacent clear coat without leaving visible transitions. The cleaner's wrap-safe chemistry works fine on clear coat too, which makes partial graphics especially easy to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the trade as well — at wrap shops and detailers — the cleaner is suited to the final clean after a fresh wrap. After a new wrap there are adhesive residues, fingerprints and positioning marks left on the film that need removing. The XTREME Film Cleaner lifts these residues gently, without straining a wrap that's only a few days old and whose adhesive is still fully bonding with the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFilm cleaner compared — special cleaner vs. regular shampoo vs. pro care with a ceramic coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common question when buying a film cleaner: won't a regular car shampoo do the job too? The answer depends on the wrap type and how dirty it is. For moderately soiled wraps with a light dust film and water spots, a pH-neutral shampoo is perfectly fine. But the moment bug splatter, baked-on bird droppings or brake-dust film are on the film, a regular shampoo hits its limits — it simply doesn't have the cleaning power to lift these protein-based and iron-laden deposits. The XTREME Film Cleaner is the far more effective tool in exactly these situations. It lifts where a shampoo only wipes. The alternative — rubbing longer and harder with the shampoo — is a poor option on film, because mechanical strain does more harm than a stronger cleaner. When you have the choice between more chemistry and more mechanics on film, always go for the chemical route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with a universal car-care cleaner reveals another difference: a lot of all-rounders contain wax components, silicones or polymers that bring gloss to painted cars but leave unwanted marks or gloss patches on matte wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner has none of these additives — it cleans residue-free and leaves the sealing to a separate care product you can then pick specifically for the wrap type. After cleaning with the XTREME Film Cleaner you can apply the XTREME Film Detailer on gloss wraps; for pro long-term protection on PPF and vinyl, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-vinyl-ppf-folien\"\u003ePROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Vinyl+PPF Film Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e with up to 24 months of durability is the way to go. This combination — XTREME Film Cleaner for regular cleaning, ceramic coating for long-term protection — is the most professional approach to wrap care and maximises both the finish and the durability of the wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of comparison is the hand wash vs. the automatic car wash. As a rule, wrapped cars should never be cleaned in automatic gantry washes — the brushes can damage film, and the cleaners used there are tuned for clear-coat surfaces, not for wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for the manual hand wash and fully replaces the car-wash visit for wrapped cars. Wash your car by hand regularly with the right cleaner and you'll get an optimal result over the long haul and avoid the typical wash damage that happens in automatic setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying advice — who the XTREME Film Cleaner is the first choice for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is the baseline kit for every wrapped car — a must, not a nice-to-have. If you own a wrapped car and wash it with regular car-care products, you risk damage over time that's expensive to fix: lightened matte areas, swollen wrap edges, adhesive residue under the film. A dedicated film cleaner costs a few euros and protects an investment that, depending on the wrap, runs from a few hundred to several thousand euros. The value for money is excellent: a 750 ml bottle lasts for plenty of washes with sparing dosing, since the cleaner is only used concentrated on the dirtiest spots, while a regular wrap-safe shampoo handles the larger areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of cars with PPF, the cleaner is especially important, because wrong care can permanently impair PPF's self-healing properties. PPF wraps quickly cost 3,000 to 6,000 euros or more for a full wrap — a care outlay of 10 euros per cleaner is an absolutely justified investment in protecting that value here. For businesses — wrap shops, car detailers, dealers with a wrapped fleet — the XTREME Film Cleaner is a working tool used daily that quickly proves itself. The simple spray application straight into the wash saves time over multi-stage cleaning processes and delivers consistent results. For the best overall result, it pays to use the film cleaner as part of a complete wrap-care workflow: pre-rinse, XTREME Film Cleaner for problem spots, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for the base clean, drying with a suitable drying towel and finishing care with the XTREME Film Detailer. This workflow keeps a wrapped car in optimal condition for the long term and protects the wrap over its entire lifespan. At Detailing1 the XTREME Film Cleaner is available together with the right wrap-care accessories — from the right brush to wash cloths through to the follow-up sealant for pro long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160886911311,"sku":"D1-SNX-03994000","price":7.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-FolienReiniger-Spezialreiniger-fur-Fo-8.png?v=1721514236"},{"product_id":"carpro-descale-acidic-car-shampoo-anti-kalk-autoshampoo","title":"\"Descale\" Acidic Car Shampoo Anti-Limescale Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCarPro Descale Acidic Car Shampoo — anti-limescale wash\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarPro Descale is an \u003cstrong\u003eacidic car shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e built to cut through stubborn dirt and limescale.

This gives the sealing component time to deposit evenly on the paint surface. Then rinse thoroughly — standing soap residues interfere with the even buildup of the protective layer. For optimal results, dry the vehicle immediately after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealing Shampoo Technology — how washing and sealing work together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept behind \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal\u003c\/strong\u003e initially sounds like a contradiction: a shampoo cleans — and in doing so, cleans away what is on the paint. How can it simultaneously build up a protective layer? The answer lies in the formulation. The sealing shampoo contains two active ingredient complexes: a surfactant-based cleaning block that loosens and emulsifies dirt, and a polymer protective component that deposits on contact with the paint — independently of the cleaning process. Dirt and protective polymer adhere to different surfaces and do not interfere with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam is the carrier system for both components. It distributes both the cleaning surfactants and the sealing polymers evenly over the vehicle surface — even in areas that the wash mitt does not reach, such as deep in door handles, spoiler edges, or gap areas. After rinsing, the surfactants are washed away by the water; the sealing polymers adhere to the paint and form a thin, even protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis protective layer is not comparable to a complete polymer sealant or a ceramic coating — the layer thickness is thinner and the durability is correspondingly shorter. What Foam+Seal does is to regularly refresh the protective effect: If you treat the vehicle every second or third wash with Foam+Seal, you maintain a continuous basic sealant on the paint that withstands weathering, dirt deposits, and UV light significantly better than an unprotected paint finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoam+Seal is particularly interesting for vehicles that are already sealed with a coating. Many coating manufacturers recommend specific maintenance shampoos that do not overlay the coating surface with wax. Foam+Seal contains no carnauba wax components that could negatively affect coatings — it is a pure polymer maintenance product and therefore coating-compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage over separate products: Those who previously washed separately and then re-sealed with a spray wax or quick detailer save the second step with Foam+Seal. The time saving per wash is small — perhaps 10–15 minutes — but over a year, this is a noticeable relief in vehicle care, without sacrificing protective effect. This makes the product particularly attractive for vehicle owners who wash consistently but do not want to deal intensively with detailing products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Foam+Seal correctly — foam lance, foam sprayer and optimal dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, application via a foam lance on a high-pressure cleaner is suitable. Fill the concentrate into the reservoir according to the manufacturer's instructions, spray the vehicle completely with foam, and let it dwell for 3–5 minutes. Then work with a soft wash mitt or sponge — the foam in the mitt reduces friction and protects the paint. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand foam sprayer is the alternative without a high-pressure cleaner. It generates fine foam that is applied directly to the vehicle and worked in with a mitt. The cleaning performance is comparable; the foam carpet is slightly less dense than with a foam lance, but for the sealing effect, this is irrelevant — the polymers deposit regardless of foam density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want maximum sealing effect, you can briefly rinse the vehicle with clear water after washing and dry it immediately with a nanofiber drying towel — without post-treatment. The protective layer is already on the paint at this point. Drying activates the sealing polymers and ensures even distribution. A vehicle that simply air-dries after a Foam+Seal wash already shows the beading effect during drying: water contracts into drops instead of standing flat on the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding application temperature: As with all sealing products, the vehicle should not be treated when it is too hot or when it is freezing. The optimal application temperature is between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. At hot outdoor temperatures or in direct sunlight, the foam dries too quickly — the polymers then deposit unevenly. Choose the shade or the cooler hours of the day for best results. In freezing temperatures, the product should not be used, as the polymers will not cure correctly at low temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical question about yield: How many washes does one bottle provide? This depends on the vehicle size and equipment configuration. As a guideline: with normal dosage for a foam lance, a standard bottle is sufficient for well over ten complete vehicle washes — economical enough to use Foam+Seal as a regular everyday shampoo, without having to think about the costs every time you wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading effect and protective action — what Foam+Seal delivers in practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who use a sealing shampoo like Foam+Seal for the first time often notice an immediate visible beading effect after washing. Water beads off the paint in small spheres — the lotus effect of the applied polymer protective layer is noticeable directly after the first wash. This effect is initially moderate and builds up with regular use over several washes: those who consistently use Foam+Seal accumulate a thicker polymer layer on the paint over time, which creates an increasingly strong beading effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drying formula is a detail that makes more of a difference in everyday life than expected. Who doesn't know the problem: vehicle washed, now comes the drying — ten minutes with the drying towel until all surfaces are dry and streak-free. With the deposited sealant layer and the accelerated drying formula, water runs off faster; less water film remains on the paint and drying with the drying towel takes significantly less time. A small detail, but those who wash regularly appreciate every time advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: Foam+Seal is not a substitute for a full polymer sealant or a ceramic coating. The protective layer that the shampoo builds up with each wash is thin and lasts between washes under normal conditions. If you are looking for long-lasting protection that lasts for months or longer, you need a dedicated sealant. Foam+Seal is the right product for maintenance between full sealant applications — it maintains the protection that a base sealant has built up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misunderstanding: If the beading diminishes after a few weeks without washing, it does not mean that the protective effect is gone. The thin polymer layer is still present, but it is reduced by dirt, water spots, and UV exposure. Another wash with Foam+Seal immediately brings back the beading effect because new polymers are applied to the cleaned surface. This is the difference from \"wearing out\" a full sealant: Foam+Seal is reapplied with each wash and thus builds itself up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSealing shampoo comparison — Foam+Seal, Reload Shampoo and Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME portfolio offers several shampoos with additional protective functions. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-reload-shampoo-versiegelungsshampoo\"\u003ePROFILINE Reload Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e is a sealing shampoo from the PROFILINE series and is aimed at professional users who are looking for a stronger sealing component in the shampoo — it complements professional coatings and is designed for long durability. Foam+Seal, on the other hand, is more broadly accessible and designed for the average car owner who wants to build up protection easily and without extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e contains ceramic active ingredients and is particularly suitable for vehicles with existing ceramic coatings — it activates and complements the ceramic surface with every wash. Foam+Seal uses polymeric active ingredients without ceramic content and is therefore the more universally applicable product — also for non-ceramic sealed vehicles or vehicles without an existing sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with a fresh ceramic sealant, we recommend the Ceramic Active-Shampoo for maintenance use. For all other vehicles — unsealed, wax-sealed or polymer-sealed — Foam+Seal is the most effective and easiest way to build and maintain protection with every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother comparable product from a different product category are classic spray waxes, which are applied to the still-wet vehicle after washing. These often produce a slightly stronger shine effect and a thicker protective layer per application — but they require an additional step and an additional product. Foam+Seal makes exactly that superfluous. Those who choose between spray wax after washing and Foam+Seal as a washing shampoo essentially decide for or against the extra effort. Both variants are valid — Foam+Seal is the more convenient, spray wax potentially the more intensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Sealing Shampoo — for whom is SONAX XTREME Foam+Seal worthwhile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal is ideal for vehicle owners who want to make their car care as efficient as possible: washing and protecting at the same time, without planning a separate sealing step. The product is particularly useful for drivers who wash their vehicle weekly or every two weeks — the cumulative effect of the polymers becomes significantly better with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles without an existing full sealant, Foam+Seal is an easy introduction to sealant care: no polishing machine needed, no elaborate coating, no curing times. Simply use it during normal washing and build up a basic protective layer with each application. The result is not comparable to a high-quality ceramic coating — but it is significantly better than no protection at all, with the least possible additional effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor new cars or freshly polished vehicles, Foam+Seal is an excellent way to protect the good condition of the paint from the start, without carrying out an elaborate sealing treatment. New paints do not yet have ingrained damage and benefit immediately from protection against UV radiation, bird droppings, and industrial fallout, which attack the surface with regular use. With consistent Foam+Seal use, the paint remains in a condition that, even after years, is significantly better than that of a completely unprotected vehicle with the same mileage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensible workflow: Use Foam+Seal as a regular washing shampoo, supplementing it every two to three months with a more complete protective treatment — such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-sprayversiegelung-spruehversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Spray Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e after washing or a quick coating. Foam+Seal maintains the basic protective layer; the supplementary treatment strengthens the protective effect at regular intervals. This is a practical, inexpensive, and effective alternative to expensive full sealants for anyone who wants to permanently protect their paint but doesn't want to polish and seal every weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, for those who want the best of both worlds — consistent protection buildup through regular washing, supplemented by occasional full sealing — Foam+Seal as an everyday shampoo provides a reliable base. The combination of washing and protecting in one step saves time, money, and effort, without reducing the protective effect to zero. For this application, Foam+Seal is the practical sealing principle: always a little better, with every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sealing shampoo is therefore one of the most sensible decisions for anyone who wants to achieve a lasting difference in the protection status of their vehicle with a single change in the washing workflow — away from normal shampoo, towards sealing shampoo. No additional product, no additional step, no learning curve. Simply replace the previous shampoo and start building in protection from the first wash. This makes Foam+Seal one of the most valuable everyday products in the detailing portfolio — not because it is the strongest product, but because it is the most consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinal recommendation: Start with a thorough basic cleaning of the vehicle before using Foam+Seal for the first time — on a cleanly degreased paint, the sealing polymers will deposit more evenly and with stronger adhesion than on a paint burdened with residues. Anyone who thoroughly degreases and cleans their vehicle before the first Foam+Seal application starts with an optimal basis for continuous protection. After just the first three to four washes with Foam+Seal, you will see the difference: a beading effect that builds up, water that drains off faster, and a paint that looks significantly fresher and cleaner after rain than before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49352717107535,"sku":"D1-SNX-251300","price":10.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-autoshampoo-versiegelung_1000ml.png?v=1721676692"},{"product_id":"nap-care-car-clean-autoshampoo-versiegelung","title":"\"CAR-CLEAN\" Car Shampoo with Sealant","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltimate Car Shampoo with Sealant: NAP Care \"CAR-CLEAN\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNAP Care \"CAR-CLEAN\"\u003c\/strong\u003e car shampoo is the perfect solution for a thorough and gentle cleaning of your vehicle.

The SiO₂ component is still wet on the paint right after the rinse — it needs the mechanical pressure of a soft drying towel to spread evenly and bond. Without that wipe step you get water spots instead of gloss. So plan an extra 5–10 minutes for a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soft99-max-wash-4pockets-trockenhandtuch\"\u003elarge microfibre drying towel\u003c\/a\u003e and work section by section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-rinsed. Two buckets. One layer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces gives its best result with the two-bucket method: a wash bucket with 50 ml of Ces to 10 l of warm water, a separate rinse bucket with clean water, and a high-pile \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-microfaser-handschuh-set-oktopus-waschhandschuh\"\u003emicrofibre wash mitt\u003c\/a\u003e. The second bucket keeps the dirt out of the wash bucket — that protects the paint from wash marks and makes sure every section gets worked with a clean foam concentration. Skip the second bucket and you drag the coarsest dirt particles over the paint again and again, picking up the swirls the Ces can no longer level out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways pre-rinse before the shampoo. A pressure washer or garden hose flushes off loose sand and road salt. Skip it and you drag the coarse particles across the paint with the mitt and pick up micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith heavy soiling or a layer of bugs, run a pre-cleaner as snow foam first, otherwise the Ces works past its care component. Cars with baked-on pollen or Saharan dust need that pre-clean, no way around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways work on shaded, cool paint — not in the sun, not on a warm bonnet. Otherwise the foam dries on, leaves water spots, and the sealant effect builds up unevenly. Top to bottom, section by section, rinse each section on its own — the polymer film only forms during the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the key difference from pure cleaning shampoos: with those it doesn't matter how long the foam sits on the paint, with the Ces the result stands or falls on rinsing each section quickly. Foam the whole car and rinse only at the end, and you give away most of the sealant effect and get nothing but a standard cleaning result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne last thing to dial in is the water temperature. Lukewarm water between 25 and 35 °C activates the SiO₂ component better than cold tap water, the foam builds faster and the care film bonds more evenly. With ice-cold water in winter the paint does feel clean after the wash, but the full hydrophobic potential goes unused — better to mix in a bucket of hot water until the mix is hand-warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_anwendung.png?v=1778625630\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant two-bucket-w loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA care booster with clear limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces is Detailing1's first pick as a maintenance shampoo for cars that are already coated — not as a sealant replacement. If you've never laid down a coating, the Ces still gives you a real, visible hydrophobic effect. If you already run a ceramic coating, every wash extends its lifespan by a few weeks, because the SiO₂ care component feeds the original sealant instead of degrading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe day-to-day reports are strong: on freshly waxed or coated paint the first wash brings a noticeably richer depth of gloss, with water beading off in 3–5 mm drops. Verified buyers at Trusted Shops regularly mention a visible beading effect and a pleasant berry-almond scent — a rarity from a pro-grade maker like Koch-Chemie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHonest about the limits: on unwaxed, uncoated paint the sealant effect lasts about 2–4 weeks, depending on the weather. In constant rain or with road salt in winter, shorter. If you want a permanent coating with 12+ months of lifespan, there's no getting around a proper ceramic coating. If you want to maintain and refresh in between, the Ces is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already have an older coating that's slowly getting tired, reach for the specialised \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs-auto-shampoo-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e — it reactivates the SiO₂ bond more deliberately than the Ces. And if you're washing the car right before applying a coating, don't reach for the Ces: the polymer film gets in the way of the new sealant bonding. For that, a neutral prep shampoo with no care component is the right choice, otherwise the prep work was for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_ergebnis.png?v=1778625636\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant beading effect on paint loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Ces pays off for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces is the right call for car owners who wash every 1–2 weeks, want a clean finish, but don't want to wax or coat on a regular basis. You put in 20–30 minutes per wash and get a result that comes surprisingly close to a heavily polished show car — without the polishing step. Especially relevant for high-mileage city drivers, commuters with an underground parking spot, and anyone with a coated car who wants to actively extend its lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess suited is the Ces for workshops and detailers where pure cleaning power is the priority. For that, the Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche AW is the stronger pick, because the Ces hits its limits faster with deeply worked-in brake dust and bug splatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete wash workflow for this crowd it looks like this: pre-rinse with a pressure washer, snow foam for the pre-clean if needed, then a two-bucket wash with the Ces. After that, take it off section by section with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soft99-max-wash-4pockets-trockenhandtuch\"\u003eSoft99 Max Wash drying towel\u003c\/a\u003e — no air-drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the 1L versions, Detailing1 also offers the bundle with a dosing cap — it saves time on the weekly wash and prevents over-dosing. That's the most common mistake with the Ces day-to-day: more shampoo doesn't get you a better effect, just double the consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor high-mileage drivers and multi-car households, the 5L container pays off after roughly 80 washes, because the per-litre price there runs about 30% below the 1L bottle. Wash weekly and it lasts you a good two years, with the extra cost earned back inside half a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne last Detailing1 insight for this crowd: the Ces gets better over time. On the first run on unwaxed paint the hydrophobic effect is visible but moderate. From the third or fourth wash a denser polymer film layers on, coat by coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly water beads off in a normal summer rain as if the car had just been given a spray sealant. That's the point where most buyers switch to the Ces and never give it up — no miracle worker the first time, but a reliable build-up effect across the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_lineup_8212300c-f401-47e5-ba76-e085ed4a6ee6.png?v=1778657751\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant litre and loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49670904578383,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001","price":27.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Dosing Cap","offer_id":54599151452495,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001+9998149","price":32.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904611151,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_2","price":55.78,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904643919,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_3","price":83.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49670904676687,"sku":"D1-KCX-811005","price":122.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_d86bb773-4597-45d8-ad20-b521d3e869a4.png?v=1778623457"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-rapid-rinseless-wash-rrw-waschen-ohne-abspuehlen","title":"Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\" — Rinseless Car Wash","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRinseless washing with Koch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet a fast, proper clean with the \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\".\u003c\/strong\u003e This clever wash lets you clean your car top to bottom without rinsing off afterwards.

One concentrate, lots of uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlkaline formula reliably breaks down organic contaminants.\u003c\/strong\u003e The MultiStar's alkaline surfactant formula is tuned to dissolve organic grime: grease, oils, brake dust, tyre rubber and general vehicle dirt are loosened and made water-soluble by the combination of an alkaline pH and active surfactants. The formula plays nicely with most common vehicle surfaces — paint, plastic, rubber, metal and textile all respond well to the cleaner when you dilute it properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk containers up to 200 litres for cost-effective pro use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Container sizes run from 1 litre for small businesses and occasional users up to 200-litre drums for large operations and wash bays. The price per litre drops sharply as the container gets bigger, which makes the MultiStar especially appealing for businesses burning through large amounts of cleaner every day. The concentrate approach also cuts transport weight and storage space considerably compared with ready-to-use cleaners.\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 For effective use we'd keep the MultiStar ready in labelled spray bottles at different dilutions — e.g. 1:10 for engine bay and wheels, 1:30 for general exterior cleaning, 1:50 for the interior. That way the right strength is always within reach without mixing fresh every time. Don't use it on paint in direct sun or on a very hot surface — alkaline cleaners drying off fast can leave streaks. For acid-resistant grime (limescale, mineral deposits) the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-acid-kraftreiniger-sauer\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Acid\u003c\/a\u003e is the better call, since alkaline cleaners can't drive the acidic dissolving reactions. Always rinse thoroughly to pull off any cleaner residue — especially on paint and rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate technology — why dilution is what makes the MultiStar so flexible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate approach of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a decisive economic and logistical edge over ready-to-use cleaners: the cleaning agents (surfactants, alkalis, builders) ship in highly concentrated form and only get diluted with water at the point of use. That means a 1-litre concentrate container holds the cleaning power for 50–100 litres of ready-to-use cleaner — a 1-litre tub of concentrate cleans as much as a 50-litre tub of ready-to-use cleaner, but carries only a fraction of the weight and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiStar's alkaline action rests on two mechanisms: first, the alkaline pH (typically pH 9–11 in the concentrate) raises the solubility of organic fat molecules — in an alkaline environment, fats and oils are saponified, which makes them water-soluble and easier to wipe off. Second, the surfactants wrap soil particles through micelle formation and suspend them in the watery cleaning solution, so they get carried off with the water when you rinse. This combination is very effective against most organic vehicle grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dilution flexibility lets you use the same base cleaner for very different cleaning strengths: in the engine bay, where stubborn oil and grease come off hard, heat-resistant surfaces, a strong concentration (1:5) is right and the surfaces handle the higher alkalinity. For the cabin, where delicate plastics, textiles and Alcantara get treated, a strong dilution (1:50 or more) is needed to avoid surface damage. Getting the ratio right is the key skill — too diluted and the cleaner doesn't bite; too little diluted and it can attack surfaces or leave residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses running the MultiStar through foam lances or pressure washers, foaming behaviour matters: at the right dilution and used in snow-foam pre-wash mode, the MultiStar foams evenly and clings, which extends dwell time on dirty surfaces and improves the cleaning result. You can tune the foam consistency through the dilution and the right foam-lance nozzles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the MultiStar right — dilution ratios for every job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the MultiStar concentrate starts with the right dilution rate for the job at hand. For engine washing and heavy exterior grime: dilution 1:5 to 1:10 (10–20 % concentrate) — spray straight onto the dirty surface, let it dwell 2–3 minutes without drying off, then rinse with water. For wheel cleaning and underbody washing: dilution 1:10 to 1:20 (5–10 % concentrate) — same kind of application as the engine wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general vehicle cleaning and pre-cleaning: dilution 1:20 to 1:50 (2–5 % concentrate) — suited as a foam-lance pre-cleaner or for hand washing with the sponge. This dilution is gentle on paint and plastic surfaces and leaves no damaging alkali residue. For interior cleaning and textiles: dilution 1:50 to 1:100 (1–2 % concentrate) — extra gentle on delicate surfaces; always test on an inconspicuous spot before going over Alcantara or sensitive coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey application notes: always dilute the MultiStar fresh and don't store diluted solutions in spray bottles for long, since diluted alkaline solutions lose strength over time and can go off through microbial growth. When working with undiluted concentrate, watch your skin and eye protection — highly concentrated alkaline solutions can cause skin irritation. Keep the concentrate itself in dry, cool storage — undiluted and stored right, the concentrate stays stable for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the MultiStar fits — when the all-purpose cleaner is the most efficient choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is especially efficient in businesses that want to cover a broad range of cleaning jobs with a single product. Detailing businesses with mixed vehicle types (cars, vans, trucks) value the flexibility: one concentrate unit can handle the van's engine bay, the car's interior clean and the truck's pre-clean — each at the right dilution. Stock keeping gets simpler, ordering gets leaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleet carers and fleet managers on regular cleaning cycles get the most out of the bulk containers: the 25-litre or 60-litre container keeps supply steady without frequent reorders, and the cheaper per-unit pricing on bulk cuts the cleaning cost per vehicle. The 200-litre drum is built for central cleaning installations where the cleaner feeds straight into machines or foam generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with specialised cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-alkaline-vorreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Alkaline\u003c\/a\u003e — developed as an optimised pre-cleaner for cold-foam pre-washing — the MultiStar offers a wider dilution range and more uses, but in turn less specialisation on the pre-wash side. If you only do pre-washing, you're better served by the MultiClean Alkaline; if you want a single cleaner for every job, the MultiStar concentrate has you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MultiStar compared — all-purpose cleaner vs. specialist cleaner in the pro shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether an all-purpose cleaner concentrate like the MultiStar or a range of specialist cleaners is the better call comes down to how the business is set up. An all-purpose cleaner brings simplicity, savings through bulk and flexibility — ideal for smaller to mid-sized operations that don't want to cover every cleaning job with a dedicated product. For especially demanding jobs (limescale removal → acidic cleaner, wheels heavily loaded with iron particles → dedicated wheel cleaner, sensitive displays → SensitiveSurface Detailer) specialist products are clearly superior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA proven strategy in well-set-up detailing businesses is the combination: the MultiStar as the base all-purpose cleaner for 80 % of all daily cleaning jobs, backed by one to three specialist products for the cases where the all-purpose cleaner falls short. This setup maximises economic efficiency (one main product in bulk) while keeping cleaning performance optimal for specific needs. The combination MultiStar + MultiClean Acid + a dedicated wheel cleaner, for example, fully covers the whole spectrum of alkaline and acidic cleaning needs in the vehicle space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst all-purpose cleaners from other makers, the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar offers the edge of proven system compatibility with other PROFILINE products and a professional formulation built for the specific demands of the vehicle segment. Household all-purpose cleaners are often tuned for other surfaces (floors, glass) and can leave residue or streaks on vehicle paint and sensitive plastics. The PROFILINE concentrate is tested on vehicle applications and certified accordingly for its compatibility with vehicle surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar — containers, price tiers and shop recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 1 litre, 5 litres, 10 litres, 25 litres, 60 litres and 200 litres. For single users and small businesses the 1-litre container is a manageable entry size — the concentrate goes a long way and a litre lasts a small business several weeks or months. The 5-litre container is the most economical standard size for mid-sized operations, while the 25-litre canister is the go-to for larger businesses with daily demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price gap between the 1-litre and 60-litre containers is considerable — per 100 ml of concentrate, the price on the 60-litre container sits well below the price on the 1-litre. For wash bays and fleet care getting through several litres of cleaner a day, the investment in the big container pays off fast. The 200-litre drum is built for industrial cleaning installations and central supply setups, where the cleaner feeds straight into dosing pumps or automatic mixing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom line: the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar is the most economical choice for businesses after a reliable, flexibly usable all-purpose cleaner in professional quality. The concentrate approach, the wide dilution flexibility and the bulk availability make it the ideal base cleaner in the PROFILINE range — backed by specialist products for particular cleaning needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53505896055119,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410","price":9.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53505896087887,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410_2","price":19.78,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53505896120655,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410_3","price":29.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53505896153423,"sku":"D1-SNX-6275050","price":38.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":53505904017743,"sku":"D1-SNX-6276000","price":67.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 liters","offer_id":53505904050511,"sku":"D1-SNX-6277050","price":165.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"60 liters","offer_id":53505904083279,"sku":"D1-SNX-6278000","price":510.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":53505904116047,"sku":"D1-SNX-6279000","price":1582.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-multistar-all-purpose-cleaner-universalreiniger.png?v=1730463356"},{"product_id":"meguiars-ultimate-snow-foam-xtreme-cling-wash","title":"Ultimate Snow Foam Xtreme Cling Wash Cleaning Foam","description":"\u003ch2\u003eContactless Paint Protection Before Washing – Meguiar's Ultimate Snow Foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy use Snow Foam before washing your car?

The foam cannon mixes the concentrated foam product with air and water to create a dense, stable foam. The surfactants in Ultimate Snow Foam are crucial for this process: they create stable foam bubbles even under high pressure, which adhere to the paint and do not run off immediately. Surfactant molecules embedded in the foam then break the adhesion of dirt particles on the paint surface – the dirt molecule is \"enveloped\" by a surfactant molecule and thus separated from the surface. When rinsing, the foam and bound dirt particles are removed together, without being dragged across the paint. The result is significantly cleaner paint before the actual hand wash, which then requires less pressure and friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrectly Applying Snow Foam – Step-by-Step Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplying Snow Foam correctly\u003c\/strong\u003e means: first, briefly pre-rinse the vehicle with water (remove coarse sand), then apply the foam evenly from bottom to top over the entire vehicle.

The classic Two-Bucket-Wash involves: one bucket with shampoo water, one bucket with clear rinse water. The wash mitt is wrung out in the clear bucket after each section before being dipped back into the shampoo bucket. If Snow Foam contactlessly removes most of the dirt beforehand, significantly less dirt enters the shampoo bucket – the system works more effectively, and the paint is treated more gently.
