  • System-based car wash care: AUTOMOTIVE — THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie Shampoo

    THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie Shampoo brings you two perfectly matched car shampoos – TropicSnow for a safe pre-wash and MagicShampoo for a slick contact wash with gloss and protection – for low-scratch, efficient washing week in, week out.


    The right shampoo makes or breaks the quality of your wash. With AUTOMOTIVE — THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie Shampoo you get a compact, perfectly matched shampoo line that covers both a safe pre-wash and a proper contact wash. TropicSnow and MagicShampoo dovetail into each other and look after your paint through high slickness, solid surfactant tech and formulas built for everyday use. Whether you wash often, care about gloss or just want to keep swirls to a minimum – these two shampoos are the foundation of any good exterior routine.

    • Two shampoos, one clear system: TropicSnow to lift the dirt and MagicShampoo for care, gloss and protection.
    • Low-scratch wash: loads of foam, strong slickness, clean surfactant performance.
    • Simple, safe workflow: Pre-wash → Contact wash → Protected paint.

    TropicSnow – pH-neutral foam shampoo for a safe pre-wash

    TropicSnow is your starting point for every wash. The pH-neutral formula throws a thick, clinging foam that wraps up dirt particles and lifts them off the paint. That cuts the scratch risk right down before you ever touch the paint by hand. The high foam body wets the surface better and gives you an even sheet that releases dirt in a controlled way. Perfect in the foam lance or as a pre-wash through a pump sprayer. TropicSnow leaves any existing sealant untouched and sets up exactly the clean base MagicShampoo needs to do its thing.

    MagicShampoo – caring gloss shampoo with added protection

    MagicShampoo is the contact shampoo of the range – built to give you a safe, slick hand wash. Its balanced surfactant blend pulls road grime off reliably, while dedicated additives lay down slickness and visible gloss on the surface. At the same time MagicShampoo tops up any existing sealant and props up its beading. Perfect for well-kept daily drivers, regular hand washes and anyone after high-end paint care with no extra hassle. The shampoo film stays put, yet rinses off without residue and dries down evenly.

    Perfect combo – maximum safety, serious gloss

    Run them together and TropicSnow and MagicShampoo give you a complete, safe wash: TropicSnow shifts the heavy dirt, MagicShampoo takes over the controlled, slick contact wash with care and gloss. That order keeps swirls away, stabilises the protective layers on the paint and leaves a finish that feels genuinely smooth and clean. The system suits every paint type, every kind of sealant and every care level – from daily drivers to a well-kept detailer's car.
