Tip more Gsf in but skimp on water and you get thin foam instead of a creamy blanket. Rule of thumb: fill the mixing bottle two-thirds with warm water, then dose 20 ml per litre. With soft water under 8 °dH bump the dose up a touch; with hard water from 14 °dH ease off — otherwise you end up with stringy foam that's a pain to rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAnd always work onto wet, pre-rinsed paint. Dry paint means the foam grinds loose grit into the surface — the most common beginner mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam lance, 20 ml, let the foam sheet off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou lay the Gsf down on a wet, pre-rinsed car — never on dry paint, or you'll drag loose grit across the surface when you rinse. Knock the heavy dirt, bugs and bird muck off with the pressure washer first. A quick clear-water rinse beforehand takes 30 seconds and saves the clear coat from needless swirls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInto the foam lance goes 20 ml of Gsf per litre of water, which is about 1:50. Lay the foam on bottom to top so the run-off doesn't draw clean streaks through the dirt. Let it dwell 4–6 minutes, shorter in the sun — the foam mustn't dry on, or it'll leave streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse top to bottom thoroughly with clear water. Foam left in the panel gaps points to too little water pressure or too short a rinse. Whatever's still on the paint after that belongs to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/autoshampoo\"\u003ecar shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e step of the two-bucket wash. The pre-wash doesn't replace the shampoo, it just cuts down how much grit ends up in your wash mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't got a foam lance on the pressure washer, you can put the Gsf on with a pump sprayer instead — the foam comes out a lot flatter there and doesn't last as long. For a manual bucket wash, dose 50 ml in 10 litres of water, about two pumps from a trigger bottle. That's comfortably enough foam for a mid-size car, anything from a Golf up to an E-Class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_anwendung.png?v=1778625656\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – foam lance spraying thick cleaning foam onto the 911 Turbo S\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003epH-neutral means your coating stays put\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest difference from active pre-wash foams like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Green Star\u003c\/a\u003e is the pH. Gsf sits at 7.5, Green Star at around 11. On uncoated paint that doesn't matter; on a ceramic coating it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudies and hands-on testing show it: strongly alkaline cleaners above pH 10 break down the topcoat of ceramic coatings measurably faster. If you want to get 12 or 24 months of life out of your coating, you're better off with a pH-neutral weekly wash. The Gsf is built for exactly that — ongoing care instead of a one-off deep clean. The coating's hydrophobic effect stays intact, and the water beads after the wash just like it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Gsf hits its limits: baked-on bugs on the front end, tar spots on the sills, brake dust on the wheels or hardened pollen — it won't shift those. For that you reach for the specialists — \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003ebug remover\u003c\/a\u003e, tar remover or wheel cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the car's really dirty and you want to turn the Gsf into an active foam, add 10–30 ml of Green Star per litre of mixed foam in the lance. That pushes the pH up and gives the foam more bite — but on coated cars only as the exception, not the weekly routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_ergebnis.png?v=1778625662\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – water beading on a freshly washed bonnet\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor coated cars, and honest limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gsf suits anyone who washes on a routine and runs a coated or waxed car. The logic is simple: clean gently and often rather than aggressively and rarely. If you make the wash a fixed weekly habit, the Gsf takes you furthest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less of a fit for body shops, seasonal cars coming off a long lay-up, or the spring clean after winter — there active foams with a higher pH have the edge, because the dirt is long past what the Gsf can dissolve. And if you don't own a foam lance and only run a pressure sprayer, the Gsf will give you foam, but never the consistency and dwell time of a proper lance on a pressure washer. For that case a spray-on pre-cleaner makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre bottle covers around 50 washes, the 5-litre can 250. If you look after more than one car or work in a detailing studio, the 5-litre container runs about 30 percent cheaper per wash. Pair it with a pH-neutral shampoo like the Koch-Chemie Nanomagic Shampoo or GYEON Q² Bathe+ for the two-bucket wash, and a drying towel to finish, and you've got the full weekly workflow for a well-kept car — from the first jet of water to the last drop, without ever attacking your coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature cherry scent is a matter of taste, but it rarely divides opinion — most detailers find it a lot more pleasant than the soapy standard smell of many competitor products. In closed garages or wash bays the smell doesn't linger after rinsing, which is a handy detail in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst time you run the Gsf, don't be stingy with the dose. 20 ml per litre is the floor for a visible foam blanket. On really dirty cars or with hard tap water, go a pump higher. The extra 4–5 cents a wash is nothing next to a weaker result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame goes for the water pressure at the washer: under 100 bar the foam stays thin; from 130 bar it turns creamy and sits thick on the paint. Running a Kärcher K7 or similar, you can crank the lance to maximum foam output. With portable battery washers the foam comes out noticeably flatter — not a product fault, just a question of pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more tip from what we see at Detailing1: before each seasonal wash in spring and autumn, swap the Gsf for an active-foam wash with Green Star. That way no pollen film and no winter salt gets a foothold — the kind the pH-neutral foam can't shift over time. The other 50 weeks of the year, the Gsf runs as your standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStick to that routine properly and even a 5-year-old coating still beads visibly — and that's exactly the point of pH-neutral care: keeping what you've got instead of constantly re-applying the coating. The pricier line in any detailing budget is always the coating itself, not the shampoo. With the Gsf you stretch the life of the coating — at minimal running cost and maximum compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_lineup_71190d38-c132-4a2c-b491-318ab5c6d172.png?v=1778657758\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – 1000 ml bottle and 5 L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494571192655,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001","price":13.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693842255,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693875023,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48494571225423,"sku":"D1-KCX-383005","price":55.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_bef958d2-c483-4332-ab33-56ecc2f968ac.png?v=1778623445"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-x-mas-gfx-reinigungsschaum","title":"Gentle Snow Foam X-Mas \"Gfx\" Cleaning Foam","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning Foam for Gentle Car Care with \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam X-Mas \"Gfx\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam X-Mas \"Gfx\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a high-quality \u003cstrong\u003ecleaning foam\u003c\/strong\u003e that stands out for its gentle and effective cleaning performance.

In the foam cannon you mix roughly 100 ml of concentrate into 900 ml of water. The 10 kg drum works out to over 100 foam-cannon fills on paper — that's the point where you start thinking in litres in the garage instead of in spray bottles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e We often see people mixing a flat 1:50 in the foam cannon, then wondering why the foam looks thin or why streaks stay on the paint. Here's why: your pressure washer dilutes the mix again at the nozzle — usually by a factor of 15 to 25, depending on flow rate. That's the so-called Panel Impact Ratio, PIR for short. Quick bucket test: spray 1 litre of water through the lance, then measure the total water in the bucket. If 20 litres come out, your machine has a PIR factor of 1:20 — so you only need a pre-dilution of 1:5 in the lance to land the VDA-compliant 1:100 on the paint. And don't work in the sun, don't let it dry on, or even the best maths won't save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam cannon, pre-diluted 1:10, three minutes' dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic application goes like this: car in the shade, paint dry or pre-rinsed, hook the foam cannon up to the pressure washer, pre-dilute the concentrate somewhere between 1:10 (winter, salt, baked-on brake dust) and 1:50 (summer, pollen, city grime) with warm water, and spray bottom to top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet it dwell three to five minutes, then start at the top with the pressure washer and work down. Unlike the compressed-air pump sprayer — where the mix in the bottle is exactly the mix that hits the paint — the pressure washer adds water at the nozzle. In the pump sprayer the realistic dilution sits at 1:20 to 1:50, with no PIR effect, and the dwell time should run one to three minutes at most, or the foam dries on. The denser foam from the lance hangs longer, stays wet, and gives you the full five-minute window the VDA defines for Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bucket you dose 1:300 — about 35 ml to 10 litres — and work with the microfibre mitt like you would with a regular shampoo. The upside over a classic pH-neutral car shampoo: the alkalinity breaks down baked-on summer grime and pollen film better. The downside: every contact wash with Af strips a little wax. If you're running a sealant, switch the contact phase over to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf\u003c\/a\u003e, which is certified wax-safe at pH 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we see day-to-day: the most common beginner mistake isn't the dilution, it's rinsing from too close. High pressure from 30 to 40 centimetres is plenty — get the nozzle in to 5 centimetres and you mechanically grind pollen and sand into the clear coat instead of washing them away. The foam has done its job; now the water jet should only carry things off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ANWENDUNG: Daniel mit Schaumkanone an Auto, dichter Sandelholz-Schaum auf Lack — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_anwendung.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCarnauba gives way. Ceramic doesn't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 9.5, Active Foam Af is clearly more alkaline than a classic pH-neutral shampoo, but moderate next to Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, which runs at pH 13 and tears wax down on contact. On intact ceramic coatings (SiO2, often pH-stable from 2 to 13) Af is harmless — plenty of detailers even reach for it deliberately to lift the traffic film that masks the coating's hydrophobic behaviour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith carnauba waxes it's a different story. A rare, correctly diluted pre-wash inside the VDA window won't strip the wax. But stand at the foam cannon with Af every single week and you'll break down the protective layer measurably faster than with a pH-neutral foam. The day-to-day rule: sealant younger than three months plus a weekly wash, then hands off Af and switch to the Gentle Snow Foam. Sealant refreshed every six months, or a ceramic coating, and Af makes a sensible deep pre-wash between your maintenance washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Af also won't shift: deep-set mineral water spots — for those the acidic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo Rs\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call, because it pulls limescale plugs out of the coating's pores. Baked-on bugs are too much for the foam as well. There you grab a dedicated bug remover locally, or the highly alkaline \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e from the green line. Active Foam is an excellent pre-cleaner, not a specialist for every kind of dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ERGEBNIS: Lack mit Wassersaitenmuster nach Spülung, sauber und matt-feucht glänzend — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_ergebnis.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailers, car washes and ambitious home users\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive Foam Af comes out of Koch-Chemie's pro range in Unna, yellow-coded like all the wash-chemistry products and available in pack sizes up to the 210 kg barrel. In rollover washes and self-service bays Af is an industry standard, because the thick foam visually signals a premium wash and the sandalwood scent works as an argument for higher programme prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the home user, Af pays off once the foam cannon is already hanging off a strong enough pressure washer — you have to physically work out the PIR once yourself, because every pump draws differently. The 1-litre bottle is the easy way in for a single car and lasts about three to four months on a fortnightly pre-wash. The 10 kg drum starts to pay from the second car on, or in the detailing hobby, because the per-litre price drops noticeably and you just decant the concentrate into an empty spray bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetailers and workshops usually reach for the 21 kg or 210 kg pack, because at 3 to 8 millilitres of usage per car in a rollover system the unit cost runs towards nothing. The 210 kg barrel goes out by freight forwarder with us — and yes, Active Foam is phosphate- and NTA-free, so it's cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is a must for commercial wash lines on a closed water loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've moved into a sealant routine and mainly want to hold the hydrophobic effect, switch your maintenance wash to the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eGentle Snow Foam\u003c\/a\u003e and only pull the Active Foam out every few weeks for the deep pre-wash. If you keep an older car clean of everyday grime and have no wax layer to protect, you're better off with Af as your standard pre-cleaner than with any milder foam. In the current spring trend, where pollen and Sahara dust are measurably driving searches for car foam cleaner in the DACH region versus last year, this pre-wash logic matters more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe the most important Detailing1 note to finish on: the sandalwood scent isn't a marketing gimmick. Highly concentrated anionic surfactants smell sharp and biting on their own — the scent is an odour binder that makes working in enclosed spaces bearable. The fact that customers at wash lines link the smell with cleanliness and premium care and accept higher programme prices is the economic bonus layer on top. For your own garage it mainly means: ventilate well, don't work in a closed hall with no fresh air, and always label the spray bottle with its contents once you've decanted the concentrate from the 10 kg drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 LINEUP: Active Foam 1L + 10kg Kanister + Schaumkanone als Workflow-Stillleben — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_lineup.png --\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":49515049288015,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001","price":9.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":18.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":27.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":48.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":98.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":959.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum.png?v=1726400580"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colorful-blue-cb-farbkonzentrat-blau","title":"Colorful Blue \"Cb\" Colour Concentrate Blue","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe emotional wash experience with coloured car shampoo.

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

If Snow Foam contactlessly removes most of the dirt beforehand, significantly less dirt enters the shampoo bucket – the system works more effectively, and the paint is treated more gently.

When dirt particles are mechanically dragged across the paint during hand washing, they create scratches in the clear coat – the classic wash scratches or swirls. Q²M Foam addresses the problem at its root: dirt is first chemically loosened before being mechanically removed.

The diagnosis is usually the same: pH 9.5 cleans reliably, but degrades polymer sealants over weeks. Switching to pH 8.5 reduces the alkaline load by a factor of 10 and cleans almost identically in daily operations. Those who perform decontamination washes before machine polishing stick with Active Foam—those who maintain sealants are right with Ultra Foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Ultra Foam: cold bodywork, thin film, five minutes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpraying Ultra Foam neat onto the paint risks caustic stains on anodized trim—dilute to a maximum of one percent application concentration in the foam lance and never use undiluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis concentration is also the threshold at which the mild-alkaline cleaning effect visibly begins. In the consumption channel of gantry car washes, the dosage is typically 3 to 8 ml per vehicle. For hand washing, dilutions of up to 1:300 are sufficient for a pure maintenance wash. Practically, this means: a 1L bottle is sufficient for about 200 vehicle pre-washes in hand washing, and the 5L container for about 1,000 applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bodywork must be cold and in the shade. At air temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius or in direct sun, the carrier water dries faster than the mild caustic can act—the local concentration increases, and you get water spots on the paint or milky streaks on anodized aluminum trim. From our experience: always check the paint temperature with the palm of your hand; if the paint feels warm, apply a deluge of water until it is below skin temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply in a crosshatch pattern from bottom to top to prevent run marks from drying.

In unheated self-service bays, the viscosity loses its fluidity, and the dosing pump draws unevenly. The professional solution: pre-dilute the concentrate in the reservoir with warm water to 1:5 to 1:10 before it goes into the lance's Venturi valve. This simultaneously solves two problems—pump cavitation with cold concentrate and uneven foam formation with simple foam cannons. A \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/schaumsprueher\"\u003efoam cannon\u003c\/a\u003e with at least 100 bar high pressure provides the mechanical reserve that compensates for fluctuating concentrate viscosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSubstrates, Sealants, Limits: where the Sweet Spot ends\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltra Foam is safe on intact clear coats, unpainted polypropylene bumpers (the thermoplastic polymer from which modern bumpers and trim are made), glass, and rubber seals. When used correctly, it leaves no streaks or water spots—provided the five-minute rule is observed and the bodywork is in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith sealants, the real strength of pH 8.5 becomes apparent: modern ceramic coatings made of cross-linked silicon oxides—the covalent Si-O-Si matrix, a three-dimensional glass network on the paint—are insensitive to the mild-alkaline surfactant solution because these bonds are chemically orders of magnitude more stable than the ester film of a wax. This means for you: your coating's durability is maintained. Polymer sealants also last significantly longer than with pH 9.5—the factor of 10 in caustic concentration directly translates into measurably longer protective layer durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limitation: thinly applied carnauba waxes can still be undermined by weekly high concentrations (1:10 instead of 1:100). Carnauba is a plant ester wax that is gradually broken down by repeated caustic contact. If you maintain a hand wax as value-preserving protection, you do not use Ultra Foam at full concentration as a weekly maintenance foam—for this niche, the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum\"\u003eGentle Snow Foam \"Gsf\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice, same manufacturer, different application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn glass and unpainted polypropylene, the product is uncritical as long as it doesn't dry. On glass, burnt-in caustic leaves mineral streaks that can only be removed with acidic glass cleaner. Rubber seals withstand short exposures perfectly; with continuous use or concentrations above one percent, the caustic extracts plasticizers and the lip becomes brittle—the same mechanism as with stronger sister products, only significantly slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaboo are hot brake discs after highway driving, black hoods in the midday sun, sun-exposed dark rims—everywhere the water evaporates too quickly, and the surfactants burn into the clear coat as light streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate is classified as irritating to skin and eyes.
