MORE THAN A CAR CARE ONLINE SHOP

Detailing1.de is more than a car care and detailing shop.

The car care shop for washing, cleaning and looking after your car. 🧽🪣

Store in Nordhorn

Car Care Shop with a System — Specialist Retailer, Not Just a Shelf

For us, the car care shop is not just a shelf, but a system. From pH-neutral hand washing to mechanical decontamination and ceramic coating, our product range covers every phase of vehicle care — not just a label on a bottle, but a clear task in the process.

In the catalog, you will find chemical brands like Koch-Chemie, SONAX, GYEON, Dr. Wack (A1, P21S, S100), Soft99, Meguiar's, Tuga Chemie and INNOVACAR; hardware like FLEX and Rupes for machine polishing; Bigboi for pressure washers, iK Sprayers and SOLO for pump sprayers and foam sprayers; The Rag Company for microfiber and pads; COLOURLOCK for leather care; as well as accessories from spray nozzles to brushes and YETI transport boxes.

Every Brand is Tested In-House First

We deliberately don't carry everything. Every brand in our assortment has been tested in our own workshop before it made its way into the shop. No black-label marketing, no branded shampoo from a blending factory — only car care products that deliver in everyday use. This narrows down the selection to what works and gives us the authority to advise you specifically: which shampoo for weekly washing, which wheel cleaner for sintered OEM rims, which polish for hard clear coat.

Good advice is still at the heart of what we do

Most questions when buying car care products are about the products, not the order itself: which wheel cleaner is suitable for sintered wheels without damaging their protective coating? Is snow foam enough for the pre-wash, or do you also need a pre-cleaner with plenty of surfactants? How long does a ceramic coating need to cure before it can get wet? That's exactly what our team is here for. Reach us by phone, chat or email for advice backed by real car detailing experience, not a call-centre script.

We ship with DHL, DPD, UPS and FedEx. Standard parcels arrive within one to two working days in Germany. Free shipping on orders of €89 or more. Pay by invoice, Klarna, PayPal, credit card or direct debit.

Detailing1 PRO for trade customers

If you're buying as a detailer, workshop, car dealership or fleet operator, take a look at our B2B programme. You get a two-tier points scheme (PRO and PRO Black), access to litre bottles and canisters of ten litres or more, and a direct contact for trade terms. Register your business and we'll give you a one-off bonus of 1,000 points.

New to detailing? The Detailing101 blog gets you up to speed on the basics: washing techniques, the right order of steps and common mistakes. It's grounded in hands-on experience, not manufacturers' marketing brochures.

Detailing1 — Detailing Shop for Enthusiasts and Professionals

Detailing1 is a specialized car care shop based in Nordhorn. What sets us apart from traditional detailing shops: every brand in our assortment is also used in our own workshop. We don't sell what looks good on the shelf — we sell what still performs after a season of hard detailing. This combination of shop and workshop influences every product selection, every description, and every consultation over the phone.

Our clientele is divided into two groups. Enthusiasts who care for their own cars and take their craft seriously — be it their daily BMW, their weekend Porsche, or the classic 911 in the garage. And professionals: detailers, workshops, car dealerships, and fleet operators who depend on consistent results under time pressure. Both groups find the same products with us, but through different channels — the end customer directly in the shop, the professional via the Detailing1 PRO program with its own conditions and bulk containers starting from ten liters.

Shop and Workshop in One — That's Our Difference

Unlike pure online shops, you can also visit Detailing1. In our store in Nordhorn, you can hold every product in your hand, we demonstrate applications on vehicles, and you get advice directly from the people who are also available for you online. For those who want to delve deeper, the Detailing101 blog offers systematic knowledge about car detailing, paint protection, and vehicle care. In our portrait series Meet the Detailer, we also regularly feature detailers from the community. At Detailing1, it's not just about selling accessories, but about a craft with its own culture and clear tradition.
