With AUTOMOTIVE — THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie Exterieur you get a logically built care system that covers the whole exterior wash and prep. Every product is based on proven Koch-Chemie technology and is curated so you work cleaner, faster and safer step by step – from the first foam contact to the final high-gloss finish. The workflow keeps typical mistakes out – flash-drying, scratches from a poor pre-wash or the wrong polish choice – and gets you results that stay visible day-to-day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSystematic exterior care: clear sequence, maximum protection and repeatable results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEasy on materials \u0026amp; paint: pH-neutral pre-wash, controlled polishing power, gentle detailer formulas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEfficiency day-to-day: strong cleaning power, high glide, deep gloss and stable beading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-wash \u0026amp; safe paint prep – the base for scratch-free work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExterior care always starts with a gentle but effective pre-wash.

Stubborn bug splatter comes off with InsectOff, whose protein-dissolving formula softens the grime without drying out paint or plastic trim. On the wheels, WheelKing uses its modern, acid-free reactive technology to break up brake dust and road film cleanly. The pre-wash is the decisive process for flawless paint: the cleaner the surface before the contact wash, the smoother and more scratch-free the end result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHand wash, care \u0026amp; glass – controlled, gentle \u0026amp; effective\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor the wash itself, MagicShampoo goes to work: a nourishing gloss shampoo that backs up existing wax or spray sealants while giving you excellent glide.

ClearView then gives you perfect visibility – the glass cleaner is highly volatile and streak-free, ideal for windscreens, wing mirrors and modern glass.

For the daily or weekly finish you use JustPerfect: a high-glide quick detailer that delivers slickness, colour depth and strong beading. The products mesh seamlessly, so you get a consistent result – mirror-like paint, a nice feel and protection that makes the next wash easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003csmall\u003eLast updated: 28.11.2025 — Author: Daniel (Detailing1)\n\u003c\/small\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-the-finisher-automotive-clearview-glasreiniger","title":"THE FINISHER \"ClearView\" Glass Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTHE FINISHER „ClearView“ — glass cleaner for crystal-clear vision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat's ClearView for? — This low-residue glass cleaner pulls fingerprints, dust, nicotine and road film off fast and streak-free, runs off in a controlled way, and leaves glass and mirrors clear inside and out – perfect as the last step after the wash.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE FINISHER ClearView glass cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you calm, streak-free vision in minutes on any car.

When it meets road film, dust and organic residue, particles get locked into micelles, and the glide additives cut the contact friction between your wash mitt and the surface. That's how you keep micro-scratches down, while the care agents dry as a thin film and visually refresh the LSPs you already have (wax, spray sealant, coating): more slickness, deeper gloss, clean water beading. The formula deliberately skips aggressive solvent boosters – that keeps your protection intact and makes the wash forgiving.

How you go about it: in the shade, cool surface, dose the shampoo per the maker's spec, foam it up in the bucket and wash top to bottom. The high lubrication film keeps the mitt gliding; dirt gets rinsed away safely before you hit the next section. After a thorough rinse, dry with a clean towel. For extra pop you can boost the wet surface with BodyGuard, or reach for JustPerfect once it's dry – both build on the slickness the wash already topped up. MagicShampoo plays nice with waxes, spray sealants and ceramic coatings; it keeps the protection rather than stripping it. For sensitive zones like piano-black trim always work with a fresh towel face, never \"rub\" in circles – the glide does its best work in clean cross-hatch passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarine – gelcoat gloss, salt film \u0026amp; easy-to-clean out on the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarine\u003c\/strong\u003e surfaces go dull fast after a salty run.

On textured anti-slip decks or rough GRP go with CleanMarine; MagicShampoo belongs on smooth, glossy areas. Keep it off teak, matte zones and textile deck coverings. Work in the shade, let nothing dry on and rinse generously. For vinyl upholstery the routine stays separate (VinylTexClean + VinylGuard); on glass you reach for SeaYou.

The reactive gel formula wraps complex designs right down into the barrel, chemically loosens particles and makes the reaction visible through that telltale colour change. That means less brushing, more control, and an even, clean finish on painted and powder-coated wheels – painted calipers included. In the THE FINISHER system, WheelKing comes after the pre-wash (TropicSnow) and before the contact wash (MagicShampoo); when you want final protection, BodyGuard takes care of it.

The gel structure keeps things sitting still so the active agents have time to loosen particles; the colour change shows you where the reaction is running. Because the formula is acid-free and pH-balanced, the job stays gentle on the material: clear coats, powder coatings and painted calipers keep their gloss and feel. On sensitive special surfaces – polished, bare, anodised – the rule is: test spot in a hidden area, short dwell time, rinse straight away.

Move a soft wheel brush over the spokes, barrel and edges; for lug holes and the valve area, detail brushes do the job. Then rinse with pressure until no more foamy streaks run off. Now comes the exterior wash with MagicShampoo; the mitt glides cleanly over the wheel you've already taken the load off. If you want more protection and easier cleaning next time, finish with BodyGuard once everything's dry – it makes the next wash noticeably easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResult \u0026amp; routine – winter grime, performance wheels \u0026amp; care plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoutine\u003c\/strong\u003e beats panic-cleaning: reach for THE FINISHER WheelKing wheel cleaner on every thorough wash, or at least every two or three washes, depending on how much brake dust you're dealing with.

Clean painted calipers at the same time, but keep it off any hot components right after a drive. After rinsing and the hand wash, dry with a separate towel to stop water spots.

THE FINISHER ShineSpeedPolish Wax Polish delivers exactly that trio in one stable, easy-working step. The gloss reads deep and \"calm\", because the fill takes the visual stress off micro-scratches. The wax film that forms backs up beading\/sheeting and makes the next clean easier – with no greasy look. Don't use it on matte paint\/wraps, since it deliberately fires up the gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish polish – application, pad choice \u0026amp; machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish polish\u003c\/strong\u003e works best on cool, clean paint. After a pre-wash (TropicSnow) and hand wash (MagicShampoo) you work panel by panel: a few drops on a soft to medium foam pad, run a dual-action in a crosshatch pattern until the film goes clear, then buff off the residue completely. On delicate clear coats start soft; more \"bite\" comes from pad hardness or slowly stepping up the machine settings. Treat edges and fresh paintwork carefully, and always lay down a test spot.

Micro-abrasives cut defects back in a controlled way, fine-oil carriers level out the paint and wipe off easily – no dust storms, no sticky residue. Perfect for cars with typical wash marks, when time is tight but the result still needs to look „detailed“. In the workflow, PowerSpeedPolish sits alongside the pure finish wax polish (ShineSpeedPolish).

THE FINISHER PowerSpeedPolish one-step polish runs finely tuned micro-abrasives that bite early and finish very cleanly as they break down. That's how car-wash haze, light swirls and grey hazing visibly disappear, without the finish going „milky“. The low-oil matrix wipes off fully and gives a clear, crisp reflection – the ideal base to lay down protection afterwards or show off the pure finish. On soft paints the polish stays gentle; on medium-hard paints it delivers the best balance of defect removal and brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDA polishing – pad choice, pressure \u0026amp; crosshatch for repeatable results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDA polishing\u003c\/strong\u003e brings out the strengths of THE FINISHER PowerSpeedPolish one-step polish: work in the shade, cool surface, clean pads. Start with a medium-hard foam pad; step up to a firmer pad if the defects are heavier, or drop back to a soft finishing pad on delicate paints. Set 3–4 pea-sized drops, spread on a low speed, then polish in an even crosshatch with moderate pressure until the film goes clear and thin. At the end, ease off pressure and stroke speed slightly to pull that last touch „to gloss“. Take edges, corners and fresh paint gently; masking off sensitive plastics saves you rework. Wipe residue off completely with a fresh, dense-nap microfibre – and there's your clean one-step result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHolograms, paint hardness \u0026amp; limits – when to top up, when to split\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHolograms\u003c\/strong\u003e are rare with the right pad and a DA, but they can show on extremely soft or gummy clear coats. Then a quick „jeweling“ pass with a soft pad and minimal product sorts it out. Very hard paints or deeper defects sometimes need more bite: here it pays to run a first, quick correction set with RoughCut, followed by a fast refining pass with PowerSpeedPolish. For pure gloss refresh with no real cut, ShineSpeedPolish is enough. Keep it off matte paint\/PPF – a polish would gloss up the matte level. After the one-step, your goal decides: maximum everyday protection with a sealant straight after wiping down, show finish, or a quick care refresh in between with JustPerfect after the next wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie „PowerSpeedPolish“ — one-step polish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes PowerSpeedPolish replace a multi-stage correction?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a lot of daily drivers, yes.
