A silicone oil-free rubber and plastic care product for vehicle interiors that darkens floor mats, pedal rubbers, and cargo area linings to a satin finish without leaving a slippery surface.

Because the formulation contains no silicone oils, the treated surface remains grippy—a crucial point for pedal rubbers and floor mats, where slipperiness is not a cosmetic problem but a safety risk. After treatment, the mats appear fresh and dark, without the typical plastic sheen of cheap cockpit sprays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_hero.png?v=1776195706\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix Guf in the warehouse entrance with dirty rubber mat\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free and therefore non-slip.\u003c\/strong\u003e Commercial silicone oil-based cockpit sprays leave a smooth film on rubber floor mats. When braking, the foot slides on the mat, and the shoe loses grip on the pedal rubber. Gummifix works without silicone oils and maintains the natural grip structure of the surface—the difference is noticeable in the first emergency stop, not just measurable in the lab.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin-matte darkening instead of plastic sheen.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formulation refreshes color depth and structure without lacquering the surface. Rubber mats look like they did the day they were bought, plastic footwells appear fresh instead of reflective. This is the look workshops and detailers use for used cars before sales photos are taken—enhancing without overdoing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne liter is enough for 20 to 30 sets of mats.\u003c\/strong\u003e For a complete set of four mats, you need 30 to 50 ml of product. The 1-liter canister thus covers one to two years of regular care, while the 10-liter canister is the industry standard for workshops and fleet operations. Approximately €0.35 in material costs per mat set from the 1-liter container—and even significantly less from the 10-liter canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with Gummifix is applying it too thickly. The product does not penetrate the surface like a coating; it dries on it—too much material means a greasy film instead of satin-matte depth. Spray a thin mist, spread evenly with a microfiber cloth, and let it dry completely for at least 30 minutes before returning the mats to the car. If you put the mats back wet, you'll get exactly the slippery surface that the silicone-free formula is supposed to prevent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClean mat. Thin layer. 30 minutes drying.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGummifix is sprayed or applied with a sponge onto a clean, dry surface—not on damp or freshly shampooed rubber. Residual moisture dilutes the product and prevents uniform absorption by the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore treatment, remove the mats from the car, shake them out, degrease them with APC or a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kunststoffpflege\"\u003eplastic cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, and rinse them thoroughly. Only when the surface is visibly clean and dry does treatment make sense. Eight to ten sprays per mat, spread briefly with a microfiber cloth—for heavy soiling, it's better to treat it thinly twice than thickly once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same logic applies to pedal rubbers on a smaller scale: three to four sprays per pedal, spread with a fingertip on a microfiber cloth, and let it air dry. Most pedal rubbers have a fine profile that quickly clogs with dust and rubber abrasion—here, Gummifix not only enhances the color but also cleans as it's spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying time is the adjustable parameter most often skipped. At 20 °C room temperature, complete airing takes 30 to 60 minutes; it's faster in the summer sun and significantly longer in a cold garage in winter. As a rule of thumb: if the mat no longer feels damp to the touch and doesn't leave a film on your glove, it can go back into the car. When in doubt, air it for an hour longer, not five minutes shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking directly from the 1-liter canister is possible but too imprecise for fine pedal rubbers or seat consoles. A spray bottle with a fine-mist adjustable head makes the difference between precise dosing and soaking—especially since pedal rubbers are small areas that can easily receive too much product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_anwendung.png?v=1776198289\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix with spray head Star is sprayed onto a rubber floor mat\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMats and pedals yes. Dashboard no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core application area for Gummifix is horizontal surfaces in the footwell and cargo area: rubber floor mats, plastic footwells, pedal rubbers, cargo area linings, and door sill trims. On these surfaces, the satin-matte darkening shows its strengths—a fresh look without the artificial shine that looks unnatural in the footwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product also works reliably on rubber seals, door rubbers, and trunk seals—it keeps the seals supple and prevents hairline cracks due to drying out, especially after UV exposure in summer. Applying it to the seals once per season is sufficient, twice a year is enough for vehicles that are often parked outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, Gummifix is not the first choice for tire sidewalls and permanently weathered exterior rubber parts—the durability under weather conditions is about two to three washes, then the product starts to wash off. For tires, there are dedicated tire care products with longer durability and UV protection, and for exterior plastics such as bumper attachments or wheel arch covers, we have \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-plast-star-pss-premium-kunststoffpflege-siliconoelfrei\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Plast Star\u003c\/a\u003e in our range—also silicone oil-free, but with higher weather resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Gummifix is not the right product: glossy dashboards, cockpit plastics on the dashboard, and door panels. There, you usually want a slight sheen, not matte darkening. For this, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-top-star-ts-innenraum-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Top Star\u003c\/a\u003e is the alternative—the same brand with a silky-glossy finish instead of matte darkening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf safety on pedals and mats is your priority, use Gummifix. If you want shine on the dashboard, opt for Top Star. Having both in the garage costs less than a workshop visit and covers 90 percent of interior care—for the remaining 10 percent (leather, Alcantara, upholstery), you'll need dedicated products anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_ergebnis.png?v=1776193282\" alt=\"Floor mat after Koch-Chemie Gummifix treatment in the vehicle footwell\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGummifix or Gkg or Gkv\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three rubber and plastic care products in its range—the same product category, three different tasks. This classification saves you from the wrong purchases we often see in support when customers confuse the three abbreviations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGummifix—abbreviation Guf—is the matte, non-slip variant for floor mats and pedal rubbers. Koch-Chemie Rubber and Plastic Care Gkg produces a distinct high gloss and is intended for visible exterior parts such as bumper plastics or wheel arch covers—where gloss is desired. The Gkv is the third level with an additional vinyl component for boat covers, convertible tops, and vinyl flooring—more specialized, usually too much product and too expensive per application for everyday vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur application profile from 10 years of practice: Gummifix for everything that is touched by shoes when getting in and out. Gkg for visually visible exterior plastics that should shine. Gkv for special materials like marine applications. If you only want one product on the shelf and primarily care for the footwell, Gummifix is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-liter canister lasts for one to two seasons for one vehicle, the 10-liter canister is the industry standard for workshops, car dealerships, and fleets with 20 to 50 vehicles. Between the two container sizes are the two- and three-packs of the 1-liter container, which prepare for the step up to the 10-liter canister without having to immediately jump to commercial quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Detailing1 insight you won't read from the manufacturer: Gummifix is also the ideal product after steam cleaning the interior. After steam cleaning, rubber floor mats are extremely open-pored and absorb care particularly well—a single thin application then provides a depth and durability that would require three applications without prior preparation.

Simple plastic care provides short-term shine but offers little protection against renewed weathering. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Plastic Sealer\u003c\/strong\u003e solves this problem with a different approach: The Si-Carbon formulation forms a chemically anchored, hydrophobic ceramic layer on the plastic surface — not a pure oil that washes off, but a compound that actively provides UV protection and water repellency for up to three months. Available in a 750 ml format for regular use on all types of vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSi-Carbon Ceramic Protection with up to Three Months of Durability.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Si-Carbon technology in the formulation bonds with the plastic surface at a molecular level, forming a more durable protective layer than classic oil or silicone care products. The sealer remains active even after several rainfalls and hand washes and does not need to be reapplied after every wash. This saves time and material costs compared to plastic care products that need weekly refreshing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin-Matte Appearance without Excessive Shine on Exterior Plastics.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many plastic care products create an oily high gloss that looks unnatural on trim strips and bumpers that are actually designed to be matte. The Ceramic Plastic Sealer is tailored to the satin-matte original tone of modern exterior plastics: The plastic appears fresh and well-maintained, without exaggerated shine. The result corresponds to the new car appearance standard that customers are familiar with when buying a vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrophobic Surface for Less Dirt Accumulation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The sealed plastic surface repels water, thereby reducing the adhesion of road dirt, limescale stains, and splash water residues. Mud rain and road dirt can be washed off a sealed plastic surface more easily than from unsealed plastic. This keeps the vehicle cleaner longer between washes and reduces cleaning effort for the next wash.\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 best results with the Ceramic Plastic Sealer, pretreatment is crucial: First, clean plastic parts of grease and silicone residues with a plastic cleaner, then degrease with isopropanol (IPA), and only then apply the sealer. For severely faded plastic, a refreshing step with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-kunststoffgel-aussen-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Plastic Gel \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e is recommended before sealing. This restores the plastic's original dark color before the sealer fixes and protects its condition. Apply the Ceramic Plastic Sealer thinly with an application sponge, let it dry briefly, and then wipe off with a microfiber cloth — do not rub in, just distribute evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon Technology of the Ceramic Plastic Sealer — Functionality and Long-Term Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Si-Carbon technology is the core of the \u003cstrong\u003eCeramic Plastic Sealer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silicon compounds (Si) in combination with carbon molecules form a chemically anchored protective layer on the plastic surface after application. This compound is more stable than a pure oil layer — oils merely form a physical barrier between plastic and environment, which is relatively quickly washed away by rain and washes. The Si-Carbon layer, on the other hand, bonds with the surface molecules of the plastic and resists water rinsing and cleaning agents significantly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUV protection, in addition to hydrophobicity, is the second important function of the sealer. UV radiation is the main cause of plastic fading: high-energy UV photons break the polymer chain molecules on the plastic surface, leading to visible lightening and embrittlement of the plastic. The Ceramic Plastic Sealer contains UV absorbers that intercept some of the incoming UV radiation, thus slowing down the rate of fading. The effect is cumulative: vehicles that are regularly sealed every three months show significantly less fading progress over years than untreated vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of up to three months applies under normal conditions: regular hand washes or automatic car washes, normal weather influences, no aggressive cleaning agents. In practice, this means three to four applications per year, which makes the 750 ml format sufficient for most vehicles for a complete care season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question is whether the Si-Carbon sealer is compatible with other ceramic products in the vehicle care system. Since the Ceramic Plastic Sealer is applied exclusively to plastic surfaces and not to paint, there is no interaction with paint sealers or ceramic coatings on the bodywork. Anyone who wants to completely protect their vehicle with ceramic protection — paint with a ceramic coating, plastics with the ceramic sealer, windows with a hydrophobic agent — can combine all products without conflicts. Each area of application has its own product, and the boundaries between plastic and paint surfaces must be clearly respected during application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication of the Ceramic Plastic Sealer — Preparation, Application, and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe effectiveness of the Ceramic Plastic Sealer depends directly on surface preparation. On greasy, silicone- or oil-containing surfaces, the Si-Carbon compound cannot form a stable bond with the plastic — the sealer would then only adhere to the oil, not to the plastic itself. Therefore, pre-cleaning with isopropanol (IPA) or a special plastic cleaner is mandatory, not optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication: Apply the sealer to an application sponge or a soft microfiber cloth and apply thinly to the cleaned plastic surface. Do not rub, just distribute evenly. Depending on the ambient temperature, allow to dry for 2–5 minutes, then wipe off with a clean microfiber cloth. On smooth plastics (mirror caps, sills), a thin layer is sufficient; on textured, porous plastics (bumpers with honeycomb structure), a second layer can be applied after 10 minutes of drying time to ensure complete coverage of the indentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature and weather affect the result: The Ceramic Plastic Sealer should be applied at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C. Below 5 °C, the Si-Carbon compound reacts more slowly and drying takes longer — which can lead to uneven removal. Above 30 °C or in direct sunlight, the product dries too quickly and becomes difficult to remove. If working in summer, move the application to the shade or schedule the work for the cooler morning or evening hours. In winter, application in a heated garage or wash bay is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first application on new or long-unmaintained plastic, a two-layer application is recommended: The first layer penetrates the surface and fills the porous, UV-damaged surface structure. The second layer then forms the actual protective layer on a uniform base. Subsequent applications every three months usually only require one layer, as the basic structure is already sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application — Bumpers, Trim Strips, Mirror Caps, and More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Plastic Sealer is suitable for all unpainted exterior plastic parts: bumper inserts and strips in original color, door sills, wheel arch extensions, mirror caps, A-pillar covers, plastic roof spoilers, door handle recesses, and rear diffusers. Vehicles with large plastic surfaces particularly benefit — SUVs, off-road vehicles, and vans with pronounced plastic bumpers have significantly more surface area that quickly appears gray and neglected without regular care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially when used on vehicle bumpers with integrated parking sensors, careful work is required: The product should not be sprayed directly into the sensor openings. An application sponge, guided specifically only on the plastic surfaces between the sensors, prevents product residues in the sensor openings. If necessary, the sensor openings can be covered with a small strip of painter's tape before application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot intended for painted surfaces: The Ceramic Plastic Sealer is specially developed for unpainted, pigmented plastics and can leave streaks on clear coat. The sealer can also be used on rubber parts (door seals, window seals) and rubber lips on bumpers — it also protects rubber from UV embrittlement, albeit with a slightly shorter durability than on hard plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Plastic Sealer in Comparison — Plastic Care Products in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX plastic care range, the Ceramic Plastic Sealer is positioned as a long-term protection product for regular care.

Third, a protective layer is formed over the treated surface, shielding it from UV radiation, moisture, and environmental pollution. And fourth, the formula visibly regenerates the color of the plastic—the brightening of grayed black exterior trim is one of the most noticeable effects users report after the first application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this approach from simple cleaners or pure protective sprays: There is no intermediate step, no waiting time between cleaning and care, no risk of multiple exposures to too many different chemicals. Everything happens in one go—and the result is consistent. The product's texture is liquid enough for quick, even distribution, but present enough to truly penetrate the surface and work there. This is the essential difference between a genuine detailer and a simple spray product that only visually brightens without truly nourishing the surface. Regular use is also worthwhile for plastic parts that already show slight matting or fine surface scratches: the nourishing components camouflage these traces and noticeably delay further aging of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question is whether a universal detailer like this can be as effective as products specifically designed for interior or exterior applications. The answer is nuanced: For intensive restoration of heavily weathered exterior plastics or for extreme professional use, there are more optimized special solutions. However, for daily or weekly care, for regular refreshing between main care cycles, and for users who do not want a complete arsenal of individual products, the universal formulation is a smart choice. It simplifies the start of a structured care strategy and delivers very good long-term results with consistent use—both for the vehicle interior and exterior. For many users, this is the decisive advantage: instead of working through a dozen products with different application rules, a single grab into the care compartment is enough to bring the entire vehicle to a professional care level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProper application of interior plastic care — Workflow for cockpit and door panels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterior plastics place special demands on care products: they must clean sufficiently but must not leave an oily surface that glares in sunlight, reflects on displays, or makes the steering wheel slippery. The formula has been specifically developed for precisely this balancing act. The application process is simple: first, thoroughly vacuum the vehicle interior and remove coarse dirt, then spray the product onto a clean microfiber cloth—never directly onto displays or into vents—and then wipe the plastic surfaces evenly with it. The product absorbs quickly and leaves no streaks or residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor textured dashboards or grained door panels, an applicator sponge is recommended to work the product evenly into the texture. Especially with black high-gloss elements like piano lacquer trim, the subtle shine shows its strength: no greasy sheen, but a fresh, clean appearance. What should be explicitly excluded: The steering wheel and pedals are absolutely taboo for safety reasons—care products there can reduce grip and lead to dangerous situations. The same applies to displays and glass surfaces, which can become stained with plastic care products. Fabrics and Alcantara also do not react well to plastic care products—there are specially developed products for upholstery. Regular interior cleaning—ideally every four to six weeks—keeps the cockpit permanently fresh and prevents dirt particles from burning into porous plastic structures. A treated dashboard absorbs dust and fingerprints significantly less than an untreated surface, which noticeably simplifies the next cleaning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRefreshing exterior plastics — Areas of application and visible results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExterior plastics such as bumpers, side skirts, trim strips, and exterior mirror housings are the first parts of the vehicle to visibly age. Sun exposure, dirt, and washing processes deplete the surface of color depth and protection over time. What once looked deep black now appears gray and dull after a few years – a condition that significantly devalues the overall vehicle appearance, even if the paint and mechanics are still in good condition. This is where the PlasticDetailer demonstrates one of its greatest strengths: The intensive color revitalization works visibly on oxidized, faded exterior trim parts and restores the original black – or any other original color. On matte or unstructured exterior plastics, the product can be sprayed directly and then worked in with a clean microfiber cloth. Simply wipe off any excess – no stains or residues will form on paint or glass, as long as you work cleanly. Structured exterior plastics, typically found on bumpers or side skirts, are better reached with an applicator sponge or a soft brush: This allows the product to penetrate into recessed structures and achieve an even result across the entire surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's important to understand: The product is not a sealant in the classic sense. It does not provide a multi-month chemical protective film like a dedicated Exterior Plastic Protectant. However, for regular refreshing between care intervals—for example, after washing or before spring—it is exactly the right product: quickly applied, effective in result, and without much effort. The protective effect against dirt adhesion is a pleasant side effect: Treated exterior plastics absorb dirt less easily, which extends the time until the next cleaning and keeps the surface fresh longer. Especially for vehicles that are often outdoors or regularly in the car wash, a monthly refresh with the Detailer makes a clearly visible difference throughout the year. Another aspect that many users appreciate: The product can also be used well in autumn and winter, when road salt, dirty water, and temperature changes particularly stress exterior plastics. Regular treatment during this season forms a protective barrier against the penetration of dirt particles and reduces the risk of micro-cracks that can occur due to frost and cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlasticDetailer in comparison — when which product is the better choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX range offers several products for plastic care that differ significantly in their objective and depth. The XTREME PlasticDetailer is the all-rounder for interior and exterior—universally applicable, quick to use, and optimized for regular everyday use. However, if you exclusively want to care for exterior plastics and protect them for the maximum long term, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-kunststoffgel-aussen-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eXTREME PlasticGel \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e is a better choice: The gel is a more intensive formulation specifically for UV-exposed exterior plastics, provides a thicker protective layer, and is particularly suitable for heavily oxidized or neglected parts over the years, where a one-time intensive treatment makes more sense than regular light refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional use—for example, in vehicle detailing, used car dealerships, or frequently changed company cars—the PROFILINE line offers two specialized alternatives. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare-kunststoffpflege\"\u003ePROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/a\u003e is a water-based professional plastic care product for regular maintenance in a workshop environment, with high yield even in large containers.

The PlasticDetailer thus positions itself as the right tool for the ambitious home user and the detailer who needs a universal product for all smooth plastics in everyday life—without having to switch between different specialized formulations for interior and exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying recommendation — for whom is the SONAX PlasticDetailer worthwhile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XTREME PlasticDetailer is the right product if you are looking for a simple, universal plastic care product that delivers visible results without much effort. Especially in everyday life—after washing the car, during regular interior cleaning, or for seasonal refreshing—it is the ideal tool. If you drive a vehicle with a lot of dark interior plastic—typical for many mid-range and SUV models—you will immediately see the difference after the first application: the cockpit looks fresher, the door panels are no longer dull, and the exterior trim has regained its original color. The 500 ml bottle is designed for many applications for home users and thus offers very good value for money. For the best overall result, we recommend combining it with a good microfiber: the product absorbs evenly with it, without leaving streaks or residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: a durable high-gloss protective film that you only apply once a year and then forget about. For this requirement, you need a specialized exterior protectant. As part of a monthly care plan, however, the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME PlasticDetailer\u003c\/strong\u003e is a reliable, uncomplicated product that reliably does its job—without frills, with an immediately visible result, and at a price that doesn't make you feel guilty even with regular use. Especially for vehicle owners who want to simplify their care routine and still achieve professional results, it is a clear recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is particularly recommended for: new car owners who want to protect their plastics from the start and maintain their initial quality for as long as possible; owners of older vehicles whose interior and exterior plastics have already visibly aged and require regular refreshing; and detailers who want to have a quick, universal care product in their kit without having to carry a separate product for each surface. The 500 ml bottle with spray head makes application particularly convenient – no cumbersome dosing, no spilling, no separate applicator necessarily required. Those who maintain regularly prevent expensive damage and preserve the vehicle's value in the long term – and precisely for this, this detailer is one of the most effective and affordable options in the SONAX range. If you want to take care one step further, ideally combine the product with a regular washing ritual: First wash, then refresh the plastics – this keeps the vehicle well-maintained all around, and the effort remains manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160880128335,"sku":"D1-SNX-2552410","price":11.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-KunststoffDetailer-Innen-Ausen-2.png?v=1721514330"},{"product_id":"carpro-perl-sio2-coat-kunststoff-gummi-pflege","title":"\"Pearl\" SiO2 Coating Plastic \u0026 Rubber Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCarPro \"Perl\" SiO2-Coat Plastic \u0026amp; Rubber Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarPro Perl is a water-repellent, solvent-free, water-based plastic care product that refreshes faded surfaces and provides a silky sheen.

UV radiation, rain, and road grime attack untreated plastic surfaces, causing them to fade, with simple washing doing nothing to help. It is precisely for this situation that \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME PlasticGel \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed: a deeply effective care gel that doesn't just sit on the surface but penetrates the plastic, supplying it with moisture and nourishing agents, while building a long-lasting protective layer. The result is a significantly richer look and demonstrable protection that mitigates the next round of weathering. A mere 250 ml goes a long way for a complete vehicle treatment — the gel is formulated as a concentrate and used very sparingly, making it economical despite its high-quality effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep-acting regeneration instead of just a surface coating.\u003c\/strong\u003e The gel penetrates the open plastic structure and supplies the polymer fibers with nourishing substances from within.

Clean briefly beforehand with a plastic cleaner or XTREME Tire and PlasticCleaner, then apply thinly and evenly with a sponge applicator and massage in. Not too much at once — rather, apply thinly and, if necessary, a second coat after absorption. Do not apply directly in sunlight on hot surfaces, as the gel can dry too quickly and leave stains. The gel also nourishes rubber seals and prevents brittleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDeep-acting plastic care gel — how the formula regenerates grayed surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExterior plastic parts on vehicles are mostly made of PP (polypropylene) or ABS, both materials that, without care, become brittle and fade under UV exposure. The phenomenon of \"graying\" occurs when the upper molecular layer of the plastic oxidizes due to UV radiation and the dark color pigments degrade. Simple cleaning or waxes intended for paint cannot stop this process — they only settle on the surface without penetrating the plastic structure. In contrast, \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME PlasticGel\u003c\/strong\u003e is formulated so that the care substances can use the capillary structure of the plastic and actively penetrate it. This regenerates the oxidized polymer layers, restores the natural appearance, and then seals the surface from within against further penetration of UV rays and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gel consistency is a deliberate formulation approach: while thin sprays spread quickly, they tend to overspray onto adjacent surfaces with generous dosing — a known problem with tire shine sprays on brake discs or plastic care sprays on the vehicle body. XTREME PlasticGel stays where it is applied. The creamy consistency allows for targeted work with the sponge applicator, and the application is controllable. This is particularly important at transitions between plastic and paint, where applied care products must not leave marks on the paint surface. The formula is also free of silicone oils, which, while creating intense smoothness in the short term, can harden the plastic structure in the long term and complicate subsequent repairs or painting. Silicone-free care is especially important if the vehicle is regularly polished or repainted — silicone contamination of plastic parts can lead to adhesion problems and fisheyes on adjacent painted surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who regularly — recommended every four to six weeks — apply XTREME PlasticGel build up a cumulative protective layer that not only visually camouflages graying but substantially slows it down. Especially in spring after winter, an intensive application is recommended, as road salt and cold severely stress plastic surfaces. The gel helps to effectively reverse the superficial oxidation caused by winter and make the plastics well-fit for the UV-intensive and demanding summer season.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother aspect that distinguishes XTREME PlasticGel from many cheap products: It contains no aggressive solvents, which, while briefly blackening intensely, at the same time attack the plastic surface and accelerate further embrittlement in the long run. This \"yo-yo effect\" is known with inexpensive plastic care products — after a few days, the surface appears even grayer than before because the solvent has removed moisture and damaged the polymer layer. In contrast, XTREME PlasticGel works purely with care substances that moisturize the plastic and build up a protective layer without damaging the substance. In the long term, this gentler approach pays off: the plastic parts look better and better after repeated application, instead of fading faster after each treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying PlasticGel \"Exterior\" correctly — preparation and application for optimal results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation of the plastic surface is the most critical step for a good result. Applied care products can only penetrate deeply if the surface is free of oils, dirt residues, and old care product residues. Anyone applying to a surface that still contains residues of a silicone or oil-based previous product will find that the result remains uneven — the new care products cannot penetrate completely because the old layer completely blocks them. Therefore, always clean thoroughly first: Either with a specialized plastic cleaner or as part of a regular car wash with a shampoo that degreases the plastic parts. Then dry and only then apply the XTREME PlasticGel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application itself is simple: Dispense a small amount of gel onto a soft sponge applicator and massage it thinly but thoroughly into the plastic. Circular motions work well to evenly work the gel into the surface. Allow a short reaction time of 1–2 minutes, then lightly wipe off any excess with a clean microfiber cloth. A tip for the transition areas between plastic and paint: when applying with the sponge, overlap a little and then wipe directly on the painted surface with a fresh cloth — this prevents unsightly marks at the boundary line. Anyone using an applicator sponge with a rounded edge can get into tight grooves and structures of the bumpers well and achieves a more even result than with a flat cloth. Do not apply too much at once — a thin film works better and longer than a thick layer that remains on the surface and attracts dust particles over time. For heavily grayed surfaces, a second application after the first layer has fully absorbed can significantly intensify the effect. XTREME PlasticGel is explicitly intended only for exterior plastics: interior parts, steering wheel, pedals, or accelerator pedal are not suitable — care products that could make safety surfaces slippery should generally not be used there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application — which exterior plastics XTREME PlasticGel regenerates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gel is suitable for all smooth, untreated exterior plastics: front and rear bumpers, sill panels, wheel arch extensions, door handles, exterior mirror housings, transition strips between body and doors, and rain gutters. Exterior rubber seals also benefit from the caring effect: the gel prevents brittleness, which occurs especially in winter due to cold exposure, and keeps the seals elastic and functional. However, for high-gloss plastics — such as painted bumpers or glossy add-on parts — the gel is not the first choice: here, paint-specific care products are more suitable, as the plastic gel leaves a slightly matte finish on high-gloss surfaces. It is a product for untreated, matte exterior plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question is whether XTREME PlasticGel also works on rubber bumper strips or rubber profiles — the answer is yes: The gel is also suitable for smooth rubber surfaces in the exterior and provides a nourishing, protective effect there. On structured or very porous rubber surfaces, application may take a little more time to ensure the gel is evenly distributed. When dealing with trim strips with chrome content, care should be taken during application to avoid getting the gel on chrome areas — chrome surfaces require different care products, and plastic gel can leave matte residues on chrome. However, with targeted, clean-edged application, this is not a problem.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXTREME PlasticGel is not suitable for surfaces with severe mechanical damage such as deep scratches or chipped areas — here, the substance must first be repaired by sanding or applying plastic primer before a care product can be used effectively. For very old vehicles where the plastic parts are already severely structurally damaged, the gel can improve the appearance but cannot perform mechanical restoration of the plastic substance. For regularly maintained vehicles, however, it is an indispensable means of ensuring that the exterior plastics retain their appearance for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlasticGel in comparison — what distinguishes it from other plastic care products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX range for plastic care offers several products with different application focuses.

It is ideal for regular refreshing and daily care, but does not provide the deep effect of the gel. Those who already have well-maintained plastics and want to refresh them regularly will find the Detailer quick and efficient. Those who want to revive more heavily grayed or neglected exterior plastics, however, will benefit more from the concentrated care effect of XTREME PlasticGel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional use or for vehicles that are permanently exposed to intensive outdoor use, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege\"\u003ePROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e is additionally recommended after gel treatment — a professional plastic protective agent from the PROFILINE line that builds a long-lasting protective layer on exterior plastics. In combination, this results in a two-stage workflow: XTREME PlasticGel for deep care and regeneration, PROFILINE PlasticProtectant as long-term weather protection on top. Also anchored in the professional segment is the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare-kunststoffpflege\"\u003ePROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/a\u003e — ideal for detailers who regularly work on many vehicles and rely on professionally formulated products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying recommendation — for whom SONAX XTREME PlasticGel is worthwhile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eXTREME PlasticGel is the right choice for anyone who wants to bring faded, grayed exterior plastics back into top condition and care for them permanently. It is particularly worthwhile for older vehicles from about three to four years of age, where the plastic parts have noticeably lost their new condition, as well as for vehicles that are frequently outdoors and exposed to strong UV radiation. Anyone who regularly washes and cares for their car, but has neglected the issue of exterior plastics until now, will be amazed at the first use of XTREME PlasticGel what an optical difference targeted plastic care can make: The body looks younger, fresher, and more cared for overall when the black plastic parts show their full black again instead of looking gray and dull next to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 250 ml bottle is sufficient for many applications with economical dosing — anyone who treats their vehicle with it every four to six weeks will get through a season with one bottle. This makes the price-performance ratio simply excellent, considering that professional reconditioning of faded and grayed plastics in a workshop would cost many times more. In short: XTREME PlasticGel is an inexpensive, highly effective care product that delivers immediately visible results and at the same time ensures in the long term that exterior plastics remain more beautiful and resistant. Anyone who loves their car and cares for it regularly will not understand after the first application why they managed without this product for so long — the visual difference between well-maintained and neglected exterior plastics is one of the most striking quality differences between a freshly serviced and a neglected vehicle.

The care layer then covers the dirt instead of dissolving it — the surface looks fresh, but attracts dust twice as fast within a few days. Degrease with APC beforehand, wipe dry, then spray. This way, the care binds with the plastic, not with the layer of dirt on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeat for high gloss. 1:4 for an original look.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydro Plast Care is applied neat to tire sidewalls and glossy exterior components. Diluted 1:4, it provides a matte, original look for dashboards and door panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dosage determines the gloss level, not the application amount. The concentrate should be poured into an empty spray bottle or applied to a clean sponge. Apply thinly and evenly to the dry, degreased surface, allow to dry for 2 to 3 minutes, and polish with a microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a vehicle interior, calculate about 20 to 30 milliliters at a 1:4 dilution; for neat application on four tire sidewalls, 30 to 40 milliliters are sufficient for the complete set. For door seals and rubber profiles, use a 1:1 dilution and apply with an applicator brush; this keeps them supple without shining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the cockpit, we recommend 1:3 or 1:4 so that light does not reflect in the windshield and the instruments do not appear freshly oiled from the driver's perspective. For bumpers and trim strips made of matte plastic, work with 1:2. If you're preparing tires for a photoshoot, apply neat to the dry sidewall and let it soak in for 5 minutes — no buffing required. You can find accessories in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kunststoffpflege\"\u003ePlastic Care category\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMix only the amount needed for the day, not in advance. Diluted solution in an open spray bottle will absorb air after 5 to 7 days and lose its gloss performance as the surfactant structure slowly separates. For commercial use, write the mixing date on the bottle with a waterproof pen and discard any leftover solution after one week — this is cleaner than \"shaking the solution vigorously again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workflow order: First vacuum the interior, then degrease, then apply Hydro Plast Care. For the exterior, after washing and before tire care.

This slows down fading and embrittlement, which are typical for black dashboard parts after two to three summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack plastic in the interior reaches surface temperatures of 70 to 90 °C in summer sun. Under this stress, plasticizers come to the surface and are broken down by UV radiation — the plastic turns gray, rough, and begins to creak. The care layer of Hydro Plast Care does not replace these lost plasticizers, but it slows down the UV reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the formula does not contain traditional solvents, no aggressive fumes evaporate during application. The product is approved for interior use — no unpleasant odors on the first drive home and no irritation for people sensitive to volatile hydrocarbons. The protective layer noticeably reduces static charge on smooth plastic surfaces, which slows down dust accumulation between care intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear limitations: Hydro Plast Care is not intended for leather — for this, Koch-Chemie has its own products with Pol Star \"Po\" and Leather Star \"Ls\". Fabric seats, headliners, and Alcantara also do not tolerate the concentrate, as the care film would stick the textile fibers together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllow hot plastic parts to cool for at least 15 minutes after summer drives, otherwise the product will dry streaky, and you will have to polish it off afterwards.

A concentrate is only worthwhile for regular use: Those who dilute rarely lose the price advantage due to shelf life, as an opened bottle can become cloudy after about 24 months. In that case, a pre-dosed product from our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie category\u003c\/a\u003e is the more economical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA verified customer review of the 5-liter canister honestly sums up this assessment: Those accustomed to the ready-to-use Classic variant find the dilution approach an additional work step — for this user type, Plast Star \"Pss\" is the more suitable choice, not the concentrate. A second review from the 1-liter container, however, explicitly highlights its yield. Both feedbacks show: The dilution curve is not a universal advantage, but a work pattern that must suit your workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe four container sizes cover different application profiles. The 1-liter bottle is the entry point for one vehicle and yields approximately 5 liters of ready-to-use care after 1:4 dilution — enough for 25 to 30 cockpit applications. The 2×1-liter set and the 3×1-liter set are intended as a supply for detailing enthusiasts who care for family cars, second cars, and seasonal vehicles in parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-liter canister is clearly calculated for detailers, workshops, and fleet maintainers, and significantly reduces the price per liter — when fully utilized at a 1:4 dilution, it corresponds to 25 liters of ready-to-use care. If you are emptying the canister commercially, fill the spray bottle with the amount needed for the day in advance and immediately re-seal the remaining container so that the emulsion does not unnecessarily absorb air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur strongest practical insight from our own detailing: Applying Hydro Plast Care directly after washing to slightly damp-wiped plastic saves an entire work step compared to solvent-based classic care products. The water-dilutable concentrate distributes more evenly on damp surfaces, as long as the surface is degreased and not dripping wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore frost-free between 5 and 30 °C and use within 24 months after opening — this keeps the emulsion stable and maintains the defined gloss level throughout the container's lifespan.

Apply with an applicator sponge or a soft cloth and rub in evenly. For a natural, matte shine, apply thinly and let it soak in well — for an intense wet look, apply a little more generously and wipe off less. Do not apply any care product to brake discs and brake pads.

As a complementary product for black exterior plastic parts, we recommend the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Plastic Protectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRubber Technology: How RubberCare regenerates tires and rubber parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber is a composite material made of natural or synthetic polymer chains (elastomers) that are cross-linked by vulcanization and obtain their characteristic elasticity through plasticizers. In vehicle use, rubber parts continuously lose these plasticizers due to UV radiation, ozone, temperature fluctuations, and chemical effects — the rubber becomes hard, grey, and brittle. This process is irreversible if it has progressed too far, but can be significantly slowed down with regular care and even partially reversed in early stages. For vehicles that are frequently exposed to the sun — vehicles without underground parking or those that regularly travel in sunny regions — this aging process accelerates significantly, justifying a more frequent rubber care schedule (every 4–6 weeks instead of quarterly).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber care product contains active ingredients that penetrate the rubber structure and partially replace the depleted plasticizers — the rubber becomes more flexible, the color returns from faded grey to deep black, and the surface is protected by a protective film against further UV and ozone effects. This mechanism makes rubber care both a preventive and restorative tool: applied regularly, it prevents degradation; applied to already weathered rubber, it slows down further aging and significantly improves the appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor tires, rubber care comes with a particular challenge: tire rubber contains not only elastomers but also carbon black (for black coloring and UV protection), fillers, and specific additives. The greying of tires is often due to the diffusion of the built-in ozone protectant (wax components in the rubber that exit the material and form a white layer) — this phenomenon is normal and a sign of active UV protection of the tire. RubberCare dissolves this wax layer, blackens the surface, and applies a complementary protective film without impairing the tire's internal protective functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying RubberCare correctly — Workflow for tires and rubber seals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimal application of rubber and tire care differs depending on the area of use: tires and exterior seals on the one hand, interior seals on the other. For tires: First wash (thoroughly clean tire sidewalls with a brush, remove brake dust and dirt layers), then dry, and only then apply the care product. Moisture on the tire dilutes the care product and impairs penetration depth — a dry tire absorbs RubberCare significantly better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication method for tires: Apply the care product evenly to the tire sidewall with an applicator sponge or a soft cloth, using circular or stroking motions. Allow to act for 2–3 minutes, then wipe off excess. Do not drive on wet roads with freshly cared for tires — the care product can initially increase slip on the road until it is completely dry. In operational use (e.g., car wash), an exposure time of at least 2 minutes is recommended before the vehicle is driven out of the facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor rubber seals (door frames, trunk lid seals, window seals): Apply the care product sparingly with a soft cloth or cotton swab to the sealing surfaces and rub in well. For interior seals affected in winter (freezing, sticking), treatment in autumn is recommended to keep the seals pliable. Do not apply care product to plastic or painted surfaces directly adjacent to the seals — carefully mask during application or wipe off immediately after treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially when used in automated car washes, dosing is crucial: Too much care product leads to slippery tires and unsightly drainage residues on the vehicle floor — the recommended amount per tire is 3–5 ml. With a suitable dosing system and foam applicators, the amount can be precisely controlled while ensuring an even distribution over the entire tire sidewall. Operators who use the product in automated systems should check the viscosity and compatibility with the pump systems in advance — an adjustment to the respective system ensures consistent results on every vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application: Where RubberCare is used in professional operations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bulk container concept of RubberCare is clearly geared towards continuous professional use. In car washes, tire care is a highly attractive value-added service that, as an additional service, ensures increased customer satisfaction and additional revenue: a sparkling clean, deep black tire after the wash is, for many customers, the most visible quality feature of the detailing. With the 60-liter container and an automatic dosing system, RubberCare can be seamlessly integrated into the car wash workflow — economically and consistently for hundreds of vehicles daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional detailing businesses, tire care is part of every full detailing process — well-maintained tires visually round off the overall result and signal to the customer that the vehicle has been treated from head to toe. In addition, rubber care on seals is a preventive service area: customers with regularly maintained seals less often have problems with leaky vehicles or sticking doors in winter — a service value that goes beyond pure cosmetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fleet operators with large vehicle fleets, RubberCare in the 60-liter container is the most economical option for regular fleet maintenance. Commercial vehicles, transport vehicles, and company fleets are often reduced to standard washing — with RubberCare, the well-maintained impression of the fleet can be significantly enhanced with minimal effort. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Tire Shine \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e offers a sprayable tire care product as an alternative for quick individual use without an applicator sponge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRubberCare Comparison — Differences from other tire care products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the field of tire care, there are different product categories: tire shine sprays for quick individual use, gel coatings for long-lasting tire protection, and concentrated care products like RubberCare for economical continuous use. The essential differences lie in application format, durability, and cost per application. Spray products are easy to apply but comparatively expensive per application and available in small containers — ideal for private customers, not economical for professional businesses with many vehicles per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubberCare as a concentrated care product in bulk offers the best price per application and is suitable for all application forms — sponge, brush, or in diluted form via dosing systems. The penetration effect is better with direct application to dry rubber surfaces than with spray products applied to moist tires. For optimal care and durability, application with a sponge on a dry surface is clearly preferable — spray application is faster but less effective in rubber penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to products for exterior plastic parts (like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Plastic Protectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e), RubberCare is specifically formulated for the special chemistry of rubber elastomers. Although plastic and rubber are visually similar, they are chemically different — a plastic protector can react differently on rubber than expected. For optimal results on tires and rubber parts, the specific rubber care product is the safe choice, while the Plastic Protectant is the better solution for bumpers, trim strips, and other thermoplastic exterior plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE RubberCare — Container sizes and economy in professional use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE RubberCare\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in two container sizes, which are tailored to different professional needs. The 5-liter container is ideal for detailing businesses that regularly detail several vehicles per week and integrate tire care as a standard service — five liters are sufficient for many complete tire treatments with proper dosing. The 60-liter container is designed for car washes and fleet operators with daily high-volume use — here, the bulk container investment pays off through the significantly lower price per liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price-per-application comparison makes the economy of RubberCare particularly clear: with an average dosage of 10–20 ml per vehicle (four tires + seals), the 5-liter container is sufficient for 250–500 complete treatments.

This layer is water-resistant, UV-stable, and significantly more durable than purely physically adhering oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference is particularly noticeable in regularly washed vehicles: while silicone products disappear after 2-3 washes, the SiO2 layer of the Trim Restorer lasts several weeks — and becomes stronger with each subsequent application as the layers build up (layering effect).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles with particularly weathered plastic — with cracks, micropores, or heavy oxidation — we recommend starting with a mechanical cleaning using a cleaning clay or cloth to remove the uppermost oxidation layer. Only then will the Trim Restorer fully and evenly penetrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich plastic parts can I treat with the Trim Restorer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer is suitable for all unpainted, open-pore plastic and rubber parts. These typically include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack plastic bumpers (unprimed spoilers, rear bumpers), door sill trims, side skirt covers, plastic trim strips, mirror housings, rubber or plastic window frames, wheel arch liners, underbody protection parts, door handles and handle recesses, roof rails, and plastic spoiler covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Trim Restorer is not suitable for painted plastics in body color — here, the product would cloud the clear coat. There are also better care products for polished or anodized aluminum parts. If in doubt, test in an inconspicuous area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/meguiars-hybrid-ceramic-detailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eHybrid Ceramic Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e for paint and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/meguiars-hybrid-ceramic-tire-shine-reifenpflege\"\u003eHybrid Ceramic Tire Shine\u003c\/a\u003e for tires, a complete Hybrid Ceramic care set for all exterior surfaces of the vehicle is created — a consistent appearance from paint to plastic to tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect Application of Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorrect application is crucial for an even, long-lasting result. Follow this proven method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thoroughly wash and dry plastic parts. For heavily soiled surfaces, first clean with an all-purpose cleaner or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/meguiars-quik-interior-detailer-cleaner\"\u003eQuik Interior Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e. No silicones or oils on the surface — these prevent the Trim Restorer from penetrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a small amount to a foam applicator (pea-sized per panel). Apply evenly in two overlapping strips. Do not use circular motions — this can create uneven layer thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCure Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow to cure for 3-5 minutes until the surface appears slightly matte. Heavily faded plastic may require a bit more time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWipe Off:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe off residue-free with a clean microfiber cloth. The cloth should be dry — a damp cloth can wipe off the not yet fully cured SiO2 layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Optimal Results:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply 2-3 layers, with 10 minutes of drying time between layers. Do not work in direct sunlight or above 30°C — this causes the product to dry too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrim Restorer vs. Cheap Plastic Care Products — What's the Real Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe market for \u003cstrong\u003eplastic care\u003c\/strong\u003e products is vast: from cheap silicone sprays for 5 Euros to professional coatings for three-figure sums. The Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer clearly positions itself in the premium everyday segment — and the difference to cheaper alternatives is clearly noticeable in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheap silicone sprays look good immediately, but after the first wash or rain, the effect often disappears. In addition, cheap silicone oil can get onto adjacent painted surfaces and cause problems during polishing (silicone contamination during polishing steps).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer is oil-free and formulated with minimal silicone — the SiO2 base is compatible with paint and polish. This makes it the right product for detailers who also perform polishing steps and want to avoid silicone contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional long-term solutions for heavily weathered plastic, there are more specialized products — the Trim Restorer is not a full-fledged plastic coating replacement. But for regular care, protection, and optical maintenance in everyday use, it is the best choice in the Meguiar's range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer ideal for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer is the right choice for anyone who wants to permanently restore faded plastics — without complex coating processes. Ideal for: car owners with black plastic bumpers that have grayed over time. Detailers who want to permanently protect plastic after a full vehicle detailing. Anyone who is disappointed by fast-fading silicone sprays and is looking for a more durable approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed as part of the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic System, a complete protection concept is created: paint, tires, and plastic are treated with the same SiO2 technology — consistent protection for all exterior surfaces of the

Spray from approx. 20–25 cm distance in 2–3 thin coats, allowing 5 minutes to dry between coats. Do not apply to hot headlights (direct sunlight) — cool, shaded conditions for best results. After complete curing (30 minutes), the coating is water-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Headlights Yellow — The Physics Behind Polycarbonate UV Degradation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern vehicle headlights are made of polycarbonate (PC) — a thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance, low weight, and optical clarity. However, compared to the glass headlights of older vehicles, polycarbonate is UV-sensitive: UV-B radiation from the sun chemically breaks down the polymer chains in the plastic, a process called photo-oxidation. This chemical reaction first creates microscopic roughness on the surface (hazing), which then progresses to a yellowish-hazy discoloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process is cumulative: Every hour under UV radiation slightly worsens the degradation — over months and years, the characteristic headlight yellowing develops, which almost every vehicle shows after about 5–8 years. UV degradation is accelerated by high temperatures (southern regions, summer heat) and by abrasive and cleaning residues that damage the plastic's natural UV stabilization layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost polycarbonate headlights come with a thin hardcoat layer from the factory, which offers some UV protection. However, this layer is not permanent: It wears down over the years due to car washes, abrasives, road abrasion, and mechanical stress — and as soon as the hardcoat layer is gone, the UV degradation of the base material accelerates significantly. This is exactly where Meguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating comes in: It replaces the worn hardcoat function with a new, freshly applied UV protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to understand that headlight restoration (sanding and polishing) removes the already oxidized layers and makes the surface clear again — but does not restore the original UV protection function. A polished headlight without subsequent sealing is even more susceptible to UV degradation than before, as polishing has removed any remaining hardcoat residues. The KEEP CLEAR Coating completes this step and perfects the headlight restoration to a complete, lasting result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother often overlooked factor is heat generation in headlights: Modern LED and xenon headlights generate less heat than old halogen systems, but the surface of the headlight lens can still heat up to 60–80°C in direct sunlight on a parking lot in summer. This temperature significantly accelerates chemical reactions — UV degradation, oxidation, and the degradation of the natural hardcoat coating occur faster at higher temperatures. A heat-resistant sealant like the KEEP CLEAR Coating reliably protects the surface even under these thermal conditions and remains stable without deforming, chalking, or impairing optical clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating — Step-by-Step Application Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorrect application is crucial for the durability and appearance of the coating. The first step is thorough cleaning of the headlight surface: All dirt particles, insect residues, wax residues, and polishing residues must be completely removed. A freshly restored headlight should be wiped with a clean microfiber cloth after polishing and degreased with isopropyl alcohol (IPA, 70–99%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface must be completely dry — even the smallest traces of moisture under the coating can lead to blistering or reduced adhesion. On damp days or after rain, we recommend gently warming the headlights with a heat gun and waiting 10 minutes until any residual moisture has evaporated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the aerosol evenly onto the headlight from a distance of 20–25 cm. Important: Do not let the spray get onto painted body parts, rubber seals, or vehicle glass — mask or carefully cover. Apply the first layer thinly and let it dry for 5 minutes. Then apply 2–3 more layers, also with 5 minutes drying time between each. Several thin layers result in a more even, durable protective layer than one thick layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the final application, allow at least 30 minutes to cure before the vehicle is moved or comes into contact with water. For optimal durability, we recommend 2 hours of curing time at room temperature (or 1 hour at slightly elevated indoor temperatures). The finished result: a crystal-clear, shiny headlight with an invisible, UV-protective coating layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake in headlight sealing is uneven application due to too large or too small a spray distance. From less than 15 cm distance, the coating is applied too concentrated and can form runs or drips. From more than 30 cm distance, part of the aerosol volatilizes before it reaches the surface, leading to thinner and uneven layers. The optimal distance of 20–25 cm ensures an even, fine application that wets the headlight surface seamlessly and without overspray zones. Those who apply KEEP CLEAR Coating for the first time should perform a test application on a spare piece or a less visible area to get a feel for the correct spray distance and application speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Headlight Restoration — KEEP CLEAR Coating in conjunction with other Meguiars products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating is the final step in a complete headlight restoration. For heavily yellowed or hazed headlights, mechanical restoration is necessary before coating: First, remove the oxidized layer with a sanding pad and abrasive, then remove sanding marks with a polishing pad and polishing compound, and finally bring the surface to a high gloss with a finishing pad and finishing polish. Only after this complete restoration process is the KEEP CLEAR Coating applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lightly to moderately hazed headlights (early stage of UV degradation, no deep scratches), a simple cleaning step with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/meguiars-plastx-clear-plastic-cleaner-polish\"\u003eMeguiars PLASTX Clear Plastic Cleaner \u0026amp; Polish\u003c\/a\u003e is often sufficient, followed by the KEEP CLEAR Coating.

For vehicles with high UV exposure (Southern Europe, summer parking in direct sunlight), we recommend refreshing the coating every 6–8 months instead of annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEEP CLEAR Coating for New Vehicles — Why Prevention is Better Than Restoration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common application of Meguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating is after-treatment following headlight restoration — but the product is also ideal for new or nearly new vehicles whose headlights are still perfectly clear. Preventive use is always easier and more cost-effective than later restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew vehicles do have the factory hardcoat on their headlights — but this, as described above, degrades over time. Applying an additional protective layer of KEEP CLEAR Coating to brand-new headlights significantly extends the lifespan of their original clarity. Vehicle owners who treat their new car with KEEP CLEAR from the start can often maintain clear, untarnished headlights for 10 years or more — which otherwise typically requires initial restoration measures after 5–7 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same principle applies to used car buyers: Headlights that are still clear and undamaged should be sealed with KEEP CLEAR Coating immediately after purchase, before UV degradation begins. Protecting an already clear headlight involves significantly less effort than a full restoration — and the result is visually identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles regularly exposed to strong UV radiation (convertibles, vehicles without a garage, vehicles in sunny regions), we recommend an annual treatment as a standard care measure, integrated into the spring detailing cycle. Especially after winter, when road salt, grit, and low temperatures have particularly stressed headlight surfaces, a fresh KEEP CLEAR Coating layer is the ideal preparation for the intensive UV season of the summer months. Combined with a thorough headlight cleaning in spring, the KEEP CLEAR Coating refresh is a simple, cost-effective measure that keeps the headlights in optimal optical and functional condition year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy Meguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating — For Permanently Clear Headlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating is the professional solution for anyone who wants to keep their headlights permanently clear and like new.

Combined with Meguiars PLASTX Clear Plastic Cleaner \u0026amp; Polish for cleaning and polishing and Meguiars Microfiber Towels for application, it forms a complete, professional headlight care set that covers all steps from cleaning to polishing to long-term sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Anyone who restores yellowed or hazed headlights must seal them with KEEP CLEAR Coating in the final step — otherwise, UV degradation will begin immediately again. And those with clear headlights should protect them preventively before restoration becomes necessary. In both cases, Meguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating is the right product: easy to use, highly effective, and with protective power that lasts up to one year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA final practical note for workshop operators and professional vehicle detailers: Meguiars KEEP CLEAR Headlight Coating can be excellently offered as a value-adding add-on to any vehicle detailing or inspection. The quick application time of less than 15 minutes per vehicle and the convincing, immediately visible effect make the product an ideal service component that complements the detailing offering with genuine added value for the customer. After treatment, the headlight becomes clear as new — a result that visibly increases the vehicle's optical value and delights customers, without significant effort for the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meguiars","offers":[{"title":"4 oz (118 ml)","offer_id":57344816611663,"sku":"D1-MEG-G17804EU","price":15.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Meguiars-KEEP-CLEAR-Headlight-Coating-Scheinwerferversiegelung-4-oz-118-ml_PS1.jpg?v=1775376288"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-plasticcare-kunststoffpflege","title":"PROFILINE PlasticCare Plastic Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRegenerate and Permanently Protect Plastic with SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare do?

The result is a subtle, natural shine that resembles a factory-new appearance and sells much better to customers than a greasy, shiny dashboard. Available in three container sizes — 1 liter, 5 liters, and 25 liters — PlasticCare meets the needs of small individual businesses to large detailing chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor refreshment with a subtle, natural shine.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and dark gray plastic parts appear rich and vibrant after treatment, without an artificial gloss. The subtle shine typical of SONAX is created by a thin preservation layer that reflects light evenly, rather than mirroring it like a silicone layer. This is particularly crucial for high-end vehicles, where excessive shine on the dashboard can be perceived as cheap and irritates demanding customers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent-free — safe for all plastic types.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula does not attack painted or unpainted plastics and is suitable for the entire vehicle interior. Unlike solvent-based alternatives, PlasticCare does not dry out the plastic or make it brittle. This is a crucial difference in the long run: While solvents remove superficial dirt, they also extract plasticizers from the material — the opposite of genuine, sustainable care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine compartment preservation in one step.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprayed directly after engine washing, PlasticCare preserves all plastic covers and cable insulation in the engine compartment.

Less concentrate results in a duller, more natural look — ideal for dashboards and center consoles, where high gloss can cause glare. For the engine compartment, use PlasticCare undiluted, directly after engine washing and after blowing off excess water in recesses and on the ignition system with compressed air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic Care without Solvents — Why It Makes a Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe market for plastic care products is confusing, and many products promise more than they deliver. Most inexpensive cockpit sprays and plastic care products rely on silicone oils and solvents as a base. The silicone oil provides immediate shine, and the solvent helps with quick absorption. The problem: Silicone oils form a film on the surface and attract dust like a magnet. After a few days, the treated dashboard looks dustier than before. Solvents, on the other hand, attack the plasticizers in the plastic in the long term — precisely the substances that keep the plastic supple and color-intensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/strong\u003e works without solvents and instead uses a regenerating combination of active ingredients that penetrates the upper plastic layer, revives faded pigments, and forms a thin protective layer. This layer is not sticky, hardly attracts dust, and does not create an unnatural shine. The effect lasts significantly longer than with silicone products because the active ingredients do not simply remain on the surface and disappear with the next wipe, but actually regenerate the uppermost material layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the daily practice of a detailing business, this difference is particularly evident in two areas: Firstly, the treated surface remains clean for significantly longer because no silicone film binds particles. Secondly, PlasticCare can be easily reworked — if the customer returns after weeks, a new application adheres perfectly without layers building up or residues needing to be removed. With silicone-based products, however, the old layer often has to be cleaned off before fresh care can be applied — a step that costs time and must be done with solvent-based cleaners, which in turn stress the plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage of the solvent-free formula is evident in handling sensitive plastics: High-quality vehicles are increasingly using soft-coated surfaces in the interior — so-called soft-touch plastics, which feel pleasant but are extremely sensitive to solvents. Even a single contact with aggressive care products can lead to permanent sticky spots or abrasion of the soft-touch coating on these surfaces. PlasticCare is safe for these delicate surfaces and cares for them without attacking the coating — an aspect that is particularly relevant when detailing premium vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic Refurbishment — Application in the Interior and on Exterior Parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of PlasticCare is deliberately kept simple to function quickly and efficiently in everyday business. For the interior, fill the product into a Sprayboy, spray it onto a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003esoft microfiber care pad\u003c\/a\u003e, and spread it evenly on the plastic. Do not spray directly onto the surface — first, this avoids overspray on windows and displays, and second, you have better control over the dosage. A thin, even application is sufficient; thicker layers do not produce a better result but only dry slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDilution with water up to 1:2 is a practical feature that many products do not offer. For the dashboard and center console, we recommend the diluted version — the result is a subtle, silky sheen that does not cause glare in sunlight. Especially in vehicles with large, light dashboards, too much shine can reflect on the windshield and impair visibility. For door panels and plastic parts in the trunk, it can be used undiluted, as the glare effect plays no role here, and a more intensive color refreshing effect is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the exterior, PlasticCare demonstrates its strength on unpainted plastic parts: Bumper strips, mirror caps, wheel arch trims, and decorative strips that have turned gray due to UV radiation regain their dark color. The effect is not permanent — it diminishes after a few weeks outdoors and several washes — but for detailing before a sale or as a regular maintenance measure, it is convincing. Those seeking more durable protection on exterior plastics can use PlasticCare as a pre-treatment and then apply \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-plastic-rubber-kunststoffversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/a\u003e as a long-term sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant during application: Do not work on hot surfaces. PlasticCare needs a moment to dry evenly — on heated plastic, the aqueous component evaporates too quickly, and uneven spots can occur. Ideally, work at room temperature or in the shade. The same applies to storage: Protect from frost, as the aqueous formula can be damaged at sub-zero temperatures. A frozen product can lose its uniform consistency and should no longer be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a typical car interior, you will need about 20 to 30 milliliters of concentrate when diluted — meaning one liter of PlasticCare is sufficient for about thirty to forty complete interior treatments. For vehicles with particularly much plastic in the interior, such as SUVs or vans, expect double that amount. This efficiency is one of the reasons why PlasticCare is ultimately cheaper than cheap products despite the higher initial cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngine Compartment Preservation — The Underestimated Area of Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngine compartment preservation is an area that many detailers neglect or cover with specialized products. PlasticCare offers a practical advantage here: It handles this task as well, without you needing an additional product. The optimal time is directly after engine washing — the engine compartment is clean, the surfaces are still slightly damp, and PlasticCare can be spread particularly evenly and quickly on the damp surfaces because the water acts as a lubricant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe process: First, blow off excess water in recesses, at plug connections, and on the ignition system with compressed air. Then, spray PlasticCare undiluted with the Sprayboy evenly onto the plastic covers. The preservation protects against renewed soiling, prevents roughening and graying due to heat, oil vapors, and environmental influences, and gives the engine compartment a clean, consistently well-maintained appearance. During vehicle valuation — whether used car sales, lease returns, or vehicle inspections — a well-maintained engine compartment makes a measurable difference in the overall impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note: PlasticCare is also excellent for camping vehicles and commercial vehicles, where the engine compartment is often exposed to more severe dirt than in cars. The solvent-free formula is harmless to rubber seals and cable insulation in the engine compartment — both materials that can be attacked by solvent-based preservatives. For electric and hybrid vehicles, the gentle formula is also a plus, as sensitive high-voltage cable sheaths and electronic connectors are not stressed by aggressive chemicals. A clean, preserved engine compartment signals during the main inspection and every workshop visit that the vehicle is carefully maintained — a detail that experienced inspectors and buyers immediately notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic Care Comparison — PlasticCare vs. XTREME Plastic Sealant vs. Cockpit Spray\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to PROFILINE PlasticCare, the SONAX range also includes the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-kunststoff-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Plastic Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e. The difference: The XTREME variant is positioned as a consumer product and offers a ceramic sealing component that primarily aims for protection. PROFILINE PlasticCare, on the other hand, is the choice for professional use because it can be diluted, is available in large containers (1 l, 5 l, 25 l), and covers engine compartment preservation in addition to care. For daily operational use with dozens of vehicles per week, PlasticCare is the more economical and versatile solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClassic cockpit sprays from hardware stores are no serious comparison. They are almost exclusively based on silicone oil, create an artificial high gloss that is undesirable in professional detailing, and offer no real care or regeneration. They do not belong on a vehicle in a detailing business — they leave residues that interfere with later ceramic sealing and must be laboriously removed. PlasticCare, on the other hand, is compatible with all common sealing systems and does not form problematic silicone layers. This is a crucial point for businesses that offer ceramic coatings in addition to detailing: With PlasticCare, you care for the plastic without creating problems for later coating work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers seeking a complete care system, the combination of PlasticCare for plastic, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE RubberCare\u003c\/a\u003e for rubber and tires, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-leatherprotection-lederpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherProtection\u003c\/a\u003e for leather provides comprehensive coverage of all interior materials. Each product specializes in its material and delivers better results than a universal interior product that can do \"a little bit\" of everything. Those who shy away from building such a material-specific system can start with PlasticCare alone to achieve a significant quality leap compared to universal products — the other specialized products can then be added step by step as needed and as customers appreciate the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Benefits from SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare is aimed at detailing businesses, car dealerships, and workshops that care for vehicle interiors and engine compartments daily. The 5-liter container is the most economical option for businesses with high throughput — and the 25-liter canister is even cheaper for large businesses or detailing chains. The ability to dilute with water makes PlasticCare one of the most efficient plastic care products on the market: One liter yields three liters of ready-to-use solution when diluted 1:2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor used car detailers, PlasticCare is particularly valuable because it quickly and visibly regenerates faded plastics — exactly what customers notice at first glance into the interior. A freshly treated dashboard with a natural shine conveys the impression of a well-maintained vehicle, and experience shows that this noticeably increases the achievable selling price. In combination with thorough interior cleaning — for example, with SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar as a pre-cleaner — PlasticCare provides the optical finish that makes the difference between \"clean\" and \"detailed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest note: PlasticCare is a care and preservation product, not a permanent sealant. On highly UV-exposed exterior plastics, the effect diminishes after a few weeks and must be renewed. Those looking for a long-term solution for exterior plastics should use PlasticCare as a care base and then apply a ceramic sealant over it. In the interior, where UV exposure is lower, the effect lasts significantly longer. For its intended use — professional plastic care in everyday detailing — SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare is one of the most convincing solutions on the market: efficient, versatile, and with results that speak for themselves. Whether interior, engine compartment, or exterior plastics — PlasticCare is the product that should not be missing from any professional detailing equipment. Once you have used it in daily operations, you will quickly realize that cockpit sprays and cheap plastic care products are a thing of the past — not because it is more expensive, but because it simply works better and is even cheaper in the long run. The crucial difference is evident not only in the immediate result but above all in its durability and compatibility with subsequent care steps and sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57344841843023,"sku":"D1-SNX-2054050","price":16.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57344841875791,"sku":"D1-SNX-2055000","price":69.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 liters","offer_id":57344841908559,"sku":"D1-SNX-2057050","price":207.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare_1000ml.png?v=1774741150"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege","title":"PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" Plastic Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRestore Weathered Plastics and Protect Them Permanently — SONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can a deep plastic treatment do that normal plastic care products cannot?

Many care products only coat the surface superficially and are washed off again with the next rain or wash. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e goes deeper: the silicone-free gel formula penetrates the pores of the plastic, nourishes the material from within, and permanently restores the original color depth — with durability that lasts through several washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep action instead of surface coating.\u003c\/strong\u003e The gel formula is designed to penetrate the microporous structure of exterior plastics. Normal plastic has a porous surface that loses plasticizers over time — the result is fading and a grey, dull look. The PlasticProtectant penetrates these pores and supplies the material with active care ingredients that perform a plasticizer-like function and regenerate the surface from within. Surface coatings would not achieve this deep action and would be wiped away at the first contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-lasting protection that holds through several washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e A common criticism of plastic care products is their short durability — after the first rain or shampoo wash, the effect is gone. The PROFILINE PlasticProtectant is designed for continuous professional use: the formula withstands several high-pressure cleaner passes and shampoo washes. For detailing businesses, this means that plastic care does not have to be repeated every time the vehicle visits — a clear efficiency advantage compared to less durable products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free formula — safe for painted areas, rubber, and wraps.\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone in plastic care products is a known problem in detailing businesses: it oversprays onto paint, makes surfaces unsuitable for new paint jobs and wraps, and leaves residues on window frames that interfere with subsequent glass sealants. The PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" contains no silicone — it can therefore be used safely close to painted surfaces and rubber seals, without residues interfering with further detailing workflow.\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 optimal results, clean the plastic of dirt, old care product residues, and silicone residues from previous products using a plastic cleaner or a mild all-purpose cleaner before application. Old residues on the surface prevent the PlasticProtectant from penetrating deeply — the effect is then significantly less than on a cleaned surface. Distribute the product thinly on an application sponge or a soft cloth and work it into the surface. Less is more: a thin film is more effective than a thick layer that dries on the surface and becomes streaky. Before application, bring the plastic to room temperature — on ice-cold plastic, the gel penetrates more slowly and is more likely to leave a surface film than a deep effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSilicone-free Deep Plastic Treatment — How Plastic Protectant Revitalizes Weathered Exterior Plastic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROFILINE range from SONAX stands for formulas with higher active ingredient concentrations than the consumer line — for the PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\", this means a higher proportion of the active care ingredients responsible for the deep action. These active ingredients are low-molecular, i.e., small enough to penetrate the microporous structure of hard plastic. Standard plastic care products often rely on silicones because they dry quickly and provide immediate high gloss — but silicone does not penetrate the plastic, it only sits on top. The PlasticProtectant, however, works with polar care oils and polymers that are chemically akin to the polypropylene and polyamide plastics that dominate automotive construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV protection components in the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e are crucial for long-term care. UV radiation is the main cause of plastic fading: it breaks down the molecular chains on the surface, oxidizes the surface, and drives out the plasticizers that give the plastic its color and elasticity. UV stabilizers in the formula absorb or reflect UV radiation before it can damage the plastic. Regular application of the PlasticProtectant continuously builds up this UV protective film and maintains the original color depth more permanently than without protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor severely weathered plastics that are already noticeably grey and brittle, a two-part treatment is recommended: first, plastic restoration with an abrasive deep care product that can mechanically remove the oxidized layer; then the PlasticProtectant as a long-term protective finish. The PlasticProtectant alone can visually improve very severely weathered plastic, but cannot fully restore it to a new condition if the damage has penetrated deep into the material. As a care product for well-maintained or moderately weathered plastic, however, it is optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mode of action differs slightly on various plastic types: Polypropylene (PP), the most common exterior plastic for bumpers and sills, is relatively non-polar and readily absorbs the care formulas. Polycarbonate (PC) in headlight housings and some mirror trims is somewhat smoother and less porous — here, a second application after the first penetration can be useful to enhance the deep action. ABS plastics in trim strips and exterior trims have a finer surface structure and absorb the PlasticProtectant more slowly due to lower porosity — here, a longer exposure time (10–15 minutes instead of 5) is optimal before removing excess product. The product is compatible with all common automotive plastics; however, a quick visual test on a small area before full treatment is still recommended for older or unknown plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts suitability for rubber parts is an additional benefit: rubber on window seals, door frames, and bumper edges also loses plasticizers due to UV and ozone exposure and becomes brittle over time. The PlasticProtectant can be applied to these rubber parts and provides them with the same care components as the plastic. This simplifies the care workflow: one product for unpainted exterior plastic and adjacent rubber parts, without having to switch between products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Plastic Protectant Exterior — Application, Thin Layer, and Common Mistakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct application of PlasticProtectant begins with preparing the plastic: completely cleaned, dry, and brought to approximately room temperature. Apply a small drop of the gel product to a closed foam applicator or a microfiber cloth and work it evenly into the plastic surface with small circular movements. The gel's consistency allows for controlled dosing — it does not run, does not form drops, and stays where it is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake during application: too much product at once. A thick film on the plastic initially looks intensely glossy, but dries unevenly and leaves streaky, whitish areas after drying. The optimal amount is far less than expected — the product should penetrate, not sit on the surface. A second, thin application after the first has penetrated is more effective than a single thick application. After application, allow 5–10 minutes for it to work, then use a dry, clean microfiber cloth to remove any excess product and simultaneously distribute the shine evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor bumpers with deep structures and honeycomb patterns, a fine detailing brush is recommended to work the gel into the recesses. Structured exterior plastics have more surface area than flat parts and accordingly require slightly more product — but still apply thinly so that no residues dry in the recesses. A common problem with bumper honeycombs is the drying of care product in the corners, which becomes visible as white residue after drying. Thanks to its clear, gel-like formula, PlasticProtectant has less tendency to leave white residues than silicone-based products — but it can still occur with excessive application. Apply thinly and work out any excess is the solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUV Protection and Durability — How Many Washes the Protection Endures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" depends on several factors: frequency of car washes, water temperature during washing, mechanical contact in the car wash, and sun\/UV exposure of the vehicle. Under normal conditions — monthly washing, moderate sun exposure — the built-up protection lasts 4–8 weeks at a level significantly above untreated plastic. With weekly washing or intensive high-pressure contact, durability shortens accordingly, but remains longer than with superficial competitor products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional detailing businesses, the long-lasting effect means that plastic care does not always have to be repeated for vehicles accepted for several weeks. A vehicle brought for full detailing, whose plastics are treated with PlasticProtectant, remains in optimal condition for 4-6 weeks with normal use by the vehicle owner. This reduces complaints due to quickly fading plastics and saves time in the detailing business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important practical aspect: the first application on severely weathered plastic often does not yet show the full result. The weathered, porous plastic quickly absorbs the first PlasticProtectant application and fills the deepest pores; the shine and color depth improve significantly, but not to the maximum. A second application after the first has fully penetrated (and a third in the case of very severe weathering) brings the deep effect to its optimum. This build-up approach — multiple thin layers instead of one thick one — is more efficient and delivers a more even, deeper result than a single intensive application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles that are heavily exposed to the sun — e.g., in countries with intense sunlight or during summer parking outdoors — a monthly refresher is recommended. The UV protection components are used up faster by strong sun exposure as they absorb the UV energy that would otherwise damage the plastic. A quick refresher only takes a few minutes per vehicle and permanently protects the plastics from the greyish aging effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" in Comparison — vs. PlasticCare and vs. PlasticGel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX plastic care range, there are clear positional differences. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/a\u003e is also a PROFILINE product, but designed for broader application on painted and unpainted plastics — it is more universal, but not as specialized for deep action on heavily weathered exterior plastics. For vehicles with mixed plastic surfaces (interior + exterior, painted + unpainted), PlasticCare offers a practical single-product solution; for exclusively unpainted exterior plastics, the PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" is the more focused choice with stronger deep action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA comparative aspect that is often underestimated in practice: the effect on matte plastics. Some modern vehicles have matte or satin-finished exterior plastics as standard (for example, matte spoilers or exterior mirror housings). On these surfaces, a glossy plastic care product would destroy the desired matte effect and create glossy spots. When applied thinly, the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant has a subtle, unobtrusive gloss level — with very thin application and thorough working in, it can also be used on matte plastics without completely destroying the matte look. For explicitly matte surfaces, however, a product specifically developed for matte surfaces is recommended, which is guaranteed not to produce a high-gloss effect. For normal, slightly glossy exterior plastics, the PlasticProtectant is the standard choice in the PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-kunststoffgel-aussen-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME PlasticGel \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the consumer version for the same application area: unpainted exterior plastics. It has similar application properties to the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant but a lower concentration of active ingredients — ideal for occasional users who care for their vehicle once or twice a year. The PROFILINE product is designed for continuous professional use and delivers more active ingredient density per application — this pays off significantly more on severely weathered surfaces and in businesses that treat many vehicles daily than the consumer version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor rubber care near window seals and door frames, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE RubberCare\u003c\/a\u003e is the complementary choice: it is specially formulated for the elasticity regeneration of rubber and contains different active ingredients than the PlasticProtectant. For exterior sill rubbers and window frames, a combination is recommended: PlasticProtectant for the plastic surfaces, RubberCare for the adjacent rubber seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying Plastic Care — For Whom the SONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" is the Right Choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first choice for professional detailing businesses that treat exterior plastics daily and require a long-lasting, silicone-free solution. One liter of product, with thin application, is sufficient for many vehicle sets — the container size is geared towards continuous professional use. For private users with one or two vehicles who want to keep their plastic in top optical condition permanently, the 1-liter bottle is also economically viable in the long term: with thin application, the consumption per vehicle is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PlasticProtectant is particularly relevant for vehicle owners with vehicles older than 5 years, as exterior plastics typically lose significant color depth after this time without care — even if the vehicle is washed regularly. Vehicles whose exterior plastic is already noticeably faded — grey spoilers, dull bumpers, bleached sill panels — are particularly affected. A single intensive treatment immediately shows the difference; regular care afterwards permanently maintains the regenerated condition. As a verified SONAX specialist dealer, Detailing1 permanently carries the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" in its range in the 1-liter container size for continuous professional use. The product is ready to use immediately — no dilution, no preparation, directly from the bottle to the applicator and get started.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57345086325071,"sku":"D1-SNX-2103000","price":21.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior_1liter.png?v=1774731882"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.pl\/en\/collections\/kunststoffpflege.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
