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

Lukewarm water (25-30 °C) cuts through dirt noticeably faster than cold, and the foam should sit on a panel for 60 to 90 seconds at most before you rinse. Work in full sun and let the foam dry on, and you'll pull water spots and streaks onto the paint, which happens with any shampoo, not just As. Order of play: roof first, bonnet second, rear third, sides last, so no panel dries off before the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:5, 1:10 or 1:15, the dilution decides foam and cleaning power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\", the dilution ratio controls foam volume, cleaning power and how kind it is to the paint, all at once. Stick to the same concentration every time and you either leave cleaning power on the table or burn through product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard hand-wash dilution is 1:15, about 65 ml of As in 10 litres of bucket water, which gives you a medium-creamy foam that clings well on vertical panels and rinses off clean with no residue. For dirtier cars after a long motorway run or van use, step up to 1:10 (around 100 ml in 10 litres); for cars parked outside all the time with baked-on pollen and bird mess, go to 1:5 (200 ml in 10 litres).

If the car gets washed one to four times a month, the paint is looked after normally but not ceramic-sealed, and there's no pricey coating-maintenance workflow running, As is the most economical and chemically sensible standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactivation Shampoo \"Rs\" steps in where a ceramic coating is under 18 months old and you want to reactivate it on every wash. Rs has a pH-neutral character and contains polymers that bond to the coating's SiO₂ structure and rebuild the hydrophobic beading. For a plain wash with no coating involved, Rs makes no sense, the extra cost per litre only pays off when a coating actually exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Effect Shampoo \"Ces\" is the premium option with an extra SiO₂ boost; it brings a mini coating refresh to every wash and suits cars with no permanent coating that should still show hydrophobic behaviour between detailing sessions. If you get a professional sealant done every four to six months, Ces carries you past the Reactivation level in between, without laying down a coating of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRule of thumb for the buying call: As for uncoated paint and solid upkeep, Rs for existing coatings under 18 months, Ces for premium care without a coating. A 1-litre bottle of As lasts about eight to ten months on one car a month; the 10-litre container is built for detailers and multi-car households running two or more washes a week.

Loose grit comes off first with the pressure washer — sand and brake dust have no business in your wash mitt. Then two \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-detailing-bucket-wascheimer-20l\"\u003ewash buckets\u003c\/a\u003e with grit guards side by side, one for the shampoo solution, one with clean water to rinse out the mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wash top to bottom, panel by panel. Roof first, sills last. After each panel wring the mitt out in the rinse bucket, then load up on shampoo again. Important: don't soap up the whole car — work panel by panel and rinse straight off with clean water. Aw is fast, but once the foam dries on you're starting half the panel over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo dry, a thick microfibre towel around 950 gsm or the leaf blower. Both keep off the limescale marks that show up half an hour later when water droplets run down and evaporate. If you want to freshen the car up on top of that, follow Aw with a second cleaning workflow from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/autoshampoo\"\u003eshampoo category\u003c\/a\u003e — pre-wash, snow foam or quick detailer, depending on what the car needs. Aw is the base, not the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running the foam lance, you mix Aw into the supply tank beforehand. The exact dilution depends on the foam insert and the water pressure — we start at 1:20 and dial it in after the first pass. Too thin means no all-over foam that clings long enough. Too thick means the concentrate drips off as a syrupy film and streaks later. Visual cue: the foam should sit on paint and glass for around 60 to 90 seconds, then come off top-down with the pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" in use in the bucket' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw attacks coatings. In the driveway it stays in the canister.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 7.5 Aktivwäsche Aw is almost neutral, but it carries a slightly alkaline kick — which is exactly what you want when the paint needs to be stripped clean before polishing or sealing. That same kick, though, attacks existing coatings, wax layers and SiO2 sealants over time. If you want to maintain a fresh ceramic coating rather than strip it, reach for Koch-Chemie NanoMagic Shampoo Nms at a mild-acidic pH 5.5, or the Glanzwachsshampoo Gw with wax content. Aw is the tool for cleaning, not for preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is the dry time. Detailers abroad describe Aw as „tricky to finish washing the whole car before the concentrate dries on the paint\". That's true: in direct sun, on hot metal or at outside temperatures over 25 °C, Aw runs out of headroom. Shade, cool metal and working panel by panel aren't a suggestion, they're a must. Skip that and you pick up streaks and, in the worst case, spot etching on horizontal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third limit is legal: even though Aw is phosphate- and NTA-free and supports biological process-water treatment, washing a car with shampoo on private property is banned under the German Water Resources Act. The issue isn't the surfactants but the oil, brake dust and tar residue that would run into the groundwater with the rinse water. That's why Aw is only allowed at self-service bays with an oil separator or at wash systems with a process-water loop. Fines run into five figures depending on the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to maintain an active ceramic sealant, reach for a mild maintenance shampoo from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie line\u003c\/a\u003e.

Professional detailers who need a reliable paint pre-clean between polishing stations and sealing work, without the next week's coating layer getting attacked. Wash-system operators and fleet managers who have to cost it out at cents per vehicle and still want VDA Class A. And hobby pros with a workshop streak who work at the self-service bay or with their own lift and want one concentrate to last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw is less of a fit for the classic Sunday washer in the driveway — both practically (dry time too short, uncontrollable without shade) and legally (Water Resources Act). If you're allowed to wash privately in the driveway because your local bylaw permits it in your area, check the local rules — they aren't uniform, they differ by state and municipality. When in doubt, take the wash to a self-service bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kg canister is the entry point for professional detailers with a single site. At one hand wash of a single vehicle a week, the container lasts around four years — in practice that means the concentrate rarely runs out, it ages first. The 21 kg keg pays off from the second detailing site or at higher workload. The 210 kg container is the wash-system size for tunnels with three-digit daily throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw isn't a wow-gloss shampoo. It's the tool that preps the paint right on the mark for the next layer — whether that's a coating, a hot wax or simply clean dryness. Use Aw and put nothing on afterwards, and you're leaving performance on the table. That's pro logic: get it properly clean first, then put down exactly what you want.

The SiO₂ component is still wet on the paint right after the rinse — it needs the mechanical pressure of a soft drying towel to spread evenly and bond. Without that wipe step you get water spots instead of gloss. So plan an extra 5–10 minutes for a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-max-wash-4pockets-trockenhandtuch\"\u003elarge microfibre drying towel\u003c\/a\u003e and work section by section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-rinsed. Two buckets. One layer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces gives its best result with the two-bucket method: a wash bucket with 50 ml of Ces to 10 l of warm water, a separate rinse bucket with clean water, and a high-pile \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-microfaser-handschuh-set-oktopus-waschhandschuh\"\u003emicrofibre wash mitt\u003c\/a\u003e. The second bucket keeps the dirt out of the wash bucket — that protects the paint from wash marks and makes sure every section gets worked with a clean foam concentration. Skip the second bucket and you drag the coarsest dirt particles over the paint again and again, picking up the swirls the Ces can no longer level out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways pre-rinse before the shampoo. A pressure washer or garden hose flushes off loose sand and road salt. Skip it and you drag the coarse particles across the paint with the mitt and pick up micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith heavy soiling or a layer of bugs, run a pre-cleaner as snow foam first, otherwise the Ces works past its care component. Cars with baked-on pollen or Saharan dust need that pre-clean, no way around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways work on shaded, cool paint — not in the sun, not on a warm bonnet. Otherwise the foam dries on, leaves water spots, and the sealant effect builds up unevenly. Top to bottom, section by section, rinse each section on its own — the polymer film only forms during the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the key difference from pure cleaning shampoos: with those it doesn't matter how long the foam sits on the paint, with the Ces the result stands or falls on rinsing each section quickly. Foam the whole car and rinse only at the end, and you give away most of the sealant effect and get nothing but a standard cleaning result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne last thing to dial in is the water temperature. Lukewarm water between 25 and 35 °C activates the SiO₂ component better than cold tap water, the foam builds faster and the care film bonds more evenly. With ice-cold water in winter the paint does feel clean after the wash, but the full hydrophobic potential goes unused — better to mix in a bucket of hot water until the mix is hand-warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_anwendung.png?v=1778625630\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant two-bucket-w loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA care booster with clear limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces is Detailing1's first pick as a maintenance shampoo for cars that are already coated — not as a sealant replacement. If you've never laid down a coating, the Ces still gives you a real, visible hydrophobic effect. If you already run a ceramic coating, every wash extends its lifespan by a few weeks, because the SiO₂ care component feeds the original sealant instead of degrading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe day-to-day reports are strong: on freshly waxed or coated paint the first wash brings a noticeably richer depth of gloss, with water beading off in 3–5 mm drops. Verified buyers at Trusted Shops regularly mention a visible beading effect and a pleasant berry-almond scent — a rarity from a pro-grade maker like Koch-Chemie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHonest about the limits: on unwaxed, uncoated paint the sealant effect lasts about 2–4 weeks, depending on the weather. In constant rain or with road salt in winter, shorter. If you want a permanent coating with 12+ months of lifespan, there's no getting around a proper ceramic coating. If you want to maintain and refresh in between, the Ces is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already have an older coating that's slowly getting tired, reach for the specialised \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs-auto-shampoo-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e — it reactivates the SiO₂ bond more deliberately than the Ces. And if you're washing the car right before applying a coating, don't reach for the Ces: the polymer film gets in the way of the new sealant bonding. For that, a neutral prep shampoo with no care component is the right choice, otherwise the prep work was for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_ergebnis.png?v=1778625636\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant beading effect on paint loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Ces pays off for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ces is the right call for car owners who wash every 1–2 weeks, want a clean finish, but don't want to wax or coat on a regular basis. You put in 20–30 minutes per wash and get a result that comes surprisingly close to a heavily polished show car — without the polishing step. Especially relevant for high-mileage city drivers, commuters with an underground parking spot, and anyone with a coated car who wants to actively extend its lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess suited is the Ces for workshops and detailers where pure cleaning power is the priority. For that, the Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche AW is the stronger pick, because the Ces hits its limits faster with deeply worked-in brake dust and bug splatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete wash workflow for this crowd it looks like this: pre-rinse with a pressure washer, snow foam for the pre-clean if needed, then a two-bucket wash with the Ces. After that, take it off section by section with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-max-wash-4pockets-trockenhandtuch\"\u003eSoft99 Max Wash drying towel\u003c\/a\u003e — no air-drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the 1L versions, Detailing1 also offers the bundle with a dosing cap — it saves time on the weekly wash and prevents over-dosing. That's the most common mistake with the Ces day-to-day: more shampoo doesn't get you a better effect, just double the consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor high-mileage drivers and multi-car households, the 5L container pays off after roughly 80 washes, because the per-litre price there runs about 30% below the 1L bottle. Wash weekly and it lasts you a good two years, with the extra cost earned back inside half a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne last Detailing1 insight for this crowd: the Ces gets better over time. On the first run on unwaxed paint the hydrophobic effect is visible but moderate. From the third or fourth wash a denser polymer film layers on, coat by coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly water beads off in a normal summer rain as if the car had just been given a spray sealant. That's the point where most buyers switch to the Ces and never give it up — no miracle worker the first time, but a reliable build-up effect across the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_lineup_8212300c-f401-47e5-ba76-e085ed4a6ee6.png?v=1778657751\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo \" ces maintenance shampoo sealant litre and loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49670904578383,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001","price":28.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Dosing Cap","offer_id":54599151452495,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001+9998149","price":33.81,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904611151,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_2","price":57.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49670904643919,"sku":"D1-KCX-811001_3","price":86.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49670904676687,"sku":"D1-KCX-811005","price":126.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-ceramic-effect-shampoo-ces-autoshampoo-versiegelung_d86bb773-4597-45d8-ad20-b521d3e869a4.png?v=1778623457"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-rapid-rinseless-wash-rrw-waschen-ohne-abspuehlen","title":"Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\" Wash without Rinsing","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWash without rinsing with Koch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience fast and effective cleaning with \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash \"Rrw\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.
