A mildly alkaline shampoo (pH 9) for hand washing and gantry car washes, built on an anionic-nonionic surfactant blend. It's phosphate- and NTA-free, gives you around eight washes from a single litre, and looks after your wax and sealants while it does. Not meant for the first wash of heavily oiled shop vehicles, and safe on fresh ceramic coatings only when you dilute it 1:15.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mildly alkaline car shampoo from Unna with a pH of 9. Its mix of anionic and nonionic surfactants emulsifies dirt without going after the wax or sealant film already on the paint. The formula is completely free of phosphates and NTA and is cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is exactly why you'll find it in hobby wash bays as well as in larger gantry washes and tunnel washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH 9 profile is the core design trade-off: strong enough to break down baked-on road film and pollen, mild enough to keep your typical carnauba waxes and paint sealants alive through a normal wash season. That balance is what sets As apart from the harsher pre-cleaner and from the gentler Ceramic Effect shampoo in the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 litre = about 8 washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e At the standard hand-wash dilution of 1:15 (about 65 ml of As in 10 litres of bucket water), a 1-litre bottle covers roughly eight mid-size cars, so you're under a euro of product per car. If you've got two cars on the go, the 2x 1L set works out cheaper; shops and detailers running three washes a week should grab the 10-litre canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy on wax and sealant when you watch the dwell time.\u003c\/strong\u003e At pH 9, As won't strip carnauba waxes or paint sealants as long as the foam sits on the paint for under two minutes and gets rinsed off with clean water. Lay it on too strong, let it dwell, and you risk eating into the protection layer by layer. Dilution and a steady rinse rhythm aren't a suggestion here, they're the deal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree of phosphates, NTA and solvents.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula is tuned for biological greywater treatment and causes no headaches for commercial washes with water-recycling stages.

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

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

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.

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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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.

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.

The XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\" is formulated so that the amount of wax is sufficient to create a real lotus effect on the paint after washing — water beads up and rolls off with dirt particles, instead of flowing broadly over the surface.

After each panel, wash out the wash mitt in the rinse bucket before dipping it back into the shampoo water. This prevents dirt particles from accumulating in the shampoo water and being transferred back to the paint. Allow the shampoo to soak on the paint for a short time — 30 to 60 seconds — to improve the removal of road film and insect residues before rinsing. This optimally activates the 2-in-1 formula: cleaning first, then wax deposition on the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2-in-1 Formula of SONAX XTREME Shampoo — 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 acts sequentially during washing: First, the surfactants dissolve dirt crusts, road film, and organic deposits from the paint surface. In the same wash water film are the wax molecules, which deposit on the clean paint as soon as the dirt is removed. During rinsing, the surfactants are washed off, while the wax components remain on the paint and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wax component in the 2-in-1 shampoo works differently from an applied carnauba wax layer or a ceramic sealant: it is significantly thinner and less durable, but it provides a fresh protective film directly after every wash. Those who wash their vehicle weekly thus continuously build up a basic protection — each wash renews the protective layer. This is a different philosophy than a one-time, long-term sealant, but very practical for active drivers with a regular wash cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-neutral formulation is the decisive factor for compatibility with existing coatings. Alkaline shampoos (pH \u003e 7) act as degreasers and thus attack both dirt and wax layers and polymer sealants. If you have an active coating or a fresh wax sealant on your vehicle, you must pay attention to pH neutrality in the shampoo — the XTREME 2-in-1 Shampoo respects existing protective layers and simultaneously builds its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles that are occasionally re-washed by hand after an automatic car wash, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the most suitable supplementary product: the car wash removes coarse dirt, and hand washing with the 2-in-1 shampoo removes residual contamination and renews the paint protection. This creates an efficient care cycle that does not require separate wax applications. Also for seasonal vehicles that are thoroughly cleaned after winter, an initial wash with the 2-in-1 shampoo is a quick way to remove winter grime from paint and glass and simultaneously build fresh wax protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication of the 2-in-1 Shampoo — Hand Wash, Dosing, and Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dosage of the XTREME 2-in-1 Shampoo depends on the water temperature and the degree of contamination. For a 10-liter bucket, 30–50 ml of concentrate is usually sufficient — too high a dosage creates too much foam and makes rinsing more elaborate. The foam itself is not a quality criterion for car shampoo — it should be sufficient, but not excessive. Too much foam is a sign of overdose and can easily leave a cloudy residue after rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter washing, the vehicle should be rinsed as completely as possible with clean water to remove all surfactant residues. The wax components remain on the paint during rinsing because they are hydrophobic and are not washed away by water. After drying, the wax effect becomes apparent: water beads up on freshly washed paint and rolls off — a visual indicator of a functional wax film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying after rinsing should be done with an absorbent microfiber cloth. Water spots caused by standing water can leave limescale residues that impair the gloss effect of the fresh wax layer. Quick drying with a professional drying towel immediately after rinsing prevents these limescale residues and instantly presents the result of the wash: a clean, shiny vehicle with a fresh protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn dirt such as insect residues on the front or tar spots on the sills, the 2-in-1 shampoo alone is not always sufficient. In these cases, pre-treatment with an insect remover or tar cleaner is recommended before using the shampoo. The shampoo then takes over the final cleaning and the protective layer formation. This is the most sensible division of labor: special cleaner for stubborn stains, shampoo for the general surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application for XTREME 2-in-1 Shampoo — Everyday Care and Regular Washing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-in-1 shampoo is the ideal everyday shampoo for all drivers who wash regularly and want to avoid separate waxing.

The honest answer is: Yes, but not for the reasons most people assume. Cleaning power comes from the surfactants in the shampoo, not from the foam itself. What dense, long-lasting foam achieves is time: it keeps the surfactant-containing shampoo on the paintwork longer, extends the contact time, and thus allows for better chemical dissolution of dirt before it is carried away by the rinse water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a formula that, with correct dosing in a foam gun, generates particularly high foam density and coherence. The foam bubbles burst slowly — the foam adheres to the paintwork for several minutes without immediately running off. This is technically more complex to formulate than simply \"a lot of soap,\" because the foam must be dense enough to adhere and fine-pored enough to be applied evenly. Coarse foam bubbles burst quickly and distribute the cleaner unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone driving a vehicle with a fresh ceramic coating often asks whether a foam shampoo could damage the coating. The answer for pH-neutral products is clear: No. Alkaline shampoos with pH \u003e 9 can attack the polymeric structure of ceramic coatings and gradually degrade their hydrophobic properties over time. pH-neutral products like the XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo have no chemical affinity to the Si-O bonds of ceramic coatings and leave them untouched. This property is particularly relevant for vehicles that are regularly treated with a professional coating and whose lifespan is to be maximized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important detail concerns compatibility with different foam gun types. Foam guns for high-pressure cleaners (typically Kärcher, Nilfisk) generate more foam density through the nozzle than foam attachments for garden hoses. The Rich-Foam Shampoo works in both systems, but delivers the best performance in combination with a high-quality high-pressure foam gun. The concentration in the foam gun reservoir should be varied between 1:5 and 1:10 depending on the model — a test run with a small panel quickly shows which dosage produces the optimal foam density for the respective device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using the Rich-Foam Shampoo for the first time, one should start with a clean test panel to find the correct dosage for their own foam gun. The ideal mixing ratio varies depending on water hardness, water pressure, and gun model. A shampoo that is too diluted produces little foam; if too concentrated, it leads to premature drying and streaking. The dosage recommendation on the bottle is a good starting point, but a personal adjustment test will yield the best result for specific equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the chemistry in XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo: It uses anionic surfactants as the main cleaning component, supplemented by foam-boosting additives. Anionic surfactants have a high affinity for oily contaminants such as road film, grease, and insect residues — the most common types of contamination on vehicle paintwork. The surfactant molecules encapsulate dirt particles and form micelles, which are dispersed in the water and carried away during rinsing. This mechanism is independent of foam formation — but the extended contact time provided by the foam gives the surfactants more time to completely encapsulate dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProperly Using Rich-Foam Shampoo — Foam Gun, 2-Bucket Method, and Hand Wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOptimal application depends on the available equipment. With a foam gun on a high-pressure cleaner: Fill the foam gun with shampoo diluted 1:5 to 1:10, foam the vehicle dry from top to bottom, let it work for 3–5 minutes, rinse from top to bottom with medium water pressure. Then, a normal contact wash with a fresh wash bucket and wash mitt. The Rich-Foam Shampoo can also be used for this second step — or for optimal versatility, it can be combined with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for contact washing, which contains additional Si-Carbon care components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the pure 2-bucket method without a foam gun: Add 30–50 ml of Rich-Foam Shampoo to 10 liters of water in the wash bucket, foam up with a high-pressure cleaner or garden hose to support foam formation. Dip the wash mitt into the shampoo water, wash the vehicle panel by panel from top to bottom, always rinsing the mitt in the clear water bucket between panels (2-bucket method) to prevent dirt from being transferred back to the paintwork. The Rich-Foam Shampoo also produces enough foam in the classic bucket wash for a silky-smooth washing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who perform seasonal washes — such as the first wash after winter, when road salt residues and de-icing emulsion cover the underbody and wheel arches — should combine the Rich-Foam Shampoo with a separate underbody shampoo or engine cleaner. The Rich-Foam Shampoo is designed for visible paint surfaces, not for intensive cleaning of underbody areas. A clear separation of application areas ensures the best results: Rich-Foam for the bodywork, specialized underbody products for the demanding areas beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVehicles with ceramic coatings or polymer sealants particularly benefit from the pH-neutral formula of the Rich-Foam Shampoo. Alkaline shampoos can gradually degrade the hydrophobic properties of a sealant with regular use — pH-neutral products preserve them. Those who regularly wash their vehicle themselves and want to maintain a sealant for months should exclusively use pH-neutral shampoos. The Rich-Foam Shampoo is compatible with all common ceramic coatings, wax layers, and polymer sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWashing Results and Areas of Application — What a Rich-Foam Shampoo Can Achieve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a complete Rich-Foam pre-wash and contact wash process, the vehicle is streak-free and clean with a slight wet-look gloss that results in an evenly shiny finish after drying. The shampoo leaves no residue and no white streaky film — a problem that occurs with some inexpensive shampoos in hard water. The Rich-Foam Shampoo is also well-suited for regions with hard water because its formulation minimizes limescale deposits on the paint surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with heavy soiling — a lot of road salt in winter, heavy insect residues in summer, brake dust accumulations on the wheel arches — the Rich-Foam Shampoo alone is not sufficient. Chemical pre-treatment with an active cleaner or an insect remover before foaming is necessary in these cases. The Rich-Foam Shampoo then takes over the cleaning of the pre-dissolved contaminants in the second step. As an all-weather basic shampoo for regularly maintained vehicles with moderate everyday soiling, the Rich-Foam Shampoo is, however, completely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne aspect rarely discussed with car shampoos: the fragrance. In professional operations, strongly scented shampoos can be bothersome during long hours of work in enclosed spaces. The XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo has a subtle, fresh inherent scent that does not interfere with operation. This is a detail that makes a difference during daily use over several hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professionals in the car wash sector, the 5-liter container offers an economical setup. With a dosage of 50 ml per wash (foam gun), a 5-liter container is sufficient for 100 vehicles. This corresponds to a product cost of about 34 cents per vehicle — an amount that is calculable for professional businesses and plays no significant role in the overall cost calculation.\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 offers different products for various requirements. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pure wash shampoo — maximum foam performance for careful pre-washing, without additional sealing components. If you want to refresh the protective layer with every wash, choose \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-schaumversiegelung-autoshampoo-versiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal\u003c\/a\u003e: It contains a polymer sealing component that is applied with each wash and gradually builds up the hydrophobicity of the paintwork. The trade-off: It leaves a slight build-up film that can lead to slight clouding with frequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to differences in foam technology, surface compatibility also plays a role. The XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo is suitable for painted surfaces, chrome, glass, and exterior plastic parts. For rims, however, a separate rim cleaner is recommended, as rims generally have more brake dust and grease than a standard shampoo can efficiently remove. The typical practical recommendation: First pre-treat rims with rim cleaner, then foam the entire vehicle with Rich-Foam Shampoo — this way, rim dirt is not transferred to the bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foamgiant-shampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME FoamGiant Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e is also designed for maximum foaming, but optimized for use in professional foam lances and pressure tank systems. The viscosity and concentration differ slightly from the Rich-Foam Shampoo, which yields different results depending on the type of foam gun. A direct comparison on your own equipment provides the best answer to the question of which product works better for your specific equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of rinsing after the foam application also deserves attention. A complete rinsing of the foam before contact washing is important so that the wash mitt works on the cleanest possible surface in the second step — not on a mixture of foam and bound dirt. Those who work with hard water can use a very thin final rinse with deionized water at the end to prevent limescale spots during drying. However, this concerns drying management after washing, not the shampoo itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo, on the other hand, has a different focus: It contains Si-Carbon technology for coating-compatible care and is the shampoo of choice for vehicles with ceramic coatings that should receive an Si-Carbon refreshment with every wash. Those who simply want to clean an unsealed vehicle can fully rely on the Rich-Foam Shampoo; those who actively want to integrate coating care into the washing process are better served with the Ceramic ActiveShampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom the Rich-Foam Shampoo from SONAX Is the Right Choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rich-Foam Shampoo is the entry-level shampoo for anyone who wants to professionalize their washing routine with a foam pre-wash. Those who own a high-pressure cleaner or a foam gun and want to minimize the scratch-generating moments of contact washing will find the right product for the pre-wash step in the Rich-Foam Shampoo. It is easy to dose, versatile, and in a price segment that does not pose a financial hurdle even for regular users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that regularly clean their customers' vehicles and value gentle paint care, the 5-liter container is the right size. The scalable dosing gives the freedom to adjust the shampoo concentration as needed — from light routine washes to more intensive pre-cleaning before a polishing step. For home users without a high-pressure cleaner, the Rich-Foam Shampoo in a 1-liter container is suitable. With a simple foam attachment for the garden hose, a foam pre-wash can be performed even without a high-pressure cleaner — the result in terms of foam density is not quite as impressive, but sufficient for a significantly safer contact wash than without pre-wash. Even in a parking lot with a bucket and a microfiber wash mitt, the Rich-Foam Shampoo can be used as a normal washing agent — the foam advantage is not fully utilized, but the cleaning performance and coating compatibility are maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a verified SONAX specialist dealer, Detailing1 permanently carries the XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo in both container sizes and recommends it as a basic shampoo for any vehicle washing workflow that values paint-friendly cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49160879702351,"sku":"D1-SNX-02483000","price":10.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49310954193231,"sku":"D1-SNX-2485000","price":32.73,"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 an Enhanced Ceramic Protection — SONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can a car shampoo with Si-Carbon Technology do? The Ceramic Shampoo from the SONAX XTREME line deposits silicon dioxide particles onto the paint with every hand wash, building up a water and dirt-repellent ceramic protective layer — cleaning and protection in one step.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who regularly hand washes their vehicle spends a lot of time with a bucket — and misses out on building protection if they use a conventional shampoo. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e changes this equation: The 500ml concentrate uses Si-Carbon Technology to actively build ceramic protection on paint, glass, plastic, and chrome during the washing process itself. Each wash thus strengthens the protective film — instead of merely maintaining or neutralizing it. This is the conceptual difference from classic shampoos, which neither build up coatings nor actively supplement existing ones.\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 combines high dirt-dissolving power with active protection building: While the wash foam dissolves road grime, insect residue, and brake dust, Si-Carbon particles deposit on the surface.

Compared to conventional shampoos with a similar dosage ratio, the Ceramic ActiveShampoo provides significantly greater benefits for the same quantity: Each of these 10 washes is simultaneously a protective treatment that is entirely absent with a normal shampoo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ceramic ActiveShampoo develops its protective effect best on clean, dry paint. Always rinse off coarse dirt with cold water before washing — this prevents coarse dirt from damaging the paint during washing. For maximum ceramic protection buildup after washing, dry the vehicle with an absorbent microfiber drying towel instead of letting it air dry: Drying works the Si-Carbon particles more evenly into the surface. If you want an even more intensive refresh after washing, supplement the wash with a spray of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-quickdetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic QuickDetailer\u003c\/a\u003e on the damp paint before drying — this doubles the protective film without extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon Technology — how Ceramic ActiveShampoo builds ceramic protection with every wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSi-Carbon Technology is the basis of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e. The term describes a formulation based on silicon dioxide particles (SiO₂) — the same base material used in professional ceramic coatings. The difference from classic coatings lies in the size and processing form of the particles: Professional coatings use reactive SiO₂ compounds that chemically bond with the paint, forming a permanently hard protective layer. The Ceramic ActiveShampoo contains smaller Si-Carbon particles suspended in the shampoo emulsion, which physically deposit on the surface during the washing process and form a lubricious, hydrophobic protective layer as soon as the water evaporates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis deposited layer is less permanent than a chemically bonded coating, but it provides fresh protection with every wash. The system is cumulative: The more regularly the vehicle is washed with Ceramic ActiveShampoo, the more evenly and thickly the protective film builds up. Three to five washes are typically sufficient to achieve a significantly improved lotus effect and enhanced water beading — comparable to a mild polymer sealant state. With consistent weekly washing over several months, a stable level of protective film develops, which lasts longer between washes than on untreated paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compatibility of Ceramic ActiveShampoo with various surfaces is an important practical aspect. Si-Carbon Technology is designed for paint pH compatibility — the shampoo has a pH value in the neutral to slightly alkaline range, which is compatible with all common automotive paints. For coated surfaces, it is crucial that the shampoo does not contain aggressive surfactants that would strip a coating: Ceramic ActiveShampoo is formulated precisely for this — gentle enough to preserve a coating, yet strong enough to dissolve road grime. On glass surfaces, the silicon dioxide layer also supports the lotus effect and improves water runoff speed on the windshield in rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception about Si-Carbon Technology: Ceramic ActiveShampoo is not a substitute for professional ceramic coatings. It cannot replicate or replace the chemically bonded long-term protective power of a 2-year coating. Its strength lies in a different application concept: Regular, uncomplicated protective care with every wash — without a separate sealing step, without curing time, without special equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Ceramic ActiveShampoo — dosage, foam, and correct procedure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct application of Ceramic ActiveShampoo begins with the dosage: 50 ml concentrate per 10 liters of warm water. This mixture yields sufficient foam volume for a medium-sized vehicle and provides enough Si-Carbon particles for even protection buildup. Less shampoo saves product, but also reduces the concentration of active ceramic particles and thus the protective effect — underdosing is the most common application error with Ceramic ActiveShampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended washing procedure: First, pre-rinse the vehicle with clear, cold water to loosen coarse dirt and sand particles. Then, work from top to bottom with the mixed Ceramic ActiveShampoo and a wash mitt (lambswool\/microfiber mitt) — roof, windows, hood, sides, finally sills and bumpers. For heavily soiled areas such as sills and wheel arches, a separate bucket with fresh shampoo solution is recommended to prevent coarse dirt from the wheel arches from transferring to the paint surfaces (two-bucket method). After washing, rinse thoroughly with clear water until no shampoo is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying is more important with this product than with a classic shampoo: Since the Si-Carbon particles remain on the surface as the water film evaporates, even drying is crucial for uniform protective film buildup. A high-quality microfiber drying towel with sufficient absorbency (at least 400 g\/m²) ensures that no water spots occur that could disrupt particle distribution. Never simply let the vehicle air dry after washing if you want to achieve maximum protective effect — running water draws the Si-Carbon particles into streaks and distributes them unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic ActiveShampoo is suitable exclusively for hand washing — not for machine washing or pressure washers. The high foam development would cause problems in automatic car washes; moreover, physical application with a wash mitt is necessary to rub the Si-Carbon particles into the surface and optimally incorporate them. The machine rollers during contact washing in the bays do not have this advantage — the even contact pressure of the wash mitt is crucial for protection buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic protection through washing — water beading, durability, and compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most noticeable result after washing with Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the altered water beading behavior. Even after the first wash, the difference is noticeable on untreated paint: Water beads off faster, the contact angles between water droplets and paint increase, and the lotus effect is significantly stronger than after a wash with a non-protective shampoo. With each subsequent wash, this effect intensifies until a stable plateau is reached — typically after 3–5 washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of the protective film between washes depends heavily on environmental conditions. With normal urban use (garage or carport parking, average rain exposure), the built-up protective film lasts 2–4 weeks at a level significantly higher than that of untreated paint. With intensive driving, highway driving with heavy insect and stone chip impact, or salt exposure in winter, the protective film degrades faster — making regular washing even more important, as it automatically builds up and renews protection. Ceramic ActiveShampoo is, in this sense, a system: Not a one-time treatment, but a routine product that unfolds its protective effect through regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn glass surfaces — windshield, side windows, tailgate — Si-Carbon Technology exhibits a particularly practical side effect: Water runs off significantly faster in driving wind above 60 km\/h, as the silicon dioxide layer increases the contact angle between water and glass. Those who regularly wash their vehicle with Ceramic ActiveShampoo also benefit from improved rain runoff on the windows without a separate glass sealant. The effect on glass is less pronounced than with a dedicated glass sealant, but for everyday drivers during quick washes, it's a welcome side benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly relevant for vehicle owners with existing coatings: Ceramic ActiveShampoo does not attack hard waxes, polymer sealants, and chemically bonded ceramic coatings. It can be used without hesitation as a wash maintenance shampoo for coated vehicles. The Si-Carbon particles deposit on the existing coating and enhance its hydrophobicity between regular refreshes. Those working with a professional ceramic coating and maintaining it with regular topcoat refreshes can integrate Ceramic ActiveShampoo as an everyday wash product into their maintenance workflow — without fear of compromising the more expensive coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic ActiveShampoo compared — vs. normal shampoo and vs. foam sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with a classic shampoo without protective components highlights the primary added value of Ceramic ActiveShampoo: A normal shampoo cleans and rinses — nothing more. It builds no protection, maintains no protection, and can even minimally reduce it if it temporarily alters the surface energy of the paint through surfactants. The 500ml bottle of Ceramic ActiveShampoo costs slightly more than a simple shampoo, but simultaneously provides active protection buildup. In a price-per-wash comparison (approx. 10 washes from 500ml), the extra cost per wash is small, but the added value is substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-schaumversiegelung-autoshampoo-versiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal \"Foam Sealant\"\u003c\/a\u003e, there are clear positional differences: Foam+Seal is also a shampoo with a protective component, but it is more focused on the sealing component — it contains polymer waxes that build a thicker, more hydrophobic protective layer per application, but also requires a stronger surface for foam application. Ceramic ActiveShampoo's protective formulation is geared towards Si-Carbon particles and builds a finer protective film designed for ceramic compatibility. If you have a coating: Ceramic ActiveShampoo. If you don't have a coating and want to get maximum sealing effect from the shampoo: Foam+Seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-richfoam-shampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e shows a different profile: Rich-Foam Shampoo focuses on foam volume and lubricity as primary properties — ideal for the two-bucket method and soft-wax paint care, without an active protective component. It cleans very thoroughly and is particularly suitable for sensitive paints where residue-free rinsing is crucial. Ceramic ActiveShampoo has slightly more residue potential due to the Si-Carbon particles, which are intentionally meant to remain on the surface — for very sensitive soft paints or for vehicles that are to be polished directly after washing, Rich-Foam may be the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying car shampoo with ceramic protection — for whom Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the right choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal choice for vehicle owners who regularly hand wash their car and want to build protection incidentally — without extra time for a separate sealing step. Anyone who washes their car every one to two weeks invests no additional time but, after a few washes, gets significantly improved water beading and visibly deeper paint gloss. For this user group, Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the most efficient protective product in terms of effort and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicle owners with existing ceramic coatings, Ceramic ActiveShampoo is the recommended choice for wash maintenance between annual coating refreshes. Since the shampoo contains no aggressive surfactants and actively supports the coating with Si-Carbon particles, regular use noticeably extends the lifespan and care intensity of the coating. A combination of weekly washing with Ceramic ActiveShampoo and monthly refreshing with SONAX XTREME Ceramic QuickDetailer keeps the coating in top condition long-term, without expensive professional applications between regular service intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor new car owners, Ceramic ActiveShampoo is an ideal introduction to structured paint protection buildup: Those who start washing with a shampoo that actively builds protection from the beginning will benefit long-term from better paint condition than someone who only starts protective care years later — because the surface will already be more deeply oxidized then.\n\nCeramic ActiveShampoo is less suitable for vehicles that are exclusively washed in an automatic car wash, as well as for situations where polishing or applying a new coating immediately after washing — in these cases, a residue-free shampoo without protective components is more suitable.

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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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":10.22,"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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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=\"\/en\/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.

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=\"\/en\/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":28.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Dosing Cap","offer_id":54599151452495,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001+9998149","price":33.81,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904611151,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_2","price":57.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904643919,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_3","price":86.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49670904676687,"sku":"D1-KCX-811005","price":126.47,"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\" Wash without Rinsing","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWash without rinsing with Koch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience fast and effective cleaning with \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.

While the surfactants effectively dissolve dirt, road film, and deposits, the wax formula releases tiny protective particles that adhere to the clean paint. The result is a fresh protective layer that is renewed and built up with each wash. This technology is particularly suitable for vehicles that are washed regularly – no separate wax or sealant product needs to be applied to achieve a well-maintained and radiant appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect Application – Ultimate Wash \u0026amp; Wax in Everyday Detailing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal effect, Meguiars recommends dispensing the shampoo at a ratio of approximately 30–60 ml to 15 liters of water. It is best to use a soft microfiber or lamb's wool wash mitt and wash the vehicle in linear motions from top to bottom. Start with the less soiled areas such as the roof and hood before moving on to the rocker panel and wheel arch areas. After rinsing with clear water, quickly dry the vehicle with a high-quality microfiber towel to prevent water spots. After just a few applications, the cumulative waxing effect will be clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResults and Areas of Application – Who is Ultimate Wash \u0026amp; Wax Ideal For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltimate Wash \u0026amp; Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e is ideal for vehicle owners who wash regularly and want to keep their paint in good condition at the same time – without investing a lot of time in separate sealing steps.

Upon contact with road film, dust, and organic residues, particles are bound in micelles, and the gliding additives reduce contact friction between the wash mitt and the surface. This minimizes micro-scratches, while the care components dry as a thin film and visually refresh existing LSPs (wax, spray sealant, coating): more smoothness, richer shine, clean water beading. The formula is deliberately free of aggressive solvent enhancers – this preserves protective layers and makes washing error-tolerant.

A pH-neutral car shampoo concentrate from TUGA Chemie GmbH (Osnabrück) with a pH value of 7.0 to 7.5 and a synergistic surfactant blend of anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants (each under 5 percent). The glycol ether solvent 1-methoxy-2-propanol (CAS 107-98-2) enhances cleaning performance without alkaline aggressiveness. Phosphonates as complexing agents prevent the formation of lime soap in hard water. Characteristic lychee scent, pink coloring. Highest substrate compatibility — explicitly LSP-safe for carnauba wax, polymer sealants, and ceramic coatings. No gloss enhancers of its own — the \"shine\" comes from pore-deep cleaning, not from wax additives.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShampoo-Teufel®\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pH-neutral maintenance shampoo from TUGA Chemie GmbH and is positioned as the LSP-safe all-rounder in their product range. LSP stands for \"Last Step Product\" — the final protective layer applied to the clear coat, whether it's carnauba wax, polymer sealant, or ceramic coating. While alkaline shampoos (pH \u003e 9) somewhat degrade these protective layers with every wash, Shampoo-Teufel, with a pH of 7.0 to 7.5, is explicitly designed to leave them untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula works with a three-layer surfactant complex. Anionic surfactants provide primary dirt loosening and foam formation. Nonionic surfactants are insensitive to water hardness and emulsify greasy road grime. Amphoteric surfactants (typically betaines) act as foam boosters and improve the skin compatibility of the mixture. Phosphonates bind calcium and magnesium ions in the wash water, prevent the formation of insoluble lime soaps, and guarantee streak-free rinsing even with extremely hard water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe crucial technical USP is the presence of 1-methoxy-2-propanol (monopropylene glycol methyl ether). This glycol-based solvent couples water and oil phases and attacks stubborn resins or insect proteins without chemically etching the paint — bridging the cleaning gap left by the neutral pH value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLychee scent as a differentiating feature — not a marketing gimmick.\u003c\/strong\u003e While Sonax and Koch-Chemie rely on neutral or citrus scents, and premium brands often smell distinctly \"chemical,\" TUGA's Shampoo-Teufel, with its distinctive lychee aroma (approx. 80 percent sweet, 20 percent sour), is a recognizable feature in the DACH detailing forum — many users recognize the product by smell alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo gloss enhancers — and that's precisely the advantage.\u003c\/strong\u003e The product description advertises a \"gloss formula,\" but a direct inquiry to the manufacturer from the detailing community revealed that it contains no active gloss enhancers (no synthetic polymers, no carnauba wax, no silicone oils).

Higher dosage results in a watery consistency and product waste. The correct foam lance dosage: 50 ml concentrate per 1 liter of distilled water, applied with a compressed air lance. Hand wash in a bucket: 25 to 30 ml per 10 liters of warm water. We consistently work with the two-bucket system: one bucket with shampoo solution, a second with clear water for microfiber mitt cleaning. Wipe with a microfiber mitt in straight lines, never in circles — the latter creates visible swirl marks in the clear coat, which make any premium paint look cheap in backlight. For ceramic-coated vehicles, rinse particularly thoroughly — surfactant residues temporarily impair the beading of the SiO₂ coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilute concentrate, bucket or foam lance wash, rinse with clear water.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard workflow begins with dilution. The pre-wash phase with snow foam from the foam lance: 50 ml of Shampoo-Teufel concentrate per 1 liter of distilled or low-lime water, applied with a compressed air or high-pressure foam lance. Let the foam sit for 3 to 5 minutes — never let it dry, work in the shade if sunny. Then rinse off thoroughly with a high-pressure water jet — most of the road grime will be gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the main hand wash: 25 to 30 ml of concentrate per 10 liters of warm water in a bucket. Warm water activates the surfactants better than cold water — in winter outdoor temperatures, mix the bucket in the garage and start immediately. Work with the microfiber wash mitt in straight lines, never in circular motions — the latter creates visible swirl marks in the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the wash mitt regularly in the clear water bucket to avoid reapplying dissolved dirt to the paint. The detailing community works with the two-bucket system: one bucket with shampoo solution, one bucket with clear water for cleaning the mitt. This keeps the wash solution clean and minimizes mechanical stress on the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the main wash, rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clear water — never let surfactant residues dry on the surface.

The first is in spring detailing between March and May — pollen fallout, saltwater residues, and general winter dirt on waxed summer vehicles. The second peak is in mid-summer (June to August) — insect pre-wash before dedicated insect remover use, reducing mechanical stress. The third peak is in late autumn and winter — weekly maintenance washes before and after road salt periods to maintain corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who maintain weekly keep the paint sealant for 18 to 24 months — those who wash only monthly will see hydrophobicity degrade after 9 to 12 months. The pH-neutral Shampoo-Teufel is key here: every additional wash does not harm the sealant but maintains its function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-liter spray bottle for about 8 euros lasts for about 33 to 40 washes with weekly washing and 25-30 ml consumption per wash — so eight to ten months for one vehicle. In the 5-liter canister for about 26 euros, the price per liter drops to about 5.20 euros, which is clearly economically superior for frequent use — the concentrate proportion per wash cycle is 13 to 16 cents, a fraction of the water and energy costs of the high-pressure system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOff-label, Shampoo-Teufel is excellently suited for sensitive outdoor household surfaces — photovoltaic modules, painted garden furniture, ceramic patio tables.

GYEON Bathe is a maintenance shampoo for sealed vehicles — the pH value is 6, the formulation uses mild surfactants and produces a dense foam that can be generated both in a wash mitt and from a foam lance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe high amount of foam is not just a visual effect but part of the cleaning principle.

Anyone who pours a \"good portion\" into the water quickly has 40 to 50 ml in the bucket and washes with double concentration. The foam doesn't get better, rinsing becomes tedious, and white residues remain on trim. Add 15 to 20 ml with a measuring cup to warm water at 30 to 40 °C.

This step is the most important scratch protection before the actual wash — no shampoo in the world can compensate for embedded quartz dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace warm water in the wash bucket, then pour in the Bathe — not the other way around, otherwise the dosage will bubble over and the concentration will increase uncontrollably.

This is both its strength and its limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBathe does not reliably dissolve heavily baked-on insect residues, tar splashes, and tree sap.

This is not a recommendation; it's a technical prerequisite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor infrequent washers (once a month or less), Bathe is solid but not essential. Those who wash infrequently usually have heavier soiling per wash and are better off with an alkaline pre-wash plus a neutral main shampoo. Then Bathe becomes the second step of a two-stage process — useful, but it doesn't replace a dedicated deep-cleaning shampoo like Q²M RestartWash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Detailing1's workshop practice, we work Bathe in conjunction with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-silkdryer-evo-trockentuch\"\u003esoft microfiber drying towel\u003c\/a\u003e and a solid wash mitt.

That stops pre-foaming and gives you control over the concentration. With very hard water it pays to run a higher share of concentrate, since limescale can knock down foam stability. Lay the foam on top to bottom and let it dwell at least 3–5 minutes before you work the panel with the wash mitt. For matt paint and wraps: after rinsing, dry off with a soft drying towel — don't drag it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003epH-neutral foam formula — how the FoamGiant lifts dirt without harming surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe principle behind a pH-neutral foam shampoo is simpler than it sounds: a pH of 7 (neutral) means the product reacts neither acidic nor alkaline. That matters, because most protective layers on car paint — hard waxes, polymer sealants, ceramic coatings — get broken down by extreme pH values. An acidic shampoo (pH under 5) dissolves limescale and water spots, but it also attacks sealants. An alkaline shampoo (pH over 9) cleans very aggressively, but it can swell wraps and strip the oils out of paint. The FoamGiant lands in the middle: it cleans through surfactant action — the surfactants wrap around dirt particles and lift them off the surface without chemically reaching into the surface itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference from a standard car shampoo sits in the foam formula. Ordinary shampoos make foam when you mix them with water and air, but the quality of that foam — stability, density, how it clings to the panel — depends heavily on the foaming agents used. The FoamGiant runs a formula deliberately tuned for maximum foam dwell. That means the foam stays put as a compact blanket on the car's surface, doesn't run off straight away, and gives the surfactants enough time to bind dirt and road film. That extended dwell is the core advantage over thinner foam. At the same time there are no aggressive solvents or acids in the formula that would cause trouble on sensitive surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars with wraps the pH neutrality really earns its place. PPF film reacts sensitively to solvent-heavy or very alkaline cleaners — the elastomer layer that gives it its self-healing properties can be permanently damaged by the wrong chemistry. So if you've got a wrapped car and you want to wash it regularly with a foam lance, you're far better served by a pH-neutral foam concentrate like the FoamGiant than by a universal pressure-washer shampoo from the DIY store. The formula is also free of components that would leave unwanted gloss on matt paint and matt wraps — the matt finish survives the wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDosing and using the FoamGiant the right way — the wash workflow with a foam lance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow you use the FoamGiant depends on the gear. Most often it goes on with a foam lance on a pressure washer: here you mix 30–100 ml of concentrate with 1 litre of water and pour it into the lance bottle. The exact amount depends on the gear, the nozzle setting and your own foam preference. If you like creamy, dense foam, dose more generously — if you'd rather have a more flowing pre-foam pass, take the lower dose. With a hand foam sprayer (e.g. PROFILINE FoamSprayer) 10–30 ml per litre of water is the recommendation. The lower dose is enough, because the hand sprayer pulls less air into the mix than a high-pressure foam lance — the foam is softer and has a different texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wash workflow ideally starts with a quick pre-rinse of the car using clean water, to flush off loose grit and stop sand particles getting worked into the paint when you lay the foam on. Then you spray the foam on top to bottom — roof, bonnet, side panels, sills last. Don't go under the 3–5 minute dwell time; on heavily soiled cars the foam can sit on the panel even longer. Important: the foam mustn't dry on. On hot summer days or in direct sun, work faster or wash the car in the shade, since dried-on shampoo can leave streaks and water spots. After the dwell comes the hand wash with a wash mitt — the foam acts as a lubricant and shields the paint from micro-scratches caused by the direct contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake: pouring the concentrate straight into the foam sprayer without diluting it. Neat concentrate can clog nozzles and doesn't make better foam — quite the opposite, the foam quality drops when the ratio is off. Always water in the bottle first, then concentrate. That stops pre-foaming as you fill and gives you an even mix. After the wash, give the foam lance or sprayer bottle a quick flush with clean water — it extends the life of the gear and stops residue building up in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits — which cars and surfaces the FoamGiant suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME FoamGiant\u003c\/strong\u003e suits almost every exterior surface on a modern car: painted panels in gloss and matt, wraps, chrome trim, glass, plastic exterior parts and wheels. The one limit: for badly baked-on iron fallout on wheels or for stubborn tyre deposits, a specialised cleaner gets you there faster — the FoamGiant is a wash shampoo, not a heavy-duty cleaner. It reliably pulls road film, fresh bird mess, fresh-to-lightly-dried bug splatter and dust deposits. For heavy soiling like baked-on tar, tree sap or long-dried bird mess, pre-treat with a specialised remover before the foam wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars with active protection — ceramic coatings, polymer sealants or graphene — the FoamGiant is ideal: it doesn't wash the protection out, it cleans gently over the top of it. That's a key difference from alkaline shampoos, which strip protective layers away systematically over time. So if you've got a quality sealant on the car and you want to get the most life out of it, watch the pH neutrality when you pick a shampoo. The FoamGiant is the right call for exactly this case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional detailers washing several cars a day, the 1-litre concentrate makes economic sense too: at a dose of 50 ml per litre of water, one litre of concentrate gives you 20 litres of foam mix — enough for a whole run of cars. The concentrate form cuts storage volume and makes the product cheaper to run than ready-to-use shampoos. Against some rivals in the pro segment, the FoamGiant shows an excellent balance of foam quality and cleaning intensity, without ever being a safety risk for sensitive surfaces. That makes it a dependable everyday shampoo you can lean on wash after wash. Handy bonus: the FoamGiant concentrate is easy to buy ahead and store — the bottle barely takes up room in the garage, and since the concentrate goes on heavily diluted, one bottle lasts a lot longer than most ready-to-use shampoos. For anyone who washes regularly — private detailer or pro — that's a real cost advantage. On top of that: a dense foam blanket protects against holograms and swirl marks during the hand wash, because it cushions the direct contact between wash mitt and paint. Anyone who cares about their paint quality while washing knows how important that mechanical buffer is — and the FoamGiant delivers it reliably on every pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoamGiant compared — where it differs from other foam shampoos\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX XTREME range, the FoamGiant sits clearly as the product focused on maximum foam performance and dwell.

If on the other hand you run the foam lance regularly and want to squeeze the maximum foam yield out of the concentrate, the FoamGiant is the better call — it's explicitly tuned for the spray-application workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e rounds out the range for a different case: it carries a ceramic protection component that lightly tops up the car's protective layer with every wash.

If on the other hand you need strong foam for the pre-foam step or as a main wash product, without touching the sealant already on the car, the FoamGiant is your answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst universal foam cleaners from the general accessories trade, the FoamGiant has the edge in being specialised for car washing: the surfactants are tuned to road grime, the formula is paint-safe, and the mix of foam quality and surface care is built around the surfaces you actually find on a car. Cheap universal cleaners can throw up a similar amount of foam short-term, but they often have uncontrolled pH values and the potential to damage coatings and wraps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying advice — who the SONAX XTREME FoamGiant is worth it for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FoamGiant is the first choice for anyone who runs a foam lance or a foam sprayer as a fixed part of their wash workflow and wants a product with maximum foam performance. If you wash your car twice a week or more — say after city runs or in pollen season — you get the most out of a foam concentrate that doesn't stress the paint or any protective layers even with frequent use. That holds for the keen private detailer with their own pressure washer just as much as for the pro processing several cars a day. If you've got a car with a wrap, matt paint or a fresh ceramic seal and you want to wash it thoroughly on a regular basis without putting the protective layer at risk, the FoamGiant is a safe decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo round out the full foam-wash workflow alongside the FoamGiant, look at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-foamsprayer-schaumspruher\"\u003ePROFILINE FoamSprayer\u003c\/a\u003e — the handy foam sprayer that needs no pressure washer, particularly good for quick refresh washes or for use on the road. Paired with the FoamGiant concentrate you get a compact, powerful wash kit that needs no external pressure source. For the full detailing workflow, a wax or sealant shampoo is worth reaching for as the last step after the foam wash. The FoamGiant is the solid base here: it cleans thoroughly, protects the paint mechanically through dense foam, and leaves the surface in the best shape for everything that follows. The 1-litre bottle covers plenty of washes and offers excellent value for a specialised foam concentrate of this quality. Once you've washed with the FoamGiant, you'll see the difference from an ordinary car shampoo straight away — and you'll hardly want to switch back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57341846847823,"sku":"D1-SNX-02903000","price":11.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-xtreme-foamgiant-shampoo-autoshampoo_1000ml.png?v=1774730123"},{"product_id":"meguiars-hybrid-ceramic-wash-and-wax-autoshampoo-versiegelung","title":"Hybrid Ceramic \"Wash \u0026 Wax\" Car Shampoo with Sealant","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCeramic Protection with Every Wash Using Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow do you wash your sealed car without weakening the ceramic layer?

As you wash your car, something clever happens: The shampoo not only cleans away dirt and bird droppings but also simultaneously deposits microscopic SiO2 ceramic particles that strengthen your existing ceramic layer. This is crucial: normal shampoos degrade ceramic protection by being alkaline and roughing up the paint too much. The Hybrid Ceramic Shampoo works supportively. You save expensive reapplications of ceramic because your protection lasts longer with every wash. The result is extreme water beading and a shine that even freshly polished cars can't achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSiO2 Boost: Strengthen Ceramic Coating Instead of Weakening It.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every wash with this shampoo deposits additional SiO2 ceramic particles onto the paint – like a pile of fine abrasive, forming a transparent, invisible protective film.

For a foam cannon, dose about 6:1 (20–25 ml per cartridge); for bucket washing, use 60 ml per 3.8 L of warm water. A professional trick: Use the foam cannon as a pre-wash (allow 5–10 minutes dwell time) to gently loosen dirt, then rinse and do the second wash in the bucket. This further protects the ceramic and maximizes SiO2 deposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSiO2 Shampoo – How Does Hybrid Ceramic Technology Work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret lies in the hybrid chemistry: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax uses two technologies in parallel. First: Gentle, yet effective surfactants (cleaners) that bind dirt, bird droppings, insect residues, and brake dust without damaging the paint. Second: Nano-SiO2 ceramic particles dissolved in a special oil-in-water emulsion. As you wash and rinse, these SiO2 particles deposit onto the paint like a film of glass – not visible, but extremely effective. SiO2 (silicon dioxide) is the same material used in premium ceramic coatings like Meguiar's Ultimate Ceramic Coating Spray, only in a micro-fine dispersed form. This is why this shampoo strengthens existing ceramic layers instead of breaking them down. The surface structure becomes finer and less porous, which is why water no longer penetrates but completely beads off. The hybrid component is important: The shampoo is not too aggressive like alkaline cleaners (which roughen up ceramic) and not too gentle like pure care shampoos (which don't reliably remove dirt). It is the golden mean for ceramic professionals and dedicated owners who wash regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Wash Application – The Right Workflow for Hybrid Ceramic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application differs slightly from classic shampoos because SiO2 deposition requires dwell time. Ideally, you start with a pre-wash: Rinse your car with clear water or use a pre-wash with a foam cannon (allow about 5–10 minutes dwell time). This gently loosens coarse dirt and prepares the paint. Then mix the shampoo: About 60 ml per 3.8 liters of lukewarm water in the bucket. The temperature is important – it helps the emulsion work perfectly. Work quickly from top to bottom: roof, hood, doors, side panels. The important difference: Let the shampoo sit briefly (30–60 seconds) on larger areas before continuing – this gives the SiO2 particles time to deposit. Use a soft wash mitt or microfiber mitt to avoid scratches. After each area, wring out the mitt in clear water (second bucket). Finally, rinse thoroughly with clear, cooler water – this seals the SiO2 ceramic layer and immediately creates the lotus effect. The shampoo dries quickly and leaves no streaks. Foam Cannon users: Dose 20–25 ml per cartridge (6:1), foam the entire car, let it work for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This is the gentlest method and maximizes ceramic strengthening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCar Shampoo with Sealant – Results \u0026amp; Optimal Application Areas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax shows its full strength on vehicles with existing ceramic coatings. If you already have a high-quality ceramic layer (e.g., Meguiar's Ultimate Ceramic Coating Spray, a professional ceramic from a detailer, or even newer OEM ceramics), this shampoo is essential: Regular washes with this formula extend the lifespan by months to years. This is extremely economical – a good ceramic coating costs €200–500 if you had to renew it annually. With this shampoo, you save that. New vehicles with modern factory paint also benefit: The shampoo cleans reliably and immediately deposits a first protective ceramic layer, without you having to seal extra. This is great maintenance for new car owners who want to protect their paint from the start. This shampoo is also ideal for Hybrid Ceramic sealed cars (e.g., if you have used our Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax) – it strengthens the hybrid layer and increases durability. An important note: If your car is extremely dirty (construction site, long standing time), combine this shampoo with a pre-wash or our Ultimate Snow Foam – the aggressive cleaning doesn't foam as dramatically, and the SiO2 deposition still works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Car Shampoo Comparison – Hybrid Ceramic vs. Ultimate vs. Gold Class\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's offers several high-quality shampoo lines, and the choice depends on your sealing strategy. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax is the first choice for anyone actively working with ceramic coatings – whether their own applications or professional ones. It differs fundamentally from Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo, which uses traditional carnauba wax conditioners and is better suited for Gold Class wax sealants. Meguiar's Ultimate Wash \u0026amp; Wax (if you compare it with other lines) is a good entry-level alternative, but it does not have the specialized SiO2 ceramic technology. Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax is more modern technology – it works precisely with SiO2 instead of general wax conditioners. If you own a car with ceramic coating, no other Meguiar's shampoo is as effective for maintenance. A comparison with competitors quickly shows: Many \"ceramic shampoos\" from other brands are greenwashing – they contain hardly any SiO2 and simply call themselves that. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic is real, measurable, and noticeable with every wash, because the water beading effect immediately becomes stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax – Purchase Recommendation \u0026amp; Ideal Combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax (1420 ml) is a must-have product for anyone who owns a ceramic coating. It is not \"nicely added\" but fundamental for the lifespan of your coating. The 1420ml bottle is large enough for about 15–20 regular washes (depending on vehicle size and dirt level) and perfect for active detailers. Ideally, you combine this shampoo with other products from the Hybrid Ceramic line: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax as a base sealant (easy to apply, long-lasting), Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer for weekly care between washes, and Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Tire Shine for a consistent look. Together, this forms a coherent system – all tuned to SiO2 and hybrid ceramic technology. If you're not a fan of full-on ceramic coatings but want to use modern hybrid ceramic technology, Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax is also a great entry-level sealant – it takes minutes, not hours. The shampoo also works with older sealants or car waxes from other brands, but it shows its full potential with a ceramic setup. A pro tip: If you maintain your car between washes with our Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer (simply spray on with a cloth and wipe off), the shine is further enhanced and the ceramic layer lasts even longer. The shampoo is the wet care, the detailer is the dry care – together they are unbeatable. Price-performance: The 1420ml bottle is extremely cost-effective per wash (about €1–1.50), but saves you hundreds of euros in ceramic reapplications.

As you wash your car, the surfactants dissolve bird droppings, insect residue, brake dust, and road grime. In parallel, the carnauba wax oils deposit a thin protective layer on the paint. This is important: this layer is not thick like a real wax polish, but rather a refreshing layer that reinforces existing sealants. This is also why the shampoo is so safe for already sealed vehicles – it doesn't degrade, but supports. The amount of foam is optimally dosed: enough to work efficiently on large surfaces, but not so much that it's difficult to rinse. That's why it works both in bucket washing and in a foam cannon – the concentration adapts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGold Class Car Wash Application – Step-by-Step Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is straightforward, but it's worth knowing the correct procedure. First, pre-wash: rinse your car thoroughly with clear water – this removes loose leaves, sand, and coarse dirt that could otherwise cause scratches during washing. Then mix the shampoo: about 60 ml (a good handful) to 3.8 liters of warm water in the bucket. The temperature is important – lukewarm water helps the surfactants work better, and the carnauba wax oils dissolve more evenly. Use a high-quality wash mitt or microfiber wash mitt – this reduces friction on the paint and distributes the shampoo more evenly. Work from top to bottom: roof, hood, doors, side panels, then underside. After each section, wring out the mitt in clear water – that's the two-bucket method, and it's not optional if you want to avoid scratches. Finally, rinse clean with clear water. The carnauba wax conditioners become active during rinsing and immediately create the characteristic water beading. For foam cannon users: Dose about 20 ml per cartridge (or 6:1 dilution), pre-wash with it, then rinse with clear water. The shampoo is also very effective in this method, as the foam structure makes cleaning more even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eResults \u0026amp; Areas of Application – Which Vehicles Are Ideal For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's Gold Class Shampoo is universally applicable but particularly excels in certain scenarios. Vehicles with older paint that require gentle treatment – such as classics or vehicles with thinner clear coats – benefit immensely from the pH-neutral formula and nourishing oils. Vehicles already sealed with Gold Class Paste or Liquid Wax receive optimal care through the matching shampoo: the conditioners in the shampoo strengthen the wax layer with every wash, instead of degrading it. This is a major advantage over cheap shampoos, which are often alkaline and destroy wax layers in a few weeks. Gold Class Shampoo is also safe for vehicles with newer ceramic coatings (such as Meguiar's Ultimate Ceramic Coating Spray or our Hybrid Ceramic line) – it acts supportively rather than aggressively. New vehicles with factory paint also benefit: the shampoo cleans reliably, and the carnauba wax conditioners immediately give the young paint an additional layer of shine. An important note for very dirty cars: If your car is extremely dirty (construction site drives, long periods of standing), combine the Gold Class Shampoo with a prior clay bar treatment or a pre-wash with snow foam – this eases the burden on both the shampoo and your wash mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGold Class vs. Other Meguiar's Shampoos – Comparison and Differentiation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's offers several shampoo lines, and it's useful to understand when each is the right choice. Gold Class Shampoo is aimed at users who value classic premium quality and carnauba wax care – it is the traditional recommendation for regular washing and paint care in one. Meguiar's Ultimate Wash \u0026amp; Wax is a more modern alternative with more aggressive cleaning and faster application, but it is aimed more at beginners and is not as specifically tailored to existing wax layers. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax (1420 ml) is the counterpart for modern hybrid ceramic-sealed cars – it uses SiO2 technology instead of carnauba wax and is specifically formulated to strengthen ceramic layers. So, if you already use Gold Class wax, Gold Class Shampoo is the natural choice. However, if you want to switch to more modern Hybrid Ceramic or Ultimate Ceramic solutions, also switch to Hybrid Ceramic Wash \u0026amp; Wax – the formulas are coordinated. For true enthusiasts: You can use Gold Class Shampoo year-round, but in winter – when road salt and dirt are extreme – support it with our Ultimate Snow Foam as a pre-wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePurchase Recommendation – Who is Gold Class Shampoo the Right Choice for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's Gold Class Shampoo is the first choice for anyone who doesn't want to choose between cleaning and care. It's a perfect fit if you already own Gold Class Paste or Liquid Wax (our best-selling wax combination in Germany), and it's also ideal if you prefer a classic, timeless approach to paint care – quality over trend. Classic car enthusiasts who want to treat their paint gently are right at home here. The shampoo is also essential for anyone who wants to maintain their existing wax layer between new applications – it extends the life of any sealant by weeks. The 473 ml bottle is perfect for occasional washers (4–6 washes), the 1.89 L bottle for those who wash regularly or have multiple vehicles. If you are responsible for several cars or want to equip your shop with a reliable standard shampoo, the large bottle is more cost-effective. Combined with our Gold Class Paste Wax or Gold Class Endurance Tire Gel, you create a complete, coordinated care routine – but even as a pure shampoo when combining with other brands, it remains unrivaled. Our tip: Many beginners start believing that cheap shampoos save money. After three months, they have destroyed their wax layer and have to re-seal expensively.

Aus unserer Praxis: Bei über 25 °C lieber zwei kleinere Durchgänge als eine große Fläche, die in der Sonne wegtrocknet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRund 50 ml auf zehn Liter, nicht antrocknen lassen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRund 50 ml SONAX AutoShampoo Konzentrat in 10 Liter warmem Wasser aufschäumen, mit weichem Schwamm von oben nach unten waschen und den Schaum nicht antrocknen lassen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer grobe Schmutz gehört vorher mit Wasser abgespült, und das ist kein optionaler Schritt, sondern dein Kratzerschutz. Loser Sand und Streugut wirken unter dem Schwamm wie Schleifpapier, wer trocken drauflosgeht, reibt sich feine Waschkratzer in den Klarlack. Nimm warmes Wasser, das löst Fett und Straßenfilm spürbar besser als kaltes, und arbeite am besten in der Zwei-Eimer-Methode: ein Eimer mit Schaum, einer mit klarem Wasser zum Ausspülen des Schwamms. Passende Schwämme, Wascheimer und Trockentücher findest du im \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer\"\u003eWaschzubehör\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFür Schaumlanze oder Hochdruckreiniger gibst du das Konzentrat 1:3 bis 1:5 vorverdünnt in den Behälter und beachtest die Vorgaben des Geräteherstellers. Egal ob Eimer oder Lanze, am Ende mit viel klarem Wasser nachspülen und zügig abledern, solange die Fläche noch nass ist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeim Abtrocknen entscheidet sich, ob die Wäsche wirklich fleckenfrei wird. Steht das Spülwasser zu lange, trocknen gelöste Mineralien als Wasserflecken auf, gerade bei hartem Leitungswasser. Zieh das Wasser zügig mit einem sauberen Trockentuch ab, am besten flächig statt mit Druck, damit kein Restschmutz über den Lack schrammt. Die Perlbildung beim letzten Spülgang zeigt dir nebenbei, dass deine Versiegelung die Wäsche überstanden hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003epH-neutral heißt schonend, nicht entschichtend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDas pH-neutrale Konzentrat erhält den vorhandenen Schutz, baut ihn aber weder ab noch auf.

Wenn du den Lack vor einem neuen Coating komplett entschichten willst, brauchst du ein entfettendes Vorbereitungs-Shampoo oder einen Entfetter, der die alten Wachsreste bewusst herunterholt. Ein pH-neutrales Shampoo lässt sie absichtlich stehen. Und ein Löser ist es ohnehin nicht: Eingebrannter Teer, Flugrost oder ein eingetrockneter Insektenpanzer brauchen ein dediziertes Entferner-Produkt vorab.

Wenn du bei jeder Wäsche Glanz und Schutz auffrischen möchtest, greifst du zu einem Versiegelungs-Shampoo aus dem Bereich \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lackversiegelung\"\u003eLackversiegelung\u003c\/a\u003e. Zwei Randbedingungen bleiben in jedem Fall: nicht auf heißen Oberflächen anwenden und nie antrocknen lassen, sonst entstehen Schlieren. Und der Kanister gehört frostfrei gelagert, einmal durchgefroren verändert sich die Tensidstruktur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOb der Schutz noch trägt, prüfst du am einfachsten am Abperlverhalten. Solange das Wasser nach der Wäsche in runden Tropfen abläuft, sitzt die Versiegelung noch. Läuft es dagegen als gleichmäßiger Film flächig ab, ist der Schutz dünn geworden. Das neutrale Shampoo hat ihn dann nicht abgetragen, sondern nur die natürliche Alterung sichtbar gemacht. Genau das ist der Moment für eine Auffrischung, nicht für ein schärferes Shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFür alle, die ihren Schutz über Wochen halten wollen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDas AutoShampoo Konzentrat lohnt sich für jeden, der regelmäßig von Hand wäscht und seine Wachs- oder Keramikschicht über Wochen erhalten will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeniger geeignet ist es für den, der gerade frisch versiegeln will und den Lack vorher blank putzen muss, der ist mit einem entschichtenden Vorbereitungsprodukt besser bedient. Auch wer keinen Schutz auf dem Lack hat und vor allem maximalen Glanz pro Wäsche sucht, fährt mit einem Versiegelungs-Shampoo sichtbarer. Für die ehrliche, wöchentliche Erhaltungswäsche eines gepflegten Autos ist das neutrale Konzentrat dagegen die naheliegende Wahl, und es passt zu jeder weiteren Flasche aus dem Bereich \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/autoshampoo\"\u003eAutoshampoo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFür die Praxis heißt das: einmal pro Woche oder alle zwei Wochen mit dem neutralen Konzentrat waschen hält Lack und Schutz im Gleichgewicht, ohne die Versiegelung zu strapazieren. Erst wenn das Wasser nach der Wäsche nicht mehr abperlt, ist es Zeit, den Schutz mit einer Sprühversiegelung aufzufrischen, nicht früher. So trennst du sauber zwischen Reinigung und Konservierung, statt beides in ein aggressives Kombiprodukt zu zwingen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBei den Gebinden entscheidet die Frequenz. Die 2-Liter-Flasche mit Drehverschluss reicht für ein Fahrzeug rund 40 Wäschen und ist der bequeme Einstieg. Der 5-Liter-Kanister mit Ausgießer rechnet sich ab dem zweiten Auto oder im wöchentlichen Dauerbetrieb, rund 100 Wäschen pro Kanister, einfach in eine Dosierflasche umgefüllt. Beide sind phosphatfrei formuliert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWer mehrere Fahrzeuge pflegt oder im Verein und Fuhrpark wäscht, fährt mit dem 5-Liter-Kanister am günstigsten. Bei rund 50 ml pro Eimer bleibt der Preis pro Wäsche im niedrigen Cent-Bereich, und du dosierst das Konzentrat exakt, statt dass eine fertig angemischte Waschlösung im Kanister Platz wegnimmt. Einmal in eine kleine Dosierflasche umgefüllt, ist die nächste Eimerwäsche in Sekunden angesetzt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Punkt, den die Rückseite nicht verrät: Ein pH-neutrales Shampoo ist die günstigste Lebensverlängerung für deine Versiegelung. Jede Wäsche mit einem scharfen Allzweck- oder Glanz-Shampoo kostet dich ein Stück Standzeit. Mit dem schutzschichtschonenden Konzentrat wäschst du rund 40-mal aus einer 2-Liter-Flasche, ohne den Schutz darunter aufzubrauchen. Am Ende hält die teurere Versiegelung länger als das Shampoo, das sie pflegt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"2 liters","offer_id":57405962191183,"sku":"D1-SNX-03145410","price":10.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57405962223951,"sku":"D1-SNX-03145000","price":49.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-autoshampoo-konzentrat.png?v=1775381476"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-allround-shampoo-autoshampoo","title":"Allround Shampoo Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eWash the paint without stripping wax and sealant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Allround Shampoo?

With a pH of 9.0 it lifts road film, dust and grease and at the same time builds a strong slick film that lets the wash mitt glide over the paint instead of rubbing dirt in.

If you keep dunking the wash mitt into the same cloudy soup, you rub the loosened grit straight back into the paint and pull fine swirls. Grab two buckets, one with shampoo and one with clean rinse water, and don't be stingy with the dose. On a black 3 Series BMW we saw exactly that: fine wash marks in the sun with one bucket, clean paint with two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo buckets full of slick film, and not in the sun\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou add the Allround Shampoo at 15 to 30 millilitres per 5 litres of water in the wash bucket and foam it up with a hard jet of water until you've got dense suds with a slip you can feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash from the top down, because the sills are the dirtiest and go last. Work with a microfibre wash mitt in straight lines and rinse it out in the second bucket after every pass. Then grab the matching \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-microfiber-cloth-edgeless-300gsm-mikrofasertuch\"\u003emicrofibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e to dry while the paint is still wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever wash on hot paint or in full sun, or the shampoo dries on and leaves streaks. As a pre-wash foam you mix about 15 millilitres per 1 litre and let the foam dwell for a moment before you rinse the heavy dirt off with the pressure washer. You'll find all the wash and cleaning products in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waschen-und-reinigen\"\u003eWashing and Cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoad film and dust yes, lime and bugs no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Allround Shampoo reliably lifts the daily road film of dust, exhaust soot and grease, but it's not a specialist cleaner for baked-on or mineral deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts core job is the regular maintenance wash of a well-kept car that goes through a hand wash every week or two and needs to hold its shine. On a coated daily driver the water still beads off after the wash exactly as before, because the shampoo doesn't strip the protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear.

If you want to fully reset a badly neglected paint with lime, tar and old wax in one go, you need acidic and strip-down specialist products. And if you only head through the car wash now and then, you don't need a hand-wash shampoo at all. For the odd freshen-up reach for the acidic Sour Shampoo, for the everyday reach for the Allround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one thing hardly anyone clocks is dosing as scratch protection. Most people skimp on the shampoo and then wonder about wash marks, when it's exactly that slick film from a full dose that lets the grit glide over the paint instead of grinding into it. Better a splash more in the bucket than an hour of polishing at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867611734351,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-AS001000","price":26.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882257097039,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-AS001000_3","price":78.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882257129807,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-AS001000_10","price":263.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-allround-shampoo-autoshampoo.png?v=1780776358"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.pl\/en\/collections\/autoshampoo.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
