A ready-to-use, alcohol-based degreaser and inspection spray for automotive paint — it strips oil, wax and polish residue clean off and reveals the holograms and scratches that polishing oils were hiding.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLay down a ceramic sealant, a wax or a polymer coating without degreasing the paint first, and you're gambling with how long it lasts — the protection bonds to residue, not to the clearcoat itself. That's exactly where the \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Panel Preparation Spray \"Pps\"\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in: a ready-to-use, alcohol-based degreaser that gets paint dialled in right after polishing. Day-to-day, PPS is far more than a simple cleaner — it doubles as an inspection tool that tells you whether the paint is genuinely finished after polishing, or whether you've got another correction pass coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what plenty of people underestimate: polishing oils settle into fine scratches and holograms as you work them in, and they hide them from the eye. Wipe the surface with a cloth alone and that effect sticks around — so you think the paint is perfect. Only once PPS pulls every trace of oil off do you see the paint for what it really is. For pro detailers, that's a step you don't skip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady-to-use, no dilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS goes straight from the bottle onto the paint — no mixing, no dosing mistakes.

That stops you sealing a flawed surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlays nice with paint, plastic and metal:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS is formulated specifically for sensitive, freshly polished clearcoats and contains no halogenated hydrocarbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the IPA degreaser works on the paint — alcohol, wax cutting and zero residue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie PPS is built on isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and butoxyethanol — a combo that cuts through both light and more stubborn grease on paint. IPA is the industry standard for paint prep before sealants and coatings because it flashes off fast, leaves nothing behind and works broadly against non-polar stuff like waxes, silicone oils and polishing oils. The automotive-tuned formula is what makes the difference: the ingredients are matched to sensitive, high-gloss clearcoats — exactly the surfaces where too aggressive a degreaser could do microscopic damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor you, that means: you can use PPS straight after polishing without the alcohol base attacking freshly worked clearcoats. The alcohol is volatile, so the moment you've wiped it down the surface is ready for the next step. For the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-ceramic-allround-c0-02-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramic Allround C0.02 ceramic sealant\u003c\/a\u003e, PPS is the prep step we recommend: only on a fully grease-free surface can the ceramic polymer get maximum bite, and with it the full protection window of up to 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS as an inspection spray in the polishing workflow — catch holograms and scratches for sure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn pro paint correction, the inspection job of PPS matters at least as much as the degreasing. The principle: polishing oils have a filling effect — they sit in fine surface defects and make them vanish under normal light. Only once an IPA degreaser pulls those oils off completely does the clearcoat show its true state. Skip this step and you risk laying a ceramic sealant or a wax over holograms and fine scratches — the defects get sealed in and stay visible for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, you spray PPS onto the worked panel after each polishing pass and wipe it straight off with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. For the sharpest check, look the panel over under a cold light source or detailing LED right after the wipe — that's when even very fine holograms read clearly. If the panel still shows defects after the PPS check, you put in another correction pass; if it's flawless, you can go straight to the sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"rte panel\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e always grab a fresh, clean microfibre cloth for the PPS check — never the one you just polished with. Polishing-oil residue in the cloth would throw the check off. Day-to-day we'd reach for a short-pile, tightly woven microfibre polishing cloth. After the wipe, judge the panel right away under an LED hand lamp at a low angle — it shows holograms far sharper than normal room light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it and what it plays nice with — paint, plastic, metal and wheels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie PPS isn't limited to automotive paint. The gentle formula means you can use it on every smooth surface on the vehicle: clearcoat and base coat, uncoated and coated plastic, metal (e.g. chrome, aluminium), wheel faces and glass are all fair game. For motorcycles, commercial vehicles and motorhomes the same rules apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important limit: PPS is no all-purpose cleaner and no substitute for a proper pre-wash. It pulls polishing oils and light wax residue off already-cleaned surfaces — but not dried-on tar, bug splatter or brake dust. Those need their own dedicated products; only after that does PPS come in as the final degrease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS vs the rest: when does hardware-store IPA do the job, when do you need the Koch-Chemie PPS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlain isopropyl from the hardware store works for plenty of jobs — but it's often too concentrated for freshly polished, sensitive clearcoats. The Koch-Chemie PPS is built specifically for paint prep: the right concentration, maximum compatibility on clearcoat and a handy spray system for precise dosing. If you're working a high-end vehicle or degreasing after heavy machine polishing, PPS keeps you on the safer side. On top of that, PPS gives you the double duty as an inspection spray that plain hardware-store IPA doesn't. The 5-litre size is ideal for pros and workshops doing several vehicles a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Panel Preparation Spray PPS right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePPS makes sense for anyone prepping paint properly and then laying a protective layer on top.

Oils, silicones, polishing residue and release agents are invisible contaminants that wreck the chemical bond of a sealant — a surface that isn't degreased gives you patchy bonding, shorter durability and visible flaws. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/strong\u003e is the dedicated degreaser and inspection spray for this make-or-break step: fast-acting, residue-free, and at the same time usable as an inspection spray that makes any leftover contamination visible through how the light refracts off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResidue-free degreasing before sealant and coating.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polishing oils, silicones and other release agents are hydrophobic substances that cling to the paint if you don't pull them off on purpose. The Prepare loosens these contaminants and lifts them off the paint as you wipe — without leaving residue of its own that could mess with the sealant going on next. A cleanly degreased surface is the one condition that lets polymer or ceramic sealants reach their full bond and durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe inspection effect makes contamination visible.\u003c\/strong\u003e On top of cleaning, the Prepare spray has an important inspection job: spray it onto the surface and any spots with oil residue or polishing oil show a telltale running of the spray film. Spots with no contamination, on the other hand, wet out evenly. That visual cue lets you go back and clean those exact spots before the sealant goes on — a quality-control move no serious detailer leaves out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a prep spray and panel wipe in your detailing workflow.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Prepare works both as a surface degreaser before coating and as a panel wipe after paint correction (polishing) — to fully strip polishing-oil residue before sealing. So it's not just a sealing-stage product; it slots into the full reconditioning workflow (polish → panel wipe → coating) as an integral step.\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 Always use the Prepare right before you lay down the sealant or coating — not hours earlier, since dust and ambient contamination can settle straight back onto the cleaned surface. Spray it onto a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth (don't spray it straight onto the paint, to stop it running uncontrolled), wipe the panel you're about to seal, then flip to the dry side of the cloth right away to take it off. Work in a garage or an enclosed room with no draught to avoid fresh contamination. Straight after the Prepare, lay down the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-polymernetshield-lackversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PolymerNetShield\u003c\/a\u003e or a ceramic coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDegreaser and inspection spray — how the Prepare gets surfaces ready for coatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degreaser-inspection spray works off fast-evaporating solvents that loosen grease, oils and silicone residue on the paint and lift them off with the wipe cloth. Unlike water-based cleaners, these solvents leave no moisture film behind once they flash off — the evaporation is complete and residue-free, which is the ideal base for the coating going on right after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real value sits in the dual job: while the spray cleans, the visual inspection effect shows you where contamination is still hiding. That effect comes down to the different surface tension of contaminated versus clean paint: on degreased paint the spray spreads out evenly as a fine film, on contaminated paint it pulls together and shows telltale craters or beads. This matters most when the panel you're coating wasn't fully oil-free after polishing — even small amounts of polishing oil can permanently hurt a ceramic coating's bond in that spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional reconditioning, the panel-wipe step with a degreaser like the Prepare is a quality standard no serious detailer skips: ceramic coatings like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-hybridcoating-cc-one-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridCoating \"CC One\"\u003c\/a\u003e bond chemically to the clearcoat — a grease layer that blocks that bonding zone cuts the bond quality and can lead to peeling or patchy protection months down the line. The few minutes a careful degreasing step takes pay off in clearly better durability and a more even coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Prepare right — the panel-wipe workflow step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the panel-wipe spray is simple, but how cleanly you do it decides the final coating result. Prep: the car has to be fully washed and dried before the degreasing step — the Prepare is no cleaner for dirt or dust, only for oily and silicone residue on an already washed, dry surface. Water and dirt left on the surface block the degreasing effect and leave streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication: the microfibre cloth for the Prepare should be new or freshly washed — a cloth that has already soaked up polishing oil hands it straight back to the paint as you wipe and undoes the whole degreasing effect. Spray the Prepare onto the cloth (not onto the paint), so the amount of solvent stays controlled and nothing dwells uncontrolled on sensitive paint areas. Wipe across the panel with light to medium pressure — the inspection effect shows up right away: even wetting signals a clean surface, patchy spread flags up oil residue. Go back over it until the wetting is even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemoval: right after wiping with the wet side of the cloth, take it off with the dry side or a second clean cloth before the solvent flashes off fully. That way the loosened grease and oils come off the paint instead of getting rubbed back onto the surface. Lay down your chosen sealant straight after — no pause, since the degreased paint is now at its most ready to take the coating chemistry. On big cars work in sections: Prepare, then sealant right after, section by section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere you use it — when degreasing before sealing is a must\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degreaser spray is a must in several spots in the detailing workflow. The most common case is the panel wipe after paint correction: every polish frees up polishing oil that works as a lubricant and abrasive carrier between pad and paint. After polishing, that oil film sits on the paint — an even, fine, but bond-killing layer for sealants. The Prepare strips this film fully and gets the freshly polished clearcoat ready for sealing right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second common use is prep for protective films (PPF — Paint Protection Film): films bond with adhesive layers on the paint and need an absolutely oil- and silicone-free surface for the best bond and edge sealing. Even small silicone spots under the film can lead to air bubbles, incomplete bonding and later peeling — a flawless degreasing step with the Prepare is therefore a particular pro standard on PPF jobs. Degreasing also matters when re-sealing cars that were treated with wax or polymer products before: old wax and polymer residue on the paint can noticeably hurt a ceramic coating's bond in those spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prepare also earns its keep for quality control after polishing, whatever sealant comes next: the inspection effect shows whether the polish was carried out evenly across the whole panel, or whether areas with polishing residue point to spots that haven't been worked yet. So the Prepare doubles as a quality-control tool that flags gaps in the polishing work and heads off flaws in the final sealant before they get locked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Prepare compared — degreasers and IPA mixes for paint prep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional detailing there are several products used as degreaser and panel wipe. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in diluted form (typically 10–20% in water) is a classic panel wipe that's cheap and widely available — the degreasing works well, but the inspection job is missing. If you degrease with IPA, you have to trust other cues to judge whether the degreasing step is complete. The Prepare gives you a clear edge here: the visual inspection effect gives you instant feedback on the quality of the degreasing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to all-purpose degreasers or solvent-heavy cleaners, the Prepare positions itself as a gentler, more paint-friendly product — not every solvent goes onto sensitive clearcoat, fresh multi-layer paintwork or coated surfaces without trouble. The Prepare is formulated specifically for car paint and safe on all common clearcoat grades. On fresh factory resprays or repair paint do a quick test patch to make sure it's compatible — especially on very freshly applied clearcoat that hasn't fully cured yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with cross-brand degreasers, the PROFILINE Prepare has the edge of system compatibility: it's matched to the PROFILINE sealant line and leaves no residue that would clash with the PROFILINE coating products. For detailers running a fully matched product system, that's an important quality factor — systematic compatibility cuts risk and makes results more repeatable.

The 400 ml bottle covers plenty of full-car degreases at sensible dosing — since you spray onto the cloth and not the paint, the amount you use is easy to control. For detailers who coat cars regularly and run the panel wipe as a fixed workflow step, the 3-pack is the most economical option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prepare is especially worth it for any detailer and reconditioning business laying down professional ceramic coatings who won't compromise on surface prep. For enthusiasts coating their own car with a polymer or ceramic sealant, the Prepare is your guarantee that the sealant bonds as well and as durably as it can. A common mistake when coating your own car is skipping the degreasing step — seal straight after washing and you risk a poor bond from polishing-oil or wax residue you can't see on the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line, the Prepare is the link between paint correction and coating — a step that's easy to overlook, but one that decides the quality and longevity of the whole coating result.

Spraying it on directly spreads the dissolved dirt across the surface instead of picking it up. Per panel use one cloth to apply and a second, dry one to wipe off.

If you use one cloth and wipe in circles, you just push polishing residue round in a loop — the opposite of degreasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExpose polishing oils instead of sealing them under the coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ²M Prep shows you the real state of the paint after polishing. Polishing oils from the compound and polish stages optically fill micro-scratches and faint holograms — under normal light the paint looks slick and flawless. A single wipe with Q²M Prep strips those optical fillers and reveals what really sits under the oil layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis check belongs in the workflow after every polishing stage: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-compound-plus-redefined-heavy-cut-lackpolitur\"\u003epaint polish\u003c\/a\u003e → prep wipe → check under LED light → finish polish → prep wipe → final check → coating.

Not an all-purpose cleaner.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ²M Prep is built for one job: the last cleaning stage before a coating. The mix of 30–35% isopropanol and anionic surfactants is dialled in for polishing oils, carnauba wax and silicone residue from spray sealants. The flash point sits above 65 °C — so Q²M Prep isn't a hazardous good in shipping and is easy to store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe orange oil in the formula (under 1%) works as a fragrance — Q²M Prep smells pleasantly mild rather than like neat alcohol, which matters when you're working in a closed garage. The liquid is faintly pink, so you instantly see where you've already wiped and where you haven't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeat isopropanol (100% IPA) wouldn't be a like-for-like swap. It flashes off in seconds — too fast to reliably lift polishing residue. The surfactants in Q²M Prep do the real heavy lifting: they wrap around oil molecules (emulsifying) and break them off the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe isopropanol acts as a solvent for waxes and silicones that surfactants alone can't break up. Together both mechanisms cover the full residue spectrum. The dialled-in formula gives you 15–30 seconds of working time on the surface before the product flashes off — enough to wipe, too little to harm the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Q²M Prep isn't the right product: tar and bitumen spots need a solvent-based tar remover. Bug splatter needs alkaline cleaners. Heavy grease from the wash stage belongs to the Degrease Tabs, not the finish degreaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ²M Prep doesn't replace a cleaner — it comes after the cleaning, after decontamination and after polishing. Its job is solely the final degreasing stage. On untreated, matte aluminium or anodised metal, test a hidden spot first: the surfactants can leave streaks on rough, open-pored surfaces that are hard to get off. On freshly waxed surfaces Q²M Prep is pointless too — if you wax, you're building a protective layer, not stripping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/gyeon-q2m-prep-detail-szene.jpg?v=1776015423\" alt=\"Close-up of a mirror-like paint surface degreased with GYEON Q²M Prep\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:2px\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e150 ml per car.

Anywhere a coating has to chemically bond with the surface, that surface has to be grease-free first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a full prep package you pair the Degrease Tabs in the wash stage as base degreasing with Q²M Prep as the final IPA wipe right before the coating — two stages that don't replace each other but complement each other. The Degrease Tabs lift heavy grease films water-based, Q²M Prep removes the last micro-residue alcohol-based. Together they guarantee a surface a coating has nothing to complain about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor beginners laying down their first ceramic coating: buy Q²M Prep in the 500 ml spray bottle and add a pack of short-pile microfibres.

That's exactly what separates a real paint cleaner from a glosser: it preps instead of masking, and a properly degreased paint noticeably extends the durability of your sealant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake is skipping the degrease after polishing and laying the coating straight onto still-oily paint. The polishing oil masks fine holograms and holds the sealant at arm's length — after the first wash the oil beads away, the holograms surface and the durability collapses. Pull the oil film off first with the Clean Top sprayed onto the cloth. On a black 2026 paint the coating held over eleven months after a clean final wipe-down, while a panel that was sealed straight away went blotchy within weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray onto the cloth, spread, follow with a dry cloth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Clean Top onto a clean microfibre cloth, spread it across the panel with light pressure and pull the surface grease-free and streak-free with a dry side of the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one condition is at least roughly clean paint. If there's loose sand or dried-on dirt on the surface, rinse it off with water first — a degreaser is no substitute for the wash. For streak-free follow-up you use a short-pile \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-microfiber-cloth-edgeless-300gsm-mikrofasertuch\"\u003emicrofibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e with edgeless borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFold the cloth into quarters and turn to a fresh side after each panel, so you're always running clean pile across roughly 40 cm of edge. A saturated cloth just smears the dissolved oil film around. Don't work in full sun on hot paint, or the liquid flashes off too fast and you're left with dry edges. Once opened, the bottle keeps for about 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolishing oil and grease yes, tar and fallout no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clean Top degreases freshly polished paint and removes polish residue reliably — but with stubborn tar, fallout or baked-on tree sap a paint cleaner hits its limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts core job is the final cleaning of the paint before you build protection: it pulls the polishing-oil film and grease off so wax, sealant or coating sit on a grease-free bonding base. In between it also lifts dust and fingerprints off washed paint without you washing the whole car. Because it works without abrasive particles, though, it won't correct any scratches and is no substitute for a polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear. When you've got crusted-on grime like tar, fallout or bug splatter, that belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reiniger\"\u003epre-wash and cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e with a dedicated remover, not on the paint cleaner. And if you want real, months-long protection, the Clean Top doesn't build any — for that you lay a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-graphene-ceramic-coat-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eceramic coating\u003c\/a\u003e on after degreasing, which the Clean Top only preps. On a weathered, matte bumper the effect stays small, since the paint base to bond to is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the detailer before the coating, not for deep cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clean Top is the right call when you need a clean, grease-free bonding base for wax or coating after polishing, or when you want to quickly refresh the paint between washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two cases: the heavy deep cleaning of crusted grime, which needs a dedicated remover, and lasting protection, which only comes from a wax or coating. A paint cleaner preps the protection, it doesn't replace it. If it's the polishing-oil wipe-down before the coating, then Clean Top; if it's protection afterwards, then wax or coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow the Clean Top sits right at the seam between polish and protection. That one step is what most people skip: they polish, lay the coating on straight away and then wonder why the durability collapses after a few weeks. The reason is almost always the polishing-oil film that the Clean Top pulls off beforehand — that one wipe decides whether your sealant holds for months or just days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"500 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867609211215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-CT000500","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882255524175,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-CT000500_3","price":59.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882255556943,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-CT000500_10","price":199.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-clean-top-quick-detailer.png?v=1780776333"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.ch\/en\/collections\/lackentfetter.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
