A sponge that is too dense will not absorb these products at all; a sponge that is too porous will let them through immediately and distribute them unevenly. The \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Sponge\u003c\/strong\u003e has the right porosity for precisely this product class: It absorbs the care product evenly and releases it in a controlled manner during application — no dripping on the floor, no excessive application in one spot. For exterior plastic parts — bumpers, door trims, mirror housings, underbody protection — the sponge is the fastest and cleanest method for applying care products. Inside, it is suitable for dashboard plastics, door panels, and rubber gaiters on door seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication for plastic, rubber, and leather care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply care product to the sponge — never spray directly onto the surface, as overspray on glass or paint is difficult to remove. Apply with even pressure to the plastic or rubber surface. For heavily textured surfaces (e.g., bumpers with deep texture), work the sponge with slightly more pressure so that the product penetrates into all depressions. Wipe off excess after a short exposure time with a dry microfiber cloth. For leather care: Apply product to the sponge, work it into the leather structure in a circular motion, then let it dry. Wash the sponge after use and let it dry — do not allow product residues to dry out in the foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSponge as an addition to the Puck — the right applicators for every purpose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie offers two applicators for different tasks: The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-applikator-handpolierschwamm-puck\"\u003e\"Puck\" hand polishing sponge\u003c\/a\u003e (77 × 47 mm) for thicker products such as hand wax and for manual polishing work, and this sponge (12 × 10 × 5 cm) for thin to medium-viscosity care and care milk products. The sponge has a larger working surface and is more efficient for quickly working on extensive plastic surfaces; the Puck is grippier and better for targeted detail work. Both complement each other in a complete detailing kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's practical tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e When caring for black plastic trims and bumpers, we recommend first dusting the surface with a dry microfiber cloth, then applying the care product with the sponge. Not too much at once — rather two thin applications than one thick one. Immediately remove any excess product on glass or paint while it is still wet — dried plastic care on glass is stubborn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich care products are suitable for the Koch-Chemie Sponge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sponge is suitable for all Koch-Chemie plastic, rubber, and leather care products — especially for products of medium to lower viscosity such as plastic care milk, rubber care sprays (apply to the sponge after spraying), and leather care lotions. Not recommended for very viscous products such as highly concentrated leather waxes or polishes — for these, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-applikator-handpolierschwamm-puck\"\u003ePuck\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Sponge the right choice for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who regularly maintains plastic, rubber, and leather surfaces in and on the vehicle. The size of 12 × 10 × 5 cm makes it particularly efficient for extensive plastic surfaces such as bumpers and wheel arch liners, where a smaller applicator would require too many passes. At its affordable price, it is advisable to keep several sponges — labeled separately depending on the care product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the Koch-Chemie Sponge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Sponge used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n      \u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Sponge (12 × 10 × 5 cm) is an applicator sponge for applying plastic, rubber, and leather care products.
