A high-alkaline APC concentrate at pH 13 that lifts oil, grease and lubricants off workshop floors, out of the engine bay and off the lift in one pass.

With a pH between 12.5 and 13 it saponifies organic dirt — oil, grease, wax — turning it into soap compounds you can rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfactant shell then holds the loosened dirt in suspension so it doesn't dry back onto the panel when you rinse. That's why Green Star is the go-to APC in plenty of workshops and detailing shops that want a single cleaner for the engine bay, the lift, the workshop floor and exterior plastics — not because it's the best at any one of them, but because it hits the right balance between cleaning punch and material safety across that whole bracket.\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_hero.png?v=1775995591\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs bottle and canister on a concrete wall in front of a white Ferrari 296 GTB\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne chemistry, four dilutions.\u003c\/strong\u003e The mix ratio decides the job: 1:5 for the workshop floor and heavily oiled engine bays, 1:10 as a wheel pre-cleaner and bug remover, 1:20 for exterior plastics and rubber care, 1:50 for routine maintenance cleans in the customer reception.

A second pass lifts the residual dirt that was still in the pore bed. You won't get there mechanically with a pH-neutral interior cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never hit warm or sun-heated surfaces — once an engine block is past about 40 °C the alkaline solution flashes off and leaves water marks and limescale rings on painted covers. Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline. But not for everything.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner has workshop DNA — it's not the right chemistry for delicate interior or coating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt punches above its weight wherever organic dirt dominates: engine oil, gear oil, grease mist in the bay, soot on the workshop floor, brake-dust\/grease mixes in the wheel arches, road grime on commercial-vehicle frames. Bugs and bird droppings also soak off well with the 1:10 dilution before the actual wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the protein and turns a baked-on crust into a layer you can pull off — exactly where pH-neutral products would need you to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Green Star runs out of road is where the pH becomes the problem. On ceramic-coated paint every pass shaves a bit off the top bonding layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars a pH-neutral shampoo or the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodised aluminium, matte aluminium and polished metal you never treat neat and you always patch-test in a hidden spot first. The corrosion inhibitor protects painted aluminium reliably, but on anodised surfaces it starts to struggle. Same goes for non-anodised magnesium rims and race parts — the alkaline side bites into the surface as soon as you push the dwell past two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the cabin Green Star is plainly too aggressive: synthetic leather, Alcantara and coated dashboards don't take alkaline concentrates long-term, not even at 1:50.

Your decision tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping use cases — the choice isn't about price, it's about what you're cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop pick: hard-alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, built for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder follow-up with an optimised surfactant base and lower environmental load — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, it sits alongside it for detailers who work more often on private-customer cars with coatings and less on commercial frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" runs on completely different chemistry: weakly alkaline through to pH-neutral, built for interior, dashboards, carpets and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the buy decision: if the focus is the lift, the engine bay, the workshop floor and commercial-vehicle work, grab the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you mostly detail private-customer cars with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, bug removal and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the cleaner fit. If you're after a cleaner for interior, carpet and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — that's where the Mzr lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the 11-kilo Green Star plus a 1-litre Mzr covers most of the actual workload: Gs for the whole exterior, the engine bay and floor cleans, Mzr for the interior. If you've got three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — this two-product setup halves the chemical cabinet and still cleans tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePack size tracks monthly throughput. The 1000-millilitre spray head is for the home detailer and the first test drive, not a working shop. From one vehicle a week with a proper exterior wash the 5-litre canister pays off; from three vehicles the 11-kilo container. 22 and 225 kilos belong in shops with a dosing station and steady commercial-vehicle work — for smaller outfits they're an unnecessary lock-in to one chemistry and harder to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_detail.png?v=1775995607\" alt=\"Green Star working solution on the black plastic wheel arch of the Ferrari\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494630109519,"sku":"D1-KCX-291001","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":27.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-291011","price":56.72,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":107.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1055.54,"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-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger","title":"Green Star 96 \"Gs9\" All-Purpose Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Green Star 96 \"GS9\" — All-Purpose Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Green Star 96\u003c\/strong\u003e is a highly concentrated, \u003cstrong\u003ephosphate-free, solvent-free, alkaline all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e with a serious knack for lifting dirt and oil.

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

The alkaline formula handles those in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour shift from clean to dirty is instant on the Mzr — the microfibre after a wipe shows exactly what came out of the surface. Most dramatic on greyed light fabric seats: the first pass often pulls two shades of difference out. That's not a marketing line — it's the chemical effect of alkaline saponification breaking down the deep-set fat soiling that a neutral cleaner can't reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie positions the Mzr as an \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e for cars, industry and building maintenance. The pack sizes tell you the same story: the 1-litre bottle sits next to 11 kg, 21 kg and 225 kg drums. This is a workshop cleaner that also works in the car interior. That origin is where the strength comes from — the Mzr is formulated for industrial grime, and that power follows it into the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Mzr isn't the right tool: on genuine and synthetic leather with open-pore structure the alkalinity can dry out the surface and leave discolouration. Leather wants a pH-adjusted leather cleaner. On soft-touch plastics and rubberised surfaces like steering wheels or shift knobs it leaves dull patches. On painted or wrapped panels an alkaline cleaner has no business at all — even diluted 1:50, the pH still sits above 9. When you need an \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eall-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e with no risk for sensitive materials, the Koch-Chemie ASC is the safer pick — ready-mixed, pH-neutral, surface-agnostic.\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 grey on the left, deep black alcantara on the right\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne drum of Koch-Chemie Mzr. 200 litres of working solution.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Mzr pays back on yield. One litre of concentrate at 1:20 dilution gives you 21 litres of ready-to-use cleaner — enough for 15–20 full interior cleans. At €7.67 a litre that works out to under €0.50 per car. If you detail regularly, grab the 11-kg drum: at €77.75 you're at €7.07 per kilo and around 200 litres of working solution at 1:20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mzr is built for detailers, workshops and serious hobby detailers who want a concentrate over ready-mixed bottles. If you only clean the interior occasionally and don't want to mess with dilution, grab the MultiInteriorCleaner ready to use. If you want flexibility — stronger for a smoker's cabin, weaker for the weekly wipe-down — the Mzr is the cheaper bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor day-in, day-out workshop use we run a Koch-Chemie tap on the 11-kg drum: dose the concentrate into the bottle, top up with water, done. The 1-litre bottle is the one to keep for mobile work and the detailing kit. Store both frost-free between 5 and 30 °C; sealed concentrate keeps for 24 months. Use any diluted mix within four weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne safety note to finish: the Mzr is classified as corrosive (H314) and carries the signal word \"Danger\". In the concentrate, always wear gloves and safety glasses. At normal working dilutions of 1:10 to 1:20 the risk drops a lot, but you still want to avoid prolonged skin contact. The safety data sheet is on the product page for download.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: the Koch-Chemie Mzr isn't an everyday quick-wipe cleaner.

Normal car shampoo is designed for clear coats, not for the sensitive surface chemistry of PPF, vinyl films, or matte finishes. Washing a foiled vehicle with aggressive cleaners or incorrect chemicals risks matting effects on gloss films, discoloration at edges and seams, or premature detachment of adhesive bonds. 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 solvent and acid-free formula ensures high material compatibility while providing strong cleaning performance, and the 750 ml spray bottle can be used directly on the film during the washing process.

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.

Individual products for interiors, exterior paint, engine compartments, rims, and machinery mean increased storage effort, frequent reorders, and unnecessary complexity. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is the universal concentrate cleaner for all these applications: an alkaline cleaning formula suitable for most cleaning tasks in vehicle and operational areas at various dilution levels — and, thanks to container sizes from 1 liter to 200 liters, it's economically scalable for any operational scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversally applicable due to variable dilution system.\u003c\/strong\u003e MultiStar is supplied as a concentrate and diluted with water before use — the dilution rate determines the cleaning intensity: low dilution (1:5 to 1:10) for heavy soiling such as engine oil, bitumen residues, and stubborn dirt; medium dilution (1:20 to 1:50) for general vehicle cleaning; high dilution (1:50 to 1:100) for more sensitive areas like interior plastics or lighter dirt. One concentrate, many uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlkaline formula reliably dissolves organic contaminants.\u003c\/strong\u003e MultiStar's alkaline surfactant formula is optimized for dissolving organic contaminants: grease, oil, brake dust, tire abrasion, and general vehicle dirt are loosened and made water-soluble by the combination of alkaline pH and active surfactants. The formula is compatible with most common vehicle surfaces — paint, plastic, rubber, metal, and textile react well to the universal cleaner when properly diluted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge containers up to 200 liters for economical professional use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Available container sizes range from 1 liter for small businesses and occasional users to 200-liter drums for large operations and car washes. The price per liter significantly decreases with increasing container size, making MultiStar particularly attractive for businesses that use large quantities of cleaner daily. The concentrate concept also significantly reduces transport weight and storage space requirements compared to ready-to-use cleaners.\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 For effective use, we recommend keeping MultiStar in labeled spray bottles at various dilutions — e.g., 1:10 for engine compartments and rims, 1:30 for general exterior cleaning, 1:50 for interiors. This ensures the correct concentration is always at hand without having to mix new batches every time. Do not use on painted surfaces in direct sunlight or on very hot surfaces — rapid drying of alkaline cleaners can leave streaks. For acid-resistant dirt (lime, mineral residues), \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-acid-kraftreiniger-sauer\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Acid\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice, as alkaline cleaners cannot perform acidic dissolution reactions. Always rinse thoroughly to remove cleaning residues — especially on paint and rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate technology — why dilution makes MultiStar so flexible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate concept of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a decisive economic and logistical advantage over ready-to-use cleaners: The cleaning substances (surfactants, alkalis, builders) are supplied in highly concentrated form and only diluted with water at the point of use. This means that a 1-liter concentrate container holds the cleaning substance for 50–100 liters of ready-to-use cleaner — a 1-liter concentrate container has the same cleaning value as a 50-liter container of ready-to-use cleaner, but transports only a fraction of the weight and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alkaline action of MultiStar is based on two mechanisms: First, the alkaline pH value (typically pH 9–11 in the concentrate) increases the solubility of organic fat molecules — fats and oils are saponified in an alkaline environment, making them water-soluble and easier to wipe off. Second, the surfactants encapsulate dirt particles through micelle formation and suspend them in the aqueous cleaning solution, so they are carried away with the water during rinsing. This combination is very effective against most organic vehicle contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dilution flexibility allows the same basic cleaner to be used for very different cleaning intensities: In the engine compartment, where stubborn oil and grease are to be removed from hard, heat-resistant surfaces, a strong concentration (1:5) is appropriate and the surfaces tolerate the higher alkalinity. For the vehicle interior, where sensitive plastics, textiles, and Alcantara are treated, a strong dilution (1:50 or more) is necessary to avoid surface damage. The correct ratio is the critical operating skill — too diluted, the cleaner will not be sufficiently effective; too little diluted, it can attack surfaces or leave residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that use MultiStar in foam lances or high-pressure cleaners, the foaming tendency is relevant: MultiStar foams evenly and adheres well in the foam pre-wash mode when properly diluted and applied, which extends the dwell time on dirty surfaces and improves cleaning performance. Foam consistency can be adjusted by dilution and the use of suitable foam lance nozzles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying MultiStar correctly — dilution ratios for every area of use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of MultiStar concentrate begins with the correct dilution rate for the respective area of use. For engine washing and heavy exterior dirt: Dilution 1:5 to 1:10 (10–20% concentrate) — spray directly onto the soiled area, allow to dwell for 2–3 minutes, without letting it dry, then rinse with water. For rim cleaning and underbody washing: Dilution 1:10 to 1:20 (5–10% concentrate) — similar application method as for engine washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general vehicle cleaning and pre-cleaning: Dilution 1:20 to 1:50 (2–5% concentrate) — suitable as a foam lance pre-cleaner or for hand washing with a sponge. This dilution is gentle on paintwork and plastic surfaces and leaves no damaging alkaline residues. For interior cleaning and textiles: Dilution 1:50 to 1:100 (1–2% concentrate) — particularly gentle on sensitive surfaces; always test on an inconspicuous area before widespread use on Alcantara or sensitive coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant application notes: Always dilute MultiStar freshly and do not store diluted solutions in spray bottles for long, as diluted alkaline solutions can lose effectiveness over time and become unusable due to germ growth. When working with undiluted concentrate, ensure skin and eye protection — highly concentrated alkaline solutions can cause skin irritation. Store the concentrate itself in dry, cool conditions — in its undiluted state, the concentrate remains stable for several years with proper storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for MultiStar — when the universal cleaner is the most efficient solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly efficient in businesses that want to cover a wide range of cleaning tasks with a single product. Detailing businesses with diverse vehicle types (cars, vans, trucks) appreciate the flexibility: A single concentrate unit can be used for the engine compartment of a van, the interior cleaning of a car, and the pre-cleaning of a truck — each with the appropriate dilution. Stockkeeping is simplified, and the ordering process becomes more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleet managers and fleet care centers with regular cleaning intervals particularly benefit from the large containers: The 25-liter or 60-liter container allows for continuous supply without frequent reorders, and the more favorable pricing scale for large containers reduces cleaning costs per vehicle. The 200-liter drum size is designed for central cleaning systems where the cleaner is fed directly into machines or foam generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to specialized cleaners like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-alkaline-vorreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Alkaline\u003c\/a\u003e — which was developed as an optimized pre-cleaner for cold foam pre-wash — MultiStar offers a broader dilution spectrum and more areas of application, but consequently less specialization in the pre-wash area. Those who exclusively do pre-washing are better served with MultiClean Alkaline; those who are looking for a single cleaner for all tasks are optimally equipped with MultiStar concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiStar in comparison — universal cleaner vs. specialized cleaner in professional operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of whether a universal cleaner concentrate like MultiStar or a range of specialized cleaners is the better choice depends on the operational structure. A universal cleaner offers simplicity, cost savings through large containers, and flexibility — ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that do not want to cover every cleaning task with a specialized product. For particularly demanding cleaning tasks (lime removal → acidic cleaner, rims with heavy iron particle contamination → dedicated rim cleaner, sensitive displays → SensitiveSurface Detailer), specialized products are clearly superior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA proven strategy in well-equipped detailing businesses is a combination: MultiStar as the basic universal cleaner for 80% of all daily cleaning tasks, supplemented by one to three specialized products for applications where the universal cleaner is insufficient. This concept maximizes economic efficiency (one main product in large containers) while simultaneously providing optimal cleaning performance for specific requirements. The combination of MultiStar + MultiClean Acid + dedicated rim cleaner, for example, fully covers the entire spectrum of alkaline and acidic cleaning requirements in the vehicle sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to universal cleaners from other manufacturers, SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar offers the advantage of proven system compatibility with other PROFILINE products and a professional formulation designed for the specific requirements of the vehicle segment. Household universal cleaners are often optimized for other surfaces (floors, glass) and can leave residues or streaks on vehicle paint and sensitive plastics. The PROFILINE concentrate is tested for vehicle applications and certified for its compatibility with vehicle surfaces accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar — containers, pricing, and business recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 1 liter, 5 liter, 10 liter, 25 liter, 60 liter, and 200 liter sizes. For individual users and small businesses, the 1-liter container offers a manageable entry size — the concentrate is economical, and one liter covers several weeks or months for a small business. The 5-liter container is the most economical standard size for medium-sized businesses, while the 25-liter canister is the preferred option for larger businesses with daily demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pricing scale between the 1-liter and 60-liter containers is significant — the price per 100 ml of concentrate is considerably lower for the 60-liter container than for the 1-liter container. For car washes and fleet maintenance that use several liters of cleaner daily, the investment in the large container quickly pays for itself. The 200-liter drum is designed for industrial cleaning systems and central supply installations where the cleaner is fed directly into dosing pumps or automatic mixing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar is the most economical choice for businesses seeking a reliable, versatile universal cleaner of professional quality. Its concentrate concept, broad dilution flexibility, and availability in large containers make it the ideal basic cleaner in the PROFILINE range — supplemented by specialized products for particular cleaning requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1

THE FINISHER AllWays All-Purpose Cleaner forms an even film that adheres well in profile edges, around fittings, and along the waterline, without running off quickly. Salt and organic residues are bound in micelles and reliably removed during rinsing; rubber scuffs from fenders and ropes can be visibly reduced after a short softening period and light brushing. Because the cleaner dries cleanly, the subsequent wash starts without streaking, and BodyGuard can adhere evenly later. On sensitive metals or old, porous seals, work with short dwell times and a small test area to ensure the appearance and feel remain calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeck \u0026amp; Gelcoat – Safely clean non-skid, relieve waterline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck \u0026amp; Gelcoat\u003c\/strong\u003e demand control, not harshness.

On smooth gelcoat, the hardtop hood, and around the waterline, the cleaner carefully loosens harbor haze, splashes, and light soot stains; when moved in a crosshatch pattern with a pad\/brush, no patchy areas are created. Treat fender marks and black scuffs in sections, work quickly in the shade, and rinse completely.

The formulation builds on a classic, powerful APC profile: Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate binds calcium and magnesium ions from wash water (water softening), Sodium Alkane Sulfonate provides primary cleaning power against heavy oils, Trideceth-9 emulsifies even at low temperatures, Sodium Metasilicate buffers the pH for consistent cleaning performance, and Sodium Polyacrylate keeps dissolved dirt particles in dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTUGA Chemie, based in Osnabrück, has been producing these formulations in Germany for decades, supplying commercial detailers, workshops, and ambitious private customers in the DACH region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism of action proceeds in four phases. First, alkane sulfonates reduce the surface tension of the water — the solution completely wets the dirt. Second, the highly alkaline environment (buffered by sodium metasilicate) attacks the ester bonds of organic fats and breaks them down into water-soluble soaps and alcohols through saponification. Third, surfactants attach to the non-polar soot and oil particles, forming micelles that encapsulate the dirt. Fourth, polyacrylates and pyrophosphates prevent the re-agglomeration of micelles — the dirt is lifted and rinsed away without residue with clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis architecture is specifically optimized for aliphatic hydrocarbons — engine oil splashes, chain grease, diesel soot, nicotine residue, brake fluid leaks.

These are the milky-white spots that suddenly appear in backlight and can only be remedied by machine paint correction with heavy-cut polish (cut factor 8\/10 to 10\/10 on a medium-hard microfiber cutting pad). A stopwatch is mandatory, not a gut feeling. Plus: On a 60-degree warm black hood, the 3-minute window shrinks to 30 seconds. Never work in the sun, always place the car in the shade — this is not optional, this is damage prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilute, spray, wait three minutes, wipe or rinse.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard workflow begins with dilution — contrary to the RTU appearance of the 1-liter container, it is worthwhile to dilute the product for light and medium contamination. The rule of thumb: 1:1 for heavily greased engine compartment components and workshop floors, 1:5 for plastic trim and headliners, 1:10 for standard interior cleaning and door seals. Transfer to an empty spray bottle, fill with distilled or low-lime water, shake briefly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface must be cool — never in direct sun, never on hot brake discs, never immediately after engine operation.

For vertical surfaces, spray from bottom to top to avoid concentration gradients and streaks. Allow to act for three minutes — strictly no longer. For heavily encrusted areas (baked-on insect dirt, old nicotine film), agitate with a soft brush or microfiber pad during the contact time, without pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse thoroughly or wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.

The first peak is in spring detailing between March and May, when road salt corrosion on chassis and wheel arches, winter grime in the engine bay, and scattered grease deposits on workshop floors all need to be tackled simultaneously. The second peak is in early summer (May to July), when insect resin, pollen glue, and tree sap become the primary cleaning tasks — workshops and mobile detailers order 50 percent more in these weeks than in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-liter spray bottle for about 11 Euros is the convenient entry point for a private household vehicle with workshop needs — degreasing rims before sealing, cleaning the engine bay before care, immediately treating garage floors for oil stains.

Manufacturer approval is officially given for truck tarpaulin cleaning, cement floors in warehouses, and machine components in metal processing — the high pyrophosphate concentration even tackles dried-on machine grease residue. In the detailing forum dasdetailingforum.de, it is regularly traded as a \"secret workshop standard\" that also covers DIY needs alongside car care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSafety notice: The product is classified as eye irritant (H319). Always wear safety glasses and nitrile gloves during application.

A highly concentrated alkaline universal cleaner from TUGA Chemie GmbH (5-liter containers only) with a pH value of 11.0 to 13.5 — the power level in the TUGA product range. The formula is based on potassium hydroxide (caustic potash, CAS 1310-58-3) as the primary alkali, supplemented by non-ionic surfactants (ethoxylated alcohols C9-C11, CAS 68439-46-3) and ethoxylated amines. The VOC content is exactly 0.0 percent. Dilutable from 1:5 (extreme soiling) to 1:30 (light maintenance). Excellent for paints, plastics, tarpaulins, workshop floors, agricultural machinery, and upholstery — strictly unsuitable for unprotected aluminum, zinc, tin, and anodized trim.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTugalan®\u003c\/strong\u003e is TUGA Chemie's alkaline high-performance concentrate and positions itself as a hybrid APC between a pure industrial degreaser and a detailing all-rounder. Unlike the already highly alkaline Teufels-Reiniger (pH 10.5-11.8), Tugalan operates in the high-alkaline range (pH 11.0-13.5), achieved by the primary alkali potassium hydroxide — an extremely potent proton acceptor that chemically breaks down organic fats and oils into water-soluble soaps through alkaline ester hydrolysis (saponification).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTUGA Chemie from Osnabrück has been manufacturing these formulations in Germany for decades, supplying commercial detailers, workshops, and ambitious private customers in the DACH region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfactant architecture distinguishes Tugalan from simple industrial APCs. Instead of the usual anionic surfactants, TUGA uses ethoxylated alcohols (C9-C11) and ethoxylated amines — both non-ionic, both hard water stable. They have excellent creeping properties, penetrate deep into porous dirt, and reliably emulsify even with hard tap water. Anionic surfactants would form insoluble lime soaps in hard wash water, leaving a gray film on the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning takes place in two phases. First, the potassium hydroxide solution chemically breaks down triglycerides (fats and oils) into glycerin and water-soluble fatty acid salts — the non-water-soluble dirt is made water-soluble. Second, the ethoxylated alcohols massively reduce the surface tension of the water; the hydrophobic surfactant tail binds to the remaining hydrocarbons (diesel soot, road oil), and the hydrophilic head turns to the water — micelles form, encapsulating the dirt and keeping it in suspension until rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDilutable from 1:5 to 1:30 — extremely economical.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure for extreme industrial soiling, 1:5 for heavily greased workshop floors, 1:10 for standard workshop applications, 1:20 for plastic cladding and headliners, 1:30 for light all-purpose applications.

Pure application belongs in high-load industrial cleaning: baked-on machine grease residue on workshop steel benches or diesel soot on sewer manholes. On any painted surface or in a detailing context, dilute at least 1:5, standard 1:10 to 1:20. If it dries, the potassium hydroxide residues crystallize as solid lye on the surface — the white, milky spots are irreversible in the clear coat. Maximum exposure time of 3 to 5 minutes, never in the sun, never on hot surfaces. Plus: acid protection glasses (not standard safety glasses!) and acid-resistant nitrile gloves are not a recommendation for Tugalan, but mandatory. Disposal is via AVV waste codes for strongly alkaline lyes — never in household waste or normal wastewater channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilute concentrate appropriately, spray on, wait 3 to 5 minutes, rinse with high pressure.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard workflow begins with correct dilution. Rule of thumb for most common applications: 1:5 for heavily greased engine bay components and workshop steel, 1:10 for heavily soiled plastic panels and workshop floors, 1:20 for standard interior cleaning in professional detailing, 1:30 for light maintenance washing on upholstery and furniture. A 1-liter spray bottle with 200 ml concentrate plus 800 ml distilled water yields a 1:5 mixture — sufficient for approximately 50 square meters of medium industrial cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface must be cool. Never use in direct sunlight, never directly after machine operation on hot workshop components. In direct sunlight, move the car or component to the shade. For workshop floor applications in summer, work early in the morning or late in the evening when the concrete is cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the diluted solution evenly from 20 to 30 centimeters away. For vertical surfaces, spray from bottom to top to avoid concentration gradients and streaks. Allow to act for three to five minutes — strictly no longer. For heavily encrusted areas, agitate with a stiff detailing brush or microfiber pad during the dwell time, without extreme pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse thoroughly without residue or wipe with a damp microfiber cloth. For exterior applications, thoroughly neutralize with clear water or a high-pressure cleaner — potassium hydroxide residues must be completely removed, otherwise long-term corrosion will occur. For interior applications, always use a second, clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a workshop context, Tugalan is often preparation for metal protection coatings or painting — degreased surfaces bind conversion layers and primers significantly better.

Main categories: unprotected aluminum (even anodized — the anodized layer will be attacked), zinc (galvanizing), tin (solder joints, older bodywork penetrations). On these materials, the high pH value leads to oxidation or direct chemical dissolution — visible as dull or whitish spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClear-coated aluminum rims, however, are harmless as long as the clear coat is intact and the dilution is at least 1:10.

The first peak is in spring detailing between March and May — salt corrosion on chassis and workshop lifts, winter grime in engine compartments, grease deposits on workshop floors.

This is not an oversight, but strategic positioning: the product is intended for professional users with dilution workflows and bulk needs, not for spontaneous individual care in private households. The price of approximately 36 euros per 5-liter canister equates to about 7.20 euros per liter of concentrate — at a 1:10 dilution, this comes to about 65 cents per liter of application solution, a clear efficiency win over RTU competitors like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tuga-chemie-teufels-reiniger-universalreiniger\"\u003eTeufels-Reiniger in 1-liter containers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOff-label, Tugalan has established itself as an industrial universal cleaner in the DACH region.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE All-Purpose-Cleaner \"Foam\"\u003c\/strong\u003e solves that with a different product format: as a spray foam it clings to vertical surfaces and keeps the cleaning agent right where you need it. The stable foam stretches the dwell time on hard-to-reach and vertical surfaces by a long way — no running off, no wasted product. The 400 ml aerosol can is the compact, ready-to-use answer for interior cleaning in pro work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoam-based agent for maximum dwell time on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once you spray it on, the APC Foam clings to the surface and releases the cleaning agent steadily over several minutes. That longer dwell time matters most with crusted-on stains, dried-in dirt and grease build-up on plastic surfaces — the active substances get time to emulsify the dirt particles before you go back over with the cloth. The result is a more thorough clean with less elbow grease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile on textile, plastic, carpet and interior surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e A true all-purpose cleaner doesn't need different products for different interior surfaces: the APC Foam cleans plastic dashboards, fabric seats, Alcantara surfaces, velour carpets, rubber seals and faux leather with the same technique. That trims the product stock you keep on hand and boils interior cleaning down to a single product for nearly every surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact aerosol format for quick reach and clean handling.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 400 ml format is built for mobile work and grab-and-go availability: the can fits in any tool bag and is ready to use with no decanting or diluting. Unlike concentrate products that have to be measured out and poured into spray bottles, the APC Foam works straight from the can — ideal for mobile detailers and for a quick touch-up between detailing steps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray the PROFILINE APC Foam onto the surface you want to clean, let it dwell for 1–2 minutes and lift it off with a lightly damp microfibre cloth. On textile and carpet it pays to work the foam in with a soft brush before you take it off with the cloth — that way the dirt bound up in the fibres lets go more completely. On delicate surfaces like Alcantara or pale fabrics, test on a hidden spot first. As a pre-clean before a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-fabriccoating-textilimpragnierung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FabricCoating textile sealant\u003c\/a\u003e the APC Foam is a solid pick — it cleans thoroughly without harsh solvents that would damage the textile structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the APC Foam is formulated — foam-based cleaning and pH value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePROFILINE All-Purpose-Cleaner \"Foam\"\u003c\/strong\u003e carries a mix of surfactants and emulsifiers, brought to a stable foam consistency in an aerosol formulation with propellant. The surfactants in the APC Foam are built for a broad range of dirt: they emulsify fats and oils (the typical marks on steering wheels and gear knobs), break the dust bonds on plastic (that familiar \"sticky film\" on old dashboards) and back up the mechanical lift of dried-in dirt on carpets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH value of the APC Foam sits in the slightly alkaline range — strong enough to clean effectively, but gentle enough for delicate surfaces like Alcantara and dyed textiles. Strongly acidic or strongly alkaline cleaners would attack the colour on Alcantara and damage that signature suede look. The mild formulation of the APC Foam is tuned to the varied demands of a car interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne technical point that often gets overlooked day-to-day: shaking before use matters more with spray-foam products than with liquid cleaners. The propellant and the active agent can separate inside the can when it sits unused for a while. A solid 5–10-second shake before use gives you even foam quality and the best cleaning action. Spray without shaking and you often get almost pure propellant with no agent first — which is why that supposed \"first spray\" does nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam in the APC Foam is formulated to stay stable for 2–4 minutes after you lay it down, then slowly collapse into a lightly damp, cleaning-active layer. That collapse point is the ideal moment for the mechanical clean with cloth or brush: the cleaner has worked its way into the surface by then and the loosened dirt comes off completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the APC Foam — interior cleaning, surfaces and dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard run for interior cleaning with the APC Foam: shake the can, spray evenly onto the surface you want to clean (about 15–20 cm away), let it dwell for 1–3 minutes, wipe off with a soft microfibre cloth and follow up with a dry cloth if needed. On carpets and upholstery it pays to work the foam in mechanically with a soft brush before you wipe — that lifts more deeply embedded dirt than wiping alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor heavily soiled or strongly odour-laden textile areas (driver-side carpets with ground-in dirt, rear seats with kids' stains), a two-pass approach works well: spray and work in a first coat, take it off roughly with a dry cloth, then a second coat for the finishing clean. The two-layer method pulls out stubborn stains that the first pass only loosened through the dirt and that come off completely on the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common use in the pro world is spot treatment: you can target single stains on upholstery or carpets with the APC Foam without cleaning the whole seat. The foam sprays precisely onto the stain without wetting the neighbouring clean area. That comes in handy in day-to-day dealership work, where a showroom car has to be back in perfect shape fast after a customer's been in it — with no full interior clean. Single fingerprints on Alcantara, fresh coffee marks on the carpet mat or dirt streaks on the steering wheel are gone in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a pro detailing operation the APC Foam works for a quick interior clean between the exterior detail and handover: 10–15 minutes to clean the key interior surfaces (dashboard, door cards, carpets) with the APC Foam, and the car is in handover-ready shape — no full deep-clean process needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the APC Foam works — interior, boot and detail cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe APC Foam covers every textile and hard surface inside the car: dashboard and centre console in hard plastic, door cards with a fabric or faux-leather panel, seat surfaces in fabric or Alcantara, textile headliners, carpet on the floor and in the boot, plus rubber seals on doors and windows. For each of these surfaces the APC Foam works as a single product — no product swap, no extra measuring of concentrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeadliners call for extra care: the headliner is often a textile material with an adhesive layer underneath. Cleaning too wet or letting cleaners dwell too long can loosen that adhesive on older cars, which leads to the headliner sagging. The APC Foam is gentle enough for headliners as long as you apply it sparingly and don't lay it on in excess. Short dwell time (1 minute) and gentle dabbing instead of rubbing protects the headliner adhesive. On very old cars, or where the headliner is visibly starting to sag, skip aggressive wet cleaning altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the interior, the APC Foam also suits quick detail cleaning on exterior parts: engine-bay plastic trim, boot carpets and boot liners can be cleaned with the same product. You can use it on metal surfaces, but that isn't the main use case — for paint and wheels there are more specialised products in the PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe APC Foam compared — all-purpose cleaners in the PROFILINE range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the PROFILINE interior cleaning range the APC Foam rounds out the other cleaning products: the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-innenreiniger-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE InnenReiniger\u003c\/a\u003e is a classic liquid interior cleaner for the base clean with a spray bottle; the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the eco-certified, mild all-rounder for delicate surfaces. The APC Foam rounds these out as the format for quick, vertical-surface cleaning — where a liquid cleaner doesn't cling efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operations cleaning a lot of car interiors regularly, the APC Foam makes sense alongside a concentrate-based interior cleaner: the concentrate for the large-area base clean, the APC Foam for the detail work on hard-to-reach or vertical spots. The combination of both product formats covers every interior cleaning need efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE All-Purpose-Cleaner \"Foam\" — for interior cleaning and detail work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 400 ml format of the APC Foam is ideal for mobile detailers, interior cleaning pros and operations after a compact interior cleaning solution for quick work. The aerosol format makes handling especially easy: no decanting, no diluting, ready to use right away. Dosing through the can's spray head is easy to control — too much foam on delicate surfaces is easy to meter back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStoring aerosol products like the APC Foam means following a few ground rules: temperatures above 50 °C (in a car interior in summer, say, or near radiators) can raise the internal pressure of the can and lead to damage. So keep the can out of direct sunlight and don't leave it lying in hot cars. Stored properly below 25 °C and away from any direct heat source, the product is stable and keeps without limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operations with very high interior cleaning demand, the combination of APC Foam for details and a larger interior-cleaner concentrate for the base clean works well — that way the APC Foam isn't your daily high-volume cleaner but the specialist product for quick, precise jobs.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for exactly that brief: a ready-to-use universal interior cleaner that handles every surface inside the cabin — from fabric seats through leather to glass and plastic — while leaning on an Ecocert-certified formula with 99.75% naturally sourced ingredients.

The headliner is often glued layers; a direct mist can soak in and loosen the bond. On Alcantara, run the cloth with light pressure and always in one direction (with the nap) — no circular motions that rough up the fibres. For interior glass, lay CleanStar onto a dry microfibre cloth and wipe in overlapping horizontal passes; then buff with a second dry cloth. For a full interior clean, stick to a clear workflow: ceiling → glass → dashboard → doors → seats → floor. That way no cleaned area gets dirtied again by a later step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEcocert certification and natural ingredients — what sets the SONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" apart from conventional cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ecocert certification is the core difference between the CleanStar and other SONAX PROFILINE interior cleaners. Ecocert is a French certification body that has tested and certified natural and organic products to defined standards since 1991. For a cleaning product, Ecocert certification means the ingredients must come in large part from natural or naturally derived sources; synthetic solvents, petrochemical derivatives and certain preservatives are either banned or tightly limited. The CleanStar meets these requirements with a 99.75% naturally sourced content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfactants in the CleanStar are plant-derived — anionic and amphoteric surfactants made from renewable raw materials (mostly coconut or palm oil derivatives). These plant-based surfactants have a cleaning profile comparable to synthetic equivalents, but break down far better in wastewater. For businesses that run their wastewater management to ecological standards or are chasing environmental certifications, the biodegradability of the ingredients is a real criterion when picking a product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point worth flagging on the natural formula: odour emissions. Conventional interior cleaners with synthetic solvents often leave a sharp chemical smell that lingers in the cabin after cleaning and can put customers off — especially at handover. Thanks to its plant-based surfactants, the CleanStar has a much milder, fresh scent of its own that clears completely after a short airing. For dealerships and businesses that care about a pleasant smell after an interior clean, that's a noticeable difference in the customer experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH value of 6.5-7.5 is decisive for material compatibility. Many aggressive interior cleaners work in the alkaline range (pH 8-11), which delivers strong soil-lifting power but dries out leather, damages Alcantara and attacks coated plastics. The CleanStar, in its near-neutral pH range, is by contrast safe to use on all the materials named — it's easy on the surfaces while still cleaning normal car dirt well (dust, fingerprints, drink residue). For very heavy soiling (blood, engine oil, tar) stronger, non-Ecocert-certified cleaners are often more effective; for everyday and care work the CleanStar is positioned just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe preservatives in the CleanStar — 2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one and Methylisothiazolinone — are the one point where sensitive users might prick up their ears: these preservatives can cause skin irritation in some people. But they are present in very low concentrations (well under the legally permitted maximums) and are harmless for professional use with normal hand protection. Ecocert certification does not rule out these preservatives in acceptable amounts — they're needed to keep the product stable over its shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing CleanStar \"Ecocert\" — a ready-to-use cleaner for every interior surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CleanStar \"Ecocert\" is ready to use — no dilution needed. That direct-use design is a clear win for pro work: no measuring, no mixing, straight from the bottle. Spray the product onto a microfibre cloth (SONAX recommends the Scheibe+Innen microfibre cloth) and apply it to the surface you're cleaning. The spray foams up moderately — no over-foaming that would be hard to pull out of upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe workflow for a full car interior: work top to bottom. Clean the headliner first with a sparing cloth application, then interior glass, dashboard and cockpit plastics, door cards, seats and finally floor mats and floor. Rinse the cloth in fresh water regularly and re-spray it with product — a heavily soiled cloth moves more dirt than it picks up. For stubborn soiling on a given spot, apply cleaner to the cloth several times and let it dwell; the key is patience, not pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn glass (windscreen, side windows, interior mirror) the CleanStar is especially effective against the hazy film that forms on the glass of cars with a lot of plastic off-gassing inside. This silicone-laden film from plastic out-gassing is stubborn and many universal cleaners struggle to shift it. With its amphoteric surfactants, the CleanStar cuts through the greasy film more efficiently than purely anionic cleaners. For the best glass finish, use a dry buffing cloth until no streaks are left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor child-transport vehicles, ambulances and commercial vehicles with frequently changing passengers, the CleanStar is a particularly good fit, since the natural ingredients carry less irritation risk on accidental skin contact than synthetic cleaner alternatives. For end customers with sensitive skin, or who react to synthetic chemicals in the cabin, the Ecocert formula is a preferred choice. This product-safety angle is especially relevant for businesses maintaining care fleets for nurseries, care services or medical transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlcantara calls for a special application technique: Alcantara is a microfibre synthetic fibre with a textile structure that wrong cleaning can permanently disturb (roughening, glazing). Spray the CleanStar onto the cloth (not onto the Alcantara), then wipe with light pressure in the direction of the nap (typically top to bottom on seats). No circular motions. Wipe wet-on-wet afterwards with a slightly damp, clean cloth to lift residue. Once dry, raise the Alcantara fibres with a soft clothes brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro container sizes — 5, 25 and 200 litres for every operation scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" comes in three container sizes cut to different operation sizes. The 5 litre can is the entry point for smaller detailing businesses, mobile detailing and well-kitted hobby detailers with high consumption: 5 litres of ready-to-use cleaner lasts, used sparingly, for 50-100 full car interior cleans. The can is handy enough to carry in the vehicle and fits most tool boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 litre size is built for mid-sized detailing businesses doing 5-20 cars a day. A 25 litre canister lasts roughly 4-6 weeks at 5 cars a day, depending on how heavy the cleaning is. The price edge over the 5 litre can is already clearly noticeable at this size — the cost per litre drops sharply, which adds up to a real saving over the year in continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the 25 litre size it pays to top up spray bottles from a filling station or a burette dosing system rather than working straight from the canister. That saves product through precise dosing and stops spills when pouring from a big canister into narrow spray bottles. Simple dosing pumps for 5 and 25 litre canisters are cheap in the detailing accessory trade and pay for themselves quickly through product savings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200 litre drum is aimed at large operations, dealership chains and fleet-care services with very high cleaning volume. A 200 litre drum needs a stationary tap or a dosing pump to match, available as an accessory. For businesses cleaning 20-50 cars a day, the 200 litre drum cuts reorder frequency to a few times a year and avoids the logistics costs of frequent small orders. The cost per litre on the drum is, again, far cheaper than on the smaller containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleanStar \"Ecocert\" compared — PROFILINE vs. consumer and vs. Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe direct comparison with the consumer version, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-cleanstar-ecocert-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/a\u003e in 750 ml: the formula is identical — same Ecocert certification, same natural ingredients, same pH neutrality. The difference is purely in container size and packaging concept: the 750 ml bottle is built for the private user with 1-2 cars, the PROFILINE container for pro use with correspondingly higher consumption. If you already know and rate the consumer version, you'll find the same product in the PROFILINE version in a professional container size with cost advantages in steady use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-interior-detailer-concentrate-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Interior Detailer Concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e a clear positioning gap shows up: the Interior Detailer Concentrate is a concentrate (dilutable 1:10 to 1:50), not Ecocert-certified, and in return has an antistatic working component the CleanStar doesn't have. If you value the eco certification and a ready-to-use solution, you reach for the CleanStar. If you want to tune the cleaner individually to different soiling levels and rate antistatic protection as important, you pick the Interior Detailer Concentrate. For businesses with a sustainability strategy, the CleanStar is the future-proof choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SensitiveSurface Detailer\u003c\/a\u003e is the specialist product for the most delicate materials — Alcantara, velour, the highest-grade leather variants. Where the CleanStar covers 95% of interior cleaning jobs, the SensitiveSurface Detailer is the pick for the last 5% with especially tricky surfaces. Day-to-day, a combination works well: CleanStar for the standard interior, SensitiveSurface Detailer as a backup for special materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying an eco-friendly interior cleaner — who the SONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\" is right for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CleanStar \"Ecocert\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal choice for professional detailing businesses that pick their cleaning products on ecological and sustainability-driven criteria. Businesses with ISO 14001 certification or similar environmental-management standards can use the CleanStar as a clear product record for the use of natural ingredients in their documentation. Businesses positioned in sustainable car care, or wanting to reach customers in that space, also benefit from the clear Ecocert promise in their customer communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the context of environmental and sustainability initiatives, the CleanStar is of interest to businesses documenting their carbon footprint and chemical use. Plant-based surfactants typically carry a lower CO₂-equivalent value in manufacturing than petrochemical derivatives; the biodegradability in wastewater lowers the environmental load on the disposal route. For businesses wanting to win ecological tenders (e.g. municipal fleet care or public transport operations), using Ecocert-certified products can be a provable quality marker in the bid documentation. Detailing1 can provide product data sheets and safety information for the CleanStar for tender documents on request. Another point concerns staff satisfaction: strong-smelling or skin-irritating cleaners are a burden in daily use. The CleanStar is formulated to be skin-friendly and has a neutral scent of its own that doesn't spoil the working atmosphere. That makes it especially suited to businesses cleaning many cars a day and watching the long-term health compatibility of the products they use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor dealerships and leasing companies with their own detailing department, the 25 or 200 litre container is the most economical solution: a uniform product range, plannable reorder intervals, and one cleaner that works for every car interior and every material — without special products for each segment.
