This solvent-free plastic care revives faded colours, masks dull patches and surface scratches, and seals every plastic part inside and outside the car — engine-bay preservation right after the wash included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaded plastic trim, dull dashboards and engine covers gone grey are some of the most common jobs detailing businesses tackle day in, day out. What plenty of people don't realise: most silicone-based plastic dressings throw out a quick shine but pull in dust, leave a tacky surface and give you no real protection. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a different route — a solvent-free, regenerating plastic care that revives colours, masks dull patches and scratches, and lays down a protective preservation layer on the plastic without any in-your-face high-gloss look. What you get is a subtle, natural sheen close to factory-fresh, and it sells far better to your customers than a greasy, shiny dashboard. Available in three pack sizes — 1 litre, 5 litres and 25 litres — PlasticCare covers everything from the small one-man outfit to the big detailing chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour revival with a subtle, natural sheen.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and dark-grey plastic parts look rich and deep again after treatment, without that artificial shine. The subtle sheen SONAX is known for comes from a thin preservation layer that reflects light evenly instead of mirroring it like a silicone film. That matters most on high-end cars, where too much gloss on the dashboard reads as cheap and puts off discerning customers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent-free — safe for every type of plastic.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula won't attack painted or unpainted plastics and works across the whole interior. Unlike solvent-based alternatives, PlasticCare doesn't dry the plastic out or make it brittle. Long term that's the difference that counts: solvents lift surface grime but pull the plasticisers out of the material at the same time — the opposite of real, lasting care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine-bay preservation in one step.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprayed on straight after the engine wash, PlasticCare seals every plastic cover and cable sheath in the bay. The surfaces are protected and get a tidy, looked-after finish that makes the difference at inspections and used-car sales. No separate engine-bay product needed — PlasticCare handles that job too.\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 For the best result, fill PlasticCare into a SONAX Sprayboy and, depending on how much sheen you want, dilute it up to 1:2 with water. Less concentrate gives you a flatter, more natural look — ideal for dashboards and centre consoles, where high gloss can cause glare. For the engine bay, use PlasticCare neat, right after the engine wash and once you've blown excess water out of the recesses and off the ignition system with compressed air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic care without solvents — why that makes a difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plastic-care market is a mess, and a lot of products promise more than they deliver. Most cheap interior sprays and plastic dressings are built on silicone oils and solvents. The silicone oil delivers instant shine, the solvent helps it soak in fast. The problem: silicone oils sit on the surface as a film and pull in dust like a magnet. After a few days the dressed dashboard looks dustier than before. Solvents, meanwhile, go after the plasticisers in the plastic over time — the very substances that keep it supple and colour-rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/strong\u003e works without solvents and instead relies on a regenerating blend of active ingredients that sinks into the top layer of the plastic, brings faded pigments back to life and forms a thin protective coat. That coat isn't tacky, barely attracts dust and creates no unnatural shine. The effect lasts far longer than with silicone products, because the actives don't just sit on the surface and disappear at the next wipe — they genuinely regenerate the top layers of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the daily run of a detailing business this difference shows up in two places above all. First, the treated surface stays clean much longer, because there's no silicone film binding particles. Second, PlasticCare is easy to redo — when the customer comes back weeks later, a fresh coat keys in perfectly, with no layers building up and nothing to strip off first. With silicone-based products you often have to clean the old layer off before you can dress fresh — a step that costs time and calls for solvent cleaners that, in turn, stress the plastic all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother plus of the solvent-free formula shows in how it handles delicate plastics: high-end cars increasingly use soft-coated interior surfaces — so-called soft-touch plastics that feel great but react extremely badly to solvents. A single contact with aggressive products can leave these surfaces permanently tacky or rub the soft-touch coating away. PlasticCare is safe on these delicate surfaces and cares for them without attacking the coating — something that matters a lot when you're detailing premium cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRestoring plastic — application inside and on exterior parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlasticCare is deliberately simple to apply, so it stays fast and efficient in the day-to-day too. For the interior, fill the product into a Sprayboy, spray it onto a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-sensitivesurface-detailer-innenraumreiniger\"\u003esoft microfibre care pad\u003c\/a\u003e and spread it evenly across the plastic. Don't spray straight onto the surface — first, you avoid overspray on glass and displays, and second, you've got better control over how much you lay down. A thin, even coat is enough; thicker layers don't give a better result, they just dry slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiluting with water up to 1:2 is a handy feature plenty of products don't offer. For the dashboard and centre console we'd go with the diluted version — the result is a subtle, silky sheen that throws no glare in direct sun. On cars with big, light dashboards in particular, too much gloss can mirror in the windscreen and spoil your view. For door cards and plastic parts in the boot you can work neat, since glare doesn't matter there and the stronger colour-revival effect is exactly what you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, PlasticCare plays to its strength on unpainted plastic parts: bumper trim, mirror caps, wheel-arch liners and side mouldings that have gone grey under UV get their dark colour back. The effect isn't permanent — after a few weeks outdoors and a handful of washes it fades — but for prepping a car before a sale or as a regular care step it's convincing. If you want more durable protection on exterior plastics, you can use PlasticCare as a base coat and then lay down \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-plastic-rubber-kunststoffversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/a\u003e as a long-term seal on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that matters when you apply it: don't work on hot surfaces. PlasticCare needs a moment to dry evenly — on heated plastic the watery part flashes off too fast and you can get patchy spots. Ideally you work at room temperature or in the shade. Same goes for storage: keep it away from frost, as the water-based formula can take damage below zero. A product that's frozen through can lose its even consistency and shouldn't be used any more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a typical car interior you need about 20 to 30 millilitres of concentrate diluted — which means a litre of PlasticCare covers around thirty to forty full interior treatments. On cars with a lot of interior plastic, like SUVs or vans, reckon on double. That mileage is one of the reasons PlasticCare works out cheaper long term than budget products, despite the higher upfront price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngine-bay preservation — the underrated job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngine-bay preservation is an area plenty of detailers skip or cover with specialist products. PlasticCare gives you a practical edge here: it takes that job on as well, with no extra product needed. The best moment is straight after the engine wash — the bay is clean, the surfaces still slightly damp, and PlasticCare spreads especially evenly and quickly on the wet surfaces, because the water acts as a glide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe routine: first blow excess water out of the recesses, off the connectors and the ignition system with compressed air. Then spray PlasticCare neat onto the plastic covers with the Sprayboy, evenly. The preservation guards against fresh dirt, stops the heat, oil vapours and the elements from roughening and greying the plastic, and gives the bay a clean, evenly cared-for finish. When the car gets valued — used-car sale, lease return or inspection — a cared-for engine bay makes a measurable difference to the overall impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne from day-to-day: PlasticCare is also brilliant for campers and commercial vehicles, where the engine bay often takes far more dirt than on a car. The solvent-free formula is harmless to rubber seals and cable sheaths in the bay — both materials that solvent-based preservers can attack. On electric and hybrid vehicles the gentle formula is a plus too, since sensitive high-voltage cable sheathing and electronic connectors don't get hit with aggressive chemistry. A clean, preserved engine bay signals at the MOT and at every garage visit that the car is looked after carefully — a detail that experienced inspectors and buyers spot straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic care compared — PlasticCare vs. XTREME plastic sealant vs. interior spray\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the PROFILINE PlasticCare, the SONAX range also has the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-kunststoff-versiegelung\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Kunststoff-Versiegelung\u003c\/a\u003e. The difference: the XTREME version is pitched as an end-user product and brings a ceramic sealing component aimed mainly at protection. PROFILINE PlasticCare, by contrast, is the choice for professional use, because it dilutes, comes in large packs (1 l, 5 l, 25 l) and covers engine-bay preservation on top of the care side. For daily use with dozens of cars a week, PlasticCare is the more economical and more versatile pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClassic interior sprays off the DIY-store shelf aren't a serious comparison. They're built almost entirely on silicone oil, throw out an artificial high gloss that's unwanted in professional detailing, and offer no real care or regeneration. In a detailing business they've got no place near a car — they leave residues that get in the way of a later ceramic coating and have to be removed with effort. PlasticCare, on the other hand, plays nicely with all the common coating systems and forms no problematic silicone layers. That's a key point for businesses that offer ceramic coatings alongside detailing: with PlasticCare you care for the plastic without buying yourself trouble for later coating work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers after a complete care system, the combo of PlasticCare for plastic, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger\u003c\/a\u003e for rubber and tyres, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-leatherprotection-lederpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LeatherProtection\u003c\/a\u003e for leather gives you seamless cover across every interior material. Each product is specialised for its material and delivers better results than a one-size-fits-all interior product that does everything \"a bit\". If you're not ready to build out a material-specific system like that, you can start with PlasticCare alone and already make a big jump in quality over universal products — then add the other specialists step by step as demand grows and customers start to appreciate the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare is aimed at detailing businesses, car dealers and garages that care for interiors and engine bays every day. The 5-litre pack is the most economical option for high-throughput operations — and the 25-litre drum is cheaper again for big businesses or detailing chains. Being dilutable with water makes PlasticCare one of the most economical plastic-care products on the market: a litre turns into three litres of ready-to-use solution at 1:2 dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor used-car detailers, PlasticCare is especially valuable, because it regenerates faded plastics fast and visibly — exactly what customers clock on their first look into the interior. A freshly detailed dashboard with a natural sheen gives the impression of a well-kept car, and that, in our experience, lifts the price you can ask noticeably. Paired with a thorough interior clean — say with SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar as a pre-cleaner — PlasticCare delivers the visual finish that marks the line between \"clean\" and \"detailed\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest note: PlasticCare is a care and preservation product, not a permanent seal. On heavily UV-exposed exterior plastics the effect fades after a few weeks and has to be redone. If you want a long-term solution for exterior plastics, use PlasticCare as the care base and set a ceramic coating over it. Inside, where UV exposure is lower, the effect lasts much longer. But for what it's built for — professional plastic care in the daily detailing run — SONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare is one of the most convincing solutions on the market: high yield, versatile, and a result you can be proud of. Interior, engine bay or exterior plastics — PlasticCare is the product that shouldn't be missing from any pro detailing kit. Once you've used it in the daily run, you'll quickly find that interior sprays and budget plastic dressings are done for — not because it's pricier, but because it simply works better and even comes out cheaper long term. The real difference shows not just in the instant result, but above all in how it lasts and how well it plays with the care steps and seals that come after.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57344841843023,"sku":"D1-SNX-2054050","price":18.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57344841875791,"sku":"D1-SNX-2055000","price":79.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 liters","offer_id":57344841908559,"sku":"D1-SNX-2057050","price":235.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare_1000ml.png?v=1774741150"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege","title":"PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" Plastic Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRescue weathered plastics and protect them for good — SONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can a deep plastic conditioner do that regular plastic care products can't? This silicone-free pro-grade deep conditioner from the PROFILINE line soaks deep into porous exterior plastics, brings faded black back to life and lays down protection that survives several shampoo washes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnpainted exterior plastics are one of the most common eyesores on a car: bumpers, sill trims, wheel arch flares and mirror housings fade over time from deep black to a dull grey — a dead giveaway of UV damage and neglect. A lot of care products only sit on top of the surface and wash straight off with the next rain or the next shampoo. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e goes deeper: the silicone-free gel formula works into the pores of the plastic, feeds the material from within and brings back the original depth of colour for good — with staying power that outlasts several washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep action, not a surface coating.\u003c\/strong\u003e The gel formula is built to work its way into the microporous structure of exterior plastics. Bare plastic has a porous surface that loses plasticisers over time — the result is fading and that grey, lifeless look. The PlasticProtectant sinks into those pores and feeds the material with conditioning agents that take over the plasticiser role and regenerate the surface from the inside out. A surface coating never gets that deep and wipes off the first time you touch it with a cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-lasting protection that holds through several washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e A common gripe with plastic dressings is how quickly they give up — one rain shower or one shampoo wash and the effect is gone. The PROFILINE PlasticProtectant is built for day-in, day-out pro use: the formula stands up to several pressure-washer passes and shampoo washes. For detailing shops that means you don't have to redo the plastics every time a car comes back in — a clear efficiency win over shorter-lived products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free formula — safe around paint, rubber and vinyl wraps.\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone in plastic dressings is a well-known headache in detailing shops: it oversprays onto paint, leaves panels unfit for fresh paint or wraps, and leaves residue on window frames that gets in the way of later glass coatings. The PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" contains no silicone — so you can use it right up against paintwork and seals without residue messing up the rest of your workflow.\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 For the best results, prep the plastic first — strip off dirt, old dressing residue and silicone left behind by previous products with a plastic cleaner or a mild APC. Old residue on the surface stops the PlasticProtectant from sinking in properly, and the effect ends up far weaker than on a clean substrate. Lay the product down thin on an applicator sponge or a soft cloth and work it into the surface. Less is more: a thin film does more than a thick coat that dries on top and goes streaky. Bring the plastic up to room temperature first — on ice-cold plastic the gel soaks in slower and tends to leave a surface film rather than working deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSilicone-free deep plastic care — how the Plastic Protectant brings weathered exterior plastic back to life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX's PROFILINE line stands for formulas with higher active concentrations than the consumer range — with the PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" that means a bigger share of the active conditioning agents that do the deep work. Those agents are low-molecular, i.e. small enough to get into the microporous structure of hard plastic. Standard plastic dressings often lean on silicones because they flash off fast and give instant gloss — but silicone doesn't get into the plastic, it just sits on top. The PlasticProtectant works instead with polar conditioning oils and polymers that are chemically at home with the polypropylene and polyamide plastics that dominate car construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV-protection components in the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e are the key to long-term care. UV radiation is the number-one cause of plastic fading: it breaks up the molecular chains at the surface, oxidises it and drives out the plasticisers that give the plastic its colour and flexibility. UV stabilisers in the formula absorb or reflect UV before it can damage the plastic. Using the PlasticProtectant regularly keeps building up that UV-protective film and holds the original depth of colour longer than going without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor badly weathered plastic that's already gone grey and brittle, a two-step job makes sense: first a plastic restoration with an abrasive deep-care product that mechanically takes off the oxidised layer; then the PlasticProtectant as the long-term-protection finish. On its own the PlasticProtectant can improve the look of very weathered plastic, but it can't take it all the way back to new if the damage has gone deep into the material. As a care product for well-kept or moderately weathered plastic, though, it's spot on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow it behaves varies a little by plastic type: polypropylene (PP), the most common exterior plastic on bumpers and sills, is fairly non-polar and takes the care formula well. Polycarbonate (PC) on headlight housings and some mirror covers is a touch smoother and more porous — here a second application after the first has soaked in can help push the deep action further. ABS plastics on trim pieces and exterior mouldings have a finer surface texture and, being less porous, take the PlasticProtectant up more slowly — so a longer dwell time (10–15 minutes instead of 5) works best before you wipe off the excess. The product is compatible with all common automotive plastics; even so, a quick spot test on a small area before the full job is worth it on older or unfamiliar plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing fine on rubber is a nice bonus: rubber on window seals, door frames and bumper edges also loses plasticisers to UV and ozone and goes brittle over time. You can put the PlasticProtectant on those rubber parts too and feed them the same conditioning components as the plastic. That keeps the workflow simple: one product for unpainted exterior plastic and the rubber right next to it, with no switching between products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the Plastic Protectant Exterior — application, thin coats and common mistakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the PlasticProtectant right starts with prepping the plastic: fully cleaned, dry and brought up to roughly room temperature. Put a small drop of the gel on a closed-cell foam applicator or a microfibre cloth and work it evenly into the plastic in small circular motions. The gel consistency lets you meter it out in a controlled way — it doesn't run, doesn't drip and stays put where you lay it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake in application: too much product at once. A thick film on the plastic looks intensely glossy at first, but it dries unevenly and leaves streaky, whitish patches once it's set. The right amount is far less than you'd expect — the product is meant to soak in, not sit on the surface. A second thin coat after the first has soaked in beats one thick coat. After applying, let it dwell for 5–10 minutes, then take off the excess with a dry, clean microfibre cloth and even out the sheen at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor bumpers with deep textures and honeycomb patterns, a fine detailing brush helps work the gel into the recesses. Textured exterior plastics have more surface area than flat parts and need a bit more product to match — but still lay it down thin so nothing dries up in the grooves. A common issue with bumper honeycomb is dressing drying in the corners and showing up as white residue once it sets. Thanks to its clear, gel-like formula the PlasticProtectant is less prone to white residue than silicone-based products — but overdo the application and it can happen here too. Lay it down thin and work out the excess: that's the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUV protection and durability — how many washes the protection lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow long the PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" lasts depends on a few things: how often you wash the car, the water temperature, the mechanical contact in a car wash and the car's sun\/UV exposure. Under normal conditions — a monthly wash, moderate sun — the built-up protection holds for 4–8 weeks at a level well above untreated plastic. Wash weekly or run it through heavy pressure-washing and durability drops off accordingly, but it still holds longer than surface-only rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pro detailing shops, the long-term effect means you don't have to redo the plastics on cars that come back within a few weeks. A car brought in for a full detail with its plastics treated with the PlasticProtectant stays in top shape for 4–6 weeks under the owner's normal use. That cuts down complaints about plastics fading fast and saves time day in, day out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that matters in practice: the first coat on badly weathered plastic often doesn't show the full result yet. Weathered, porous plastic drinks up that first coat of PlasticProtectant fast and fills the deepest pores; the gloss and depth of colour improve noticeably, but not to the max. A second coat once the first has fully soaked in (a third on very heavy weathering) takes the deep action to its best. Building it up like this — several thin layers instead of one thick one — is more efficient and gives a more even, deeper result than a single heavy application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that catch a lot of sun — say in countries with intense sunlight, or parked outside all summer — a monthly top-up makes sense. Heavy sun exposure uses up the UV-protection components faster, because they soak up the UV energy that would otherwise damage the plastic. A quick refresh takes only a few minutes per car and keeps the plastics safe from that greyish ageing effect for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" compared — vs. PlasticCare and vs. KunststoffGel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the SONAX plastic-care range there are clear positioning differences. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-plasticcare-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticCare\u003c\/a\u003e is also a PROFILINE product, but it's built for broader use on painted and unpainted plastics — more of an all-rounder, less specialised on deep action for badly weathered exterior plastics. For cars with mixed plastic surfaces (inside + outside, painted + unpainted) the PlasticCare is a handy one-product solution; for unpainted exterior plastics only, the PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" is the more focused pick with stronger deep action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne comparison point that often gets underrated in practice: the effect on matte plastics. Some modern cars come with matte or satin-finished exterior plastics from the factory (matte spoilers or mirror housings, for instance). On those surfaces a glossy plastic dressing would wreck the matte look you want and throw up shiny patches. Applied thin, the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant leaves a subtle, understated level of sheen — so with a very thin coat and thorough working-out it can go on matte plastics too without killing the matte look completely. For deliberately matte surfaces, though, a product made specifically for matte finishes — one that's guaranteed not to add gloss — is the safer bet. On normal, slightly glossy exterior plastics the PlasticProtectant is the go-to in the PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-xtreme-kunststoffgel-aussen-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX XTREME KunststoffGel \"Außen\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the consumer version for the same job: unpainted exterior plastics. It handles much like the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant but has a lower active concentration — ideal for the occasional user who dresses their car once or twice a year. The PROFILINE product is built for day-in, day-out pro use and packs more active density per application — which pays off far more on badly weathered surfaces and in shops running lots of cars a day than the consumer version does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor rubber care near window seals and door frames, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger\u003c\/a\u003e is the companion pick: it's formulated specifically to bring elasticity back into rubber and uses different actives than the PlasticProtectant. For the lower sill rubbers and window frames, a combo works best: PlasticProtectant for the plastic surfaces, GummiPfleger for the rubber seals right next to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying plastic care — who the SONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" is right for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first pick for pro detailing shops that work exterior plastics every day and need a long-lasting, silicone-free solution. One litre, applied thin, covers a lot of cars — the pack size is aimed at day-in, day-out pro use. For the private user with one or two cars who wants to keep their plastics looking their best for good, the 1-litre bottle is economical in the long run too: applied thin, you use very little per car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PlasticProtectant is especially relevant for owners of cars older than 5 years, since by then exterior plastics have lost a lot of their depth of colour without care — even if the car gets washed regularly. Hardest hit are cars whose exterior plastic has already faded noticeably — a grey spoiler, dull bumpers, bleached-out sill trims. One intensive treatment shows the difference straight away; regular care after that keeps the regenerated look going for good. As a verified SONAX dealer, Detailing1 keeps the PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\" permanently in stock in the 1-litre pack size for day-in, day-out pro use. The product is ready to go straight away — no dilution, no prep, straight from the bottle onto the applicator and off you go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57345086325071,"sku":"D1-SNX-2103000","price":24.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior_1liter.png?v=1774731882"}],"url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/collections\/profiline-kunststoffpflege.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
