For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20.

Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline.

Bugs and bird droppings also soak off well with the 1:10 dilution before the actual wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the protein and turns a baked-on crust into a layer you can pull off — exactly where pH-neutral products would need you to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Green Star runs out of road is where the pH becomes the problem. On ceramic-coated paint every pass shaves a bit off the top bonding layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars a pH-neutral shampoo or the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodised aluminium, matte aluminium and polished metal you never treat neat and you always patch-test in a hidden spot first. The corrosion inhibitor protects painted aluminium reliably, but on anodised surfaces it starts to struggle. Same goes for non-anodised magnesium rims and race parts — the alkaline side bites into the surface as soon as you push the dwell past two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the cabin Green Star is plainly too aggressive: synthetic leather, Alcantara and coated dashboards don't take alkaline concentrates long-term, not even at 1:50.

The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder follow-up with an optimised surfactant base and lower environmental load — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, it sits alongside it for detailers who work more often on private-customer cars with coatings and less on commercial frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" runs on completely different chemistry: weakly alkaline through to pH-neutral, built for interior, dashboards, carpets and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the buy decision: if the focus is the lift, the engine bay, the workshop floor and commercial-vehicle work, grab the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you mostly detail private-customer cars with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, bug removal and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the cleaner fit. If you're after a cleaner for interior, carpet and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — that's where the Mzr lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the 11-kilo Green Star plus a 1-litre Mzr covers most of the actual workload: Gs for the whole exterior, the engine bay and floor cleans, Mzr for the interior. If you've got three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — this two-product setup halves the chemical cabinet and still cleans tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePack size tracks monthly throughput. The 1000-millilitre spray head is for the home detailer and the first test drive, not a working shop. From one vehicle a week with a proper exterior wash the 5-litre canister pays off; from three vehicles the 11-kilo container. 22 and 225 kilos belong in shops with a dosing station and steady commercial-vehicle work — for smaller outfits they're an unnecessary lock-in to one chemistry and harder to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_detail.png?v=1775995607\" alt=\"Green Star working solution on the black plastic wheel arch of the Ferrari\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494630109519,"sku":"D1-KCX-291001","price":6.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":12.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":18.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-291011","price":54.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":104.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1021.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger.jpg?v=1710769279"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum","title":"Gentle Snow Foam \"Gsf\" Cleaning Foam","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003epH-neutral pre-wash with the Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam?

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.

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.

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":13.49,"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":53.99,"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-allround-surface-cleaner-asc-allzweckreiniger","title":"Allround Surface Cleaner \"Asc\" All-Purpose Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReady-to-use and streak-free through the cabin with the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner?

For vents, buttons and trim strips you spray onto the cloth first and work from there into the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the headliner with extra care: only dampen the cloth, never spray the part directly. The headliner fabric mustn't get soaked, or the adhesive underneath lets go.

So the 10-litre canister is good for around 60 to 120 full details, depending on how dirty the cars are and how you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is less of a fit when you're mainly dealing with extreme cases — smoker cars, mouldy seats, dried coffee on microfibre seat covers, paint and grease splatter out of the service bay.

This ingredient reacts chemically with iron(III) oxides, the kind that show up as iron fallout on paint and as brake residue on wheels. The reaction becomes visible as a violet bleeding effect: wherever the solution turns colour, iron particles are being bound and lifted off the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat sets the Rrr apart from acid-based iron fallout removers, which work faster but can leave irreversible damage on sensitive surfaces like polished aluminium or chrome wheels.

Wet panels dilute the gel and cut the contact time badly — the active ingredient gets rinsed away before it can react. Above 25 °C, hose the panel down briefly first, let it dry, then lay the Rrr on. Letting it dry out is the most common mistake: the gel leaves residue you then have to remove mechanically. Better two short passes of 3 minutes than one long one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray on, violet, rinse off. 3 to 6 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactive Rust Remover goes on undiluted onto the surface you want to treat and works there for 3–6 minutes. The violet colour change starts after about 10 seconds at the spots with the highest iron concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn wheels, work from the bottom up so the gel doesn't run over areas you've already treated and stretch the dwell time there out of control. Cover spokes, barrel and wheel bolts. On paint, spray wide and even — bonnet and roof in passes, not in spots. Once the dwell time is up, rinse off with a strong jet of water. The Koch-Chemie spray head doses precisely and evenly, without dribbling or spitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception: leaving it on longer than 6 minutes gets you no extra cleaning. The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate is saturated after that — it has reacted with every iron(III) ion it can reach. If residue is still visible after the rinse, a second pass beats a longer dwell time. On the car care forum, detailers report that the first pass without a brush already dissolves 80 % of the contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn spots between the spokes, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e helps to spread the product — not to scrub. The chemical reaction does the work; the brush just carries the active ingredient into areas the spray jet can't reach directly. After rinsing, check the result visually: if you still see violet streaks, there's iron fallout sitting there. A third pass only pays off on paint — on wheels the leftover bit is usually quicker to take off mechanically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-reactive-rust-remover-rrr-flugrostentferner_anwendung.png?v=1778626878\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Rrr iron fallout remover being applied to a wheel\" width=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Rrr dissolves iron fallout on paint. Baked-on brake dust, no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactive Rust Remover reliably dissolves fresh to medium-age iron fallout — that's its core ground. On paint after parking next to railway lines, under industrial exhaust or along busy roads, the active ingredient reacts with the embedded iron particles and lifts them out of the clear coat without touching the paint structure. It works on glass too: iron fallout on the windscreen dissolves just as reliably as on paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn wheels it removes regular brake dust from standard pads in one pass. The colour change does the sorting for you: iron particles react violet, while organic muck like tar or oil doesn't change colour — so you see straight away what the Rrr can't shift. For tar spots you'll need a separate, solvent-based tar remover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA side effect detailers on the car care forum report: after cleaning, wheels show a bit of beading, the surface sheds water for a while. That comes from the high-performance surfactants in it (5–15 % anionic surfactants per the safety data sheet), which leave a thin protective film. This effect is no substitute for a dedicated wheel sealant, but it's a nice bonus with regular use every two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Koch-Chemie Reactive Rust Remover hits its limits: iron fallout that's been sitting untreated on the paint for 6+ months has worked its way deeper into the clear coat. A single pass rarely does it here — plan for two or three. One customer on TrustedShops grumbled that \"iron fallout was still there\" — that typically happens with very old fallout that no chemical cleaner fully dissolves in one pass. After that, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-rkb-reinigungsknete-mild-blau\"\u003eclay bar\u003c\/a\u003e can take off the last bits mechanically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor extreme brake dust from performance brake setups or ceramic pads, the acid-based \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger-750ml\"\u003eReactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the stronger call — though with the material limits of an acid cleaner on polished or anodised aluminium. If you want safety on every surface, reach for the Rrr. If you want maximum cleaning power on tough, painted wheels, grab the Reactive Wheel Cleaner.

That's the most efficient workflow, because the Rrr clings and works best on a dry surface. If your car is ceramic-coated, you can use the Rrr without worry — pH 7.5 doesn't attack the coating. The opposite, really: iron fallout under a coating is the bigger problem, because it lodges there and undermines the coating from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fleet use or commercial detailing, Koch-Chemie also offers the Rrr as a 5 kg canister and an 11 kg container. With regular use every 2–4 weeks, the 500 ml bottle is gone after 4–5 cars. The 5 kg canister pays for itself from the second month with daily use — provided you've set up a refill process with spray bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn polished, unsealed aluminium the active ingredient can cause light tarnishing — that comes off with a metal polish, but a test on a hidden spot is a must. On painted wheels, clear coat and glass, the pH of 7.5 is harmless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGloves are still a must — the ammonium mercaptoacetate in the Rrr is classified as skin-sensitising under the CLP regulation (H317) and can trigger allergic reactions on repeated skin contact. Eye protection is recommended, as the product can cause serious eye irritation (H319). Use the Koch-Chemie Reactive Rust Remover every 2–4 weeks and you keep your iron fallout under control for good, and stop iron particles from working their way deeper into the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-reactive-rust-remover-rrr-flugrostentferner_lineup.png?v=1778626889\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Rrr 500ml and 11kg canister on a forecourt\" width=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48484362944847,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650","price":14.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":48618302734671,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650_2","price":24.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":48618302767439,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650_3","price":36.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":48762527285583,"sku":"D1-KCX-359005","price":55.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48484362977615,"sku":"D1-KCX-359011","price":105.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-reactive-rust-remover-rrr-flugrostentferner_39372270-7c05-43d3-98f4-8c56b339d648.png?v=1778623449"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-autoshampoo-as-auto-shampoo","title":"Autoshampoo \"As\" Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eWeekly hand washing with no wax or sealant loss, thanks to Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\"?

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.

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":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":17.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":26.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":46.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":95.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":928.79,"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-aktivwaesche-aw-aktiv-shampoo","title":"Aktivwäsche \"Aw\" Active Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eAktivwäsche Aw works in the tunnel, in the lance and in the bucket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche Aw?

The 21 kg keg pays off for detailers from the first quarter, the 210 kg container for wash-system operators pushing three-digit daily throughput. Phosphate- and NTA-free also means: fully compatible with biological process-water loops.\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 What we see day-to-day is that Aktivwäsche Aw often gets dosed wrong. Overdose it and you get a sticky dry residue on the paint, not better gloss. 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is the mark where micelle formation runs clean: at that concentration the surfactant molecules form little foam spheres that capsule the dirt and carry it off when you rinse. Lukewarm water instead of cold speeds up the surfactant work without tipping the dry time. More is counterproductive, less doesn't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e50 millilitres to 10 litres of water. Then Aw works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw runs on three clear dose rates, and which one you need comes down to the workflow, not taste. In the roll-over wash system, 3 to 7 millilitres per car go straight through the dosing pump into the water concentrate. In the foam lance you mix the concentrate in the supply tank at 1:10 to 1:30. In the hand bucket, 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is enough — that's the 1:200 dilution Koch-Chemie lists on every product data sheet for the Aktivwäsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the first bucket, you roll the car into the shade and let it cool down. Aw flashes off on hot paint within seconds, and the dry residue is a pain to rinse off afterwards. 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. If you can wash commercially or in a self-service box, Aw is the right tool. If you're parked privately in the driveway, Aw is the wrong product legally — no judgement, just the legal frame you should know before you crack the canister open.\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\" — clean paint after the wash' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw is a concentrate for detailers and wash-system operators.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw is built for three types of user. 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. Aw handles the dirty part of the wash reliably, the rest hangs on the workflow that follows.\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\" — 11 kg, 21 kg and 210 kg sizes at a glance' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48762024755535,"sku":"D1-KCX-10011","price":40.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49382268731727,"sku":"D1-KCX-10021","price":72.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49382268764495,"sku":"D1-KCX-10210","price":671.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009"},{"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.

Always dilute in the bottle first and start at 1:10. If that does the job, dial down to 1:20 next time. The most common mistake we see day-to-day: people run the dilution too strong and end up with white patches on dark plastics because the alkalinity has attacked the surface. Two passes at 1:10 give you a better, more even result than one pass at 1:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 on the headliner. 1:50 on the door handle.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr works as a concentrate that you dilute fresh for every job.

Spray it on evenly, let it dwell for 1–3 minutes, then work it in with a soft detailing brush in circles. The Mzr lifts the dirt chemically, the brush pulls it out of the fibres. After that you extract the dissolved soil with a clean microfibre or a wet vac. On headliners the wet vac is non-negotiable — too much standing moisture softens the textile glue and the headliner starts to sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyday interior cleaning — dash, centre console, door cards — 1:20 to 1:50 is enough. At that strength the Mzr is gentle enough for most hard plastics. The surface comes out clean and there's no greasy film left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight after that you can lay down a plastic dressing — the Mzr leaves no residue that would block adhesion. That's what makes it the go-to prep step before any dressing. Still: on soft-touch steering wheels and rubberised grips even the weakest dilution is a gamble. Grab a pH-neutral cleaner for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the cabin the Mzr earns its name too: workshop floors with oil stains, grimy industrial machines, weathered motorhome trim. For outdoor use go 1:5 to 1:10 and let it dwell 3–5 minutes. Hit it with a pressure washer or a brush, then rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail Koch-Chemie doesn't flag on the product page: the Mzr leaves a subtle, clean scent on the surfaces it cleans. Not an artificial air freshener — just noticeably less chemical than comparable industrial cleaners. In a smoker's car it won't mask the nicotine smell, but after the clean the cabin smells neutral instead of like cleaning chemicals. Sounds like a side-effect, but in the bay it matters when you're prepping cars for resale or hand-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1776198150\" alt=\"Headliner cleaning with diluted Koch-Chemie Mzr from an iK Multi TR 1 spray bottle in a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr lifts nicotine films.

The alkaline formula handles those in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour shift from clean to dirty is instant on the Mzr — the microfibre after a wipe shows exactly what came out of the surface. Most dramatic on greyed light fabric seats: the first pass often pulls two shades of difference out. That's not a marketing line — it's the chemical effect of alkaline saponification breaking down the deep-set fat soiling that a neutral cleaner can't reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie positions the Mzr as an \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e for cars, industry and building maintenance. The pack sizes tell you the same story: the 1-litre bottle sits next to 11 kg, 21 kg and 225 kg drums. This is a workshop cleaner that also works in the car interior. That origin is where the strength comes from — the Mzr is formulated for industrial grime, and that power follows it into the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Mzr isn't the right tool: on genuine and synthetic leather with open-pore structure the alkalinity can dry out the surface and leave discolouration. Leather wants a pH-adjusted leather cleaner. On soft-touch plastics and rubberised surfaces like steering wheels or shift knobs it leaves dull patches. On painted or wrapped panels an alkaline cleaner has no business at all — even diluted 1:50, the pH still sits above 9.

Use any diluted mix within four weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne safety note to finish: the Mzr is classified as corrosive (H314) and carries the signal word \"Danger\".

For indoor use, run ventilation above three air changes an hour, and eye protection is a must for any overhead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical, not mechanical.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can't polish tar out — scrubbing drags the particles across the paint and leaves swirls behind. Teerwäsche A softens the bituminous residue within 30 to 180 seconds until it flows away or lifts off the cloth in one pass. The brush stays in the drawer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaimler approval as a green light for pro use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Koch-Chemie works hand in hand with the car industry. The Daimler approval isn't a marketing sticker — it means the product is officially cleared for use on Daimler paints and underbody materials. For shops tied to a manufacturer, that's a practical argument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree of halogenated hydrocarbons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Older tar removers often lean on trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene — both heavy on odour, a health concern, and barely approvable for pro use any more. Teerwäsche A works with a modern hydrocarbon blend that's workable in well-ventilated spaces from about 15 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teerwäsche A doesn't just break down tar — it strips the wax or sealant underneath along with it. That's the bit manufacturers and rivals rarely mention. If you do nothing after the tar comes off, you're left with unprotected paint that takes on fallout and water spots with no barrier. So always plan it in as the first step of a combo job: tar wash → normal wash with a pH-neutral shampoo → reseal with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-speedprotect-spruhversiegelung\"\u003espray sealant\u003c\/a\u003e or wax. For a spot job (the odd tar fleck on the sill) a quick detailer is enough as local protection. For a full exterior job including resealing, set aside about 45 minutes for a mid-size car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on neat. Short dwell. Steam it off.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is kept deliberately simple. Lay Teerwäsche A on the dry, cold surface undiluted — either straight from the 1-litre bottle with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-teerwaesche-a-tea-bitumen-teerentferner?variant=54013040492879\"\u003eCanyon spray head CHS-3AN\u003c\/a\u003e or from a sturdy solvent-safe spray bottle. A wet surface dilutes the solvent and cuts the cleaning power right down — when washing, tar wash first, then shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDwell time runs from 30 seconds to 3 minutes — depending on how thick the tar layer is. You can see when it's working: the tar dissolves into brownish-black streaks and runs down vertical surfaces. As soon as that happens, rinse straight off with a strong jet of water or wipe it away with a clean microfibre cloth. A 1000 ml bottle covers roughly 4 to 6 full vehicle sides with moderate tar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger areas, don't let it dry — in direct sun or on hot paint above 25 °C the solvent flashes off too fast and leaves an oily film that only comes off at the next wash. For underbody or wheel-arch work on commercial vehicles, the 10 or 20 litre version is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere you apply it over a wide area with a pump sprayer and then steam it off with the pressure washer at around 120 bar. On stubborn, dried-on bitumen spots after a drive through roadworks, a second application does more than a longer dwell on the first pass — the solvent is saturated after about 3 minutes and stops working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt breaks down tar. And wax too.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeerwäsche A attacks any organic coating sitting on the paint. That's how it works — and at the same time it's the one catch for anyone who reaches for it without a plan. Carnauba waxes, synthetic polymer-based sealants and most quick detailers dissolve away on contact with the hydrocarbon blend. That's no fault in the product either, it's chemistry: what breaks down bitumen breaks down wax too, because both are built on similar organic molecule structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the real world that means two things. First: every tar wash is followed by a full paint wash with a pH-neutral shampoo to neutralise the solvent residue. Second: the treated spot needs a fresh layer of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're only dealing with small flecks on the side sill, you can follow up with a spot wax or detailer. If you're cleaning whole panels or the underbody, build the reseal into the workflow as a fixed step. SiO₂-based ceramic coatings usually aren't fully wrecked after a tar-wash treatment, but they lose noticeable hydrophobicity — a topper or detailer brings them back up to level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Teerwäsche A isn't suited to: unpainted soft plastics, rubber seals and EPDM profiles. The solvent swells rubber over longer contact and can dull plastics. It mainly hits window seals, door rubbers and black plastic trim on older vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't spray it over those surfaces broadly — if overspray happens, rinse it off with water within 60 seconds. On fresh wraps and PPF (paint protection film), test first on a hidden spot. Plenty of PPF coatings handle short contact times under 30 seconds but react sensitively to longer exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen Teerwäsche A fits — and when it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeerwäsche A is the right call when you're removing genuine road tar, bitumen spray after driving through roadworks, asphalt residue on wheel arches or dried-on oil films in the underbody area. It's also built for the regular cleaning of car-wash brushes and shop floors — wherever it's not paint cosmetics that's needed but real chemical solving power. In the spring season after winter it's standard for underbody prep, once tar-salt mixes have piled up over months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor insect residue, though, it's not the first choice. Insect proteins are organic but structured differently — enzymatic cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003einsect remover\u003c\/a\u003e work more precisely and more gently on paint there. If you've got both at once — tar on the sill, bugs on the front end — treat both areas separately with the product that fits each. Trying to solve everything with one all-rounder usually ends in more rework. Same goes for tree sap and adhesive residue: both dissolve with the tar wash, but a dedicated tree-sap remover works cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for pack size, the 1-litre bottle suits the private user and the occasional detailer planning one go per vehicle. The 2-pack and 3-pack bring the price per litre down by roughly 5 to 15 percent — worth it if there are several vehicles in the household or you want the season's supply locked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 and 20 litre drums are trade sizes for reconditioning, underbody cleaning or fleet work — here the outlay only pays off from regular weekly use. For precise single-spot application the 1-litre bottle with the Canyon spray head stays the most ergonomic solution. The spray head delivers a precise cone rather than a mist and doses right onto the problem spot without wetting more area than needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore Teerwäsche A frost-free at room temperature. Once opened, the bottle stays stable for about 24 months as long as the cap is closed tight after use — hydrocarbon solvents evaporate slowly otherwise and the concentration drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-guide\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow to use Koch-Chemie Teerwäsche A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003col\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrep.\u003c\/strong\u003e Move the vehicle into the shade, paint temperature under 25 °C.

Once you've rinsed and dried, the shampoo leaves a wafer-thin wax layer that makes water bead off and shields the surface against fresh dirt. This wax component isn't meant to replace a full sealant, but between your regular care intervals it gives you a solid baseline of protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH-neutral formula for paint-friendly use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Acidic or heavily alkaline wash products attack existing wax layers and sealants and cut their lifespan short. The XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo is pH-neutral, so your existing paint protection stays intact — a big deal for anyone running a sealant or a coating who doesn't want to thin the protective layer out with every wash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly concentrated — economical dosing for plenty of washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The shampoo is a concentrate you use in small amounts per wash. That makes the 1 L bottle last for lots of wash sessions and work out far cheaper than pre-diluted ready-to-use products. For a hand wash using the bucket method, a small dose of concentrate is enough for a 10 L wash bucket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-in-1 idea for car shampoos isn't new, but how it's pulled off varies a lot. Cheap 2-in-1 products often carry so little wax that the protective effect is barely measurable. The XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\" is dialled in so the wax dose is enough to give you a real lotus effect on the paint after the wash — water pulls itself into beads and rolls off with the dirt particles instead of sheeting across the surface. That self-cleaning behaviour is the clearest proof that the 2-in-1 formula genuinely works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the best results, go with the two-bucket method: fill one bucket with your shampoo water and a second with clean rinse water. After each panel, rinse the wash mitt out in the rinse bucket before you dip it back into the shampoo water. That way the dirt particles don't build up in the shampoo water and get dragged back onto the paint. Let the shampoo dwell on the paint for a moment — 30 to 60 seconds — to loosen road film and bug residue better before you rinse. That's when the 2-in-1 formula works best: cleaning first, then the wax laying down on an already-clean surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SONAX XTREME shampoo's 2-in-1 formula — cleaning and wax care combined\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\"\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a surfactant-wax combination that works in sequence during the wash: first the surfactants lift dirt crusts, road film and organic deposits off the surface. The wax molecules ride in the same film of wash water and settle onto the clean paint once the dirt is gone. As you rinse, the surfactants wash away while the wax components stay behind on the paint and dry in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wax component in the 2-in-1 shampoo works differently from a coat of carnauba wax or a ceramic sealant: it's much thinner and less durable, but it hands you a fresh protective film right after every wash. Wash your car weekly and you build a baseline of protection over time — every wash tops the layer back up. That's a different philosophy from the one-off long-term sealant, but it's very handy for active drivers on a regular wash cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-neutral formulation is the make-or-break factor for playing nicely with existing coatings. Alkaline shampoos (pH \u0026gt; 7) act as degreasers and so go after both the dirt and your wax layers and polymer sealants. If you've got an active coating or a fresh wax sealant on the car, you need to watch for pH-neutrality in your shampoo — the XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo respects the protection that's already there while building a layer of its own alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that go through the wash tunnel and then get an occasional hand wash on top, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the ideal follow-up product: the automatic wash pulls off the heavy dirt, the hand wash with the 2-in-1 shampoo takes down the leftover grime and refreshes the paint protection. That gives you an efficient care cycle that gets by without separate wax applications. It's just as good for seasonal cars given a thorough clean after winter — a first pass with the 2-in-1 shampoo is a quick way to strip the winter grip off paint and glass and lay down fresh wax protection at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the 2-in-1 shampoo — hand wash, dosing and results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow much XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo you use comes down to water temperature and how dirty the car is. For a 10 L bucket, 30–50 ml of concentrate is usually plenty — overdosing kicks up too much foam and makes rinsing a chore. Foam itself isn't a quality marker on a car shampoo — it should be enough, but not over the top. Too much foam is a sign of overdosing and can leave a slightly cloudy residue after the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the wash, rinse the car down as completely as you can with clean water to clear off all the surfactant residue. The wax components stay on the paint through the rinse because they're hydrophobic and don't wash off with water. Once it's dry, the wax effect shows: water pulls into beads on the freshly washed paint and rolls off — a visual sign of a working wax film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDry off after the rinse with an absorbent microfibre towel. Water spots left by standing water can leave limescale behind that dulls the gloss of the fresh wax layer. A quick dry with a pro drying towel straight after the rinse heads off that limescale and shows the wash result right away: a clean, glossy car with a fresh layer of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn dirt like bug splatter on the front end or tar spots along the sills, the 2-in-1 shampoo on its own won't always cut it. In those cases it pays to pre-treat with an insect remover or tar remover before you bring in the shampoo. The shampoo then handles the final clean and lays down the protective layer. That's the smartest division of labour: dedicated cleaners for stubborn spots, shampoo for the broad surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo fits — everyday care and the regular wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-in-1 shampoo is the ideal everyday shampoo for anyone who washes regularly and wants to skip a separate waxing step. It's a great fit for cars driven under normal conditions — but not for cars with fresh ceramic coatings, where you don't want to lay down any foreign wax, since the wax component can interfere with the coating surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that get detailed at regular intervals and need to stay clean and protected between the big care appointments, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the most practical solution. It extends the lifespan of an existing sealant when it's pH-neutral, and it renews a baseline of protection on its own when there's no active sealant in place. For cars driven daily in traffic and washed weekly, the 2-in-1 principle covers the whole care need with no extra products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a good match for motorhome and camper owners too: the 1 L size travels well, the dosing is fuss-free, and the 2-in-1 principle means there's no separate wax step after the wash — handy when space and time are tight. The quick wax effect after the rinse also shields the paint against UV and light oxidation on long hauls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eXTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\" compared — between a pure shampoo and a sealant shampoo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX XTREME shampoo range, the \"2 in 1\" sits in the middle: it offers more than a pure cleaning shampoo, but less than a sealant shampoo like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-schaumversiegelung-autoshampoo-versiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal\u003c\/a\u003e, which lays down a lasting sealant layer.

The 2-in-1 shampoo positions itself in between: more protection than a pure shampoo, but a simpler formulation than a specialised sealant shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e, the 2-in-1 product is fundamentally different: the Ceramic shampoo uses SiO₂ particles for ceramic protection and is tuned for cars with active ceramic coatings. The XTREME 2-in-1 shampoo uses classic wax components and is built for broad everyday use with no specific coating technology — simpler, but completely enough for the standard driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX XTREME Shampoo \"2 in 1\" — the everyday shampoo with built-in wax protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shampoo is the go-to product for a regular hand wash when you want caring wax protection with no extra hassle. The 1 L bottle gives you plenty of wash sessions at an economical dose and is the ideal size for home use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who washes their own car regularly and wants to look after the paint protection between the bigger care intervals, the 2-in-1 shampoo is the most compact answer: one product, one step, one result — clean, protected, glossy. Team it with an absorbent microfibre towel for drying and you've got the complete everyday wash result with no extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to go deeper into the SONAX XTREME wash experience, you can pair the 2-in-1 shampoo with a SONAX PROFILINE drying towel for the dry-off and, now and then, a quick-sealant product for fresh deep gloss. The 2-in-1 shampoo handles the baseline supply with every wash — for special occasions a quick sealant tops up the protection.

This two-stage approach cuts down the amount of dirt you drag around during the contact wash hugely. In summer or under direct sun, shorten the dwell time, otherwise the product dries on hot paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRich-Foam formula and foam tech — why thick foam is more than just a good look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoam in the wash often gets written off as eye candy — loads of foam looks professional, but does it actually do more? The honest answer is: yes, but not for the reasons most people think. Cleaning power comes from the surfactants in the shampoo, not the foam itself. What thick, long-clinging foam buys you is time: it keeps the surfactant-rich shampoo on the paint longer, stretches the dwell time, and lets the chemistry break down dirt better before the rinse water carries it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a formula that, dosed right in the foam lance, produces unusually dense, coherent foam. The bubbles burst slowly — the foam stays put on the paint for several minutes instead of running straight off. That's trickier to formulate than just \"lots of soap\", because the foam has to be dense enough to cling and fine enough to lay down evenly at the same time. Coarse bubbles burst fast and spread the cleaner unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone running a car with a fresh ceramic coating tends to wonder whether a foam shampoo might damage it. With pH-neutral products the answer is clear: no. Alkaline shampoos with pH \u0026gt; 9 can attack the polymer structure of ceramic coatings and wear down the hydrophobic properties over time. pH-neutral products like XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo have no chemical affinity for the Si-O bonds of ceramic coatings and leave them untouched. That matters most for cars that get a professional coating regularly and need their lifespan maxed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail worth knowing: compatibility with different foam-lance types. Foam lances for pressure washers (typically Kärcher, Nilfisk) build more foam density through the nozzle than foam attachments for garden hoses. The Rich-Foam shampoo works in both systems, but paired with a quality high-pressure foam lance it delivers its best. The concentration in the lance bottle should be varied between 1:5 and 1:10 depending on the model — a quick test on a small panel shows you fast which dose gives the best foam density for your gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're reaching for the Rich-Foam shampoo for the first time, start on a clean test panel to find the right dose for your own foam lance. Depending on water hardness, water pressure and lance model, the ideal mix ratio shifts. Too dilute and you get little foam; too concentrated and it dries early and leaves streaks. The dosing guide on the bottle is a good starting point, but a personal trial run gets you the best result for your specific kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chemistry inside XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo: it uses anionic surfactants as the main cleaning component, backed up by foam-boosting additives. Anionic surfactants have a strong affinity for oily soiling like road film, grease and bug residue — the most common kinds of dirt on car paint. The surfactant molecules wrap around dirt particles and form micelles that disperse in the water and get carried off in the rinse. That mechanism works regardless of the foam — but the longer dwell time the foam gives you lets the surfactants wrap the dirt fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing Rich-Foam shampoo right — foam lance, 2-bucket method and hand wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best approach depends on the kit you've got. With a foam lance on a pressure washer: fill the lance with shampoo diluted 1:5 to 1:10, foam the dry car from top to bottom, let it dwell 3–5 minutes, rinse off at medium pressure top to bottom. Then a normal contact wash with a fresh wash bucket and mitt. You can use the Rich-Foam shampoo for that second step too — or, for the best of both, combine it with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for the contact wash, which adds extra Si-Carbon care components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the straight 2-bucket method without a foam lance: put 30–50 ml of Rich-Foam shampoo into 10 litres of water in the wash bucket, foam it up with the pressure washer or garden spray to help build the suds. Dip the mitt into the shampoo water, wash the car panel by panel from top to bottom, and rinse the mitt in the clean-water bucket between panels (two-bucket method) so you don't carry dirt back onto the paint. The Rich-Foam shampoo throws enough foam even in a classic bucket wash for a silky-smooth glide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do seasonal washes — say the first wash after winter, when road-salt residue and thaw grime cover the underbody and wheel arches — pair the Rich-Foam shampoo with a separate underbody shampoo or engine cleaner. The Rich-Foam shampoo is built for the visible paintwork, not for scrubbing out underbody sections. Keep the jobs cleanly separated and you get the best result: Rich-Foam for the bodywork, dedicated underbody products for the rough areas underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCars with a ceramic coating or polymer sealant benefit especially from the Rich-Foam shampoo's pH-neutral formula. Alkaline shampoos used regularly can wear down a sealant's hydrophobic properties step by step — pH-neutral products keep them intact. If you wash your own car often and want a sealant to last for months, stick to pH-neutral shampoos only. The Rich-Foam shampoo is compatible with all common ceramic coatings, wax layers and polymer sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWash results and where it fits — what a Rich-Foam shampoo can do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a full Rich-Foam pre-wash and contact wash, the car comes out streak-free clean with a light wet gloss that dries down to evenly bright paint. The shampoo leaves no residue and no white streaky film — a problem some cheap shampoos throw up in hard water. The Rich-Foam shampoo is well suited to hard-water regions too, because the formulation keeps limescale settling on the paint to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavily soiled cars — lots of road salt in winter, heavy bug residue in summer, brake-dust build-up around the wheel arches — the Rich-Foam shampoo alone isn't enough. A chemical pre-treatment with an active cleaner or a bug remover before foaming is needed in those cases. The Rich-Foam shampoo then handles the pre-loosened dirt in the second step. As an all-weather base shampoo for regularly maintained cars with average everyday soiling, the Rich-Foam shampoo is completely up to the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne angle rarely discussed with car shampoos: the scent. In professional settings, strong-smelling shampoos can get wearing over a long day in enclosed spaces. XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo has a subtle, fresh smell of its own that won't bother you at work. That's a detail that makes a difference over hours of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pros in the car-wash trade, the 5-litre container is an economical setup. At a dose of 50 ml per wash (foam lance), a 5-litre container covers 100 cars. That works out to about 34 cents of product per car — an order of magnitude that's easy to budget for and barely registers in the total cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShampoo comparison — Rich-Foam vs. Foam+Seal vs. FoamGiant vs. Ceramic Active\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX XTREME shampoo range covers different needs with different products. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pure wash shampoo — maximum foam performance for a careful pre-wash, with no added sealant. If you want to top up the protection layer with every wash, reach for \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foam-seal-schaumversiegelung-autoshampoo-versiegelung\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Foam+Seal\u003c\/a\u003e: it carries a polymer sealant component that goes on with every wash and builds the paint's hydrophobicity bit by bit. The trade-off: it leaves a light build-up film that can cause slight hazing with frequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the differences in foam tech, surface compatibility matters too. XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo is suited to painted surfaces, chrome, glass and plastic exterior parts. For wheels, a separate wheel cleaner is the way to go, since wheels usually carry more brake dust and grease than a standard shampoo can shift efficiently. The usual day-to-day call: pre-treat the wheels with wheel cleaner first, then foam the whole car with the Rich-Foam shampoo — that way the wheel grime doesn't get carried onto the bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foamgiant-shampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eSONAX XTREME FoamGiant Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e is also built for maximum foam, but optimised for pro foam lances and pressure-pot systems. Its viscosity and concentration differ slightly from the Rich-Foam shampoo, which gives different results depending on the foam-lance type. A direct comparison on your own gear gives the best answer to which product works better for your specific kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of rinsing after the foam pass deserves attention too. Rinsing the foam off fully before the contact wash matters, so the mitt works on the cleanest surface possible in the second step — not on a mix of foam and the dirt trapped in it. If you're working with hard water, a very light final rinse with deionised water at the end helps avoid limescale spots when drying. But that's about drying management after the wash, not the shampoo itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo, by contrast, has a different focus: it carries Si-Carbon tech for coating-safe care and is the shampoo of choice for ceramic-coated cars that should get a Si-Carbon top-up with every wash. If you just want to wash an uncoated car clean, the Rich-Foam shampoo has you fully covered; if you want to fold coating care into the wash, the Ceramic ActiveShampoo serves you better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the SONAX Rich-Foam Shampoo is the right pick for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rich-Foam shampoo is the entry-level shampoo for anyone who wants to step up their wash routine with a foam pre-wash. If you own a pressure washer or a foam lance and want to cut out the swirl-creating moments of the contact wash, the Rich-Foam shampoo is the right product for the pre-wash step. It's easy to dose, versatile, and sits in a price bracket that's no financial hurdle even for regular users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operations cleaning customer cars regularly and caring about gentle paint care, the 5-litre container is the right size. The scalable dosing gives you the freedom to adjust shampoo concentration as needed — from a light routine wash to a heavier pre-clean ahead of a polishing pass. For home users without a pressure washer, the Rich-Foam shampoo in the 1-litre container is the way to go. With a simple foam attachment for the garden hose you can run a foam pre-wash without a pressure washer too — the foam density isn't quite as impressive, but it's enough for a far safer contact wash than going in without a pre-wash. Even on a parking lot with a single bucket and a microfibre wash mitt, the Rich-Foam shampoo works fine as a normal wash soap — you don't get the full foam benefit then, but the cleaning power and coating compatibility stay intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a verified SONAX dealer, Detailing1 keeps the XTREME Rich-Foam Shampoo in both container sizes permanently in stock and recommends it as the base shampoo for any car-wash workflow that values paint-safe cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49160879702351,"sku":"D1-SNX-02483000","price":11.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49310954193231,"sku":"D1-SNX-2485000","price":34.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-RichFoam-Shampoo-Auto-Shampoo-1-Liter-1.png?v=1721514365"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.ch\/en\/collections\/waschen-und-reinigen.oembed?page=15","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
