The Soft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a specialised glass cleaner with dual-compound technology: a mix of small hard and large soft abrasive particles pulls off even the most stubborn grime like oil film, fluoride deposits and old coating residue — the perfect prep for getting the most life out of any Glaco glass coating.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the prep product of the Glaco range — and with that the most important step most drivers skip. A glass coating can only bond as well as the glass underneath it is clean. Oil film from traffic, fluoride deposits from old screen washes, silicone residue and wiper smear all build an invisible barrier that drastically cuts the lifespan of even a high-end coating. The Glass Compound Roll On fixes exactly that: the unique dual-compound formula with two different particle sizes cleans the glass right down to the bare surface — mechanically, thoroughly, and with no chemical residue. The handy roll-on applicator with its wide felt head makes it as easy to use as the coating products in the Glaco range: press it down, spread it, rinse it off. With 100ml in the bottle, one goes a long way, since each windscreen only takes a few millilitres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-compound technology with two particle sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The mix of small hard particles and larger soft particles gives you a twofold cleaning action: the hard particles break up stubborn deposits while the soft particles polish the surface smooth at the same time.

The clever bit: two different particle types work at the same time. The small hard particles (think of a very fine cutting paste) break up grime mechanically — oil film, fluoride deposits from screen washes, limescale and silicone left by old coatings. The larger soft particles smooth the surface as they go and keep the hard particles from leaving micro-scratches. The result is glass that feels noticeably smoother after the treatment than it did before. That smoothness isn't just about looks — it's what lets hydrophobic coatings like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e form an even, gap-free layer of protection. Without that prep, coating molecules settle unevenly: the coating grabs on the clean spots and not on the dirty ones — and you end up with patchy beading and a shorter lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On properly — optimal glass prep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the \u003cstrong\u003eGlass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e starts with a rough pre-clean: rinse the glass with water to get rid of loose dirt, sand and dust — otherwise those particles can leave scratches during the compound step. Shake the bottle hard before use so the compound particles spread evenly. Squeeze the bottle gently to feed compound onto the felt applicator, then run it over the whole pane in overlapping, straight passes. Use moderate pressure — you should feel the particles working across the surface. Go over each area two or three times, especially the wiper zones, where oil film and fluoride deposits build up the most. After the treatment, rinse the glass thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a clean microfibre cloth. Important: don't use a glass cleaner after the compound — a lot of glass cleaners leave residue of their own that gets in the way of the coating's grip. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the exception here, since it's formulated specifically for the Glaco range and leaves nothing behind that would harm the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the glass prep makes the difference — lifespan and result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eglass prep with the Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most underrated factor in glass coating. What we see day-to-day at Detailing1 is that a clean base prep doubles how long any coating lasts. An \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on an unprepped pane typically holds four to six months. The same Ultra Glaco on a pane prepped with the Glass Compound easily reaches ten to twelve months. The reason: without prep, grime sits between the glass and the coating and acts as a weak spot — water gets in there and lifts the coating off in patches. With the compound the grip is even right across the surface, and the coating only thins slowly through mechanical wear (wipers, car washes) instead of flaking off in patches. That difference really shows with long-life coatings like Ultra Glaco or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e.

The Glass Compound Roll On is a pure, specialised glass cleaner built for maximum cleaning power: two different particle sizes, a high abrasive concentration, no coating component. The Glaco Q is a 2-in-1 product that pairs a milder compound clean with a hydrophobic coating. Day-to-day that means: for a first treatment or heavily soiled glass, the Glass Compound Roll On is the better call, because it cleans deeper and shifts more stubborn grime. The Glaco Q is plenty for lightly soiled glass and top-ups, and it saves you the separate coating step.

It's worth it on new cars too: from the factory, glass often carries invisible residue from protective films, transport and cleaning agents that weaken a coating.

Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. 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. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. 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=\"\/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.

Your decision tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping use cases — the choice isn't about price, it's about what you're cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop pick: hard-alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, built for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/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-magic-wheel-cleaner-mwc-felgenreiniger","title":"Magic Wheel Cleaner \"Mwc\" Wheel Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eDissolve brake dust chemically on polished wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner?

The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate, a salt of thioglycolic acid, reacts with the iron(III) compounds in brake dust and lifts them off the wheel surface as a red-violet complex. The colour change isn't a marketing gimmick but the chemical reaction itself: where you see violet, iron is being converted right then and there. With a pH of 5–6 the formula stays gentle on painted and polished alloy wheels, chrome and steel. The high viscosity of 50 mPa·s means the product clings to vertical wheel faces instead of running straight off — so you get the full dwell time on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed-violet colour change as a reaction indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e No guessing how long to wait.

Warm surfaces let the gel dry on, and that leaves residue you then have to brush off. On heavily soiled wheels after months without cleaning, two short passes beat one long one: the active ingredient is chemically saturated after about 5 minutes. Just let it dwell twice for 3 minutes each and rinse in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. Spray. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the Magic Wheel Cleaner onto the cold, dry wheel — cover spokes, barrel, the rim edge and the wheel bolts evenly. Thanks to the syrup-like consistency the product clings vertically without you having to change how you work. Best to work bottom to top so you don't cover faces you've already wetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 to 60 seconds the colour change kicks in: first on spots with a lot of brake dust, then across the whole face. Red-violet streaks show you exactly where iron particles are being converted. After 2 to 5 minutes' dwell time the reaction is done — waiting longer gets you nothing, because the active ingredient is saturated after about 5 minutes. A common mistake is leaving the product on for 10 minutes hoping for better results. The opposite happens: the solution starts to dry on and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish by rinsing off with a strong jet of water from the pressure washer or garden hose, top to bottom. With heavy brake dust between tight spokes a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e can help spread the dissolved material — but not for scrubbing, just for touch-up. If you clean weekly to fortnightly, one pass usually does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on dosing: 500 ml lasts for about 10 full vehicle cleans. Per wheel, 40 to 50 ml is plenty. That works out to EUR 1.25 per full application — far more economical than the bottle price suggests, once you weigh it against the time spent mechanically scrubbing with less effective cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves iron particles. Not tar.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is built precisely for one job: dissolving brake dust and flash rust chemically. The reaction between ammonium mercaptoacetate and the iron(III) ions in brake dust is the mechanism — anything that isn't iron doesn't get touched. That explains the colour change as a diagnostic tool: no colour means no iron, and no effect in that case isn't a shortfall of the product but the right answer to the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary use, the Magic Wheel Cleaner also works on paint as a flash-rust remover — especially handy on vehicles parked under industrial fallout or next to railway tracks. Fine iron particles settle there on the clear coat and react with the MWC formula just like they do on the wheel. Used before polishing, it boosts the adhesion of any following wax or ceramic coating, because the paint surface is genuinely contamination-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the MWC isn't the right product: baked-on tar, bitumen spots and oily soiling don't react with thioglycolate salts. For that you need a solvent-based tar remover. On badly neglected wheels with months-old brake dust that has worked its way into the pores, the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-rwc\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e can be the better call — its acid system is more powerful, though not suited to every wheel material. The choice is clear: when safety on chrome and polished wheels matters, MWC. When you need maximum cleaning power and you're working with alloy painted and steel, RWC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second case where no wheel cleaner in the world will help anymore: when the wheel is already visibly corroded or the clear coat has flaked off. At that point cleaning isn't the issue anymore — paint refurbishment is. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is a care product, not a restoration product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour standard for the regular wheel workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is the right call for anyone who keeps their wheels on a regular schedule and wants a product where they don't have to think about material compatibility. One product, one step, all wheels done. That's workshop logic — and that's exactly what the MWC is formulated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt really plays its strengths when you look after several vehicles with different wheel types or work on a fleet. Instead of three cleaners for three wheel types, one does it. It's weaker on extremely baked-on brake-dust residue from high-performance brake setups, or on wheels that haven't been cleaned for months. In both cases a second pass or a more aggressive product makes more sense than extending the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution the Magic Wheel Cleaner works best paired with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vorreinigung\"\u003epre-cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e like Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B, applied as foam over the whole wheel before the MWC goes into the spokes. Finish with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etyre dressing\u003c\/a\u003e on the flank — and the complete wheel workflow comes in at around 15 minutes per vehicle, if you stay on it every two weeks. That's the most common combo our customers buy: Vorreiniger B + Magic Wheel Cleaner. A precise, repeatable routine that works without scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead to head with the acid-free classic SONAX FelgenBeast, the Magic Wheel Cleaner comes out ahead on two counts: the higher viscosity means longer contact time on the wheel, and the workshop formula is dosed stronger for commercial use. The FelgenBeast has a milder smell, though — if you work in a closed garage you'll definitely notice that. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is the workshop standard. The FelgenBeast is the garage all-rounder. Both do their job reliably; the question is which one fits your working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48503670374735,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500","price":13.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":49725159276879,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_2","price":27.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":49725159342415,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_3","price":41.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48503670407503,"sku":"D1-KCX-425010","price":120.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-saeurefreier-felgenreiniger.jpg?v=1776410618"},{"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?

That's all the prep it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger panels like the dashboard, door cards or headliner, three to five squirts per part is plenty. Give the cleaner a moment to break down skin oils, fingerprints and the dust-binding layer, then wipe down evenly with the dry side of your cloth. 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. With the ASC you work in broad, long passes so no dry edges form between the damp and the untreated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is too much product and too long a dwell time. When the ASC flashes off, fine streaks stay behind that you then have to re-wet and wipe away — an avoidable extra round. So work panel by panel rather than across the whole surface, and keep the dwell time under a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a cleaning gun like the Tornador or Cyclone you can also work the ASC into textiles, seat seams and door pockets, where the cloth alone won't reach. The pH-neutral formula is built for it: it lifts the dirt into foam and picks back up with little residue. With the gun method, follow up afterwards with compressed air or a thirsty cloth so no moisture stays trapped in the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/asc_2_anwendung.jpg?v=1775896038\" alt=\"ASC sprayed onto a microfibre cloth in front of a car interior\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths and limits of the ASC day-to-day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is pH-neutral and ready-to-use. That makes it safe on delicate surfaces, but it costs cleaning power on heavily soiled or very greasy areas. That's deliberate in the formula, not a shortfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn typical everyday dirt the Allround Surface Cleaner pulls its weight: skin oil on the wheel, fingerprints on the touchscreen, a dust film on the centre console, pollen blown into the A-pillar, white specks on black plastic. That's what the product was made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn coated leather, piano black and gloss trim the neutral pH is an extra safety net that takes away the material guesswork that always rides along with alkaline interior cleaners. You don't have to think before every use about whether the product suits the material — on normal plastic, glass and leather surfaces in the car the ASC is a safe call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the ASC won't do: it won't shift old nicotine films, an oily workshop grip on the door frame or coffee stains baked into the fabric. Badly yellowed plastics on the sill or a dried cola splash in the cup holder need more muscle too. If your cabin gets cared for regularly, the Allround Surface Cleaner is your product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're prepping a lease return or getting a used car ready to sell, grab the alkaline \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eheavy-duty cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and then use the ASC afterwards on the finer surfaces like displays, leather and gloss trim. The two complement each other. They don't replace each other. Try to cover the whole spectrum with just one of them and you'll end up either short on power or short on material safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/asc_3_detail.jpg?v=1775896040\" alt=\"ASC streak-free on a black piano-black panel inside the cabin\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e500 ml on the shelf, 10 L in the rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is meant for anyone who keeps their cabin clean weekly or after every longer drive.

With weekly use and microfibre-backed application 500 ml is built for three to four months — one bottle per car per quarter is a realistic rule of thumb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work a fleet, a shop or as a mobile detailer, you're better off jumping straight to the 10-litre canister and topping up the spray bottles as needed. A full interior detail on a passenger car burns through 80 to 150 ml of product. 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. For that there are dedicated products in another league, and there the mild pH is more of a drawback than a plus. The ASC is deliberately not a workshop cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn your workflow you pair the ASC with a short-pile \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/the-collection-mikrofasertuecher-allround-365-kurzfloriges-edgeless-mikrofasertuch-365-gsm\"\u003emicrofibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e from 300 GSM up — dense enough for the wheel and door card, soft enough for displays and piano-black panels.

We often get messages like \"the glass cleaner leaves streaks\". Usually the wiping happened on a warm pane in the sun, where the film flashes off before the cloth lifts it. Work on a cold pane in the shade and go by the two-cloth rule: lift the dirt with 1 damp cloth, then buff dry in straight passes with a dry glass cloth. More product doesn't clean better, it tends to leave edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on neat, pull it off streak-free with two cloths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Glass Cleaner \"Gc\" on neat from 20 to 30 cm onto the cold, shaded pane and pull it off with a dry microfibre glass cloth in straight passes. That way no film of water is left standing to flash off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the cleaner lifts bug splatter, pollen and the greasy road film. With a baked-on bug front, let the cleaner soak for about 30 seconds and only then pull it off, rather than scrubbing harder. That goes easy on the glass and on the wiper blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, it's about the greasy film off-gassing from the dash and about nicotine. If you want to \u003cem\u003eclean your car windows from the inside\u003c\/em\u003e, spray sparingly onto the cloth rather than straight onto the glass, so no mist drifts onto a display or a vent. With a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-rag-company-diamond-280-gsm-mikrofaser-glastuch\"\u003emicrofibre glass cloth\u003c\/a\u003e especially, the cloth quality decides whether the loosened dirt gets picked up or just smeared around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second, bone-dry pass over the finished pane lifts the last haze out. That's exactly the step most people skip, and that's exactly where you get the streaks you spot later in backlight. A good glide additive makes the difference here between any old cleaner and a real car glass cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy the cold pane? The additive only works its glide as long as the film is liquid. On hot glass the water flashes off too fast, the cleaner grabs and the cloth just pushes the dirt around. In the shade or early in the morning you've got that window of time. Wash new microfibre cloths once without softener before they ever touch glass too, otherwise they carry sizing onto it that pulls streaks all by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-glass-cleaner-gc-glasreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1780006597\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Glass Cleaner Gc being sprayed on a car window and pulled off with a microfibre cloth\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Gc is built for and what it isn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gc cleans glass, it doesn't seal it and it doesn't belong in the washer reservoir.

One verified customer puts it well: with stubborn dirt you need 2 to 3 passes rather than scrubbing under pressure. A short soak and another pull is gentler and quicker in the end, because you avoid scratches you'd have to polish out later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-fog protection is something the Gc deliberately leaves out. It gets you clean, clear glass, but against fogging from the inside only an anti-fog treatment helps for the long run. Clean glass does fog up far more evenly though, and so far less of a bother than a greasy film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the car the Gc cleans mirrors, interior and exterior, motorcycle visors, instrument glass and smooth surfaces around the house like tiles or stainless steel. The only place to be careful is on matte anti-glare nav and instrument displays: there you always spray onto the cloth and work with little pressure, so the coating doesn't suffer. On clear glass and glossy plastic headlights it works with no restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a smoker's car a tacky nicotine film settles on the inside glass, scattering the light and making everything look yellowed. Here you work in 2 layers: lift and roughly take it off first, then buff dry with a fresh cloth. After that first thorough clean a normal pass later is enough to keep the view clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to work ready-to-use and stay film- and tint-safe, the Gc is the right call.

The commuter grabs the 1-litre bottle, the detailer the 10 or 20-litre container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass cleaners are in highest demand in spring: pollen and bug season drives demand about 40 percent over the quiet winter level. If you've got a bottle in the boot now, you clean the windscreen on the road instead of driving into the low sun with a pollen film and streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day the difference shows in the details: no streaks in backlight, no haze on the inside glass that turns oncoming headlights into stars at night. If you drive a lot with the sun low or in the dark, you notice a streak-free pane straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gc is fuss-free on cost: 1 litre ready-to-use lasts many weeks of commuter life depending on how much you spray, and decanting the 10-litre container into a spray bottle costs you far less per litre. Store the cleaner frost-free and the spray function stays reliable across the whole shelf life. An opened bottle in the car survives the summer heat better if it isn't left baking in full sun all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often you clean depends on your driving: if you commute daily, keep the windscreen clear inside about every 2 weeks and outside as needed with pollen or bugs. High-mileage drivers and detailers with several cars a day get the most out of the big container and a spray bottle fixed to the trolley. That turns reaching for the car glass cleaner into routine rather than the exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one trick hardly anyone does and that stops most streaks: clean the inside first, then the outside, and pull horizontally inside, vertically outside. If a streak is left after cleaning, the direction tells you straight away whether it's on the inside or the outside, and you only fix it there. That saves you the third pass and the guessing.

Not suitable for rubber, EPDM seals, soft plastic trim or freshly sealed paint.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Teerwäsche A\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solvent-based tar and bitumen remover with Daimler approval that lifts stubborn road residue off solvent-resistant surfaces without ever touching the paint mechanically. The active blend — C10–C13 n-alkanes, isoalkanes and cycloalkanes with under 2 percent aromatics — chemically breaks apart the molecule chains in bitumen and tar. The residue runs off in streaks and you either steam it away with the pressure washer or wipe it off with a microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree of halogenated hydrocarbons, so it's a lot kinder to materials than the old-school tar removers people kept in jerry cans back in the 90s. Available in 1 litre, 10 litre and 20 litre — plus a 2-pack and 3-pack when you need more. Alongside the alkane blend the formula carries a share of 2-butoxyethanol as a coupling agent, which improves how it wets a glass-smooth panel and keeps it working even at cooler ambient temperatures. 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=\"\/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=\"\/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=\"\/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. Never use Teerwäsche A on heated surfaces or in direct sun — the solvent then flashes off too fast and leaves an oily film. Have gloves (nitrile-resistant) and safety glasses ready. Pick a well-ventilated area; for pro use, make sure of at least three air changes an hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentify the area.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tar and bitumen spots are typically found on the lower vehicle sections: side sills, wheel arches, bumpers, lower door edges. The affected area has to be dry — a wet surface dilutes the solvent and cuts the effect. If the vehicle was just washed, let it dry first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpray on.\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply Teerwäsche A undiluted with the Canyon spray head CHS-3AN or a solvent-resistant trade spray bottle onto the affected spot. Spray from about 15 to 20 cm in an even film, without flooding the surface. Work vertically: bottom to top, so the product runs down and wets the whole area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet it dwell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Leave it 30 seconds to 3 minutes. You'll see when it's working: tar dissolves into brownish-black streaks running down the surface. Don't let it dry — in warmer conditions above 20 °C go for shorter dwell times and a second application. Beyond 3 minutes, longer dwell brings no extra cleaning power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRinse or wipe off.\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam the dissolved residue away with the pressure washer at around 120 bar from 30 cm.

Above 30 degrees paint temperature the cleaner flashes off before the dwell time is up — leaving dull streaks that only come off with polish. Before you start, move the vehicle into the shade or rinse it down with cold water first. In full summer sun, reach for the milder Pre-Foam efficient instead, which is far more forgiving with its 1-minute maximum dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:30 for insects. 1:300 for high pressure.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDilution depends on how dirty the vehicle is and how you apply it. 1:30 to 1:50 for the pre-wash, 1:3 to 1:10 for heavily soiled wheels, 1:300 for self-service high-pressure units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the touchless pre-wash with a foam lance you work at 1:30 to 1:50. One litre of concentrate at 1:50 gives you 51 litres of ready-to-use solution — enough for roughly 20 to 25 cars in standard exterior care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam lance should run at 0.8 to 1.2 litres per minute flow so the foam consistency is right and the cleaner clings to vertical panels long enough to do its job. Apply the pre-cleaner from the bottom up onto the cold, pre-wetted vehicle — that way you avoid run marks on unevenly dried panels. After 5 minutes dwell time at most (VDA Class A), rinse off thoroughly with the pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn self-service wash bays, 1:300 is enough — that's the high-volume dilution and it cuts product use noticeably over a full year. For wheel cleaning you work at 1:3 to 1:10, sprayed straight onto the cold dry wheel, left to dwell for 1 minute at most, then rinsed. Important: don't use it on hot brake discs or warm wheels. The heat speeds up the reaction in an uncontrolled way and raises the risk of dulling on painted alloy wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wash tunnels with conveyor lines you typically run 1:100 to 1:200. Dwell time in the tunnel is usually 30 to 60 seconds, which still keeps you safely inside the VDA-B limit of 1 minute. The higher dilution cuts foam volume at the spray arch but keeps enough cleaning power thanks to the high active-ingredient concentration. With high vehicle throughput it pays to switch to the 225 kg container — a better price per litre of concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor copolymer de-waxing — stripping old preservatives before a fresh sealant — 1:5 to 1:10 is the right dilution.

No snow foam replacement.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch Chemie Vorreiniger B is not a mild foam pre-cleaner for coating-protected vehicles. pH 13.1 is workshop level — strong, uncompromising, but sensitive in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strength is on heavily soiled vehicles with insect, bird-dropping and road residue after a long motorway run or after winter. It also works reliably on baked-on brake dust on steel wheels and on alkali-resistant painted alloy wheels. The foam is functional — not the show foam you get from classic snow-foam products, but a working foam that clings to vertical panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow the honest read on the limits. First, the Vorreiniger B is not friendly to active ceramic coatings. Used regularly on coating-protected vehicles it breaks the coating down faster than a pH-neutral pre-wash foam does. For vehicles with an active coating, the milder Pre-Foam efficient is the better call. Second, don't use it on polished aluminium or chrome surfaces — despite the corrosion inhibitors, pH 13.1 can dull untreated light metals. The inhibitors protect anodised alloy, not bare alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird: it is not paint-surface gentle in the sense of a hand-wash chemistry. If you look after your new car with the two-bucket method and a mild car shampoo, you don't need a Vorreiniger B in the garage. Its job starts where hand washing no longer cuts it — on heavily soiled vehicles, commercial fleets, utility vehicles and construction machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtective gear is a must, not optional. Nitrile gloves and safety glasses when mixing and applying. On skin contact, rinse straight away with plenty of water and remove residue with mild soap. Never leave the concentrate bottle open — the fumes from the alkaline cleaner irritate airways and mucous membranes on longer exposure. Close it well after use and store it frost-free and dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material compatibility of the Vorreiniger B has clear limits. Allowed: steel, anodised aluminium, alkali-resistant painted surfaces, glass and standard automotive plastics. Not allowed: polished light metals, bare chrome surfaces, coloured anodised layers (risk of discolouration) and matt-painted surfaces without a protective film. When in doubt, test on an inconspicuous spot before the first application and watch it for 3 minutes — it costs little time and saves expensive damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-vorreiniger-b-vb-vorreiniger_ergebnis.jpg?v=1776199899\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B workshop-grade alkaline cleaner pH 13.1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:1.5em 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Vorreiniger B is for — from the pro to the home garage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch Chemie Vorreiniger B is built for pros and experienced home users with know-how in alkaline chemistry.

The 5 kg, 11 kg and 1 litre versions are aimed at single users, smaller workshops and experienced private buyers with their own high-pressure kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre container is the right way in to test the product and the dilution on your own vehicle before moving up to larger quantities. The first time you mix it, work with a calibrated measuring jug — go by eye and most beginners land far too concentrated, which loads the material needlessly and encourages streaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a mild, coating-friendly pre-wash foam, you're better off with the Pre-Foam efficient. If you supply express wash lines with extremely short dwell times, reach for the Pre-Wash B. If you need the strongest cleaner for baked-on oil and grease residue on engines and chassis, take the Copo Star BMP-T. The Vorreiniger B is the all-round middle of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie range\u003c\/a\u003e — phosphate-free, double VDA-compliant, fast-separating to ÖNORM 5106 and therefore also approved for biological process-water treatment systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that last point is the real Detailing1 insight.

The special formula of the FelgenReiniger PLUS is explicitly cleared for TPMS — an important detail on any newer car that plenty of rival products can't match.\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 Always spray the FelgenReiniger PLUS onto cool wheels — never onto hot wheels straight after a drive. A hot surface flashes the product off instantly, the indicator can't develop and cleaning power drops off a cliff. After you park up, give it at least 10–15 minutes before you start. On heavily soiled wheels with baked-on brake dust: lay it on generously, wait 5 minutes, then back it up with a soft wheel brush — that pulls residue out of the deeper spoke recesses too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-acting cleaning with a colour indicator — how the XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is the self-acting formula with optimised cling. Unlike a simple surfactant in a watery solution — which runs off the wheel before it can do anything — the FelgenReiniger PLUS formula grabs onto vertical and curved wheel faces. That cling buys the product the contact time it needs to work chemically on baked-on brake dust and metal-oxide particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour indicator is the visible sign of that reaction. Iron particles — the main ingredient in brake dust — react with specific actives in the formula and throw off a reddish-violet dye. This isn't artificial colouring, it's a real chemical reaction: the stronger the red, the more brake dust is there. As the colour fades, most of the iron particles are bound up and dissolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-neutral formula isn't a marketing line, it's a safety statement: the cleaner works in the neutral pH range, so it goes after neither aluminium nor steel alloys. Galvanised steel parts like wheel bolts and valves come through untouched too. More alkaline or acidic cleaners can leave clouding or corrosion on bolts and trim — with the FelgenReiniger PLUS the formula rules that risk out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note on working temperature: pH-neutral iron removers are at their best at room temperature. Very cold wheels (under 5 degrees) noticeably slow the reaction down — in frost you can stretch the dwell time to 8–10 minutes to get the same result. In extreme cold, a quick warm-up of the wheel with lukewarm water from the hose helps, bringing the surface up to working temperature without heating the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimised cling really pays off on cars with deep-dish sport wheels. That's where brake dust and oil residue love to sit — on the back of the spokes and in the barrel, spots a normal jet of water barely reaches and where a runny cleaner with no grip would slide straight off. The FelgenReiniger PLUS sticks to these vertical and overhead faces and gives the actives the time they need to work into the deposit there too. It makes a real difference on cars with deep sport wheels, where cleaning the inner sections is otherwise a proper chore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the FelgenReiniger PLUS properly — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe job starts before you even spray: shake the bottle briefly and turn the nozzle to the spray position. On unknown or resprayed wheels, test material compatibility first on a hidden spot — resprayed wheels with fresh clear coat can react sensitively to the cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the cooled wheels evenly and wet from a short distance (15–20 cm). The key here: lay it on generously so the whole wheel face is wetted, including the back of the spokes and the barrel. Let it dwell for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how dirty things are. Watch the colour reaction — on dirtier wheels the reddish shift is clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn baked-on brake dust, back it up mechanically with a soft wheel brush. The brush spreads the cleaner evenly into the recesses and lifts residue that chemistry alone won't fully shift. Wear suitable protective gloves while you do it — prolonged skin contact with the product can cause irritation. Then rinse off thoroughly with a strong jet of water or a pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is letting the cleaner dry on: if the dwell time runs too long or the sun beats straight onto the wet wheel, the cleaner can dry and leave white residue behind. It rinses off again with water, but it's needless extra work. So work in the shade where you can and don't push past the recommended 5-minute dwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more tip for a smooth workflow: always work all four wheels in a loop — spray wheel 1, then wheel 2, then 3, then 4 — and start rinsing back at wheel 1. That way every wheel gets the full 3–5 minutes of dwell without you standing around waiting. It saves time and gives you even results across all four. On very heavily soiled wheels a second pass may be needed — in that case rinse the wheel, spray again and let it dwell for another 3 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrake dust, rubber, oil — what the PLUS lifts off every wheel type\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrake dust is the most common and the most stubborn wheel contamination. It comes off the brake disc and pad as metal particles during braking and gets heated by the brake hydraulics. At several hundred degrees it literally bakes into the wheel surface. Plain surfactant-based shampoos can't touch these baked-on oxide particles — for that you need a specialist cleaner with an iron-reducing component like the FelgenReiniger PLUS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of that, the cleaner lifts oil and rubber residue that settles on the inner wheel flank from tyre wear. This residue is tougher than brake dust and clings especially hard to polished or high-gloss wheels. The self-acting formula works into it and emulsifies it, so it comes away completely on the rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor painted and powder-coated wheels the FelgenReiniger PLUS is a safe bet. The pH-neutral formula attacks neither clear coats nor powder coatings — a decisive edge over acidic wheel cleaners that are built for bare aluminium and can damage painted surfaces. Chromed wheels benefit from the gentle formula too — chrome is sensitive to acids but comes through the pH-neutral treatment unharmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatte wheels are a category of their own, where plenty of wheel cleaners fall down: products that are too aggressive change the matte surface through a chemical reaction or leave shiny patches. The FelgenReiniger PLUS is explicitly cleared for matte wheel finishes too — the gentle formula cleans without touching the matte effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor steel wheels, often found on winter sets, the FelgenReiniger PLUS is the right call as well. Steel wheels pick up a lot of grime over winter from road salt and wet roads, and it clings hard come spring. The combination of iron reaction and surfactant formula clears rust fallout along with salt and grease deposits in a single pass — ideal for the spring check on winter wheels before they go into storage or you swap back to summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel cleaner comparison — PLUS, FelgenBeast and PROFILINE Red Max\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX line-up has several wheel cleaners that differ in aggressiveness, formula and use case. The \u003ca href=\"\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eFelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e is acid-free too and works with colour-change technology. It's explicitly designed for all wheel types including painted ones and, as the direct counterpart to the FelgenReiniger PLUS, it's well known. The difference is in the detail: the FelgenBeast is tuned for regular cleaning at moderate soiling, while the FelgenReiniger PLUS with its self-acting cling formula is especially effective on heavier baked-on brake dust and clings to the surface for longer. If you clean at short intervals and never let brake dust build up too far, the FelgenBeast has you covered. If you wait longer between cleans or drive a car with sportier brakes, you'll rate the PLUS as the stronger choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pro users with extremely soiled wheels or cars going through reconditioning, there's the PROFILINE range from SONAX with higher cleaning intensity. The PROFILINE products are formulated for professional use, but they also demand more care in application and aren't suitable for every wheel type. As an XTREME product, the FelgenReiniger PLUS gives the home user the right balance of power and safety — strong enough for stubborn brake dust, safe enough for every common wheel finish without special precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, a protective product makes sense: the \u003ca href=\"\/sonax-xtreme-felgenschutzversiegelung-felgen-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Wheel Protection Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e lays down a hydrophobic barrier on the wheel after cleaning, so brake dust and dirt cling less easily next time round. If you seal your wheels after every deep clean, you cut down on how often you need to clean and stretch the time to the next intensive wheel job considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying a wheel cleaner — who the XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right product for owners who want to clean their wheels regularly and thoroughly — with something that doesn't give up even on heavier baked-on brake dust. It's especially suited to cars with sporty brakes that throw off more brake dust, or cars with longer cleaning intervals where brake dust has built up over several weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of cars with TPMS, the FelgenReiniger PLUS is the safe pick: the explicit clearance for TPMS valves takes away the worry about whether the cleaner might damage the pressure sensors. On newer cars in particular, where nearly every variant ships with TPMS, that's an important buying point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sensible care workflow for wheels: FelgenReiniger PLUS for the deep clean on heavier brake dust, then the XTREME Wheel Protection Sealant for lasting protection, and the \u003ca href=\"\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-reifen-felgendetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Tyre+WheelDetailer\u003c\/a\u003e for a quick refresh between full washes. That combination keeps wheels clean and well protected with minimal effort. The clever part: if you seal the wheels after the deep clean, you'll need far less FelgenReiniger PLUS at the next interval, because the protective layer cuts down how much brake dust sticks. So the system pays off not just on looks but on the wallet too — less product used for the same or a better result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FelgenReiniger PLUS comes in 500 ml and 750 ml spray bottles. The 500 ml bottle covers plenty of cleaning passes on a normal car — if you look after several cars or clean often, the 750 ml bottle is the more economical buy. Both sizes hold the same cleaner and the same performance, just in different container sizes. For average home use the 500 ml bottle is the more practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the effort front, the FelgenReiniger PLUS is one of the most time-saving ways to look after wheels. Spray, dwell, rinse — no scrubbing, no repeated applications, no follow-up polish. That makes it especially appealing for owners who want to fold wheel care into their regular wash weekend without much extra fuss. In 15–20 minutes all four wheels on a car are clean and ready for the sealant to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: the SONAX XTREME FelgenReiniger PLUS is a solid choice for anyone who wants to clean their wheels thoroughly and gently — without skimping on power, but without any risk to delicate wheel finishes. The indicator makes the action visible, the TPMS clearance makes it safe for modern cars and the pH-neutral formula makes it universally usable. The result is wheels that genuinely look clean after the wash — not just on the surface but right into the barrel. Once you've worked with a self-acting iron remover, you won't want to go back to working blind: the formula turning red on the wheel is direct feedback that the cleaner is working, and the fading colour tells you when the process is done. So wheel care stops being guesswork — it turns into a controllable, repeatable routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160878162255,"sku":"D1-SNX-02302090","price":13.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160878195023,"sku":"D1-SNX-02304000","price":15.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57340506538319,"sku":"D1-SNX-02305050","price":57.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Felgen-Reiniger-PLUS-750-ml-7.png?v=1721514380"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-scheibenklar-glasreiniger","title":"XTREME ScheibenKlar Glass Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStreak-free vision on any glass — SONAX XTREME ScheibenKlar in everyday use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes a good car glass cleaner?

Always keep separate microfibre cloths — one for the inside, one for the outside. Spray the cloth, not the glass directly, so you don't overspray onto the dashboard or paint. On the inside, wipe in diagonal passes so any streaks show up straight away and you can go back over them on the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGreasy film and tobacco deposits on glass — the chemistry behind it, and why a household cleaner won't cut it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe greasy film on the inside of car windows comes from a mix of sources: outgassing from plastic and leather parts in the cabin, silicone-based dashboard dressings, tobacco smoke, and skin oils from touching the glass as you get in and out. This invisible film holds organic fats and siloxanes that bond firmly to the glass and can't be shifted by water alone, because grease is hydrophobic and water simply won't pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHousehold glass cleaners are often only half-suited to cleaning car windows. Many of them contain ammonia or other chemicals that can damage painted or leather surfaces if you hold the bottle too close or the product spits onto surfaces that aren't built for those chemicals. On top of that, a lot of all-purpose cleaners leave limescale residue that shows up on the glass as it dries. An automotive glass cleaner like ScheibenKlar is tuned to what a car window actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe season makes a noticeable difference to how much cleaning you need, too. In summer, insect residue and baked-on road spray on the windscreen are the biggest challenge; in winter you add de-icer residue and salt mist that dry on at the bottom edge of the glass and leave a stubborn white film. ScheibenKlar works all year round and handles both scenarios — the formula breaks down organic residue and mineral deposits alike, so you don't need a separate summer and winter product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more critical point concerns cars with tinted windows. Cheap glass cleaners with overly aggressive solvents can damage filmed windows or factory tint by softening the film. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-scheibenklar-glasreiniger\"\u003eSONAX XTREME ScheibenKlar\u003c\/a\u003e is designed to be compatible with automotive glass, tinted windows included. The formula is gentle on window film and tint while still cleaning effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA suitable glass cleaner matters for motorhomes, caravans and boats as well: acrylic and polycarbonate glazing, the kind you find in these vehicles, is more sensitive to solvent-based cleaners than classic toughened glass. For surfaces like that, go for a glass cleaner that's rated as compatible with plastic glazing. If you're not sure whether ScheibenKlar suits a particular glazing type, test it first on a small, out-of-the-way spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it in the car — windscreen, interior cleaning and prep for a glass sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job for ScheibenKlar is cleaning the inside of the windscreen and the side windows. These surfaces collect the most greasy film, since they're the most exposed to outgassing from the cabin. Regular cleaning — at least once a month, or whenever your vision is noticeably affected, is the rule of thumb — keeps the glass clear and cuts down the smearing you get when the washer system spreads fluid across already greasy glass instead of clearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the outside of the windscreen, ScheibenKlar is ideal for getting rid of insect residue, dirt spray and the wiper smears that rubber blades leave on dirty glass. A thorough outside clean of the windscreen makes real sense heading into the winter months, to give de-icers and glass sealants the best possible grip. Clean glass takes a sealant like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-scheibenklar-2-in-1-glasreiniger-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic ScheibenKlar \"2 in 1\"\u003c\/a\u003e far better than a grease-hazed surface ever will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional detailing, ScheibenKlar goes in as the pre-clean step before a glass sealant. Silicone-based glass sealants only bond properly to the glass when no greasy film is blocking the adhesion. A consistent pre-clean with ScheibenKlar makes sure the sealant reaches its full lifespan and the water beading runs evenly across the whole pane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt dealerships and in valeting, glass cleaning is often one of the last and most telling steps before the car is handed back. A spotless windscreen with no greasy smears or streaking tells the customer at a glance that the work was done with care. Skimp on this final detail and you lose that — but get it right and you leave a lasting impression with a tool that genuinely does what it promises: crystal-clear, streak-free glass that reflects the quality of the whole job and stays in the customer's memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnique for a streak-free finish — what really matters in glass cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnique is what decides the result in glass cleaning. Work the glass in two passes. First pass wet — spray ScheibenKlar onto a microfibre cloth, wet the surface evenly and let the cleaner do its work. Second pass dry — buff the glass off with a second, clean microfibre cloth in crossing strokes. This two-stage approach lifts the greasy film on the first pass and clears it completely on the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen is the glass actually clean? A simple field test gives you the answer: look at the glass against the light, or at a shallow angle to the light source. Haze and grease residue show up straight away as a milky cloudiness that's often invisible head-on. Only once the glass looks evenly clear and transparent from every angle is the job done. This backlight check is the most reliable quality test for glass cleaning and is worth making routine at the end of every window clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside of the glass calls for one extra note: on big, steeply raked windscreens, cleaning the inside is awkward by design. A cleaning pad with an angled handle, or an extended reach tool that holds the microfibre cloth, makes the work easier in the corners your normal arm reach struggles with. Even, gentle pressure and deliberately overlapping diagonal strokes give you the most reliable result, and the backlight check shows you straight away and unmistakably whether any patches need going over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA pro tip for the most stubborn kind of greasy film: if a faint haze is still there after two cleaning passes, an extra pass with an IPA-soaked cloth before the ScheibenKlar step can help. IPA cuts through particularly stubborn silicone residue that normal glass cleaners don't fully break down. After the IPA cloth, go over it again as usual with ScheibenKlar — and even years-deep grease comes off as crystal-clear glass with no streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn heavily smeared glass with old, dried-on silicone residue, a second full cleaning pass may be needed. This state often builds up when no suitable glass cleaner has been used for a long time, or when silicone-based dressings like dashboard spray have spat onto the glass. Keep on top of the car regularly with ScheibenKlar and you avoid stubborn deposits forming in the first place, and save yourself those drawn-out multi-pass cleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne spot that often gets overlooked is the rear window with its heating elements. When you clean this glass, always wipe along the heating lines — horizontally — never across them. Too much friction across the lines can damage the bond of the printed-on elements on older or already weakened cars. With a well-soaked, soft microfibre cloth and gentle pressure along the lines, the rear window cleans up without a problem too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePicking the right cloth makes a big difference to the result as well. For glass cleaning, microfibre cloths with a short, smooth pile work best, since they leave no fibres behind and give you an even cleaning surface. Cloths with a long pile, the kind that suit drying off or laying down sealants, are less suited to glass — they leave more fibres on the cleaned surface and force an extra buffing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScheibenKlar vs. Ceramic ScheibenKlar vs. PROFILINE GlassCleaner — choosing the right glass-cleaning solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX glass cleaner range there are several options with different priorities. The XTREME ScheibenKlar is the all-round glass cleaner with no added sealing properties — it cleans reliably and leaves a clean surface that's ready for further care products. It's the right pick when the focus is purely on cleaning, or when a standalone glass sealant is going on next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to build up your glass-cleaning kit step by step and cost-effectively, you can start with ScheibenKlar as the base and add the Ceramic ScheibenKlar later as a handy upgrade for cars that regularly need a glass sealant.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e was built for exactly these cars: a powerful special cleaner that lifts road grime, bug splatter, bird droppings and brake-dust film effectively — without putting any chemical strain on the wrap.

The micro-active surfactants need water as a carrier to bring out the full cleaning effect. Work it in with a very soft wash mitt or a dedicated wrap wash cloth — coarse-textured sponges are wrong for film. With stubborn bug splatter it helps to let the cleaner dwell for a moment (30–60 seconds) before you work it in. After the wash, rinse thoroughly and don't let it dry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMicro-active surfactant technology — how the film cleaner lifts dirt without damaging the wrap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the XTREME Film Cleaner's performance is the choice of surfactant blend. Surfactants are the cleaning-active molecules in detergents and cleaners — they have a water-loving (hydrophilic) and a fat-loving (hydrophobic) end, which lets them lift dirt and grease off the surface and hold it suspended in the water. With film cleaners, though, it's not just about lifting dirt — it's about doing that without damaging the film coating. That's a tougher job than cleaning a clear coat, because film reacts more sensitively to chemistry: solvents can soften wrap adhesive, acids attack matte surfaces and shift their reflectance, and the wrong pH can loosen adhesive seams. The micro-active surfactant blend in the XTREME Film Cleaner is tuned for these demands: the molecular structure is chosen to clean hard without reacting with the film materials themselves. In practice that means no dulling of gloss wraps, no dissolving of adhesive seams and no early lifting at edges and overlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"micro-active\" describes the especially fine distribution of the surfactant molecules in the formulation. Thanks to the small molecule size, the surfactants reach deep into layers of dirt and dissolve even dried-on bug splatter and baked-on bird droppings without any mechanical force. That matters a lot with film: hard rubbing and scrubbing — the kind a clear coat might tolerate — can put fine scratches into film or permanently strain the self-healing effect on PPF. Gentle chemistry replaces mechanical force — that's the principle film cleaning is built on. Another upside of the solvent-free formulation: the product is suited to enclosed spaces and wash setups with limited ventilation, without exceeding VOC limits (volatile organic compounds). For pro detailers working in indoor spaces, that's a relevant factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte paint and matte wraps put special demands on cleaning chemistry. The matte look comes from a micro-structured surface that scatters incoming light diffusely instead of reflecting it. Any chemical compound that alters that micro-structure — by softening, filling or reacting — changes the level of matteness and creates uneven gloss patches. That's why wax-based products and silicon-based sealants are wrong for matte wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner contains no wax-like components and doesn't touch the surface structure — it cleans residue-free without changing the matte character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the XTREME Film Cleaner properly — the ideal wash workflow for wrapped cars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wrapped car needs a different wash workflow than a painted one. The most important ground rule: always start with a pre-wash step that rinses off loose dirt before any cloth or mitt touches the surface. Dry sand, brake dust or coarse dirt particles dragged across the wrap create micro-scratches — especially obvious on matte wraps, and impossible to undo. A pressure washer held 20–30 cm away is ideal for the pre-rinse; a strong hose will also do to loosen loose dirt. Only after that pre-rinse does the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e come into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse during the wash is deliberately simple: turn the nozzle to spray, lay the cleaner on generously over the wet film, let it dwell briefly and work it in evenly with a soft wrap wash cloth or microfibre mitt. The key is to always work flat and with light pressure — no circular motions, no force on stubborn spots. If bug splatter or bird droppings don't soften right away, give it a bit more dwell time rather than more pressure. Once it's worked in, rinse off completely. The product mustn't dry on — on hot surfaces or in direct sun it can leave residue that's hard to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical workflow for a fully wrapped car looks like this: pre-rinse with a pressure washer or strong jet, then pre-wash the roof, boot and sides with XTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo or a wrap-safe shampoo, and in parallel treat the dirtiest areas — front bumper, bonnet, side skirts — directly with the XTREME Film Cleaner. The combination of shampoo for the base clean and the special cleaner for problem spots is especially effective on wrapped cars, because the micro-active surfactant formula cuts through the stubborn organic soiling (bugs, bird droppings) far harder than a regular shampoo. After the wash, for the best finish the car should get a follow-up with a wrap-safe detailer — for example the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foliendetailer-quick-detailer-folieru\"\u003eXTREME Film Detailer Quick Detailer for Wraps\u003c\/a\u003e, which brings gloss and beading to the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works — PPF, vinyl, matte paint and everything in between\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world of wraps is a varied one, and the XTREME Film Cleaner is built for the whole spectrum. PPF (paint protection film) is the most technically demanding wrap variant: these clear protective films have a self-healing polyurethane surface and react sensitively to alcohol- and solvent-based cleaners, which can permanently damage the self-healing effect. The XTREME Film Cleaner's solvent-free formulation is explicitly safe for PPF — it cleans the surface without penetrating the polyurethane structure. Vinyl wraps are the most common material for full wraps and partial graphics. They're tougher than PPF, but still acid- and solvent-sensitive. Extra care is needed with clear and light-coloured vinyl wraps, which show discolouration from the wrong chemistry far more clearly than dark colours. Here too, the XTREME Film Cleaner formulation is built for material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory matte paint is another category that needs special care. Manufacturers like BMW, Porsche and Audi have offered matte paint as a special finish for years — and it's extremely care-intensive. Regular waxes and polishes are off the table, because they change the matte structure. The XTREME Film Cleaner can be used on these factory matte finishes without a second thought, since it's free of wax-like components and doesn't alter the paint's micro-structure. Another use case is partial graphics — cars where only certain areas are wrapped (mirrors, roof rails, spoiler lips, A-pillars). Here the cleaner has to work both on the wrapped area and on the adjacent clear coat without leaving visible transitions. The cleaner's wrap-safe chemistry works fine on clear coat too, which makes partial graphics especially easy to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the trade as well — at wrap shops and detailers — the cleaner is suited to the final clean after a fresh wrap. After a new wrap there are adhesive residues, fingerprints and positioning marks left on the film that need removing. The XTREME Film Cleaner lifts these residues gently, without straining a wrap that's only a few days old and whose adhesive is still fully bonding with the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFilm cleaner compared — special cleaner vs. regular shampoo vs. pro care with a ceramic coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common question when buying a film cleaner: won't a regular car shampoo do the job too? The answer depends on the wrap type and how dirty it is. For moderately soiled wraps with a light dust film and water spots, a pH-neutral shampoo is perfectly fine. But the moment bug splatter, baked-on bird droppings or brake-dust film are on the film, a regular shampoo hits its limits — it simply doesn't have the cleaning power to lift these protein-based and iron-laden deposits. The XTREME Film Cleaner is the far more effective tool in exactly these situations. It lifts where a shampoo only wipes. The alternative — rubbing longer and harder with the shampoo — is a poor option on film, because mechanical strain does more harm than a stronger cleaner. When you have the choice between more chemistry and more mechanics on film, always go for the chemical route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with a universal car-care cleaner reveals another difference: a lot of all-rounders contain wax components, silicones or polymers that bring gloss to painted cars but leave unwanted marks or gloss patches on matte wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner has none of these additives — it cleans residue-free and leaves the sealing to a separate care product you can then pick specifically for the wrap type. After cleaning with the XTREME Film Cleaner you can apply the XTREME Film Detailer on gloss wraps; for pro long-term protection on PPF and vinyl, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-vinyl-ppf-folien\"\u003ePROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Vinyl+PPF Film Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e with up to 24 months of durability is the way to go. This combination — XTREME Film Cleaner for regular cleaning, ceramic coating for long-term protection — is the most professional approach to wrap care and maximises both the finish and the durability of the wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of comparison is the hand wash vs. the automatic car wash. As a rule, wrapped cars should never be cleaned in automatic gantry washes — the brushes can damage film, and the cleaners used there are tuned for clear-coat surfaces, not for wraps. The XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for the manual hand wash and fully replaces the car-wash visit for wrapped cars. Wash your car by hand regularly with the right cleaner and you'll get an optimal result over the long haul and avoid the typical wash damage that happens in automatic setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying advice — who the XTREME Film Cleaner is the first choice for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is the baseline kit for every wrapped car — a must, not a nice-to-have. If you own a wrapped car and wash it with regular car-care products, you risk damage over time that's expensive to fix: lightened matte areas, swollen wrap edges, adhesive residue under the film. A dedicated film cleaner costs a few euros and protects an investment that, depending on the wrap, runs from a few hundred to several thousand euros. The value for money is excellent: a 750 ml bottle lasts for plenty of washes with sparing dosing, since the cleaner is only used concentrated on the dirtiest spots, while a regular wrap-safe shampoo handles the larger areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of cars with PPF, the cleaner is especially important, because wrong care can permanently impair PPF's self-healing properties. PPF wraps quickly cost 3,000 to 6,000 euros or more for a full wrap — a care outlay of 10 euros per cleaner is an absolutely justified investment in protecting that value here. For businesses — wrap shops, car detailers, dealers with a wrapped fleet — the XTREME Film Cleaner is a working tool used daily that quickly proves itself. The simple spray application straight into the wash saves time over multi-stage cleaning processes and delivers consistent results. For the best overall result, it pays to use the film cleaner as part of a complete wrap-care workflow: pre-rinse, XTREME Film Cleaner for problem spots, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for the base clean, drying with a suitable drying towel and finishing care with the XTREME Film Detailer. This workflow keeps a wrapped car in optimal condition for the long term and protects the wrap over its entire lifespan.

Wet wheels dilute the gel by 30 to 50 percent — the dwell time then isn't enough to let the thioglycolate reaction run all the way through. Hot wheels straight after a drive flash the gel dry in seconds, and you end up scrubbing off cleaner residue instead of the brake dust. Wait at least 15 minutes between parking up and cleaning — it's the cheapest quality boost you can hand yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. 3 minutes. A second pass.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle, twist the nozzle open, and lay the cleaner down generously and evenly over the dry, cold wheel from 15 to 20 centimetres away. Start at the bottom and work up, because the gel clings vertically but still runs off after a while, and run marks would flash dry early. Per wheel you're looking at roughly 40 to 60 millilitres — nearer the top end on 17-inch wheels with a complex spoke face, less on plain 15-inch steel wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 60 to 90 seconds the colour change kicks in. Full dwell time sits at 3 minutes, 5 at most — after that the thioglycolate is saturated and won't react any further. A common mix-up day-to-day: leaving the cleaner on for 10 minutes pulls no extra cleaning out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuite the opposite — the gel starts to dry on and leaves cleaner residue that means extra work at the rinse. A short second pass on the still-wet wheel is far more effective than a stretched-out dwell time on the first — that's the single most important hands-on insight, the one the maker doesn't spell out on the back of the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo finish, rinse off with a strong jet of water or the pressure washer, top to bottom, until no reddish film runs off any more. With heavy brake dust on complex spoke patterns, a soft \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/felgenreiniger\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e helps spread the gel between the spokes — not for scrubbing, just to work it in and spread the second coat evenly. In winter, when the ambient temperature drops below 10 °C, stretch the dwell time generously towards the 5-minute mark, because the reaction speed of thioglycolate falls with temperature. Above 25 °C it's the other way round: work quicker and rinse sooner, before the gel dries on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1775901575\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying SONAX FelgenBeast with the colour change on a wheel\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThioglycolate dissolves iron.

The colour change tells you on top of that what kind of dirt you're dealing with: iron particles react reddish-violet, organic soiling like tar, bitumen or oil doesn't shift colour at all. So after three minutes you know whether you've even got the right tool in your hand, or whether you should switch to an APC or a tar remover instead — a diagnostic step no acid-based cleaner gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a second use, the FelgenBeast also works as a fallout remover on paint. After car parks next to railway lines, industrial sites or building works, fine iron particles from brake dust and rail grinding settle on the bonnet, roof and boot — often invisible to the naked eye, but instantly felt as a \"gritty\" drag in the clay bar routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn surfaces like that you spray the FelgenBeast on generously, wait out the colour change and rinse off within 5 minutes. The clear coat stays untouched as long as you don't run past the dwell time and the panel wasn't sitting in direct sun beforehand. In day-to-day Detailing1 work it's the easiest iron decontamination step before a polish, with no extra product on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear limits: baked-on tar and bitumen spots don't react chemically with thioglycolate — for those you need a solvent-based tar remover.

One cleaner for every wheel type means, day-to-day: no mix-up risk, no product swap between two cars, no debate over whether the aggressive alkaline cleaner just left marks on the chrome edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FelgenBeast is less suited, on the other hand, when you only clean your car thoroughly once or twice a year and the brake dust has had several months to bake on. Then even the second pass won't pull it all out, because iron oxide has already worked its way into the wheel pores and needs reworking by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution you pair the FelgenBeast with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etyre dressing\u003c\/a\u003e to finish: decontaminate the wheel chemically first, then dress the tyre. That's the full wheel-and-tyre workflow in two steps and under 15 minutes per car — as long as you stay on it every two weeks and the brake dust never gets the chance to work itself in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn picking the size: the 1-litre spray bottle is the easy way in for a single car and comes fully ready to go with a fit-on nozzle. The 5-litre canister pays off from the second car, or at the latest in day-in day-out commercial use, because the price per litre is noticeably lower and you just decant the gel into an empty spray bottle. Store frost-free between 5 and 30 °C and use up within 24 months of opening — that keeps the colour change reliably active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger_lineup.png?v=1775901588\" alt=\"SONAX FelgenBeast 1L spray bottle and 5L canister Detailing1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":49160889925967,"sku":"D1-SNX-04333000","price":12.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49160889958735,"sku":"D1-SNX-04335000","price":48.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger.png?v=1721575164"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.co\/collections\/reiniger.oembed?page=11","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
