Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline. But not for everything.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner has workshop DNA — it's not the right chemistry for delicate interior or coating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt punches above its weight wherever organic dirt dominates: engine oil, gear oil, grease mist in the bay, soot on the workshop floor, brake-dust\/grease mixes in the wheel arches, road grime on commercial-vehicle frames. Bugs and bird droppings also soak off well with the 1:10 dilution before the actual wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the protein and turns a baked-on crust into a layer you can pull off — exactly where pH-neutral products would need you to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Green Star runs out of road is where the pH becomes the problem. On ceramic-coated paint every pass shaves a bit off the top bonding layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars a pH-neutral shampoo or the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodised aluminium, matte aluminium and polished metal you never treat neat and you always patch-test in a hidden spot first. The corrosion inhibitor protects painted aluminium reliably, but on anodised surfaces it starts to struggle. Same goes for non-anodised magnesium rims and race parts — the alkaline side bites into the surface as soon as you push the dwell past two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the cabin Green Star is plainly too aggressive: synthetic leather, Alcantara and coated dashboards don't take alkaline concentrates long-term, not even at 1:50.

Your decision tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping use cases — the choice isn't about price, it's about what you're cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop pick: hard-alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, built for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder follow-up with an optimised surfactant base and lower environmental load — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, it sits alongside it for detailers who work more often on private-customer cars with coatings and less on commercial frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" runs on completely different chemistry: weakly alkaline through to pH-neutral, built for interior, dashboards, carpets and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the buy decision: if the focus is the lift, the engine bay, the workshop floor and commercial-vehicle work, grab the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you mostly detail private-customer cars with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, bug removal and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the cleaner fit. If you're after a cleaner for interior, carpet and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — that's where the Mzr lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the 11-kilo Green Star plus a 1-litre Mzr covers most of the actual workload: Gs for the whole exterior, the engine bay and floor cleans, Mzr for the interior. If you've got three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — this two-product setup halves the chemical cabinet and still cleans tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePack size tracks monthly throughput. The 1000-millilitre spray head is for the home detailer and the first test drive, not a working shop.

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

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

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

The logic is simple: clean gently and often rather than aggressively and rarely. If you make the wash a fixed weekly habit, the Gsf takes you furthest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less of a fit for body shops, seasonal cars coming off a long lay-up, or the spring clean after winter — there active foams with a higher pH have the edge, because the dirt is long past what the Gsf can dissolve. And if you don't own a foam lance and only run a pressure sprayer, the Gsf will give you foam, but never the consistency and dwell time of a proper lance on a pressure washer. For that case a spray-on pre-cleaner makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre bottle covers around 50 washes, the 5-litre can 250. If you look after more than one car or work in a detailing studio, the 5-litre container runs about 30 percent cheaper per wash. Pair it with a pH-neutral shampoo like the Koch-Chemie Nanomagic Shampoo or GYEON Q² Bathe+ for the two-bucket wash, and a drying towel to finish, and you've got the full weekly workflow for a well-kept car — from the first jet of water to the last drop, without ever attacking your coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature cherry scent is a matter of taste, but it rarely divides opinion — most detailers find it a lot more pleasant than the soapy standard smell of many competitor products. In closed garages or wash bays the smell doesn't linger after rinsing, which is a handy detail in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst time you run the Gsf, don't be stingy with the dose. 20 ml per litre is the floor for a visible foam blanket. On really dirty cars or with hard tap water, go a pump higher. The extra 4–5 cents a wash is nothing next to a weaker result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame goes for the water pressure at the washer: under 100 bar the foam stays thin; from 130 bar it turns creamy and sits thick on the paint. Running a Kärcher K7 or similar, you can crank the lance to maximum foam output. With portable battery washers the foam comes out noticeably flatter — not a product fault, just a question of pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more tip from what we see at Detailing1: before each seasonal wash in spring and autumn, swap the Gsf for an active-foam wash with Green Star. That way no pollen film and no winter salt gets a foothold — the kind the pH-neutral foam can't shift over time. The other 50 weeks of the year, the Gsf runs as your standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStick to that routine properly and even a 5-year-old coating still beads visibly — and that's exactly the point of pH-neutral care: keeping what you've got instead of constantly re-applying the coating. The pricier line in any detailing budget is always the coating itself, not the shampoo. With the Gsf you stretch the life of the coating — at minimal running cost and maximum compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_lineup_71190d38-c132-4a2c-b491-318ab5c6d172.png?v=1778657758\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – 1000 ml bottle and 5 L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494571192655,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001","price":13.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693842255,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693875023,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48494571225423,"sku":"D1-KCX-383005","price":55.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_bef958d2-c483-4332-ab33-56ecc2f968ac.png?v=1778623445"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-autoshampoo-as-auto-shampoo","title":"Autoshampoo \"As\" Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eWeekly hand washing with no wax or sealant loss, thanks to Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\"?

Here's why: your pressure washer dilutes the mix again at the nozzle — usually by a factor of 15 to 25, depending on flow rate. That's the so-called Panel Impact Ratio, PIR for short. Quick bucket test: spray 1 litre of water through the lance, then measure the total water in the bucket. If 20 litres come out, your machine has a PIR factor of 1:20 — so you only need a pre-dilution of 1:5 in the lance to land the VDA-compliant 1:100 on the paint. And don't work in the sun, don't let it dry on, or even the best maths won't save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam cannon, pre-diluted 1:10, three minutes' dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic application goes like this: car in the shade, paint dry or pre-rinsed, hook the foam cannon up to the pressure washer, pre-dilute the concentrate somewhere between 1:10 (winter, salt, baked-on brake dust) and 1:50 (summer, pollen, city grime) with warm water, and spray bottom to top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet it dwell three to five minutes, then start at the top with the pressure washer and work down. Unlike the compressed-air pump sprayer — where the mix in the bottle is exactly the mix that hits the paint — the pressure washer adds water at the nozzle. In the pump sprayer the realistic dilution sits at 1:20 to 1:50, with no PIR effect, and the dwell time should run one to three minutes at most, or the foam dries on. The denser foam from the lance hangs longer, stays wet, and gives you the full five-minute window the VDA defines for Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bucket you dose 1:300 — about 35 ml to 10 litres — and work with the microfibre mitt like you would with a regular shampoo. The upside over a classic pH-neutral car shampoo: the alkalinity breaks down baked-on summer grime and pollen film better. The downside: every contact wash with Af strips a little wax. If you're running a sealant, switch the contact phase over to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf\u003c\/a\u003e, which is certified wax-safe at pH 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we see day-to-day: the most common beginner mistake isn't the dilution, it's rinsing from too close. High pressure from 30 to 40 centimetres is plenty — get the nozzle in to 5 centimetres and you mechanically grind pollen and sand into the clear coat instead of washing them away. The foam has done its job; now the water jet should only carry things off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ANWENDUNG: Daniel mit Schaumkanone an Auto, dichter Sandelholz-Schaum auf Lack — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_anwendung.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCarnauba gives way. Ceramic doesn't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 9.5, Active Foam Af is clearly more alkaline than a classic pH-neutral shampoo, but moderate next to Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, which runs at pH 13 and tears wax down on contact. On intact ceramic coatings (SiO2, often pH-stable from 2 to 13) Af is harmless — plenty of detailers even reach for it deliberately to lift the traffic film that masks the coating's hydrophobic behaviour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith carnauba waxes it's a different story. A rare, correctly diluted pre-wash inside the VDA window won't strip the wax. But stand at the foam cannon with Af every single week and you'll break down the protective layer measurably faster than with a pH-neutral foam. The day-to-day rule: sealant younger than three months plus a weekly wash, then hands off Af and switch to the Gentle Snow Foam. Sealant refreshed every six months, or a ceramic coating, and Af makes a sensible deep pre-wash between your maintenance washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Af also won't shift: deep-set mineral water spots — for those the acidic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo Rs\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call, because it pulls limescale plugs out of the coating's pores. Baked-on bugs are too much for the foam as well. There you grab a dedicated bug remover locally, or the highly alkaline \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e from the green line. Active Foam is an excellent pre-cleaner, not a specialist for every kind of dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ERGEBNIS: Lack mit Wassersaitenmuster nach Spülung, sauber und matt-feucht glänzend — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_ergebnis.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailers, car washes and ambitious home users\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive Foam Af comes out of Koch-Chemie's pro range in Unna, yellow-coded like all the wash-chemistry products and available in pack sizes up to the 210 kg barrel. In rollover washes and self-service bays Af is an industry standard, because the thick foam visually signals a premium wash and the sandalwood scent works as an argument for higher programme prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the home user, Af pays off once the foam cannon is already hanging off a strong enough pressure washer — you have to physically work out the PIR once yourself, because every pump draws differently. The 1-litre bottle is the easy way in for a single car and lasts about three to four months on a fortnightly pre-wash. The 10 kg drum starts to pay from the second car on, or in the detailing hobby, because the per-litre price drops noticeably and you just decant the concentrate into an empty spray bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetailers and workshops usually reach for the 21 kg or 210 kg pack, because at 3 to 8 millilitres of usage per car in a rollover system the unit cost runs towards nothing. The 210 kg barrel goes out by freight forwarder with us — and yes, Active Foam is phosphate- and NTA-free, so it's cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is a must for commercial wash lines on a closed water loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've moved into a sealant routine and mainly want to hold the hydrophobic effect, switch your maintenance wash to the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eGentle Snow Foam\u003c\/a\u003e and only pull the Active Foam out every few weeks for the deep pre-wash. If you keep an older car clean of everyday grime and have no wax layer to protect, you're better off with Af as your standard pre-cleaner than with any milder foam. In the current spring trend, where pollen and Sahara dust are measurably driving searches for car foam cleaner in the DACH region versus last year, this pre-wash logic matters more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe the most important Detailing1 note to finish on: the sandalwood scent isn't a marketing gimmick. Highly concentrated anionic surfactants smell sharp and biting on their own — the scent is an odour binder that makes working in enclosed spaces bearable. The fact that customers at wash lines link the smell with cleanliness and premium care and accept higher programme prices is the economic bonus layer on top. For your own garage it mainly means: ventilate well, don't work in a closed hall with no fresh air, and always label the spray bottle with its contents once you've decanted the concentrate from the 10 kg drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 LINEUP: Active Foam 1L + 10kg Kanister + Schaumkanone als Workflow-Stillleben — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_lineup.png --\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":49515049288015,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001","price":9.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":18.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":27.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":48.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":98.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":959.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum.png?v=1726400580"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-aktivwaesche-aw-aktiv-shampoo","title":"Aktivwäsche \"Aw\" Active Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eAktivwäsche Aw works in the tunnel, in the lance and in the bucket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche Aw?

Overdose it and you get a sticky dry residue on the paint, not better gloss. 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is the mark where micelle formation runs clean: at that concentration the surfactant molecules form little foam spheres that capsule the dirt and carry it off when you rinse. Lukewarm water instead of cold speeds up the surfactant work without tipping the dry time. More is counterproductive, less doesn't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e50 millilitres to 10 litres of water. Then Aw works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw runs on three clear dose rates, and which one you need comes down to the workflow, not taste. In the roll-over wash system, 3 to 7 millilitres per car go straight through the dosing pump into the water concentrate. In the foam lance you mix the concentrate in the supply tank at 1:10 to 1:30. In the hand bucket, 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is enough — that's the 1:200 dilution Koch-Chemie lists on every product data sheet for the Aktivwäsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the first bucket, you roll the car into the shade and let it cool down. Aw flashes off on hot paint within seconds, and the dry residue is a pain to rinse off afterwards. Loose grit comes off first with the pressure washer — sand and brake dust have no business in your wash mitt. Then two \u003ca href=\"\/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. If you're parked privately in the driveway, Aw is the wrong product legally — no judgement, just the legal frame you should know before you crack the canister open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" — clean paint after the wash' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw is a concentrate for detailers and wash-system operators.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw is built for three types of user. Professional detailers who need a reliable paint pre-clean between polishing stations and sealing work, without the next week's coating layer getting attacked. Wash-system operators and fleet managers who have to cost it out at cents per vehicle and still want VDA Class A. And hobby pros with a workshop streak who work at the self-service bay or with their own lift and want one concentrate to last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw is less of a fit for the classic Sunday washer in the driveway — both practically (dry time too short, uncontrollable without shade) and legally (Water Resources Act). If you're allowed to wash privately in the driveway because your local bylaw permits it in your area, check the local rules — they aren't uniform, they differ by state and municipality. When in doubt, take the wash to a self-service bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kg canister is the entry point for professional detailers with a single site. At one hand wash of a single vehicle a week, the container lasts around four years — in practice that means the concentrate rarely runs out, it ages first. The 21 kg keg pays off from the second detailing site or at higher workload. The 210 kg container is the wash-system size for tunnels with three-digit daily throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw isn't a wow-gloss shampoo. It's the tool that preps the paint right on the mark for the next layer — whether that's a coating, a hot wax or simply clean dryness. Use Aw and put nothing on afterwards, and you're leaving performance on the table. That's pro logic: get it properly clean first, then put down exactly what you want.

The pH of 12.5 in the concentrate saponifies fats and oils through alkaline hydrolysis — something pH-neutral cleaners simply can't do chemically. Dilute it 1:10 and you sit around pH 11, which is plenty for most interior surfaces in the car.

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

This wax component is not intended as a substitute for a full sealant, but it provides effective basic protection between regular maintenance intervals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH-Neutral Formula for Paint-Friendly Use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Acidic or strongly alkaline detergents attack existing wax layers and sealants, significantly reducing their effective duration. The XTREME 2-in-1 Shampoo is formulated to be pH-neutral, so existing paint protection is not destroyed — an important feature for anyone who maintains their vehicle under a sealant or coating and does not want to thin out the protective layer with every wash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Concentrated — Economical Dosing for Many Washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The shampoo is formulated as a concentrate, used in small amounts per wash.

Cheap 2-in-1 products often contain so little wax component that the protective effect is hardly measurable. 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. This self-cleaning effect is the most visible proof that the 2-in-1 formula actually works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For optimal results, the two-bucket method is recommended: fill one bucket with shampoo water, and a second with clear rinse water. 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 \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses this point: a pre-wash with dense, long-lasting foam loosens road film, insect residues, and loose dirt from the surface before the first contact wash begins.

This two-stage approach significantly reduces dirt introduction during contact washing. In summer or in direct sunlight, shorten the dwell time, otherwise the product may dry on hot paintwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRich-Foam Formula and Foam Technology — Why Dense Foam Is More Than Just a Visual Feature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoam in the washing process is often considered a purely optical effect — a lot of foam looks professional, but does it really do more? 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.

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.

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.

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.

The micro-active surfactants require water as a carrier medium to fully unfold their cleaning effect. Work the cleaner in with a very soft wash mitt or a dedicated film washing cloth — sponges with a coarse texture are unsuitable for films. For stubborn insect residues, let the cleaner sit briefly (30–60 seconds) before working it in. Rinse thoroughly after washing and do not let it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMicro-active surfactant technology — how the film cleaner removes dirt without damaging the film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the performance of XTREME Film Cleaner lies in the selection of the surfactant combination. Surfactants are the active cleaning molecules in detergents and cleaners — they have a water-loving (hydrophilic) and a fat-loving (hydrophobic) molecular component, which allows them to dissolve dirt and grease from the substrate and suspend it in the water phase. With film cleaners, however, it's not just about removing dirt, but about doing so without damaging the film coating. This is a more challenging task than cleaning clear coat because films are more sensitive to chemical influences: solvents can dissolve film adhesives, acids attack matte surfaces and change their reflectance, and incorrect pH values can soften adhesive seams. The micro-active surfactant combination in XTREME Film Cleaner is tailored to these requirements: the molecular structure is chosen to develop a strong cleaning effect without reacting with the film materials themselves. In practice, this means: no matting effects on gloss films, no dissolution of adhesive seams, and no premature detachment at edges and overlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"micro-active\" describes the particularly fine distribution of surfactant molecules in the formulation. Due to their small molecular size, the surfactants penetrate deep into dirt layers and dissolve even dried-on insect residues and baked-on bird droppings without the need for mechanical force. This is particularly important for films: strong rubbing and scrubbing, which would be tolerated on a clear coat, can create fine scratches on films or permanently impair the self-healing effect of PPF. Gentle chemistry replaces mechanical force — that's the principle on which film cleaning is based. Another advantage of the solvent-free formulation: the product is suitable for enclosed spaces and car washes with limited ventilation without exceeding VOC (volatile organic compounds) limits. This is a relevant factor for professional detailers working in workshop areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte paints and matte films place special demands on cleaning chemistry. The matte appearance is created by a microstructured surface that diffusely scatters incident light instead of reflecting it. Any chemical compound that changes this microstructure — by dissolving, filling, or chemical reaction — alters the degree of matte and creates uneven glossy areas. Wax-containing products and silicon-based sealants are therefore unsuitable for matte films. XTREME Film Cleaner contains no waxy components and does not affect the surface structure — it cleans residue-free without changing the matte character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrectly applying XTREME Film Cleaner — the optimal washing workflow for foiled vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA foiled vehicle requires a different washing workflow than a painted one. The most important basic rule: always start with a pre-wash step that rinses off loose dirt before any cloth or glove touches the surface. Dry sand, brake dust, or coarse dirt particles rubbed over the film can create micro-scratches that are particularly noticeable on matte films and cannot be reversed. A high-pressure cleaner with a distance of 20–30 cm is ideal for the pre-rinse; alternatively, a strong water hose is sufficient to loosen loose dirt. Only after this pre-rinse should the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication during washing is deliberately kept simple: turn the spray nozzle to the spray setting, generously spray the cleaner onto the wet film, let it sit briefly, and work it in evenly with a soft film washing cloth or microfiber mitt. It is important to always work flat and with light pressure — no circular movements, no force application on stubborn areas. If insect residues or bird droppings do not soften immediately, allow a little more dwell time instead of using more pressure. Rinse thoroughly after working it in. The product must not dry — on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight, the product can form residues that are difficult to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical workflow for a fully foiled vehicle looks like this: pre-rinse with a high-pressure cleaner or strong jet of water, then pre-wash the roof, trunk, and sides with XTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo or a film-compatible shampoo, and in parallel, specifically treat particularly dirty areas — front bumper, hood, sills — with XTREME Film Cleaner. The combination of shampoo for basic cleaning and the special cleaner for problem areas is particularly effective on foiled vehicles because the micro-active surfactant formula has a significantly stronger effect on stubborn organic contaminants (insects, bird droppings) than a regular shampoo. After washing, for the best optical effect, the vehicle should be post-treated with a film-compatible detailer — such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foliendetailer-quick-detailer-folieru\"\u003eXTREME Film Detailer Quick-Detailer for Foiling\u003c\/a\u003e, which adds shine and beading effect to the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication areas — PPF, Vinyl, Matte Paint, and everything in between\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world of foiling is diverse, and XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for the entire spectrum. PPF (Paint Protection Film) is the most technically demanding film variant: these transparent protective films have a self-healing polyurethane surface and are sensitive to alcohol- and solvent-based cleaners, which can permanently damage the self-healing effect. The solvent-free formulation of XTREME Film Cleaner is explicitly harmless for PPF — it cleans the surface without penetrating the polyurethane structure. Vinyl films are the most common material for full wraps and partial wraps. They are more robust than PPF, but also sensitive to acids and solvents. Particular caution is required with transparent and light-colored vinyl films, which show discoloration from incorrect chemicals much more visibly than dark colors. Here, too, the XTREME Film Cleaner formulation is designed for material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory matte finishes are another category that requires special care. Manufacturers such as BMW, Porsche, and Audi have been offering matte paint as a special finish for years — and these are extremely care-intensive. Normal waxes and polishes are taboo because they change the matte structure. XTREME Film Cleaner can also be used without hesitation on these factory matte paints, as it is free of waxy components and does not change the microstructure of the paint. Another area of application is partial wraps — i.e., vehicles where only certain areas are foiled (mirrors, roof frames, spoiler lips, A-pillars). Here, the cleaner must work on both the foiled surface and the adjacent clear coat without creating visible transitions. The film-compatible chemistry of the cleaner can also be used on clear coat without problems, which makes partial wraps particularly easy to treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso in the commercial sector — at foiling companies and detailers — the cleaner is suitable for final cleaning after a fresh foiling. After a new foiling, adhesive residues, fingerprints, and positioning marks are found on the film, which must be removed. XTREME Film Cleaner gently removes these residues without stressing the foiling, which is only a few days old and whose adhesive has yet to fully bond with the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFilm cleaner comparison — special cleaner vs. normal shampoo vs. professional care with ceramic sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common question when buying a film cleaner: Isn't a normal car shampoo enough? The answer depends on the type of film and the degree of contamination. For moderately dirty foils with a slight dust film and water spots, a pH-neutral shampoo is certainly suitable. However, as soon as insect residues, baked-on bird droppings, or brake dust film are on the film, a normal shampoo reaches its limits — the cleaning power is simply not enough to dissolve these protein-based and iron-containing deposits. XTREME Film Cleaner is the significantly more effective tool in precisely these situations. It dissolves where a shampoo only wipes. The alternative — rubbing longer and harder with shampoo — is not a good option for films, because mechanical stress does more harm than a stronger cleaner. If you have the choice between more chemistry and more mechanics for films, you should always prefer the chemical solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with a universal car care cleaner shows another difference: many all-rounders contain wax components, silicones or polymers, which provide gloss effects on painted vehicles, but leave unwanted spots or shiny areas on matte films. XTREME Film Cleaner does not contain these additives — it cleans without residues and leaves the sealing to a separate care product, which can then be specifically chosen for the type of film. After cleaning with XTREME Film Cleaner, the XTREME Film Detailer can be applied to gloss films, and for professional long-term protection on PPF and vinyl, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-vinyl-ppf-folien\"\u003ePROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Vinyl+PPF Film Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e with up to 24 months durability is recommended. This combination — XTREME Film Cleaner for regular cleaning, ceramic sealant for long-term protection — is the most professional approach to film care and maximizes both the optical effect and the durability of the foiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of comparison is hand car wash vs. automatic car wash. Foiled vehicles should generally not be cleaned in automatic portal car washes — the brushes can damage films, and the cleaners used there are optimized for clear coat surfaces, not for films. XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for manual hand washing and completely replaces car wash visits for foiled vehicles. Anyone who regularly washes their vehicle by hand and uses the right cleaner will achieve optimal results over a long period of time and prevent the typical washing damage that occurs in automatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying recommendation — for whom XTREME Film Cleaner is the first choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential equipment for every foiled vehicle — a must, not an option. Anyone who owns a foiled vehicle and washes it with normal car care products risks damage over time that is expensive to repair: lightened matte areas, swollen film edges, adhesive residues under the film. A specific film cleaner costs a few euros and protects an investment that, depending on the foiling, ranges from a few hundred to several thousand euros. The price-performance ratio is excellent: a 750 ml bottle, with economical dosing, is sufficient for many washes, as the cleaner is only used concentrated on particularly dirty areas, and a normal film-compatible shampoo is sufficient for the basic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of vehicles with PPF film, the cleaner is particularly important because PPF can be permanently impaired in its self-healing properties by incorrect care. Full PPF foiling can quickly cost 3,000 to 6,000 euros or more — a care expense of 10 euros per cleaner is an absolutely justified investment in value retention here. For businesses — foiling workshops, car detailers, dealers with foiled vehicle inventories — XTREME Film Cleaner is a tool that is used daily and quickly proves its worth. The simple spray application directly in the washing process saves time compared to multi-stage cleaning processes and delivers consistent results. For the best overall result, it is recommended to use the film cleaner as part of a complete film care workflow: pre-rinse, XTREME Film Cleaner for problem areas, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for basic cleaning, drying with a suitable drying cloth, and subsequent care with the XTREME Film Detailer. This workflow keeps a foiled vehicle in optimal condition long-term and protects the foiling throughout its entire lifespan. At Detailing1, XTREME Film Cleaner is available together with suitable film care accessories — from the right brush to washing cloths and further sealants for professional long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160886911311,"sku":"D1-SNX-03994000","price":6.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-FolienReiniger-Spezialreiniger-fur-Fo-8.png?v=1721514236"},{"product_id":"carpro-descale-acidic-car-shampoo-anti-kalk-autoshampoo","title":"\"Descale\" Acidic Car Shampoo Anti-Limescale Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCarPro Descale Acidic Car Shampoo Anti-Limescale Car Shampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarPro Descale is a special \u003cstrong\u003eacidic car shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e that effectively tackles stubborn dirt and limescale deposits.

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. For that, a neutral prep shampoo with no care component is the right choice, otherwise the prep work was for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_ergebnis.png?v=1778625636\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant beading effect on paint loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Ces pays off for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces is the right call for car owners who wash every 1–2 weeks, want a clean finish, but don't want to wax or coat on a regular basis. You put in 20–30 minutes per wash and get a result that comes surprisingly close to a heavily polished show car — without the polishing step. Especially relevant for high-mileage city drivers, commuters with an underground parking spot, and anyone with a coated car who wants to actively extend its lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess suited is the Ces for workshops and detailers where pure cleaning power is the priority. For that, the Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche AW is the stronger pick, because the Ces hits its limits faster with deeply worked-in brake dust and bug splatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete wash workflow for this crowd it looks like this: pre-rinse with a pressure washer, snow foam for the pre-clean if needed, then a two-bucket wash with the Ces. After that, take it off section by section with the \u003ca href=\"\/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.

The formula is compatible with most common vehicle surfaces — paint, plastic, rubber, metal, and textile react well to the universal cleaner when properly diluted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge containers up to 200 liters for economical professional use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Available container sizes range from 1 liter for small businesses and occasional users to 200-liter drums for large operations and car washes. The price per liter significantly decreases with increasing container size, making MultiStar particularly attractive for businesses that use large quantities of cleaner daily. The concentrate concept also significantly reduces transport weight and storage space requirements compared to ready-to-use cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For effective use, we recommend keeping MultiStar in labeled spray bottles at various dilutions — e.g., 1:10 for engine compartments and rims, 1:30 for general exterior cleaning, 1:50 for interiors. This ensures the correct concentration is always at hand without having to mix new batches every time. Do not use on painted surfaces in direct sunlight or on very hot surfaces — rapid drying of alkaline cleaners can leave streaks. For acid-resistant dirt (lime, mineral residues), \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-acid-kraftreiniger-sauer\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Acid\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice, as alkaline cleaners cannot perform acidic dissolution reactions. Always rinse thoroughly to remove cleaning residues — especially on paint and rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate technology — why dilution makes MultiStar so flexible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate concept of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a decisive economic and logistical advantage over ready-to-use cleaners: The cleaning substances (surfactants, alkalis, builders) are supplied in highly concentrated form and only diluted with water at the point of use. This means that a 1-liter concentrate container holds the cleaning substance for 50–100 liters of ready-to-use cleaner — a 1-liter concentrate container has the same cleaning value as a 50-liter container of ready-to-use cleaner, but transports only a fraction of the weight and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alkaline action of MultiStar is based on two mechanisms: First, the alkaline pH value (typically pH 9–11 in the concentrate) increases the solubility of organic fat molecules — fats and oils are saponified in an alkaline environment, making them water-soluble and easier to wipe off. Second, the surfactants encapsulate dirt particles through micelle formation and suspend them in the aqueous cleaning solution, so they are carried away with the water during rinsing. This combination is very effective against most organic vehicle contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dilution flexibility allows the same basic cleaner to be used for very different cleaning intensities: In the engine compartment, where stubborn oil and grease are to be removed from hard, heat-resistant surfaces, a strong concentration (1:5) is appropriate and the surfaces tolerate the higher alkalinity. For the vehicle interior, where sensitive plastics, textiles, and Alcantara are treated, a strong dilution (1:50 or more) is necessary to avoid surface damage. The correct ratio is the critical operating skill — too diluted, the cleaner will not be sufficiently effective; too little diluted, it can attack surfaces or leave residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that use MultiStar in foam lances or high-pressure cleaners, the foaming tendency is relevant: MultiStar foams evenly and adheres well in the foam pre-wash mode when properly diluted and applied, which extends the dwell time on dirty surfaces and improves cleaning performance. Foam consistency can be adjusted by dilution and the use of suitable foam lance nozzles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying MultiStar correctly — dilution ratios for every area of use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of MultiStar concentrate begins with the correct dilution rate for the respective area of use. For engine washing and heavy exterior dirt: Dilution 1:5 to 1:10 (10–20% concentrate) — spray directly onto the soiled area, allow to dwell for 2–3 minutes, without letting it dry, then rinse with water. For rim cleaning and underbody washing: Dilution 1:10 to 1:20 (5–10% concentrate) — similar application method as for engine washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general vehicle cleaning and pre-cleaning: Dilution 1:20 to 1:50 (2–5% concentrate) — suitable as a foam lance pre-cleaner or for hand washing with a sponge. This dilution is gentle on paintwork and plastic surfaces and leaves no damaging alkaline residues. For interior cleaning and textiles: Dilution 1:50 to 1:100 (1–2% concentrate) — particularly gentle on sensitive surfaces; always test on an inconspicuous area before widespread use on Alcantara or sensitive coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant application notes: Always dilute MultiStar freshly and do not store diluted solutions in spray bottles for long, as diluted alkaline solutions can lose effectiveness over time and become unusable due to germ growth. When working with undiluted concentrate, ensure skin and eye protection — highly concentrated alkaline solutions can cause skin irritation. Store the concentrate itself in dry, cool conditions — in its undiluted state, the concentrate remains stable for several years with proper storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for MultiStar — when the universal cleaner is the most efficient solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly efficient in businesses that want to cover a wide range of cleaning tasks with a single product. Detailing businesses with diverse vehicle types (cars, vans, trucks) appreciate the flexibility: A single concentrate unit can be used for the engine compartment of a van, the interior cleaning of a car, and the pre-cleaning of a truck — each with the appropriate dilution. Stockkeeping is simplified, and the ordering process becomes more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleet managers and fleet care centers with regular cleaning intervals particularly benefit from the large containers: The 25-liter or 60-liter container allows for continuous supply without frequent reorders, and the more favorable pricing scale for large containers reduces cleaning costs per vehicle. The 200-liter drum size is designed for central cleaning systems where the cleaner is fed directly into machines or foam generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to specialized cleaners like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-alkaline-vorreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Alkaline\u003c\/a\u003e — which was developed as an optimized pre-cleaner for cold foam pre-wash — MultiStar offers a broader dilution spectrum and more areas of application, but consequently less specialization in the pre-wash area. Those who exclusively do pre-washing are better served with MultiClean Alkaline; those who are looking for a single cleaner for all tasks are optimally equipped with MultiStar concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiStar in comparison — universal cleaner vs. specialized cleaner in professional operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of whether a universal cleaner concentrate like MultiStar or a range of specialized cleaners is the better choice depends on the operational structure. A universal cleaner offers simplicity, cost savings through large containers, and flexibility — ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that do not want to cover every cleaning task with a specialized product. For particularly demanding cleaning tasks (lime removal → acidic cleaner, rims with heavy iron particle contamination → dedicated rim cleaner, sensitive displays → SensitiveSurface Detailer), specialized products are clearly superior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA proven strategy in well-equipped detailing businesses is a combination: MultiStar as the basic universal cleaner for 80% of all daily cleaning tasks, supplemented by one to three specialized products for applications where the universal cleaner is insufficient. This concept maximizes economic efficiency (one main product in large containers) while simultaneously providing optimal cleaning performance for specific requirements. The combination of MultiStar + MultiClean Acid + dedicated rim cleaner, for example, fully covers the entire spectrum of alkaline and acidic cleaning requirements in the vehicle sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to universal cleaners from other manufacturers, SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar offers the advantage of proven system compatibility with other PROFILINE products and a professional formulation designed for the specific requirements of the vehicle segment. Household universal cleaners are often optimized for other surfaces (floors, glass) and can leave residues or streaks on vehicle paint and sensitive plastics. The PROFILINE concentrate is tested for vehicle applications and certified for its compatibility with vehicle surfaces accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar — containers, pricing, and business recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 1 liter, 5 liter, 10 liter, 25 liter, 60 liter, and 200 liter sizes. For individual users and small businesses, the 1-liter container offers a manageable entry size — the concentrate is economical, and one liter covers several weeks or months for a small business. The 5-liter container is the most economical standard size for medium-sized businesses, while the 25-liter canister is the preferred option for larger businesses with daily demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pricing scale between the 1-liter and 60-liter containers is significant — the price per 100 ml of concentrate is considerably lower for the 60-liter container than for the 1-liter container. For car washes and fleet maintenance that use several liters of cleaner daily, the investment in the large container quickly pays for itself. The 200-liter drum is designed for industrial cleaning systems and central supply installations where the cleaner is fed directly into dosing pumps or automatic mixing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar is the most economical choice for businesses seeking a reliable, versatile universal cleaner of professional quality. Its concentrate concept, broad dilution flexibility, and availability in large containers make it the ideal basic cleaner in the PROFILINE range — supplemented by specialized products for particular cleaning requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53505896055119,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410","price":8.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53505896087887,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410_2","price":16.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53505896120655,"sku":"D1-SNX-6273410_3","price":24.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53505896153423,"sku":"D1-SNX-6275050","price":34.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":53505904017743,"sku":"D1-SNX-6276000","price":60.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 liters","offer_id":53505904050511,"sku":"D1-SNX-6277050","price":149.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"60 liters","offer_id":53505904083279,"sku":"D1-SNX-6278000","price":510.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":53505904116047,"sku":"D1-SNX-6279000","price":1582.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-multistar-all-purpose-cleaner-universalreiniger.png?v=1730463356"},{"product_id":"meguiars-ultimate-snow-foam-xtreme-cling-wash","title":"Ultimate Snow Foam Xtreme Cling Wash Cleaning Foam","description":"\u003ch2\u003eContactless Paint Protection Before Washing – Meguiar's Ultimate Snow Foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy use Snow Foam before washing your car?

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

The basic formula is based on gentle surfactants that clean efficiently without attacking paint or sealants.

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. Matte paints\/wraps remain more matte because the shampoo works without \"wet shine overload\"; on high-gloss surfaces, the effect appears as a calm, deep shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomotive – Hand wash, dosage \u0026amp; compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive\u003c\/strong\u003e hand washing works best in a structured process: Pre-cleaning with TropicSnow and InsectOff, wheels separately with WheelKing, then the two-bucket wash with THE FINISHER MagicShampoo Care Shampoo. Method: in the shade, cool surface, dose shampoo according to manufacturer's instructions, lather in the bucket and wash from top to bottom. The high lubrication film keeps the mitt gliding smoothly; dirt is safely rinsed away before you tackle the next section. After thorough rinsing, dry with a clean cloth. For extra pop, you can \"boost\" the wet surface with BodyGuard or use JustPerfect after drying – both complement the smoothness refreshed during washing. MagicShampoo is compatible with waxes, spray sealants, and ceramic coatings; it maintains protection instead of stripping it. For sensitive areas like piano lacquer strips, always use a fresh side of the cloth, never \"rub\" in circles – the gliding effect unfolds best in a clean cross-hatch pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarine – Gelcoat shine, salt film \u0026amp; easy-to-clean on the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarine\u003c\/strong\u003e surfaces quickly look dull after a salty outing.

Work in the shade, don't let anything dry, and rinse generously. For vinyl upholstery, the routine remains separate (VinylTexClean + VinylGuard); for windows, use SeaYou.
