The Soft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a specialized glass cleaner with dual-compound technology: a combination of small, hard and large, soft abrasive particles removes even the most stubborn dirt such as oil films, fluorine residues, and old sealant remnants — the perfect preparation for maximum durability of any Glaco glass sealant.\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 preparatory product in the Glaco series — and thus the most important step that most drivers skip. Any glass sealant can only adhere as well as the underlying glass surface is clean. Oil films from road traffic, fluorine residues from old windshield washer fluids, silicone residues, and wiper streaks form an invisible barrier that drastically reduces the durability of even high-quality sealants. The Glass Compound Roll On solves exactly this problem: The unique dual-compound formula with two different particle sizes cleans the glass surface down to the bare surface — mechanically, thoroughly, and without chemical residues. The practical roll-on applicator with a wide felt head makes application as easy as with the Glaco series sealant products: press, distribute, rinse. With 100 ml content, one bottle is sufficient for numerous applications, as only a few milliliters are needed per windshield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-compound technology with two particle sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The combination of small, hard particles and larger, soft particles creates a dual cleaning effect: the hard particles break down stubborn deposits, while the soft particles simultaneously polish the surface smooth.

What's special: Two different types of particles work simultaneously. The small, hard particles (comparable to a very fine polishing paste) mechanically break down contaminants — oil films, fluorine residues from windshield washer fluids, lime deposits, and silicone residues from old sealants. The larger, soft particles simultaneously smooth the surface and prevent the hard particles from leaving micro-scratches. The result is a glass surface that feels noticeably smoother after treatment than before. This smoothness is not just visual — it creates the prerequisite for hydrophobic sealants 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 to form a uniform, seamless protective layer. Without this preparation, sealant molecules adhere unevenly: the sealant adheres to clean areas, but not to contaminated areas — the result is an uneven beading effect and reduced durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect Application of Glaco Glass Compound Roll On — Optimal Glass Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of the Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e begins with a rough pre-cleaning: Rinse the glass with water to remove loose dirt, sand, and dust — otherwise, these particles could cause scratches during the compounding process. Shake the bottle vigorously before use so that the compound particles are evenly distributed. Gently squeeze the bottle to release the compound onto the felt applicator, and guide it in overlapping, straight strokes over the entire glass. Apply moderate pressure — you should feel the particles working on the surface. Treat each area two to three times, especially the wiper areas where oil film and fluorine residues accumulate most heavily. After treatment, rinse the glass thoroughly with clear water and dry it with a clean microfiber cloth. Important: Do not use glass cleaner after compounding — many glass cleaners leave residues that impair the adhesion of the sealant. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the exception here, as it is specially formulated for the Glaco series and leaves no residue that could harm the sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Glass Preparation Makes a Difference — Durability and Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass preparation with the Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most underestimated factor in glass sealing. In our experience at Detailing1, clean basic preparation doubles the lifespan of any sealant. An \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on an unprepared window typically lasts four to six months. The same Ultra Glaco on a window prepared with the Glass Compound easily achieves ten to twelve months. The reason: Without preparation, contaminants lie between the glass and the sealant, acting as weak points — water penetrates there and locally detaches the sealant. With the Compound, the adhesion is uniformly even across the entire surface, and the sealant only slowly thins out due to mechanical abrasion (windshield wipers, car washes), instead of detaching in patches. This difference is particularly noticeable with long-lasting sealants such as 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, specialized glass cleaner with maximum cleaning power: two different particle sizes, high abrasive concentration, no sealant component. Glaco Q is a 2-in-1 product that combines milder compound cleaning with a hydrophobic coating. In practice, this means: for initial treatment or heavily soiled windows, the Glass Compound Roll On is the better choice because it cleans deeper and removes more stubborn dirt. Glaco Q is sufficient for lightly soiled windows and refreshers, but saves the separate sealing step.

While conventional de-icing sprays merely dissolve ice and then offer no further benefit, the Glaco Deicer goes a decisive step further. In addition to the de-icing agent, the formula contains a hydrophobic component from the Glaco series, which deposits as a thin protective layer on the glass surface after the ice has melted. The result: The window freezes much more slowly, and in rain or slush, a noticeable beading effect occurs. With 450 ml in the aerosol can, the Deicer offers enough content for numerous winter mornings, and the adjustable spray nozzle allows both pinpoint de-icing and large-area treatment. Especially important for Glaco users: The Deicer is fully compatible with existing Glaco window sealants and does not attack \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or other Glaco coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDe-ices and seals in one step.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Glaco Deicer melts ice and frost within seconds and simultaneously leaves a hydrophobic protective layer.

The second component consists of hydrophobic silicone compounds from Glaco technology, which deposit as a thin protective layer on the glass surface after the ice has melted. This dual action occurs with a time delay: First, the de-icing agent penetrates the ice layer and dissolves it. Once the surface is clear, the silicone component remains as an invisible film on the glass. This film is thinner than a manually applied sealant such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e, but still offers a measurable hydrophobic effect — especially against refreezing. The 450 ml aerosol can is pressurized and produces a fine, even spray mist that works reliably even at low temperatures — a point where many pump de-icers fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect application of Glaco Deicer — fast de-icing without scraping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of Glaco Deicer\u003c\/strong\u003e is very simple, but a few details make all the difference. First, remove coarse snow from the window — the Deicer is designed for ice and frost, not for thick layers of snow. Shake the can vigorously, hold it about 15 centimeters from the window, and spray evenly over the entire iced surface. For thin frost, one layer is enough — you'll see the ice melt within seconds. For thicker ice, spray a second layer after 30 seconds. Wipe off the melted ice with a clean, dry cloth or simply turn on the windshield wipers. The spray nozzle can be adjusted between a narrow jet and a wide spray fan — use the wide fan for the windshield and the narrow jet for the side windows and exterior mirrors. Important: Do not spray the Deicer on dry, ice-free windows as a pure sealant — products like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-w-jet-scheibenversiegelung-180ml\"\u003eGlaco W-Jet\u003c\/a\u003e are better suited for this. The Deicer is optimized as a winter product for use on icy surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinter protection and beading effect — what the Glaco Deicer delivers in everyday use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebeading effect of the Glaco Deicer\u003c\/strong\u003e is a welcome bonus, but not a substitute for a full-fledged window sealant. The hydrophobic layer that remains after de-icing lasts about one to two days with a single application and noticeably delays refreezing. In comparison: Without treatment, a clean window refreezes within minutes at temperatures below zero degrees. With the Deicer film, it takes significantly longer because moisture can no longer adhere as easily to the smooth, hydrophobic surface. For permanent winter protection, we recommend the combination: a long-term sealant 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-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e as a base, which offers a strong beading effect for months, and the Glaco Deicer as a daily aid for frosty mornings. The basic sealant alone does not prevent icing, but it ensures that ice adheres less firmly to the surface — the Deicer then dissolves this loose ice even faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Deicer vs. conventional de-icing sprays — the Glaco advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional \u003cstrong\u003ede-icing sprays\u003c\/strong\u003e from hardware stores or gas stations dissolve the ice — and that's it. The \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Deicer\u003c\/strong\u003e differs in three key respects: First, the additional hydrophobic protective layer that no normal de-icing spray offers. Second, compatibility with existing window sealants — many conventional de-icers contain aggressive alcohols and solvents that attack and damage hydrophobic coatings. Anyone who applied their \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e in autumn and wants to protect it over the winter should use a compatible de-icer like the Glaco Deicer. Third, aerosol technology: The can works reliably even at minus 20 degrees, while pump spray bottles often freeze or spray weakly at low temperatures. Even compared to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-w-jet-scheibenversiegelung-180ml\"\u003eGlaco W-Jet\u003c\/a\u003e, there is a clear difference: The W-Jet is a pure window sealant without de-icing function; the Deicer is a de-icing agent with a sealing bonus. For winter, you need the Deicer; the W-Jet is the better choice for the rainy months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Glaco Deicer ideal for — purchase recommendation for winter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Deicer\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs in every glove compartment that takes winter seriously. Car drivers without a garage or carport, who struggle with icy windows every morning, particularly benefit — the Deicer saves time-consuming ice scraping and at the same time protects the window from refreezing. For Glaco users, the Deicer is the only sensible choice among de-icing sprays because it does not damage the existing sealant.

Unlike conventional glass cleaners, which only clean and then evaporate, the De Cleaner leaves a thin water-repellent layer on the glass surface.

With 400 ml in the spray bottle, the De Cleaner offers enough content for weeks of regular glass cleaning. The big advantage in the Glaco system: The De Cleaner is designed as an intermediate cleaner that does not attack existing Glaco seals — on the contrary, it gently cleans the sealed surface and complements the beading effect.

The alcohol component is responsible for the actual cleaning: It dissolves greasy dirt such as fingerprints, road film, and insect residues and evaporates without leaving any residue. The resin component remains as a thin film on the glass surface after wiping and forms the water-repellent protective layer. This film is significantly thinner than with a dedicated sealant like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e, but offers a measurable hydrophobic effect above approximately 60 km\/h. The decisive advantage of this formula: The cleaning alcohols are selected so that they do not dissolve existing Glaco sealants. Conventional glass cleaners — especially those with aggressive surfactants or ammonia — can abrade hydrophobic coatings layer by layer. The De Cleaner exclusively cleans the contaminants on the sealant without attacking the sealant itself. This makes it the only glass cleaner in the Glaco system that is explicitly recommended for the care of sealed windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Glaco De Cleaner correctly — exterior and interior windows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e differs depending on the area of use. For the outside of the windshield: Shake the bottle briefly, spray the De Cleaner evenly onto the window from a distance of 15 to 20 centimeters, and spread it with a clean microfiber cloth in straight lines. Then wipe with the dry side of the cloth or a second cloth to avoid streaks. For the inside of the windshield: Spray the De Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth — not directly onto the window, to avoid spray mist on the dashboard and vents. Then wipe the inside of the window in straight, overlapping lines. The inside of the window collects a lot of grease and nicotine film, which significantly impairs visibility in backlight — the De Cleaner reliably removes this film. The same technique works for the side windows. A common mistake: Using too much product. Two to three sprays per half of the window are sufficient — too much product leaves a thicker film that can form streaks when drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading effect and protective action — what the De Cleaner as a glass cleaner achieves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebeading effect of Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pleasant additional benefit, but not a substitute for a full-fledged window sealant. The water-repellent resin layer works at approximately 60 km\/h — when driving on the highway, raindrops run off visibly faster than on an untreated window. In city traffic below 60 km\/h, the effect is less pronounced. The durability of the beading effect is a few days to a week — however, it is renewed with each cleaning. In comparison: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-q-75ml\"\u003eGlaco Q\u003c\/a\u003e as a 2-in-1 product offers a significantly stronger beading effect from 45 km\/h with six to eight weeks of durability. The De Cleaner is primarily a glass cleaner with a bonus sealant, not vice versa. Its main benefit lies in streak-free cleaning while simultaneously protecting existing sealants. On unsealed windows, it at least offers a light basic protection and can serve as a low-threshold entry into the world of glass sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco De Cleaner vs. conventional glass cleaners — the difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e differs from conventional \u003cstrong\u003eglass cleaners\u003c\/strong\u003e from the supermarket in three key respects. First: Conventional glass cleaners only clean — the De Cleaner cleans and seals. Second: Most standard glass cleaners contain surfactants and sometimes ammonia, which attack hydrophobic coatings. Anyone who has treated their car with a Glaco sealant and then uses a conventional glass cleaner will gradually wear down the sealant with each cleaning. The De Cleaner is specially formulated to be gentle on the sealant. Third: Streak-free. The alcohol base of the De Cleaner evaporates without residue, while many standard cleaners leave mineral residues or surfactant films that become visible as streaks in backlight. For drivers who do not use a Glaco sealant, the De Cleaner is still an improvement over standard glass cleaners — the slight water repellency and better streak-free finish are noticeable even without a sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Glaco De Cleaner ideal for — purchase recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs in every car care kit as a standard \u003cstrong\u003eglass cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e. For Glaco users, it is practically indispensable: It is the only glass cleaner that is guaranteed not to attack existing Glaco sealants and even slightly refreshes them.

Working sequence in the engine compartment: allow vehicle to cool, cover intake and electronics, work from bottom to top with 1:10, allow to act for a maximum of three minutes, rinse generously with a soft water jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. For recurring jobs, a foam sprayer is worthwhile — it distributes the 1:10 solution more evenly than any hand pump and extends the adhesion time on vertical surfaces by 40 to 60 seconds.\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 Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner, it's not the bottle that determines the cleaning power, but the mixing ratio. If you don't differentiate, you either clean too weakly or damage the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop floors, dilute 1:5 in warm water, apply with a scrubber or single-disc machine, let it dwell for three minutes, and then pick it up with a wet vacuum. For the lift and engine bay, 1:10 is the safe standard: This concentration reliably dissolves oil without attacking rubber steering boots or wiring harness coverings. For exterior plastics, trim, and heavily soiled wheel arches, 1:20 is sufficient. The 1:50 dilution is intended for recurring maintenance cleaning in customer reception areas or on tiled floors and is no longer really \"APC,\" but rather a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-dissolving power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorkshops almost always make the same mistake with Green Star: too strong a dilution, because \"pure cleans better pure\" is stuck in their heads. In practice, 1:5 on an engine block offers no measurable advantage over 1:10 — except for higher chemical consumption and the risk of overloading corrosion inhibitors on aluminum. The right lever is the dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never increase the concentration if the first attempt is not enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor practical dosing, two workflows work reliably. Variant one: canister directly with a dosing station at the water connection, mixing ratio set via the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Variant two for smaller businesses: Two labeled spray bottles of 500 milliliters, one with the 1:10 solution for the engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both bottles fresh daily — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power within 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly lowers the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister covers approximately 110 liters of working solution with a properly mixed 1:10 solution — that's about 40 engine bay cleanings or 15 workshop floor passes over 100 square meters. For businesses with two lifts and regular detailing, the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum goods become cost-effective from three cleanings per week — purely due to 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 visible pH 12.5\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline.

Insects and bird droppings can also be soaked with the 1:10 dilution before the actual car wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the proteins and turns a hard crust into a removable layer — precisely where pH-neutral products would require mechanical action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Star reaches its limits precisely where its pH becomes a problem. On car paints with ceramic coatings, each use gradually removes the outermost adhesive layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars, a pH-neutral shampoo or Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodized aluminum, matte aluminum, and polished metal surfaces should never be treated neat and always tested first in an inconspicuous area. The corrosion inhibitor reliably protects painted aluminum, but reaches its limits with anodized surfaces. Caution is also advised with non-anodized magnesium rims and race parts — here, the alkaline component attacks the surface as soon as the dwell time exceeds two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vehicle interior, Green Star is simply too strong: synthetic leather, Alcantara, and coated dashboards do not tolerate alkaline concentrates permanently, not even at 1:50.

Your Decision Tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping areas of application — the choice depends not on the price, but on the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop variant: highly alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, designed for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder successor with an optimized surfactant base and lower environmental impact — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, but complements it for detailers who work more frequently on private customer vehicles with coatings and less on commercial vehicle frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" is based on a completely different chemical principle: weakly alkaline to pH-neutral, for interiors, dashboards, carpets, and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the purchasing decision: If the focus is on lifts, engine bays, workshop floors, and commercial vehicle detailing, you should choose the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you primarily detail private customer vehicles with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, insect removal, and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the more suitable purchase. If you are looking for a cleaner for interiors, carpets, and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — in that case, you should choose the Mzr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the combination of 11-kilo Green Star and 1-liter Mzr handles most practical work: Gs for the entire exterior, engine bay, and floor cleaning, Mzr for the interior. Those who have three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — can halve their chemical cabinet with this two-product solution and still work cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct container size depends on the monthly throughput. The 1000-milliliter spray head is intended for home users and initial trials, not for commercial operations. From one vehicle per week with thorough exterior cleaning, the 5-liter canister becomes cost-effective; from three vehicles, the 11-kilo container. 22 and 225 kilos belong in workshops with dosing stations and regular commercial vehicle contracts — for smaller businesses, they represent an unnecessary commitment to a single chemical and are less convenient 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 cleaning solution on black plastic wheel arch of the Ferrari\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":48494630109519,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037","price":6.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":11.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":17.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":27.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-69069","price":54.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":105.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1036.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger.jpg?v=1710769279"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-insect-dirt-remover-insekten-schmutzentferner-750ml","title":"Insect \u0026 Dirt Remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eEasy insect removal for your car with\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Insect \u0026amp; Dirt-Remover Dirt \u0026amp; Insect Remover 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eYou know the problem: insects, oil and stubborn dirt stick to your vehicle and just won't go away.

An acid-free, viscous wheel cleaner from Koch-Chemie's workshop line, which visibly and chemically dissolves brake dust and rust film via a red-violet color change.

The active ingredient, ammonium mercaptoacetate, a salt of thioglycolic acid, reacts with iron(III) compounds in brake dust and dissolves them as a red-violet complex from the rim surface. The color change is not a marketing gimmick but rather a direct chemical reaction: where you see violet, iron is being converted. With a pH value of 5–6, the formulation remains gentle on painted and polished aluminum rims, chrome, and steel. The high viscosity of 50 mPa·s ensures that the product adheres to vertical rim surfaces instead of running off immediately — thus maintaining the full dwell time on the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed-violet color change as a reaction indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e No guessing how long you have to wait.

Warm surfaces cause the gel to dry, leaving residues that you then have to remove with a brush. For heavily soiled rims after months without cleaning, two short applications work better than one long one: the active ingredient is chemically saturated after about 5 minutes. Simply let it sit for 3 minutes twice, rinsing in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold rim. Spray. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the Magic Wheel Cleaner onto the cold, dry rim — evenly covering spokes, rim bed, rim flange, and wheel bolts. Due to its syrupy consistency, the product adheres vertically, without requiring you to change your handling. It's best to work from bottom to top so you don't overlap already wetted areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 to 60 seconds, the color change begins: first in areas with a lot of brake dust, then over the entire surface. Red-violet streaks show you exactly where iron particles are being converted and after 2 to 5 minutes of dwell time, the reaction is complete — waiting longer is pointless because the active ingredient is saturated after about 5 minutes. A common mistake is to leave the product on for 10 minutes hoping for a better effect. The opposite happens: the solution starts to dry and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, rinse off with a strong jet of water from a pressure washer or garden hose, working from top to bottom. For heavy brake dust between narrow spokes, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e can help distribute the dissolved material — but not for scrubbing, only for finishing. If you clean weekly to bi-weekly, one pass is usually sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on dosage: 500 ml is enough for about 10 complete vehicle cleanings. 40 to 50 ml per wheel is sufficient. That's 1.25 Euros per complete application — significantly more economical than the bottle price suggests, if you factor in the time spent scrubbing with less effective cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves iron particles. Not tar.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagic Wheel Cleaner is precisely designed for one task: to chemically dissolve brake dust and rust film. The reaction between ammonium mercaptoacetate and iron(III) ions in brake dust is the active mechanism — anything that is not iron is not affected. This explains the color change as a diagnostic tool: no discoloration means no iron, and no effect in that case is not a product defect, but the correct response to the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary application, Magic Wheel Cleaner also works on paint as a rust film remover — particularly interesting for vehicles parked under industrial exhaust or next to railway tracks. Fine iron particles settle on the clear coat there and react with the MWC formulation just as they do on the rim. Used before polishing, it increases the adhesion of subsequent wax or ceramic sealants because the paint surface is truly contamination-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere MWC is not the right product: Baked-on tar, bitumen stains, and oily contaminants do not react with thioglycolate salts. For these, you need a solvent-based tar remover. For extremely neglected rims with months-old brake dust that has worked its way into the pores, the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-rwc\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e might be the better choice — its acid system is more powerful, but not suitable for all rim materials. The decision is clear: If safety on chrome and polished rims matters, use MWC. If maximum cleaning power is needed and you're working with painted aluminum and steel, use RWC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second case where no wheel cleaner in the world will help: if the rim is already visibly corroded or the clear coat has flaked off. At that point, cleaning is no longer the issue, but paint refurbishment. Magic Wheel Cleaner is a care product — not a restoration agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour standard for regular wheel workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagic Wheel Cleaner is the right choice for anyone who maintains their rims on a regular basis and is looking for a product where they don't have to worry about material compatibility. One product, one work step, all wheels done. That's workshop logic — and that's exactly what MWC is formulated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt particularly shines when you maintain several vehicles with different rim types or work in a fleet. Instead of three cleaners for three rim types, one is enough. It is less effective for extremely baked-on brake dust residues from high-performance braking systems or for rims that haven't been cleaned for months. In both cases, a second application or a more aggressive product is more sensible than extending the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution, Magic Wheel Cleaner works best in combination with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vorreinigung\"\u003epre-cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e like Koch-Chemie Pre-cleaner B, which is applied as a foam to the entire rim before MWC goes into the spokes. Finish with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etire dressing\u003c\/a\u003e on the sidewall — and the complete wheel workflow takes about 15 minutes per vehicle if you keep up with it every two weeks. This is our customers' most common purchase combination: Pre-cleaner B + Magic Wheel Cleaner. A precise, repeatable process that works without scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn direct comparison with the acid-free classic SONAX FelgenBeast, Magic Wheel Cleaner is superior in two respects: the higher viscosity ensures longer contact time on the rim, and the workshop formula is more concentrated for commercial use. However, FelgenBeast has a milder odor — something you might notice if you work in a closed garage. Magic Wheel Cleaner is the workshop standard. FelgenBeast is the garage all-rounder. Both do their job reliably; the question is which one suits your work environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48503670374735,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500","price":12.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":49725159276879,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_2","price":24.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":49725159342415,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_3","price":36.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48503670407503,"sku":"D1-KCX-68809","price":121.91,"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\u003eStreak-free interior cleaning with Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner?

No more preparation is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn larger surfaces such as the dashboard, door panels, or headliner, three to five sprays per component are sufficient. Give the cleaner a moment to dissolve skin oils, fingerprints, and the dust-binding layer, then wipe evenly with the dry side of your cloth. For air vents, buttons, and trim strips, spray onto the cloth first and work into the edges from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the headliner with particular care: only moisten the cloth, never spray directly onto the component. The headliner fabric must not be soaked, otherwise the adhesive underneath will come loose. With ASC, work flat and in long strokes to prevent dry edges between wet and untreated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is too much product and too long an exposure time.

Heavily yellowed plastics at the entry or dried cola splashes in the cup holder also require more power.

Wet surfaces dilute the gel and significantly shorten the contact time — the active ingredient is rinsed off before it can react. At temperatures above 25 °C, briefly spray the surface beforehand, let it dry, and then apply the Rrr. Letting it dry is the most common application error: the gel forms residues that you then have to remove mechanically. It's better to do two short passes of 3 minutes each than one long one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray on, turn violet, rinse off. 3 to 6 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactive Rust Remover is sprayed undiluted onto the surface to be treated and left to act for 3–6 minutes. The violet discoloration begins after about 10 seconds in areas with the highest iron concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen working on rims, proceed from bottom to top so that the gel does not run over already treated areas and uncontrollably prolong the exposure time there. Include spokes, rim bed, and wheel bolts. On paintwork, spray generously and evenly — on the bonnet and roof in strips, not selectively. After the exposure time, rinse with a strong jet of water. The Koch-Chemie spray head dispenses precisely and evenly, without dripping or splashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception: leaving it on for longer than 6 minutes does not provide additional cleaning power. The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate is saturated after this time — it has reacted with all accessible iron(III) ions. If residues are still visible after rinsing, a second pass is more effective than an extended exposure time. In the car care forum, users report that 80% of the contamination is removed during the first pass without a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn areas between the spokes, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003erim brush\u003c\/a\u003e helps to spread the product — not to scrub. The chemical reaction does the work; the brush merely distributes the active ingredient to areas that the spray jet does not reach directly. After rinsing, visually check the cleaning process: if violet streaks are still visible, there is still surface rust there. A third pass is only worthwhile on paintwork — on rims, the remaining amount is usually removed faster mechanically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-rrr_anwendung_web.jpg?v=1776005790\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Rrr rust remover application on rim\" width=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Rrr removes surface rust from paint. Not baked-on brake dust.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactive Rust Remover reliably dissolves fresh to medium-old surface rust — that is its core area. On paintwork after parking next to railway tracks, under industrial exhaust, or on busy roads, the active ingredient reacts with the embedded iron particles and dissolves them from the clear coat without attacking the paint structure. The Rrr also works on glass surfaces: surface rust on the windshield dissolves just as reliably as on paintwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn rims, it removes regular brake dust from standard brake pads in one pass. The color change distinguishes for you: iron particles react violet, while organic contaminants like tar or oil do not discolor — so you immediately see what the Rrr cannot dissolve. For tar spots, you need a separate, solvent-based tar remover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA side effect reported by users in the car care forum: after cleaning, rims show slight beading, the surface temporarily repels water. This is due to the high-performance surfactants (5–15% anionic surfactants according to the safety data sheet) contained, which leave a thin protective layer. This effect does not replace a dedicated rim sealant, but it is a pleasant bonus with regular use every two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Koch-Chemie Reactive Rust Remover reaches its limits: surface rust that has been on the paint for 6+ months without treatment has penetrated deeper into the clear coat. Here, a single pass is rarely sufficient — plan for two to three passes. A customer on TrustedShops complained \"surface rust still present\" — this typically happens with very old surface rust that no chemical cleaner can completely dissolve in one pass. Afterwards, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-rkb-reinigungsknete-mild-blau\"\u003ecleaning clay\u003c\/a\u003e can mechanically remove the last residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor extreme brake dust from sports braking systems or ceramic pads, the acid-based \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger-750ml\"\u003eReactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the stronger choice — however, with the material limitations of an acid cleaner on polished or anodized aluminum. If you need safety on all surfaces, use the Rrr. If you need maximum cleaning power on insensitive, painted rims, use the Reactive Wheel Cleaner. And if you want to treat both surface rust and brake dust on rims, the Rrr is the more universal solution — it can do both, just not the extreme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-rrr_ergebnis_web.jpg?v=1776005796\" alt=\"Violet color reaction of Koch-Chemie Rrr on BMW rim\" width=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour rust removal workflow after railway tracks and industry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactive Rust Remover is the right choice for anyone who regularly deals with surface rust on paintwork — commuters along railway lines, residents in industrial areas, vehicles permanently parked next to tracks or steelworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution, you use the Rrr before the car shampoo: first chemically dissolve surface rust, then the normal wash. This is the most efficient workflow because the Rrr adheres and works best on a dry surface. If your vehicle has a ceramic coating, you can use the Rrr without hesitation — pH 7.5 does not attack any coating. On the contrary: surface rust under a coating is the bigger problem because it settles there and undermines the coating from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fleet use or commercial detailing, Koch-Chemie also offers the Rrr in 5 kg canisters and 11 kg containers. With regular use every 2–4 weeks, the 500 ml bottle is used up after 4–5 vehicles. The 5 kg canister pays for itself from the second month with daily use — provided you have set up a refilling process with spray bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn polished, unsealed aluminum, the active ingredient can cause slight tarnishing — this can be removed with a metal polish, but testing in a hidden area is mandatory. On painted rims, clear coat, and glass, the pH value of 7.5 is harmless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGloves are still mandatory — the ammonium mercaptoacetate in the Rrr is classified as a skin sensitizer (H317) according to the CLP regulation and can cause allergic reactions with repeated skin contact. Eye protection is recommended, as the product can cause severe eye irritation (H319). Those who use Koch-Chemie Reactive Rust Remover every 2–4 weeks keep their surface rust permanently under control and prevent iron particles from penetrating deeper into the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-rrr_lineup_web.jpg?v=1776005801\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Rrr 500ml and 11kg canister on forecourt\" width=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":48484362944847,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650","price":12.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":48618302734671,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650_2","price":24.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":48618302767439,"sku":"D1-KCX-68650_3","price":36.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":48762527285583,"sku":"D1-KCX-359005","price":55.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48484362977615,"sku":"D1-KCX-68664","price":106.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-reactive-rust-remover-flugrostentferner.jpg?v=1710625192"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-felgenreiniger-750ml","title":"\"ReactiveWheelCleaner\" Rim Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003e The must-have for flawless rims is Koch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner 750ml\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e When it comes to car care, clean and shiny rims are the be-all and end-all for a well-maintained vehicle.

Spray directly onto the glass towel, not onto the window, to avoid drips on the dashboard or door panel.

Not tint films.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alcohol content reliably dissolves silicone, grease, wax residues, and light paint mist in one wipe — the main problem area for most interior windows. It also dissolves baked-on insects on the outside of the windshield if pre-soaked with water. This means Glas Star covers both interior and exterior cleaning, which is usually not the case with pure interior glass cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the inside of the rear window, most glass cleaners perform worse because the embedded heating wires act as edges. Glas Star, thanks to the glide aid, moves smoothly over the wires and leaves no streaks there — provided you wipe in one direction with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-pro-glass-towel-230gsm-mikrofaser-glastuch\"\u003eglass-specific microfiber cloth\u003c\/a\u003e, not in circles. A normal all-purpose microfiber cloth with a high GSM (over 400) does not push away the cleaning liquid, but absorbs it, leaving precisely the streaks you want to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Glas Star is not the right product: On the adhesive edges of retrofitted tint films, the high alcohol content can dissolve the adhesive over weeks. Here, dilute at least 1:3 and keep a distance from the edges. On anti-fog coated interior windows (some OEM windshields from 2020), neat Glas Star leaves streaks — test on a 5x5 cm area beforehand. It is unsuitable for matte surfaces, untreated wood, or acrylic glass (convertible rear windows); for these, the significantly milder \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tuga-chemie-tugalin-glas-teufel-glasreiniger\"\u003eTugalin Glas-Teufel\u003c\/a\u003e is available as a ready-to-use alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Daimler approval of the concentrate specifically means: The product has been approved in the manufacturer's material testing laboratory for use on the installed window materials and plastic frames of all current Mercedes models.

Spray bottle for the car.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who maintains more than two vehicles is better off with glass cleaner concentrate than with any spray bottle solution: 10 liters yield 40 liters of spray solution, which, at a consumption of 30 ml per vehicle, corresponds to about 1,300 complete cleanings. Mobile detailers and workshops therefore almost exclusively opt for the 10 or 20-liter variant. Compared to ready-to-use 750 ml spray bottles, you save about 80% of packaging and 60% of costs for the same number of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor private use, the 1-liter bottle usually lasts three to five years. If you mix once and then store the spray bottle frost-free in the garage, your interior cleanings for the next season are prepared. The variant with a spray head set is the beginner-friendly solution — concentrate plus a suitable HDPE spray bottle with a Canyon spray head in one order. This eliminates the hassle of separate procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Detailing1 workflow, Glas Star follows the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/glasreiniger\"\u003ewheel and paint cleaning block\u003c\/a\u003e, otherwise the spray mist of other cleaners will re-soil fresh windows. Inside, the windshield is cleaned last, after the cockpit and dashboard have been dusted with microfiber — otherwise dust particles will land on the still-wet window via the air current and you'll have to start over. Anyone who follows this sequence once will need half the time next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important insider tip for glass cleaner concentrate concerns the inside of the windshield: Keep the ventilation control on \"off\" or \"recirculation.\" If fresh air is on, the fan draws dust from the engine compartment area to the window while you wipe — streaks are then inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional detailers also fold down the sun visors, because an astonishing amount of liquid collects there during spraying. When you're done and drive off, it runs down onto the freshly cleaned window as drops. Neither trick is in any data sheet, but they make the difference between \"okay clean\" and \"delivered as from the workshop.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who regularly works with glass cleaner concentrate will develop their own system after a few months: a fixed spray bottle with a fixed mixture, a dedicated glass towel exclusively for windows (never for the cockpit or paint), and a second towel for drying. This separation prevents silicone oil residues from cockpit care products from transferring to the next window via the towel, leaving behind the notorious crescent-shaped streaks that are almost impossible to remove even with a second cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-glas-star-gla-glasreiniger-konzentrat_lineup.png?v=1776205730\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Glas Star Glass Cleaner Concentrate all sizes 1L 10L and 1L with Canyon spray head Lineup\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":48463561163087,"sku":"D1-KCX-39104","price":6.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48463564079439,"sku":"D1-KCX-68134","price":50.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 liters","offer_id":49602860613967,"sku":"D1-KCX-44020","price":95.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":49602860646735,"sku":"D1-KCX-44200","price":898.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Canyon spray head CHS-3AN","offer_id":49154922414415,"sku":"D1-KCX-39104+CHS-3AN","price":10.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000ml + Canyon Spray Head CHS-3AN + HDPE Cylinder Bottle","offer_id":49154922447183,"sku":"D1-KCX-39104+CHS-3AN+HDPE","price":14.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-glas-star-premium-glasreinigerkonzentrat.jpg?v=1710623027"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-eulex-m-eum-klebstoffentferner","title":"Eulex M \"Eum\" adhesive remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdhesive Remover for Professional Results with \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Eulex M \"Eum\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Eulex M\u003c\/strong\u003e is a powerful \u003cstrong\u003eadhesive remover\u003c\/strong\u003e that effortlessly eliminates even stubborn residues like \u003cstrong\u003eadhesives\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eresins\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoils\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003egrease residues\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Applied dry, the hydrochloric acid reacts too quickly and attacks the surface more severely than necessary. Water as a pre-wetting agent slows down the reaction and distributes the concentrate evenly. Second common mistake: leaving it on for too long. With a pH of -0.2, 30 to 90 seconds are sufficient — after that, the product must be rinsed off thoroughly with high pressure. Drying causes material damage, not \"a little longer for more cleaning\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-wet, dilute 1:5, 60 seconds, rinse off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is not used undiluted. Standard dilution is 1:5 with water, up to 1:2 for extreme contamination, and up to 1:10 for light contamination. 11 kg of concentrate thus yields 33 to 110 kg of application solution — one liter of finished solution costs between 0.72 and 2.40 Euros depending on the dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore application, the rim is thoroughly rinsed with water. This pre-wetting is not optional. It slows down the acid reaction, distributes the concentrate better, and reduces the risk of streaks and localized material damage. Application is done with a low-pressure sprayer or brush from bottom to top, so that run-off marks do not dry. For vertical surfaces like car wash bay tiles, work in 1-meter sections so that the concentrate does not run over already treated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe order in the wheel area is important. First, cover the tire sidewall or apply the dilution precisely — hydrochloric acid can bleach tire markings. Then treat the rim itself, always working in the same rotational position so that no area is overlooked. After rinsing, visually check and only apply a second pass if there is visible residual dirt — this is rarely necessary with correctly dosed initial application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dwell time is 30 to 90 seconds. Upon visible reaction (foaming, discoloration), immediately rework with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e and rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure cleaner. Several short passes are better than one long one — the acid is saturated after a maximum of 2 minutes and only causes damage thereafter. Personal protective equipment is mandatory: acid-resistant gloves, safety glasses, long-sleeved work clothing. Immediately rinse splashes on the skin with plenty of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_anwendung.png?v=1776206205\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Fe Anwendung: Niederdruck-Sprühen auf vorgenässte Felge\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel rim yes. Polished aluminum rim no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is designed for acid-resistant materials. Steel rims, painted aluminum rims with intact clear coat, car wash bay tiles, and commercial vehicles are among them. The cleaning performance on baked-on brake dust from trucks, buses, and construction machinery is unmatched in the industry — no acid-free alternative comes close to its deep effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chemical reaction is clear: hydrochloric acid dissolves iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) from brake dust and converts it into water-soluble iron chloride, which washes away with the rinse water. The same principle applies to limescale (calcium carbonate), cement film after construction work, and boiler scale in car wash bays. Inorganic contamination is dissolved in seconds; organic contamination such as tar, oil, or insect residues is not attacked — for these, solvent-based or surfactant-based cleaners are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe speed advantage is concretely measurable. Acid-free wheel cleaners using thioglycolate require 3 to 5 minutes of dwell time per pass and often two to three passes for baked-on brake dust. The Fe dissolves the same contamination in 30 to 90 seconds in one pass. In a detailing business with ten vehicles per day, this means a time saving of 60 to 90 minutes — calculated as hourly wage, the investment in the large container pays for itself within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Fe immediately causes damage: polished aluminum without paint protection, magnesium, chrome (even slightly attacked), zinc, marble, natural stone, and all anodized surfaces. The pH value of -0.2 practically corresponds to concentrated hydrochloric acid — this is industrial chemistry, not detailing care. Before each initial use on an unknown surface, test an inconspicuous area, at least 5 cm² for 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and visually check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the rims are polished, chrome-plated, or uncoated, opt for the acid-free \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-felgenblitz-saurefrei-fb-felgenreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Felgenblitz \"Fb\"\u003c\/a\u003e — it works with iron-binding agents instead of acid and is material-compatible with all common rim types. If the rims are painted, have little brake dust, and you maintain them regularly, an acid-free cleaner is also sufficient. The Fe is only justified when the brake dust is baked on and acid-free cleaners reach their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-felgenreiniger-extrem-fe-felgenreiniger-sauer_ergebnis.png?v=1776206212\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Fe Ergebnis: saubere Felge mit Wasserperlen\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorkshop, Detailer, Car Wash, and Construction Yard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fe is not an end-customer product. It belongs in the workshop, in the detailing bay, and in the car wash tunnel. If someone uses it privately in their home garage, they are buying 11 kg of concentrate for a task that an acid-free cleaner in a 1-liter format can solve just as well — with significantly less risk to the rim and their own health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical application areas can be clearly defined. Detailers with several vehicles daily need the fast, deep cleaning effect for initial detailing of neglected vehicles. Workshops with tire change services use it during wheel changes — especially in spring after the winter season, when road salt and baked-on brake dust sit together on the steel rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTruck and bus wash facilities use it as a main cleaner against brake dust and road grime. Construction companies clean construction vehicles after use to remove cement and lime residues. Building cleaners use it on workshop tiles, in maintenance halls, and on industrial floor areas when limescale deposits, rust stains, or cement film need to be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the purchasing decision, the question of container size remains. The 11 kg canisters are the right format for workshops with occasional needs and detailers with one to two vehicles per day — at a 1:5 dilution, they are sufficient for about 250 sets of rims. The 22 kg canister is worthwhile for detailing businesses and smaller car washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 225 kg drum with a pump system is the standard size for truck washes, large businesses, and building cleaners with daily use. The price per kg drops by about 12 percent from the 11 kg container to the 225 kg drum — the larger investment pays off with consistent daily demand. If you're unsure which container size fits, start with the 11 kg canister and upgrade as soon as three canisters per quarter are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution, combine the Fe for initial cleaning with the acid-free Felgenblitz \"Fb\" for regular follow-up cleaning — this limits acid use to what truly cannot be removed acid-free. For tire care afterwards, use a regular \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etire care product\u003c\/a\u003e. Store in the original canister, frost-free, separate from food, and separate from alkaline cleaners (risk of reaction).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Koch-Chemie wheel cleaner family, the Fe stands at the top of the acid line. If you need even more cleaning power and want to work with a three-acid mixture, opt for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-triple-acid-star-ta-felgenreiniger\"\u003eTriple Acid Star \"Ta\"\u003c\/a\u003e. If you want to work acid-free and have baked-on brake dust, accept several passes with the Felgenblitz or Reactive Wheel Cleaner.

Always dilute it in the spray bottle first and start with 1:10. If that's sufficient, reduce the dosage to 1:20 next time. The most common mistake in practice: working with too strong a concentration and then getting white spots on dark plastics because the alkalinity attacks the surface structure. Two passes with 1:10 will produce a better and more even result than one pass with 1:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 on the headliner. 1:50 on the door handle.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr works as a concentrate that you dilute individually for each application. This fundamentally distinguishes it from ready-to-use interior cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-multi-interior-cleaner-innenraumreiniger-750ml\"\u003eKoch-Chemie MultiInteriorCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, which come with a fixed, unchangeable concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor headliners with nicotine residue or discolored fabric upholstery, use a 1:5 to 1:10 dilution. Spray the solution evenly, let it work for 1-3 minutes, and then work it in with a soft detailing brush in circular motions. Mzr chemically dissolves the dirt, and the brush transports it out of the fibers. Afterwards, remove the dissolved dirt with a clean microfiber cloth or a wet vacuum cleaner. For headliners, a wet vacuum cleaner is mandatory – too much standing moisture can loosen the textile adhesive and cause the headliner to detach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyday interior cleaning – dashboard, center console, door panels – a dilution of 1:20 to 1:50 is sufficient. At this concentration, Mzr is gentle enough for most hard plastics. The surface becomes clean without leaving a greasy film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfterwards, you can directly apply a plastic dressing – Mzr leaves no residue that would prevent adhesion. This makes it ideal for pre-cleaning before care steps. Nevertheless: On steering wheels with soft-touch coating and rubberized grips, even the weakest dilution is risky. In these cases, it is better to use a pH-neutral cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMzr also demonstrates its versatility outside the vehicle: workshop floors with oil stains, dirty industrial machinery, discolored RV paneling. For outdoor use, dilute 1:5 to 1:10 and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Work it in with a high-pressure cleaner or a brush, then rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA detail that Koch-Chemie doesn't mention on the product page: Mzr leaves a pleasant, subtle scent on cleaned surfaces. Not an artificial air freshener, but significantly less chemical than comparable industrial cleaners. In smoker's cars, this does not cover the nicotine smell – but after cleaning, the interior smells neutral instead of chemical. This may sound like a side effect, but it is relevant in practice if you are preparing vehicles for sale or return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1776198150\" alt=\"Headliner cleaning with diluted Koch-Chemie Mzr from iK Multi TR 1 spray bottle in a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr dissolves nicotine residue. It attacks leather.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic contamination is the core area of Koch-Chemie Mzr: greasy fingerprints, nicotine film, soot, ink stains, and the typical discoloration on light upholstery after two years of everyday use. Here, the alkaline formulation works reliably and in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color change from clean to dirty is immediately visible with Mzr – the microfiber cloth clearly shows what the cleaner has removed from the surface after wiping. Especially impressive on discolored, light fabric upholstery: the first wipe often shows two shades of difference. This is not marketing exaggeration, but the chemical effect of alkaline saponification, which dissolves deep-seated grease contamination that a neutral cleaner cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie deliberately positions Mzr as a multi-purpose cleaner for cars, industry, and building cleaning. The container sizes demonstrate this: in addition to the 1-liter bottle, there are 11 kg, 21 kg, and 225 kg containers. This is a workshop cleaner that also works in vehicle interiors. This origin explains its strength: Mzr is formulated for industrial contamination and brings that power to the vehicle interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Mzr is not the right product: On genuine leather and artificial leather with an open-pore structure, the alkalinity can dry out the surface and leave discoloration. Leather requires a pH-adjusted leather cleaner. On soft-touch plastics and rubberized surfaces such as steering wheels or gear knobs, it leaves dull spots. An alkaline cleaner has no place on painted or foiled surfaces – even diluted to 1:50, the pH value is above 9. If you need a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e without risk for sensitive materials, Koch-Chemie ASC is the safer choice – pre-mixed, pH-neutral, for all surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_ergebnis.png?v=1776196797\" alt=\"Headliner before and after cleaning with Koch-Chemie Mzr – nicotine discoloration on the left, rich black Alcantara on the right\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne canister of Koch-Chemie Mzr. 200 liters of working solution.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr pays off through its yield. 1 liter of concentrate, diluted 1:20, yields 21 liters of ready-to-use solution – enough for 15-20 complete interior cleanings. At €7.67 per liter, you're looking at under €0.50 per vehicle. For those who detail regularly, the 11 kg canister is the choice: at €77.75, that's €7.07 per kilogram and around 200 liters of working solution at a 1:20 dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMzr is aimed at detailers, workshops, and ambitious hobbyists who want a concentrate instead of pre-mixed spray bottles. If you only occasionally clean the interior and don't want to bother with dilution, use the MultiInteriorCleaner as a ready-to-use solution. If you want to dose flexibly – stronger for a smoker's car interior, weaker for weekly maintenance – Mzr is the more economical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor daily work in the workshop, we recommend the Koch-Chemie dispensing tap on the 11 kg canister: dispense concentrate into the spray bottle, fill with water, done. The 1-liter bottle is suitable for mobile use and the detailing box. Store both containers frost-free between 5 and 30 °C; the concentrate lasts 24 months unopened. Use diluted solution within 4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA safety note at the end: Mzr is classified as corrosive (H314) and bears the signal word \"Danger\". Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles when using the concentrate. In the usual working dilution of 1:10 to 1:20, the risk is significantly lower, but prolonged skin contact should still be avoided. The safety data sheet can be downloaded from the product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: Koch-Chemie Mzr is not an everyday cleaner for a quick wipe. It is a tool for detailing where deep cleaning is required – smoker's cars, used car detailing, workshop floors, industrial machinery. Those who have these use cases and are willing to deal with dilution and protective equipment will get a concentrate that is hard to beat at costs under €0.50 per vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_lineup.png?v=1776196804\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Mzr 1 liter bottle and 11 kg canister on paving stones in front of a warehouse with a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":48762462536015,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001","price":7.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000 ml","offer_id":49536037454159,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001_2","price":15.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49536037486927,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001_3","price":22.32,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48762460307791,"sku":"D1-KCX-86011","price":77.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49536024772943,"sku":"D1-KCX-86021","price":143.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49536024805711,"sku":"D1-KCX-86225","price":1505.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger.png?v=1714922290"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-pre-foam-efficient-pfe-vorreiniger-insektenloeser","title":"Pre-Foam efficient \"Pfe\" pre-cleaner \u0026amp; insect remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Pre-Foam efficient \"Pfe\" — Pre-cleaner \u0026amp; Insect Remover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Pre-Foam efficient \"Pfe\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a highly effective, phosphate-free and strongly alkaline \u003cstrong\u003epre-cleaner and insect remover\u003c\/strong\u003e, specially developed for the pre-wash of cars and trucks.

Not suitable for rubber, EPDM seals, soft plastic add-on parts, and freshly sealed paint surfaces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Tar and Bitumen Remover A\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solvent-based tar and bitumen remover with Daimler approval, which dissolves stubborn road residues on solvent-resistant surfaces without mechanically stressing the paint. The active ingredient – a mixture of C10–C13 n-alkanes, isoalkanes and cycloalkanes with less than 2 percent aromatics – chemically dissolves the molecular chains of bitumen and tar. The residues run off in streaks and can be steamed off with a high-pressure cleaner or wiped off with a microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree from halogenated hydrocarbons and thus significantly more material-compatible than many classic tar removers from workshop canisters of the 90s. Available in 1 liter, 10 liter, and 20 liter – plus a 2-pack and 3-pack for multiple needs. In addition to the alkane mixture, the formulation contains a proportion of 2-butoxyethanol as a solvent, which improves wetting on smooth paint surfaces and keeps the product working even at cooler workshop temperatures. For use in enclosed spaces, ventilation with more than 3 air changes per hour is recommended, and eye protection is mandatory for overhead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical instead of mechanical.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tar cannot be polished – scrubbing drags the particles across the paint and leaves swirls. Tar and Bitumen Remover A softens bituminous residues within 30 to 180 seconds to such an extent that they run off or are absorbed by a cloth in one go. You no longer need to use a brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaimler approval for workshop use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Koch-Chemie works closely with the automotive industry. Daimler approval is not a marketing label – it means that the product has been officially approved for use on Daimler paints and underbody materials. A pragmatic argument for workshops with manufacturer ties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree from halogenated hydrocarbons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Older tar removers often rely on trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene – both are highly odorous, health-relevant, and hardly approved for workshop use anymore. Tar and Bitumen Remover A works with a modern hydrocarbon mixture that can be used in well-ventilated rooms at temperatures of around 15 °C or above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tar and Bitumen Remover A not only dissolves tar – it also dissolves the wax or sealant underneath. This is the point that manufacturers and competitors rarely mention. If you do nothing after tar removal, you will have unprotected paint that will be affected by rust film and water spots without a barrier. Therefore, always plan its use as the first step in a combined treatment: Tar wash → normal wash with pH-neutral shampoo → re-seal with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-speedprotect-spruhversiegelung\"\u003espray sealant\u003c\/a\u003e or wax. For spot application (individual tar splashes on the sill), a quick detailer is sufficient as local protection. For a complete exterior treatment including re-sealing, allow about 45 minutes for a mid-range car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray on neat. Let it dwell briefly. Steam off.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is intentionally kept simple. Apply Tar and Bitumen Remover A undiluted to the dry, cold surface – either directly from the 1-liter bottle with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-teerwaesche-a-tea-bitumen-teerentferner?variant=54013040492879\"\u003eCanyon spray head CHS-3AN\u003c\/a\u003e or from a robust workshop spray bottle. A wet surface dilutes the solvent and significantly reduces the cleaning effect – when washing, apply the tar remover first, then the shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dwell time is 30 seconds to 3 minutes – depending on the thickness of the tar coating. You'll see when the product is working: the tar dissolves into brownish-black streaks and runs off vertical surfaces. As soon as this happens, rinse immediately with a strong stream of water or wipe off with a clean microfiber cloth. One 1000 ml bottle is sufficient for about 4 to 6 complete vehicle sides with moderate tar contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not let it dry on larger areas – in direct sunlight or on hot paint above 25 °C, the solvent evaporates too quickly and leaves an oily film that only disappears with subsequent washing. For underbody or wheel arch treatment on commercial vehicles, the 10 or 20-liter version is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere, it is applied over a large area with a pressure sprayer and then steamed off with a high-pressure cleaner at approximately 120 bar. For stubborn, dried-on bitumen stains after a construction site drive, a second application helps more than a longer dwell time during the first pass – the solvent is saturated after about 3 minutes and will not work further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves tar. And wax, too.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTar and Bitumen Remover A attacks every organic coating on the paint. This is its operating principle – and at the same time its only drawback for users who apply it without prior planning. Carnauba waxes, polymer-based synthetic sealants, and most quick detailers dissolve on contact with the hydrocarbon mixture. This is not a product defect, but chemistry: what dissolves bitumen also dissolves wax, because both are based on similar organic molecular structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this means two things. First: every tar removal is followed by a complete paint wash with pH-neutral shampoo to neutralize solvent residues. Second: the treated area needs a new protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're only treating small splashes on the side sill, you can follow up with a spot wax or detailer. If you're cleaning entire panels or the underbody, plan for re-sealing as an integral part of the workflow. Ceramic coatings based on SiO₂ are usually not completely damaged after a tar removal treatment, but their hydrophobicity is noticeably reduced – a topper or detailer brings them back up to par.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTar and Bitumen Remover A is not suitable for unpainted soft plastics, rubber seals, and EPDM profiles. The solvent swells rubber with prolonged contact and can dull plastics. This particularly affects window seals, door rubbers, and black plastic add-on parts on older vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not spray extensively on these surfaces – if overspray occurs, rinse with water within 60 seconds. On fresh wraps and PPF (paint protection film), test in an inconspicuous area beforehand. Many PPF coatings tolerate short contact times under 30 seconds but are sensitive to prolonged exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen Tar Remover is suitable and when it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTar and Bitumen Remover A is the right choice when real road tar, bitumen splashes after driving through a construction site, asphalt residues on wheel arches, or dried oil films in the underbody area need to be dissolved. It is also designed for regular cleaning of car wash brushes and workshop floors – where true chemical dissolving power is required rather than paint cosmetics. In the spring season after winter, it is standard for underbody preparation when tar-salt mixtures have accumulated over months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, it is not the first choice for insect residues. Insect proteins are organic, but structured differently – for this, enzymatic cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003einsect remover\u003c\/a\u003e work more precisely and are more paint-friendly. If you have both – tar on the sill, insects on the front – treat both areas separately with the appropriate product. Trying to solve everything with an all-rounder usually results in more rework. The same applies to tree resin and adhesive residues: both dissolve with the tar remover, but a specialized tree resin remover works more cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor private users and occasional detailers who plan one application per vehicle, the 1-liter bottle is recommended. The 2-pack and 3-pack reduce the price per liter by about 5 to 15 percent – useful if there are several vehicles in the household or if the supply for the season needs to be secured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10- and 20-liter canisters are workshop containers for detailing, underbody cleaning, or fleet operations – here, the purchase is only worthwhile for regular weekly consumption. For precise spot application, the 1-liter bottle with a Canyon spray head remains the most ergonomic solution. The spray head delivers a precise cone instead of a mist and targets the problem area without unnecessarily wetting a larger surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTar and Bitumen Remover A should be stored at room temperature, protected from frost. The bottle remains stable for about 24 months after opening, as long as the cap is tightly closed after use – otherwise, hydrocarbon solvents slowly evaporate, and the concentration decreases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-guide\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eApplication Instructions for Koch-Chemie Tar and Bitumen Remover A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003col\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Park the vehicle in the shade, paint temperature below 25 °C.

At paint temperatures above 30 degrees, the cleaner dries before the exposure time is reached — this leaves dull streaks that can only be removed with polish. Before application, place the vehicle in the shade or pre-wash with cold water. In direct summer sun, it's better to use the milder Pre-Foam efficient, which is significantly more tolerant with a maximum exposure time of 1 minute.\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\u003eThe dosage depends on the degree of contamination and the type of application. 1:30 to 1:50 for pre-wash, 1:3 to 1:10 for heavily soiled rims, 1:300 for self-service high-pressure systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor touchless pre-washing with a foam lance, you work with 1:30 to 1:50. One liter of concentrate at 1:50 yields 51 liters of ready-to-use solution — enough for about 20 to 25 passenger cars in normal exterior care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam lance should operate with a flow rate of 0.8 to 1.2 liters per minute so that the foam consistency is correct and the cleaner adheres to vertical surfaces long enough to work. The pre-cleaner is applied from bottom to top to the cold, moistened vehicle — this prevents run marks on unevenly dried surfaces. After a maximum of 5 minutes exposure time (VDA Class A), rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn self-service car washes, 1:300 is sufficient — this is the large-volume consumer dosage and significantly reduces product consumption over the year. For rim cleaning, you work with 1:3 to 1:10, sprayed directly onto the cold, dry rim, allowed to act for a maximum of 1 minute, then rinsed. Important: do not use on hot brake discs or warm rims. Heat accelerates the reaction uncontrollably and increases the risk of matting on painted aluminum rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor car washes with tunnel systems, you typically work at 1:100 to 1:200. The exposure time in the tunnel is usually 30 to 60 seconds, which safely adheres to the VDA-B limit of 1 minute. The higher dilution reduces foam volume at the spray arch but maintains sufficient cleaning power due to the high active ingredient concentration. For high vehicle throughput, switching to the 225 kg container is worthwhile — a price advantage per liter of concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor copolymer dewaxing — i.e., removing old preservatives before a new sealant — 1:5 to 1:10 is the correct dilution.

No snow foam replacement.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch 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 application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strength lies in heavily soiled vehicles with insect, bird dropping, and environmental residues after a long highway drive or after winter. It also works reliably on stubborn brake dust on steel rims and alkali-resistant painted aluminum rims. The foaming is functional — not an optical show foam like with classic snow foam products, but a working foam that adheres to vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest assessment of its limitations. First, Vorreiniger B is not friendly to active ceramic coatings. With regular use on coating-protected vehicles, it degrades the coating faster than a pH-neutral pre-wash foam. For vehicles with an active sealant, the milder Pre-Foam efficient is the better choice. Second, do not use it on polished aluminum or chrome surfaces — despite corrosion inhibitors, pH 13.1 can dull untreated light metals. The inhibitors protect anodized aluminum, not open aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird: It is not paint-surface friendly in the sense of hand wash chemicals. If you maintain your new car with the two-bucket method and mild car shampoo, you don't need Vorreiniger B in the garage. Its area of application begins where hand washing is no longer sufficient — with heavily soiled vehicles, commercial fleets, utility vehicles, and construction machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtective equipment is mandatory, not optional. Nitrile gloves and safety glasses when preparing and applying. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and remove residues with mild soap. Never leave the concentrate bottle open — the vapors of the alkaline cleaner irritate respiratory tracts and mucous membranes with prolonged exposure. Close tightly after use, store frost-free and dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material compatibility of Vorreiniger B has clear limits. Steel, anodized aluminum, alkali-resistant painted surfaces, glass, and standard vehicle plastics are permitted. Polished light metals, open chrome surfaces, colored anodized layers (risk of discoloration), and matte painted surfaces without a protective film are not permitted. If in doubt, test on an inconspicuous area before the first application and observe for 3 minutes — this costs little time and prevents 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 Werkstatt-Alkaliner pH 13,1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:1.5em 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget group Vorreiniger B from professionals to private garages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch Chemie Vorreiniger B is designed for professionals and experienced private users with know-how in alkaline chemistry.

When preparing the dosage for the first time, work with a calibrated measuring cup — with the eyeball method, most beginners end up with a much too concentrated solution, which unnecessarily increases material stress and promotes streaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a mild, coating-compatible pre-wash foam, Pre-Foam efficient is a better choice. If you supply express car washes with extremely short exposure times, use Pre-Wash B.

The self-activating wheel cleaner with an active indicator loosens baked-on brake dust, oil, and rubber residues on all wheel types — material-friendly, TPMS-compatible, and formulated with a skin-neutral pH.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who regularly cleans wheels knows: brake dust burns into the wheel surface when hot and is almost impossible to remove with normal car shampoo. The result is dull grey-brown wheels that look dirty even after washing. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed precisely for this purpose — a powerful special cleaner with a self-activating cleaning formula that chemically dissolves baked-on brake dust, oil and rubber residues, and road grime without damaging the wheel surface. The integrated active indicator turns reddish as soon as the cleaner comes into contact with the dirt — visibly showing when and where it is working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-activating cleaning with a visual active indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e The reddish color change is more than just a visual effect — it signals the active cleaning process and shows you exactly where brake dust and iron particles are still present. As long as the discoloration is still intense, the cleaner is working. This gives you clear control over the application time and prevents you from rinsing too early.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all common wheel types.\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel, alloy, painted, chrome-plated, polished, powder-coated or matte — the Wheel Cleaner PLUS does not attack any of these surfaces. Wheel bolts and valves are also not affected by the pH-skin-neutral formula. This makes it an all-rounder that can be used for any vehicle type and wheel style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTPMS-compatible and material-friendly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) have sensors on the valves that can be damaged by aggressive cleaners. The special formulation of Wheel Cleaner PLUS is explicitly approved for TPMS systems — an important detail for all newer vehicles that many competing products cannot offer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always spray Wheel Cleaner PLUS onto cooled wheels — never onto hot wheels directly after driving. Hot surfaces will cause the product to dry immediately, the active indicator cannot develop, and cleaning performance will be significantly reduced. After switching off the vehicle, wait at least 10–15 minutes before starting. For heavily soiled wheels with baked-on brake dust: Spray generously, wait 5 minutes, and then assist the effect with a soft wheel brush — this will also loosen residues from deeper spoke areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-activating cleaning with an active indicator — how XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is its self-activating cleaning formula with optimized adhesion. Unlike a simple cleaning surfactant in an aqueous solution — which would run off the rim before it could act — the Wheel Cleaner PLUS formula adheres to vertical and curved rim surfaces. This optimized adhesion gives the product the necessary contact time to chemically act on baked-on brake dust and metal oxide particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color indicator is the visible sign of this reaction. Iron particles — the main component of brake dust — react with specific active substances in the formula, producing a reddish-violet dye. This is not an artificial coloring, but a genuine chemical reaction: the more intense the red discoloration, the more brake dust is present. When the discoloration fades, the majority of the iron particles are bound and dissolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH-skin-neutral formulation is not a marketing detail, but a safety statement: The cleaner works in the neutral pH range, meaning it does not attack aluminum or steel alloys. Galvanized steel elements such as wheel bolts and valves also remain unaffected. With more alkaline or acidic cleaners, there is a risk of clouding or corrosion on wheel bolts and decorative parts — with Wheel Cleaner PLUS, this risk is eliminated by the formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important note on application temperature: pH-neutral iron removers work most effectively at room temperature. Very cold wheels (below 5 degrees Celsius) noticeably slow down the reaction speed — in freezing conditions, the application time can be extended to 8-10 minutes to achieve comparable results. In extreme cold, briefly pre-warming the wheel with lukewarm water from the hose is helpful, bringing the surface to operating temperature without overheating the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimized adhesion of the formula is particularly relevant for vehicles with deep-dish sports wheels. Brake dust and oil residues preferentially accumulate on the back of the spokes and in the wheel well — areas that are difficult to reach with a normal water jet and would immediately drain away if a liquid cleaner without adhesive properties were used. The Wheel Cleaner PLUS adheres to these vertical and inverted surfaces, giving the active ingredient the necessary time to penetrate the residue even there. This makes a real difference for vehicles with deep-dish sports wheels, where cleaning the inner wheel areas is otherwise particularly arduous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrectly apply Wheel Cleaner PLUS — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication begins before the actual spraying: Shake the bottle briefly and turn the spray nozzle to the spray position. For unknown or repainted wheels, first check material compatibility in an inconspicuous area — repainted wheels with freshly applied clear coat may react sensitively to the cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the cooled wheels evenly and generously from a short distance (15–20 cm). Important: Apply generously so that the entire wheel surface is wetted, including the back of the spokes and the wheel well. Allow the cleaner to act for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination. Observe the color reaction — on heavily soiled wheels, the reddish discoloration will be clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn baked-on brake dust, mechanical assistance with a soft wheel brush is recommended. The brush distributes the cleaner evenly into depressions and loosens residues that cannot be completely removed purely chemically. Wear suitable protective gloves — the product can cause skin irritation with prolonged skin contact. Then rinse thoroughly with a strong jet of water or a high-pressure cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is allowing the cleaner to dry: if the application time is too long or the sun shines directly on the wet wheel, the cleaner can dry and leave white residues. While these can be removed with water, it's unnecessary extra effort. Therefore, work in the shade if possible and do not exceed the recommended application time of 5 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother practical tip for optimal results: Always treat all four wheels sequentially in a cycle — spray wheel 1, then wheel 2, then 3, then 4 — and then start rinsing with wheel 1. This way, each wheel gets the full application time of 3-5 minutes without you having to wait. This saves time and ensures consistent results on all wheels. For very heavily soiled wheels, a second application may be necessary — in this case, rinse the wheel, spray again, and let it work for another 3 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrake dust, rubber, oil — what PLUS removes from all rim types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrake dust is the most common and stubborn wheel contaminant. It originates from metal particles of the brake disc and brake pad during braking and is heated by the brake hydraulics. At temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius, it literally bakes onto the wheel surface. Normal surfactant-based shampoos cannot dissolve these baked-on oxide particles — a special cleaner with an iron-reducing component like Wheel Cleaner PLUS is needed for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the cleaner dissolves oil and rubber residues that accumulate from tire abrasion on the inner wheel flange. These residues are tougher than brake dust and adhere particularly stubbornly to polished or high-gloss wheels. The self-activating cleaning formula penetrates these residues and emulsifies them, so they are completely removed during rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor painted and powder-coated wheels, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is a safe choice. The pH-neutral formula does not attack clear coats or powder coatings — a decisive advantage over acidic wheel cleaners, which are designed for uncoated aluminum wheels and can cause damage to painted surfaces. Chrome-plated wheels also benefit from the gentle formula — chrome is sensitive to acids but remains undamaged by the pH-neutral treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatte wheels are a special category where many wheel cleaners fail: overly aggressive products alter the matte surface through chemical reactions or leave shiny spots. The Wheel Cleaner PLUS is also explicitly approved for matte wheel surfaces — the gentle formula cleans without affecting the matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor steel wheels, commonly found on winter tires, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is also the right choice. In winter, steel wheels accumulate a particularly large amount of contaminants from road salt and wet roads, which adhere stubbornly in spring. The combination of iron reaction and surfactant formula removes both rust film and salt and grease deposits in a single cleaning step — ideal for the spring check of winter wheels before storage or switching to summer tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel cleaner comparison — PLUS, FelgenBeast, and PROFILINE Red Max\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX range, there are several wheel cleaners that differ in aggressiveness, formulation, and application area. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eFelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e is also acid-free and works with color-change technology. It is explicitly designed for all wheel types, including painted wheels, and is highly recognized as a direct counterpart to Wheel Cleaner PLUS. The difference lies in the details: FelgenBeast is optimized for regular cleaning of moderate soiling, while Wheel Cleaner PLUS, with its self-activating adhesive formula, is particularly effective against more heavily baked-on brake dust and adheres longer to the surface. Those who clean at short intervals and never let brake dust accumulate too much will be well served by FelgenBeast. Those who wait longer between cleanings or drive a vehicle with sportier brakes will consider PLUS the more powerful choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional users with extremely dirty wheels or vehicles in preparation, there is SONAX's PROFILINE series with higher cleaning intensity. PROFILINE products are formulated for professional use, but also require more caution during application and are not suitable for all wheel types. Wheel Cleaner PLUS, as an XTREME product, offers the private user the right balance of performance and safety — strong enough for stubborn brake dust, safe enough for all common wheel surfaces without special precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, a protective product is recommended: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-felgenschutzversiegelung-felgen-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Wheel Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e forms a hydrophobic protective barrier on the wheel surface after cleaning, which makes brake dust and dirt adhere less well during subsequent accumulation. Those who seal their wheels after every thorough cleaning significantly reduce the cleaning frequency and considerably extend the time until the next intensive wheel care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying wheel cleaner — who benefits from XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right product for vehicle owners who want to clean their wheels regularly and thoroughly — with a product that doesn't give up even on heavily baked-on brake dust. It is particularly suitable for vehicles with sporty brakes that generate higher amounts of brake dust, or for vehicles with longer cleaning intervals where brake dust has accumulated over several weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of vehicles with TPMS systems, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is the safe choice: The explicit approval for TPMS valves removes the uncertainty of whether the cleaner could damage the pressure sensors. Especially for newer vehicles, where almost all variants come with TPMS, this is an important purchasing criterion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sensible care workflow for wheels: Wheel Cleaner PLUS for basic cleaning of heavy brake dust, followed by XTREME Wheel Sealant for long-lasting protection and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-reifen-felgendetailer-quick-detailer\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Tire+Wheel Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e for a quick refresh between full washes. This combination keeps wheels permanently clean and well protected with minimal effort. The clever thing about it: if you seal the wheels after basic cleaning, you need significantly less Wheel Cleaner PLUS for the next cleaning interval, because the protective layer reduces the accumulation of brake dust. So the system pays off not only visually, but also economically — less product consumption with the same or better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWheel Cleaner PLUS is available in 500 ml and 750 ml spray bottles. The 500 ml bottle is sufficient for numerous cleaning cycles for a normal car — those who maintain several vehicles or clean frequently will find the 750 ml bottle more economical. Both sizes offer the same cleaner and the same performance, just in different container sizes. For average private use, the 500 ml bottle is the more practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of effort, Wheel Cleaner PLUS is one of the most time-saving methods for wheel care. Spray, let it soak in, rinse — without scrubbing, without multiple applications, without re-polishing. This makes it particularly attractive for vehicle owners who want to integrate care into their regular washing weekends without investing a lot of extra effort. In 15–20 minutes, all four wheels of a car are cleaned and ready for subsequent sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: SONAX XTREME Wheel Cleaner PLUS is a solid choice for anyone who wants to clean their wheels thoroughly and gently — without compromising on aggressiveness, but without risk to sensitive wheel surfaces. The active indicator makes the effect visible, the TPMS approval makes it safe for modern vehicles, and the pH-neutral formula makes it universally applicable. The result is wheels that look truly clean after cleaning — not just superficially, but down to the wheel bed. Anyone who has worked with a self-activating iron remover will not want to do without the visible active indicator reaction: the reddening of the formula on the wheel is direct feedback that the cleaner is working, and the fading discoloration indicates when the process is complete. Thus, wheel care is never a mystery — it becomes a controllable, reproducible routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160878162255,"sku":"D1-SNX-02302090","price":12.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49160878195023,"sku":"D1-SNX-02304000","price":14.51,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57340506538319,"sku":"D1-SNX-02305050","price":54.11,"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 View on Every Glass — SONAX XTREME ScheibenKlar in Practical Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes a good car glass cleaner?

Always use separate microfiber cloths — one for the interior window, one for the exterior window. Spray the cloth, not the window directly, to avoid overspray on the dashboard or paint. On the interior window, wipe in diagonal strokes so that streaks are immediately visible and can be corrected directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrease Film and Tobacco Deposits on Windows — Chemical Causes and Why a Normal Household Cleaner Is Not Enough\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grease film on vehicle interior windows is caused by a combination of several sources: outgassing from plastic and leather parts in the vehicle interior, silicone-containing care products from dashboard care, tobacco smoke, and body oils from touching the window when getting in and out. This invisible film contains organic fats and siloxanes, which adhere firmly to the glass and cannot be dissolved by water alone, as fat is hydrophobic and not absorbed by water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHousehold glass cleaners are often only conditionally suitable for cleaning car windows. They frequently contain ammonia or other chemicals that can damage painted or leather surfaces if the spray bottle is held too close or if the product splashes onto surfaces not suitable for these chemicals. Furthermore, many universal cleaners leave limescale residues that become visible on the window when drying. An automotive glass cleaner like ScheibenKlar is tailored to the specific needs of vehicle windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe season also noticeably influences cleaning requirements. In summer, insect residues and dried road splashes on the windshield are the biggest challenge; in winter, de-icing agent residues and salt mist are added, which dry on the lower edge of the window and form a stubborn white film. ScheibenKlar can be used all year round and is suitable for both scenarios — the formulation effectively dissolves both organic residues and mineral deposits, without the need for a special seasonal product for summer and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother critical point concerns vehicles with window tinting. Cheap glass cleaners with overly aggressive solvents can damage foiled windows or factory tinting by dissolving the film. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-scheibenklar-glasreiniger\"\u003eSONAX XTREME ScheibenKlar\u003c\/a\u003e is designed for compatibility with vehicle glass, including tinted windows. The formulation is gentle on window films and tints while providing effective cleaning performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA suitable glass cleaner is also important for motorhomes, caravans, and boats: Plexiglas windows and Makrolon glazing, as found in these vehicles, are more sensitive to solvent-based cleaners than conventional hard glass. For such surfaces, a glass cleaner designed for compatibility with plastic glazing is recommended. If unsure whether ScheibenKlar is suitable for a specific window technology, it should be tested beforehand on a small, inconspicuous area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application in the Vehicle — Windshield, Interior Cleaning, and Preparation for Glass Sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main application area of ScheibenKlar is the interior cleaning of the windshield and side windows. These surfaces accumulate the most grease film, as they are most exposed to outgassing from the interior. Regular cleaning — recommended at least once a month or when visibility is visibly impaired — keeps the windows clear and minimizes streaking from the windshield washer system, which spreads wash water on already greasy glass instead of removing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the outside of the windshield, ScheibenKlar is ideal for removing insect residues, dirt splashes, and wipe marks caused by rubber wipers on dirty glass. Especially before winter months, a thorough exterior cleaning of the windshield is useful to ensure optimal adhesion of de-icing agents and glass sealants. Clean glass absorbs glass sealants such as \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-scheibenklar-2-in-1-glasreiniger-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic ScheibenKlar \"2 in 1\"\u003c\/a\u003e significantly better than greasy glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional detailing, ScheibenKlar is used as a pre-cleaning step before applying glass sealants. Silicone-based glass sealants only bond optimally to the window if no grease film blocks the adhesion of the sealant formula. Consistent pre-cleaning with ScheibenKlar ensures that the sealant achieves its full durability and that the water beading effect works evenly across the entire window surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn car dealerships and during vehicle detailing, window cleaning is often one of the last and most crucial steps before vehicle handover. A flawlessly clean windshield without grease streaks or streaking signals professional work and care to the customer at first glance. Those who do not cut corners on this last detail leave a lasting impression with a tool that truly delivers what it promises: crystal-clear, streak-free windows that reflect the quality of the entire vehicle detailing and remain in the customer's memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Technique for Streak-Free Results — What Matters in Glass Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique of glass cleaning determines the result. First, treat the window in two passes: First pass wet — spray ScheibenKlar onto a microfiber cloth and evenly moisten the surface, allowing the cleaner to work. Second pass dry — with a second, clean microfiber cloth, polish the window in criss-cross movements. This two-step approach dissolves the grease film in the first pass and completely removes it in the second pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen is the window truly clean? A simple practical test provides the answer: View the window against the light or at a shallow angle to the light source. Haziness and grease residues immediately show up as a milky turbidity, which is often invisible when viewed head-on. Only when the window appears uniformly clear and transparent from all angles is the cleaning complete. This backlight check is the safest quality test for glass cleaning and should be part of the routine at the end of every window cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the interior window, a special note applies: On large windshields with a strong incline, interior cleaning is made more difficult by the design. A cleaning pad with a bent handle or an extended swivel holder for the microfiber cloth facilitates work in angles that are difficult to reach with a normal wiping arm. Even, gentle pressure and consciously overlapping wiping strokes in a diagonal direction provide the reliably best results and immediately and clearly show, through the backlight check, whether individual areas need to be reworked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA professional tip for the most stubborn form of grease film: If a slight haze still shows after two cleaning passes, an additional pass with a cloth soaked in IPA before applying ScheibenKlar can help. IPA dissolves particularly stubborn silicone residues that are not completely dissolved by normal glass cleaners. After the IPA cloth, then rework regularly with ScheibenKlar — the result will be crystal-clear glass without streaks, even with years of grease build-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavily soiled glass with old, dried-on silicone residues, a second complete cleaning pass may be necessary. This condition often arises when no suitable glass cleaner has been used for a long time or when silicone-containing care products such as dashboard spray have splashed onto the window. Those who regularly care for their vehicle with ScheibenKlar avoid the formation of stubborn deposits and save themselves elaborate multiple cleanings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently overlooked area is the rear window with heating filaments. When cleaning this window, always wipe along the heating filaments — i.e., horizontally — never across them. Too much friction across the heating filaments can damage the adhesive bond of the printed filaments in old or already weakened vehicles. With a well-soaked, soft microfiber cloth and gentle pressure along the filaments, the rear window can also be cleaned without problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right choice of cloth also has a great influence on the result. For glass cleaning, microfiber cloths with a short, smooth pile structure are best suited, as they leave no fibers and offer a uniform cleaning surface. Cloths with a long pile structure, which are suitable for drying or applying sealants, are less suitable for glass cleaning — they leave more fibers on the cleaned surface and require an additional post-cleaning 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 line, there are several options with different focuses. The XTREME ScheibenKlar is the universal glass cleaner without additional sealing properties — it cleans reliably and leaves a clean surface that is prepared for further care products. It is the right choice when the focus is exclusively on cleaning or when a standalone glass sealant is to be applied in the next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who want to build up their glass cleaner assortment systematically and cost-effectively can start with ScheibenKlar as a base and, if necessary, supplement it with Ceramic ScheibenKlar as a practical upgrade option for vehicles that regularly require a glass sealant. This combination — pure cleaner for thorough deep cleaning, 2-in-1 product for quick refreshment — covers both application scenarios and offers maximum flexibility in daily business, without having to invest in an overly complex product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-scheibenklar-2-in-1-glasreiniger-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic ScheibenKlar \"2 in 1\"\u003c\/a\u003e combines cleaning action with a ceramic sealant in one step.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e has been developed precisely for these vehicles: a powerful special cleaner that effectively loosens road grime, insect residues, bird droppings, and brake dust film — without chemically stressing the film.

The micro-active surfactants require water as a carrier medium to fully unfold their cleaning effect. Work the cleaner in with a very soft wash mitt or a dedicated film washing cloth — sponges with a coarse texture are unsuitable for films. For stubborn insect residues, let the cleaner sit briefly (30–60 seconds) before working it in. Rinse thoroughly after washing and do not let it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMicro-active surfactant technology — how the film cleaner removes dirt without damaging the film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the performance of XTREME Film Cleaner lies in the selection of the surfactant combination. Surfactants are the active cleaning molecules in detergents and cleaners — they have a water-loving (hydrophilic) and a fat-loving (hydrophobic) molecular component, which allows them to dissolve dirt and grease from the substrate and suspend it in the water phase. With film cleaners, however, it's not just about removing dirt, but about doing so without damaging the film coating. This is a more challenging task than cleaning clear coat because films are more sensitive to chemical influences: solvents can dissolve film adhesives, acids attack matte surfaces and change their reflectance, and incorrect pH values can soften adhesive seams. The micro-active surfactant combination in XTREME Film Cleaner is tailored to these requirements: the molecular structure is chosen to develop a strong cleaning effect without reacting with the film materials themselves. In practice, this means: no matting effects on gloss films, no dissolution of adhesive seams, and no premature detachment at edges and overlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"micro-active\" describes the particularly fine distribution of surfactant molecules in the formulation. Due to their small molecular size, the surfactants penetrate deep into dirt layers and dissolve even dried-on insect residues and baked-on bird droppings without the need for mechanical force. This is particularly important for films: strong rubbing and scrubbing, which would be tolerated on a clear coat, can create fine scratches on films or permanently impair the self-healing effect of PPF. Gentle chemistry replaces mechanical force — that's the principle on which film cleaning is based. Another advantage of the solvent-free formulation: the product is suitable for enclosed spaces and car washes with limited ventilation without exceeding VOC (volatile organic compounds) limits. This is a relevant factor for professional detailers working in workshop areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte paints and matte films place special demands on cleaning chemistry. The matte appearance is created by a microstructured surface that diffusely scatters incident light instead of reflecting it. Any chemical compound that changes this microstructure — by dissolving, filling, or chemical reaction — alters the degree of matte and creates uneven glossy areas. Wax-containing products and silicon-based sealants are therefore unsuitable for matte films. XTREME Film Cleaner contains no waxy components and does not affect the surface structure — it cleans residue-free without changing the matte character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrectly applying XTREME Film Cleaner — the optimal washing workflow for foiled vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA foiled vehicle requires a different washing workflow than a painted one. The most important basic rule: always start with a pre-wash step that rinses off loose dirt before any cloth or glove touches the surface. Dry sand, brake dust, or coarse dirt particles rubbed over the film can create micro-scratches that are particularly noticeable on matte films and cannot be reversed. A high-pressure cleaner with a distance of 20–30 cm is ideal for the pre-rinse; alternatively, a strong water hose is sufficient to loosen loose dirt. Only after this pre-rinse should the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication during washing is deliberately kept simple: turn the spray nozzle to the spray setting, generously spray the cleaner onto the wet film, let it sit briefly, and work it in evenly with a soft film washing cloth or microfiber mitt. It is important to always work flat and with light pressure — no circular movements, no force application on stubborn areas. If insect residues or bird droppings do not soften immediately, allow a little more dwell time instead of using more pressure. Rinse thoroughly after working it in. The product must not dry — on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight, the product can form residues that are difficult to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical workflow for a fully foiled vehicle looks like this: pre-rinse with a high-pressure cleaner or strong jet of water, then pre-wash the roof, trunk, and sides with XTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo or a film-compatible shampoo, and in parallel, specifically treat particularly dirty areas — front bumper, hood, sills — with XTREME Film Cleaner. The combination of shampoo for basic cleaning and the special cleaner for problem areas is particularly effective on foiled vehicles because the micro-active surfactant formula has a significantly stronger effect on stubborn organic contaminants (insects, bird droppings) than a regular shampoo. After washing, for the best optical effect, the vehicle should be post-treated with a film-compatible detailer — such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-foliendetailer-quick-detailer-folieru\"\u003eXTREME Film Detailer Quick-Detailer for Foiling\u003c\/a\u003e, which adds shine and beading effect to the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication areas — PPF, Vinyl, Matte Paint, and everything in between\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world of foiling is diverse, and XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for the entire spectrum. PPF (Paint Protection Film) is the most technically demanding film variant: these transparent protective films have a self-healing polyurethane surface and are sensitive to alcohol- and solvent-based cleaners, which can permanently damage the self-healing effect. The solvent-free formulation of XTREME Film Cleaner is explicitly harmless for PPF — it cleans the surface without penetrating the polyurethane structure. Vinyl films are the most common material for full wraps and partial wraps. They are more robust than PPF, but also sensitive to acids and solvents. Particular caution is required with transparent and light-colored vinyl films, which show discoloration from incorrect chemicals much more visibly than dark colors. Here, too, the XTREME Film Cleaner formulation is designed for material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory matte finishes are another category that requires special care. Manufacturers such as BMW, Porsche, and Audi have been offering matte paint as a special finish for years — and these are extremely care-intensive. Normal waxes and polishes are taboo because they change the matte structure. XTREME Film Cleaner can also be used without hesitation on these factory matte paints, as it is free of waxy components and does not change the microstructure of the paint. Another area of application is partial wraps — i.e., vehicles where only certain areas are foiled (mirrors, roof frames, spoiler lips, A-pillars). Here, the cleaner must work on both the foiled surface and the adjacent clear coat without creating visible transitions. The film-compatible chemistry of the cleaner can also be used on clear coat without problems, which makes partial wraps particularly easy to treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso in the commercial sector — at foiling companies and detailers — the cleaner is suitable for final cleaning after a fresh foiling. After a new foiling, adhesive residues, fingerprints, and positioning marks are found on the film, which must be removed. XTREME Film Cleaner gently removes these residues without stressing the foiling, which is only a few days old and whose adhesive has yet to fully bond with the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFilm cleaner comparison — special cleaner vs. normal shampoo vs. professional care with ceramic sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common question when buying a film cleaner: Isn't a normal car shampoo enough? The answer depends on the type of film and the degree of contamination. For moderately dirty foils with a slight dust film and water spots, a pH-neutral shampoo is certainly suitable. However, as soon as insect residues, baked-on bird droppings, or brake dust film are on the film, a normal shampoo reaches its limits — the cleaning power is simply not enough to dissolve these protein-based and iron-containing deposits. XTREME Film Cleaner is the significantly more effective tool in precisely these situations. It dissolves where a shampoo only wipes. The alternative — rubbing longer and harder with shampoo — is not a good option for films, because mechanical stress does more harm than a stronger cleaner. If you have the choice between more chemistry and more mechanics for films, you should always prefer the chemical solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comparison with a universal car care cleaner shows another difference: many all-rounders contain wax components, silicones or polymers, which provide gloss effects on painted vehicles, but leave unwanted spots or shiny areas on matte films. XTREME Film Cleaner does not contain these additives — it cleans without residues and leaves the sealing to a separate care product, which can then be specifically chosen for the type of film. After cleaning with XTREME Film Cleaner, the XTREME Film Detailer can be applied to gloss films, and for professional long-term protection on PPF and vinyl, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-vinyl-ppf-folien\"\u003ePROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Vinyl+PPF Film Sealant\u003c\/a\u003e with up to 24 months durability is recommended. This combination — XTREME Film Cleaner for regular cleaning, ceramic sealant for long-term protection — is the most professional approach to film care and maximizes both the optical effect and the durability of the foiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of comparison is hand car wash vs. automatic car wash. Foiled vehicles should generally not be cleaned in automatic portal car washes — the brushes can damage films, and the cleaners used there are optimized for clear coat surfaces, not for films. XTREME Film Cleaner is designed for manual hand washing and completely replaces car wash visits for foiled vehicles. Anyone who regularly washes their vehicle by hand and uses the right cleaner will achieve optimal results over a long period of time and prevent the typical washing damage that occurs in automatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying recommendation — for whom XTREME Film Cleaner is the first choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Film Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential equipment for every foiled vehicle — a must, not an option. Anyone who owns a foiled vehicle and washes it with normal car care products risks damage over time that is expensive to repair: lightened matte areas, swollen film edges, adhesive residues under the film. A specific film cleaner costs a few euros and protects an investment that, depending on the foiling, ranges from a few hundred to several thousand euros. The price-performance ratio is excellent: a 750 ml bottle, with economical dosing, is sufficient for many washes, as the cleaner is only used concentrated on particularly dirty areas, and a normal film-compatible shampoo is sufficient for the basic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of vehicles with PPF film, the cleaner is particularly important because PPF can be permanently impaired in its self-healing properties by incorrect care. Full PPF foiling can quickly cost 3,000 to 6,000 euros or more — a care expense of 10 euros per cleaner is an absolutely justified investment in value retention here. For businesses — foiling workshops, car detailers, dealers with foiled vehicle inventories — XTREME Film Cleaner is a tool that is used daily and quickly proves its worth. The simple spray application directly in the washing process saves time compared to multi-stage cleaning processes and delivers consistent results. For the best overall result, it is recommended to use the film cleaner as part of a complete film care workflow: pre-rinse, XTREME Film Cleaner for problem areas, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-activeshampoo-autoshampoo\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Active-Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e for basic cleaning, drying with a suitable drying cloth, and subsequent care with the XTREME Film Detailer. This workflow keeps a foiled vehicle in optimal condition long-term and protects the foiling throughout its entire lifespan.

Wet wheels dilute the gel by 30 to 50 percent — the dwell time is then not sufficient for the thioglycolate reaction to complete. Hot wheels after driving cause the gel to dry in seconds, and you end up scrubbing off cleaner residue instead of brake dust. Wait at least 15 minutes between parking and cleaning — this is the cheapest quality improvement you can give yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. 3 minutes.

Start at the bottom and work your way up, because although the gel adheres vertically, it will still run off after some time and runoff marks would dry prematurely. For each wheel, estimate roughly 40 to 60 milliliters — at the upper end for 17-inch wheels with complex spoke fronts, less is sufficient for simple 15-inch steel wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 60 to 90 seconds, the color change begins. The full dwell time is 3 minutes, a maximum of 5 minutes — after that, the thioglycolate is saturated and no longer reacts. A common misconception in practice: leaving the cleaner on for 10 minutes does not result in any additional effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the contrary, the gel starts to dry and leaves cleaner residues, which mean extra effort when rinsing. A second short pass on the still-wet wheel is significantly more effective than an extended dwell time on the first — this is the most important operating insight that the manufacturer does not mention on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, rinse with a strong stream of water or a pressure washer from top to bottom until no reddish haze runs off. For heavy brake dust on complex spoke structures, a soft \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/felgenreiniger\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e helps distribute the gel between the spokes — not for scrubbing, but just for touching up and evenly distributing the second layer. In winter, when the ambient temperature is below 10 °C, extend the dwell time generously up to the 5-minute mark, because the reaction speed of thioglycolate decreases with temperature. Conversely, above 25 °C: work shorter and rinse faster before the gel dries.\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 application of SONAX FelgenBeast with color change on wheel\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThioglycolate dissolves iron. Not bitumen.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn regular brake dust from road vehicles, WheelBeast works very reliably — that is its core area. The color change also tells you what kind of contamination is present: iron particles react reddish-purple, organic contaminants such as tar, bitumen, or oil do not discolor at all. So after three minutes, you know whether you even have the right tool in your hand, or whether you should switch to an APC or a tar remover instead — a diagnostic step that no acid-based cleaner provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary application, WheelBeast also works as a fallout remover on paint. After parking lots next to railway tracks, industrial areas, or construction sites, fine iron particles from brake dust and rail abrasion accumulate on the hood, roof, and trunk — often not visible to the naked eye, but immediately noticeable as a \"sandy\" feel during the clay bar routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn such surfaces, generously spray WheelBeast, wait for the color change, and rinse off within 5 minutes. The clear coat remains untouched as long as you do not exceed the dwell time and the surface was not previously in direct sunlight. In Detailing1 practice, this is the most convenient iron decontamination step before polishing, without an extra product on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear limitations: burnt-in tar and bitumen stains do not react chemically with thioglycolate — for that, you need a solvent-based tar remover. And with extremely burnt-in brake dust on racing brake systems or after months of neglect, a single pass may reach its limits. If you need material compatibility on all surfaces, stick with WheelBeast and plan for two passes. If you want maximum cleaning power on known robust wheels, the more aggressive \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice for individual cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger_ergebnis.png?v=1775901582\" alt=\"Clean Porsche GT3 RS wheel with water beads after SONAX WheelBeast\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the regular caretaker, not for extreme cases.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheelBeast is the right choice for anyone who maintains their wheels every one to three weeks and doesn't want to search between three different cleaners in the garage every time they change vehicles. You grab it from the shelf, spray it on, rinse it off — done. This also makes it the logical entry-level product for detailing beginners who have no experience with material compatibility and cannot afford a wrong product choice on polished alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWheelBeast is particularly strong in two- or three-car households and in fleet use, where winter steel stands next to summer alloy and OEM diamond cut next to a painted spare wheel. One cleaner for all wheel types means in practice: no risk of mix-ups, no product changes between two cars, no discussion about whether the aggressive alkaline cleaner has now left marks on the chrome edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, WheelBeast is less suitable if you only clean your vehicle thoroughly once or twice a year and the brake dust has already been baked on for several months. In that case, even a second pass will not remove everything, because iron oxide has already worked its way into the wheel pores and requires mechanical post-processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete solution, combine WheelBeast with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etire care\u003c\/a\u003e as a finish: first chemically decontaminate the wheel, then dress the tire. This is the complete wheel workflow in two steps and under 15 minutes per vehicle — provided you stick with it every two weeks and the brake dust doesn't even get a chance to embed itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the choice of container size: The 1-liter spray bottle is the comfortable entry for a single vehicle and comes completely ready to use with an attachable spray nozzle. The 5-liter canister pays off from the second vehicle or at the latest in continuous commercial operation, because the price per liter is noticeably lower and you simply decant the gel into an empty spray bottle. Store frost-free between 5 and 30 °C and use within 24 months of opening — this ensures the color change remains 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":11.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":49160889958735,"sku":"D1-SNX-04335000","price":45.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger.png?v=1721575164"},{"product_id":"carpro-ironx-iron-fillings-cleaner-flugrostentferner","title":"\"IronX\" Cherry Iron Filings Remover Rust Remover","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCarPro \"IronX\" Cherry Iron Filings Cleaner Rust Remover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarPro \u003cstrong\u003eIronX\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ultimate cleaner for removing iron particles and rust from your vehicle.
