A cleaner needs dwell time, usually three to five minutes, for the actives to work their way under the dirt. Reach for the towel straightaway and you drag hard particles across the paint and pick up swirls — those fine circular scratches that show up like a spider's web in sunlight. And the other half of the same rule: never let the cleaner dry on. Work on a cool surface in the shade, spray panel by panel instead of the whole car, and rinse while the surface is still wet. Chemistry that dries in leaves edges that are harder to shift than the dirt was in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFour types of dirt, and its own chemistry for each\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bit of dirt on a car fits one of four groups, and each group has its own point of attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic is anything that once lived: bug splatter, bird droppings, pollen, tree sap. Behind it sit proteins and fats that break apart in an alkaline environment. Alkaline means the cleaner sits above pH 7 and saponifies the fats — turns them water-soluble. In practice you notice it when a dried-on bug front runs off on its own after a couple of minutes of dwell time, instead of smearing into streaks under the sponge. The products for that live under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003einsect removers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMineral is the opposite: limescale from hard tap water, water spots after drying in the sun, cement haze from the building site next door, road-salt residue in winter. These deposits are alkaline themselves, so an alkaline cleaner just bounces off. Here an acid does the work, converting the mineral into a water-soluble salt. Translated: that hard white spot becomes something that simply rinses away with the wash water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOily covers tar, bitumen, oil, silicone residue and adhesive left by badges or price stickers. Water and surfactants don't get far there, because the residue itself repels water. It takes a solvent that swells the stuff and lifts it. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-teerwaesche-a-tea-bitumen-teerentferner\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Teerwäsche A „Tea\" Bitumen- \u0026amp; Teerentferner\u003c\/a\u003e belongs in this group, as does the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-eulex-eu-klebstoffentferner\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Eulex „Eu\" Klebstoffentferner\u003c\/a\u003e for sticker residue and rubber transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic, finally, is fallout and brake dust. When you brake, glowing iron particles fly off the pad and burn into paint and wheels. An iron remover grabs those particles with an active from the thioglycolate family that wraps around each speck like a clamp and makes it water-soluble. Which means: what was burned in a second ago bleeds purple and runs off before you ever reach for a brush. That area has its own page under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flugrostentferner\"\u003eiron removers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rule of thumb behind it is simple. Chemistry beats chemistry; against the wrong chemistry only mechanics work — and mechanics on paint is always the pricier road. We often see customers buy the third product from the same group when the dirt actually belongs in another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe pH value tells you which cleaner bites\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you take one number away from this category, make it the pH value. It's rarely printed large on the label and it still decides between a result and damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlkaline cleaners sit above pH 7 and are the workhorse for organic dirt and road film. They cover most of a normal wash, from the pre-cleaner through the all-purpose cleaner to the wheel foam. The higher the value, the more fat falls — and the more attention the sensitive surfaces next to it need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcidic cleaners sit below pH 7 and are the answer to mineral deposits and stubborn brake dust. They work fast but forgive little. On bright-polished aluminium, on magnesium wheels and on chrome, too long a dwell time can etch the surface dull, and that damage doesn't come back. So with acidic products the rule is: cold wheel, short dwell time, rinse thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeutral cleaners around pH 7 hit softer and are gentler in return. They're the right call on anything carrying a coating: fresh ceramic sealants, wraps, anti-glare displays. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-mwc-felgenreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner „Mwc\" Felgenreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e shows the two can go together — acid-free by formula and still effective against baked-on brake dust, because it works through iron bonding rather than through pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tuga-chemie-alu-teufel-spezial-gruen-felgenreiniger\"\u003eTUGA Chemie Alu-Teufel „Spezial\"® (Grün) Felgenreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e follows the same logic and is our best-selling wheel cleaner outside the Koch-Chemie line. The colour change makes the effect visible, and the acid-free formula takes away the worry about polished wheel lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne limit belongs stated plainly here: no pH value on earth replaces dwell time, and no cleaner works better because you mix it stronger than stated. Overdosed concentrates leave surfactant residue that pulls moisture out of the air and binds fresh dust within days. We often get enquiries about supposedly poor cleaners that turn out to be a dosing question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the dirt sits helps decide the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe type of dirt tells you which chemistry you need. The substrate tells you which one you can afford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaint is the most delicate large surface on the car. The clear coat over it is only around 40 to 50 microns thick depending on the maker — about half a human hair. Anything that attacks or scratches it can only be corrected by removing material, and material is finite. So on paint we work with the mildest cleaners we can and rather give them more time. The products for chemical decontamination live under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lackreinigung\"\u003epaint cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlass takes a lot more and needs something else for it: no residue. A glass cleaner has to flash off fast and evenly, or you're left with streaks that show most with a low sun. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-glas-star-gla-glasreiniger-konzentrat\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Glas Star „Gla\" Glasreinigerkonzentrat\u003c\/a\u003e is the concentrate version for anyone doing lots of glass, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-glass-cleaner-gc-glasreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Glass Cleaner „Gc\" Glasreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e the ready-to-use one for in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWheels are the other extreme. There, heat, brake dust and road salt come together, and the surfaces are all over the place: powder-coated, painted, polished, chromed, matte. On painted OE wheels the product choice is uncritical; on polished and matte surfaces it turns critical straightaway. When in doubt, grab the acid-free iron remover and rather stretch the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExterior plastic and rubber — wheel-arch liners, trim, seals — take alkaline cleaners well and lose a little plasticiser on every pass. Without re-oiling afterwards, the door seal goes hard over the years. The protection step after that sits under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pflegeprodukte\"\u003ecare products\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the surfaces that don't slot into any specialist group, there are the all-rounders. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-allround-surface-cleaner-asc-allzweckreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner „Asc\" Allzweckreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e covers sills, floor mats, engine-bay covers and plastic add-on parts in one product.

Turn it around and you work twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt kicks off at the wheels, and before the car wash at that. Wheel cleaner tends to spray, and whatever lands on already-washed paint you have to take off again. A second reason: the cleaner needs the wheel cold, and you've got that at the start of the round more than after twenty minutes in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen comes the pre-cleaner on the dry, unwashed car. Its job isn't cleanliness, it's reduction: it lifts the coarse road film so your wash mitt drags fewer particles across the paint later. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-vorreiniger-b-vb-vorreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Vorreiniger B „Vb\" Vorreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e is our best-selling item at this stage, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-pre-foam-efficient-pfe-vorreiniger-insektenloeser\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Pre-Foam efficient „Pfe\" Vorreiniger \u0026amp; Insektenlöser\u003c\/a\u003e the version that takes on bug splatter at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly then comes the actual wash, with shampoo and two buckets. Everything you removed chemically beforehand can't set scratches now. The products for that live under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/autowasche\"\u003ecar wash\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the wash and before any protection step comes decontamination, and in this order: first the iron remover against fallout, then the solvent against tar, last the clay against the rest. The order isn't a ritual. Each step takes work off the next, and the clay lasts longer when it isn't dragged through tar spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight at the end comes building up, not taking off. A freshly decontaminated surface is at its most receptive and at its most unprotected. Day-to-day at Detailing1 we regularly see cars where the cleaning was meticulous and the protection step never came — four weeks later the paint looks like it did before, and the work was consumables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate or spray bottle — your usage decides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur range in this category is broad, and the weighting says something about the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX makes up by far the largest group and covers every price level, from the entry product to the PROFILINE line. Koch-Chemie follows as the second-biggest block and dominates the bestseller list in return. On top of that come GYEON, CarPro, Soft99, Meguiar's, D-CON and TUGA Chemie, each with smaller, clearly focused selections. The spread runs from the handy spray bottle to the jerrycan for the pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe revenue leader of the whole category is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Green Star „Gs\" Universalreiniger\u003c\/a\u003e, an alkaline concentrate that runs from a gentle interior cleaner to a punchy wheel and engine-bay cleaner depending on dilution. That very range explains its position: one jerrycan replaces three spray bottles, and you set the strength yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight behind it sits the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMehrzweckreiniger „Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e, set milder and so landing more often on the interior. Anyone who knows both uses the Green Star for outside and low down, the Mehrzweckreiniger for inside and up top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between concentrate and ready-to-use is a quantity question in the end. One car, two to four washes a year: spray bottle. Several cars in the household, monthly care or a used car being worked through once: concentrate. The price per litre is one thing, the flexibility in dosing the other and often the more important argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this category deliberately doesn't cover is polishes and sealants. A cleaner takes away, it lays nothing on. The moment dirt is no longer chemically soluble but sits in the paint, this page's job ends and the polish's begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThese three cleaners go in the cupboard first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're just starting out, you don't need a collection. Three products cover the everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, an alkaline pre-cleaner. It's the step with the biggest effect on paint condition, because it removes the particles your wash mitt would otherwise carry. Second, an acid-free wheel cleaner with a colour change that doubles as an iron remover on the paint, doing two jobs at once. Third, an all-purpose concentrate for everything that's neither paint nor glass nor wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor high-mileage drivers and commuters a fourth joins in: the insect remover. Between May and September it's the only cleaner you need weekly, and the sooner the remains come off the paint, the less the acids in them work at your clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor pros and anyone running several cars a day the maths look different. There the jerrycan pays off on the two most-used products, while the specialists against tar, adhesive and fallout stay in small containers. Those products see rare use, and opened solvents age faster than water-based cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're unsure, go by the problem, not the brand. Describe the dirt, slot it into one of the four groups, and the choice narrows on its own. What we keep seeing at Detailing1: most wrong buys don't come from bad products, but from dirt that belonged in another group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page is depth.

The Glass Compound Roll On fixes exactly that: the unique dual-compound formula with two different particle sizes cleans the glass right down to the bare surface — mechanically, thoroughly, and with no chemical residue. The handy roll-on applicator with its wide felt head makes it as easy to use as the coating products in the Glaco range: press it down, spread it, rinse it off.

The clever bit: two different particle types work at the same time. The small hard particles (think of a very fine cutting paste) break up grime mechanically — oil film, fluoride deposits from screen washes, limescale and silicone left by old coatings. The larger soft particles smooth the surface as they go and keep the hard particles from leaving micro-scratches. The result is glass that feels noticeably smoother after the treatment than it did before.

Shake the bottle hard before use so the compound particles spread evenly. Squeeze the bottle gently to feed compound onto the felt applicator, then run it over the whole pane in overlapping, straight passes. Use moderate pressure — you should feel the particles working across the surface. Go over each area two or three times, especially the wiper zones, where oil film and fluoride deposits build up the most. After the treatment, rinse the glass thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a clean microfibre cloth.

An \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on an unprepped pane typically holds four to six months. The same Ultra Glaco on a pane prepped with the Glass Compound easily reaches ten to twelve months. The reason: without prep, grime sits between the glass and the coating and acts as a weak spot — water gets in there and lifts the coating off in patches. With the compound the grip is even right across the surface, and the coating only thins slowly through mechanical wear (wipers, car washes) instead of flaking off in patches. That difference really shows with long-life coatings like Ultra Glaco or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e.

The Glass Compound Roll On is a pure, specialised glass cleaner built for maximum cleaning power: two different particle sizes, a high abrasive concentration, no coating component. The Glaco Q is a 2-in-1 product that pairs a milder compound clean with a hydrophobic coating. Day-to-day that means: for a first treatment or heavily soiled glass, the Glass Compound Roll On is the better call, because it cleans deeper and shifts more stubborn grime. The Glaco Q is plenty for lightly soiled glass and top-ups, and it saves you the separate coating step. The pro route: Glass Compound Roll On to clean, then \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eRoll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e as the coating.

It's worth it on new cars too: from the factory, glass often carries invisible residue from protective films, transport and cleaning agents that weaken a coating. On top of that, the Glass Compound Roll On is the go-to when you want to strip an old glass coating completely before laying down a new one.

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.

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=\"\/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.

The \u003ca href=\"\/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 — 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":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":13.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":20.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-291011","price":56.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":107.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1134.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger.jpg?v=1710769279"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-mwc-felgenreiniger","title":"Magic Wheel Cleaner \"Mwc\" Wheel Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eDissolve brake dust chemically on polished wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner?

The active ingredient ammonium mercaptoacetate, a salt of thioglycolic acid, reacts with the iron(III) compounds in brake dust and lifts them off the wheel surface as a red-violet complex. The colour change isn't a marketing gimmick but the chemical reaction itself: where you see violet, iron is being converted right then and there. With a pH of 5–6 the formula stays gentle on painted and polished alloy wheels, chrome and steel. The high viscosity of 50 mPa·s means the product clings to vertical wheel faces instead of running straight off — so you get the full dwell time on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed-violet colour change as a reaction indicator.\u003c\/strong\u003e No guessing how long to wait.

Warm surfaces let the gel dry on, and that leaves residue you then have to brush off. On heavily soiled wheels after months without cleaning, two short passes beat one long one: the active ingredient is chemically saturated after about 5 minutes. Just let it dwell twice for 3 minutes each and rinse in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold wheel. Spray.

Thanks to the syrup-like consistency the product clings vertically without you having to change how you work. Best to work bottom to top so you don't cover faces you've already wetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 to 60 seconds the colour change kicks in: first on spots with a lot of brake dust, then across the whole face. Red-violet streaks show you exactly where iron particles are being converted. After 2 to 5 minutes' dwell time the reaction is done — waiting longer gets you nothing, because the active ingredient is saturated after about 5 minutes. A common mistake is leaving the product on for 10 minutes hoping for better results. The opposite happens: the solution starts to dry on and leaves streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish by rinsing off with a strong jet of water from the pressure washer or garden hose, top to bottom. With heavy brake dust between tight spokes a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/zubehoer-felgenpflege\"\u003ewheel brush\u003c\/a\u003e can help spread the dissolved material — but not for scrubbing, just for touch-up. If you clean weekly to fortnightly, one pass usually does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on dosing: 500 ml lasts for about 10 full vehicle cleans. Per wheel, 40 to 50 ml is plenty. That works out to EUR 1.25 per full application — far more economical than the bottle price suggests, once you weigh it against the time spent mechanically scrubbing with less effective cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves iron particles. Not tar.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is built precisely for one job: dissolving brake dust and flash rust chemically. The reaction between ammonium mercaptoacetate and the iron(III) ions in brake dust is the mechanism — anything that isn't iron doesn't get touched. That explains the colour change as a diagnostic tool: no colour means no iron, and no effect in that case isn't a shortfall of the product but the right answer to the dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a secondary use, the Magic Wheel Cleaner also works on paint as a flash-rust remover — especially handy on vehicles parked under industrial fallout or next to railway tracks. Fine iron particles settle there on the clear coat and react with the MWC formula just like they do on the wheel. Used before polishing, it boosts the adhesion of any following wax or ceramic coating, because the paint surface is genuinely contamination-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the MWC isn't the right product: baked-on tar, bitumen spots and oily soiling don't react with thioglycolate salts. For that you need a solvent-based tar remover. On badly neglected wheels with months-old brake dust that has worked its way into the pores, the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-reactive-wheel-cleaner-rwc\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactive Wheel Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e can be the better call — its acid system is more powerful, though not suited to every wheel material. The choice is clear: when safety on chrome and polished wheels matters, MWC. When you need maximum cleaning power and you're working with alloy painted and steel, RWC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second case where no wheel cleaner in the world will help anymore: when the wheel is already visibly corroded or the clear coat has flaked off. At that point cleaning isn't the issue anymore — paint refurbishment is. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is a care product, not a restoration product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour standard for the regular wheel workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Wheel Cleaner is the right call for anyone who keeps their wheels on a regular schedule and wants a product where they don't have to think about material compatibility. One product, one step, all wheels done. That's workshop logic — and that's exactly what the MWC is formulated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt really plays its strengths when you look after several vehicles with different wheel types or work on a fleet. Instead of three cleaners for three wheel types, one does it. It's weaker on extremely baked-on brake-dust residue from high-performance brake setups, or on wheels that haven't been cleaned for months. In both cases a second pass or a more aggressive product makes more sense than extending the dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a complete solution the Magic Wheel Cleaner works best paired with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vorreinigung\"\u003epre-cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e like Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B, applied as foam over the whole wheel before the MWC goes into the spokes. Finish with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reifenpflege\"\u003etyre dressing\u003c\/a\u003e on the flank — and the complete wheel workflow comes in at around 15 minutes per vehicle, if you stay on it every two weeks. That's the most common combo our customers buy: Vorreiniger B + Magic Wheel Cleaner. A precise, repeatable routine that works without scrubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead to head with the acid-free classic SONAX FelgenBeast, the Magic Wheel Cleaner comes out ahead on two counts: the higher viscosity means longer contact time on the wheel, and the workshop formula is dosed stronger for commercial use. The FelgenBeast has a milder smell, though — if you work in a closed garage you'll definitely notice that. The Magic Wheel Cleaner is the workshop standard. The FelgenBeast is the garage all-rounder. Both do their job reliably; the question is which one fits your working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"500 ml","offer_id":48503670374735,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500","price":13.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 500ml","offer_id":49725159276879,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_2","price":29.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 500ml","offer_id":49725159342415,"sku":"D1-KCX-425500_3","price":43.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48503670407503,"sku":"D1-KCX-425010","price":123.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-magic-wheel-cleaner-saeurefreier-felgenreiniger.jpg?v=1776410618"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-allround-surface-cleaner-asc-allzweckreiniger","title":"Allround Surface Cleaner \"Asc\" All-Purpose Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReady-to-use and streak-free through the cabin with the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner?

The mist from the spray bottle works its way into display edges, button gaps and speaker grilles, where it settles as a fine film you won't get back out later. Instead, lay down 2–3 squirts on the folded face of your microfibre cloth and work from there onto the surface. Only on big, closed panels like door cards or the headliner do you spray straight onto the part — there the mist doesn't matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray, wait 30 seconds, microfibre after\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner undiluted onto the surface from about 10–15 cm, let it dwell for 15–30 seconds and wipe down with a clean microfibre cloth. That's all the prep it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger panels like the dashboard, door cards or headliner, three to five squirts per part is plenty. Give the cleaner a moment to break down skin oils, fingerprints and the dust-binding layer, then wipe down evenly with the dry side of your cloth. For vents, buttons and trim strips you spray onto the cloth first and work from there into the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the headliner with extra care: only dampen the cloth, never spray the part directly. The headliner fabric mustn't get soaked, or the adhesive underneath lets go. With the ASC you work in broad, long passes so no dry edges form between the damp and the untreated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is too much product and too long a dwell time. When the ASC flashes off, fine streaks stay behind that you then have to re-wet and wipe away — an avoidable extra round. So work panel by panel rather than across the whole surface, and keep the dwell time under a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a cleaning gun like the Tornador or Cyclone you can also work the ASC into textiles, seat seams and door pockets, where the cloth alone won't reach. The pH-neutral formula is built for it: it lifts the dirt into foam and picks back up with little residue. With the gun method, follow up afterwards with compressed air or a thirsty cloth so no moisture stays trapped in the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/asc_2_anwendung.jpg?v=1775896038\" alt=\"ASC sprayed onto a microfibre cloth in front of a car interior\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths and limits of the ASC day-to-day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is pH-neutral and ready-to-use.

That's deliberate in the formula, not a shortfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn typical everyday dirt the Allround Surface Cleaner pulls its weight: skin oil on the wheel, fingerprints on the touchscreen, a dust film on the centre console, pollen blown into the A-pillar, white specks on black plastic. That's what the product was made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn coated leather, piano black and gloss trim the neutral pH is an extra safety net that takes away the material guesswork that always rides along with alkaline interior cleaners. You don't have to think before every use about whether the product suits the material — on normal plastic, glass and leather surfaces in the car the ASC is a safe call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the ASC won't do: it won't shift old nicotine films, an oily workshop grip on the door frame or coffee stains baked into the fabric. Badly yellowed plastics on the sill or a dried cola splash in the cup holder need more muscle too. If your cabin gets cared for regularly, the Allround Surface Cleaner is your product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're prepping a lease return or getting a used car ready to sell, grab the alkaline \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eheavy-duty cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and then use the ASC afterwards on the finer surfaces like displays, leather and gloss trim.

A full interior detail on a passenger car burns through 80 to 150 ml of product. So the 10-litre canister is good for around 60 to 120 full details, depending on how dirty the cars are and how you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASC is less of a fit when you're mainly dealing with extreme cases — smoker cars, mouldy seats, dried coffee on microfibre seat covers, paint and grease splatter out of the service bay. For that there are dedicated products in another league, and there the mild pH is more of a drawback than a plus.

You spray it on as a pump mist over the pre-cleaned, still-wet engine bay, where it pushes out the residual water and cross-links after 6 to 8 hours into a dirt-repellent, wafer-thin layer. Unlike classic engine-shine sprays, Motorplast skips propellants and silicone, which is what clears it for use in body shops (no painter's fisheyes) and on Mercedes-Maybach models (official factory approval).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe look stays deliberately satin-matt rather than high-gloss — the surface keeps its original character, the protection is physically there without the engine looking like it has just been oiled up.

Lay down puddles instead of a fine mist and you stretch the drying time well past the usual 6 to 8 hours, the polymer cures unevenly and leaves milky edges or tacky spots. The clean routine: let the engine cool to hand-warm, pre-clean with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star\u003c\/a\u003e at 1:10, rinse off with a soft water jet, mist Motorplast thinly into the still-wet bay, close the bonnet and let it sit overnight. Tap any leftover pools the next morning with a dry microfibre cloth. It's self-levelling — no working in with a pad needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on wet. Bonnet shut. Dry overnight.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray Motorplast onto the pre-cleaned, still-wet engine bay because the residual water carries the polymers right into the tight gaps before the product itself pushes it back out. That's pro technique straight from the Daimler factory-norm test, not a marketing slogan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you apply, let the engine cool down — hand-warm is ideal, boiling hot is not. On a block sitting at 130 °C oil temperature after a motorway run, the water-glycol-ether mix flashes off instantly and burns the polymers into the plastic as streaks. The officially approved heat window is 250 °C component temperature — that's for the cured film, not for the moment you apply it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a mid-size car, reckon on 50 to 200 ml. Work sparingly from about 20 cm away with the spray head and go systematically from back to front — valve cover, fuse box, then intake manifold, then the visible hoses and seals. You can reach awkward spots with a Cyclone or Tornador gun at 4 to 6 bar; in the home garage the supplied spray head does the job. Keep the mist away from open intake tracts and mass airflow sensors — those hot-wire sensors react badly to polymer coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it's on, close the bonnet and let it sit 6 to 8 hours, ideally overnight. Day-one test: check the next morning whether any pools or drips are still holding. If so, tap them with a dry microfibre cloth — don't rub. The film is self-levelling and needs no mechanical spreading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-motorplast-mp-motorkonservierung_anwendung.png?v=1777464474\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Motorplast Mp being sprayed onto a wet engine bay Detailing1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic, rubber, ancillaries.

On these substrates the permanently elastic polymer film forms, holding off dirt build-up by months and slowing road-salt corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard limits are friction- and safety-critical. Drive belts, V-belts and pulleys are off-limits — the polymer layer cuts the grip friction, the belt slips and worst case the alternator drops out. For the same reason, keep it off brake components, brake disc faces and the pedals. On body paint, overspray leaves streaks and is pointless there anyway — Motorplast is no paint sealant. Any mist that lands on an inner wing or bumper edge, wipe it off straight away with a damp microfibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf too much product did end up in the bay and milky streaks have formed, a stripping routine with an alkaline cleaner sorts it: spray \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star\u003c\/a\u003e on generously at 1:10, foam it up with a soft detailing brush, rinse off.

Twice a year is plenty.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical rhythm for Motorplast is twice a year — once in spring after the salt season and once in autumn before winter sets in. In between, dusting the plastic covers with a microfibre cloth is enough. Detailing shops slot the product into their winter-check packages, because 5 minutes of work buys 6 months of corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 ml spray bottle is the right call for a single car or for hobbyists getting seasonal vehicles like convertibles or classics ready for spring. Per treatment 50 to 100 ml — so the bottle carries you across several seasonal cycles. For multi-car households or commercial detailers the 5 litre canister pays off: noticeably lower price per litre, just decant it into a separate \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie\u003c\/a\u003e cylinder bottle with a spray head. 20 and 200 litre containers are pure industrial variants for workshop groups and OEM supplier chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage is fussier than with many other detailing products: Motorplast keeps at +5 °C to +25 °C, frost-free and out of the sun. Frost breaks down the polymer emulsion and the product won't spray cleanly afterwards. It's fine in the garage or the stockroom — just don't let it overwinter in the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply Motorplast properly once — cold engine bay, wet pre-clean, thin mist, bonnet shut overnight — and you get an engine bay that looks the same after winter as it did before.

The \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Cosmo-Clean \"Cc\"\u003c\/strong\u003e was built for exactly this commercial-grade load. The mildly alkaline formulation cuts through grease, oil and dirt residue without harsh solvents — NTA-free and with no halogenated compounds. There's a practical reason for that: solvent-free cleaners play far better with light-liquid separators, which is often a hard requirement in commercial workshops and industrial halls. The chosen mix of wash-active agents and phosphates still delivers outstanding cleaning power even at high dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilution ratios and where you'll use them day-to-day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cosmo-Clean's strength is just how far you can dilute it: on lightly soiled office and admin floors you mix the concentrate 1:60 to 1:300 — a sparing dose that makes the 11 kg canister go even further. For heavily soiled workshop and industrial floors, Koch-Chemie recommends a 1:40 to 1:120 dilution for machine or manual cleaning. So you dial in the dose to match how dirty the floor is, no swapping products. Using it couldn't be simpler: lay the concentrate down on the surface, let it dwell depending on the dirt, then rinse off with a scrubber-drier, a steam jet or a pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety aspects — what \"safety cleaner\" actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"safety floor cleaner\" isn't marketing fluff, it's a technical classification: the product is fast-separating to ÖNORM 5105 and therefore suited to wastewater systems with light-liquid separators. In a car workshop or industrial hall that's often a legal requirement — cleaners mustn't overload the oil separator with surfactant concentrates. The Cosmo-Clean meets those requirements. The slip-resistant effect is another safety factor: floors that are still wet are a real accident risk when you're working with other cleaners — the Cosmo-Clean cuts that risk right down thanks to its special formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e For detailing shops, the Cosmo-Clean really shines for cleaning the floor after polishing work, once polishing dust has settled onto it. The low-foaming formula also makes it a great match for scrubber-driers — no foam overflow inside the machine. Mixing it up in a dosing sprayer makes it easier to lay down evenly across big areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCosmo-Clean vs. Green Star — when to reach for which?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the Cosmo-Clean, the Koch-Chemie range also offers the Green Star BMP as an all-purpose cleaner. The difference comes down to where you use them: the Cosmo-Clean is built specifically for floor cleaning — mildly alkaline, slip-resistant and gentle on floor sealants. The Green Star is a broader all-purpose cleaner — for vehicle surfaces, engines, wheels and floors, but without that specific slip-resistant property. If you only clean floors and have to meet safety requirements (ÖNORM, light-liquid separators), the Cosmo-Clean is the one to grab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Cosmo-Clean the right pick for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cosmo-Clean is aimed at car workshops, dealerships, detailing businesses and industrial operations that regularly clean large floor areas and have to keep an eye on both cleaning power and legal wastewater requirements.

We often get messages like \"the glass cleaner leaves streaks\". Usually the wiping happened on a warm pane in the sun, where the film flashes off before the cloth lifts it. Work on a cold pane in the shade and go by the two-cloth rule: lift the dirt with 1 damp cloth, then buff dry in straight passes with a dry glass cloth. More product doesn't clean better, it tends to leave edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on neat, pull it off streak-free with two cloths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Glass Cleaner \"Gc\" on neat from 20 to 30 cm onto the cold, shaded pane and pull it off with a dry microfibre glass cloth in straight passes. That way no film of water is left standing to flash off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the cleaner lifts bug splatter, pollen and the greasy road film. With a baked-on bug front, let the cleaner soak for about 30 seconds and only then pull it off, rather than scrubbing harder. That goes easy on the glass and on the wiper blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, it's about the greasy film off-gassing from the dash and about nicotine. If you want to \u003cem\u003eclean your car windows from the inside\u003c\/em\u003e, spray sparingly onto the cloth rather than straight onto the glass, so no mist drifts onto a display or a vent. With a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-rag-company-diamond-280-gsm-mikrofaser-glastuch\"\u003emicrofibre glass cloth\u003c\/a\u003e especially, the cloth quality decides whether the loosened dirt gets picked up or just smeared around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second, bone-dry pass over the finished pane lifts the last haze out. That's exactly the step most people skip, and that's exactly where you get the streaks you spot later in backlight. A good glide additive makes the difference here between any old cleaner and a real car glass cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy the cold pane? The additive only works its glide as long as the film is liquid. On hot glass the water flashes off too fast, the cleaner grabs and the cloth just pushes the dirt around. In the shade or early in the morning you've got that window of time. Wash new microfibre cloths once without softener before they ever touch glass too, otherwise they carry sizing onto it that pulls streaks all by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-glass-cleaner-gc-glasreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1780006597\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Glass Cleaner Gc being sprayed on a car window and pulled off with a microfibre cloth\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Gc is built for and what it isn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gc cleans glass, it doesn't seal it and it doesn't belong in the washer reservoir.

One verified customer puts it well: with stubborn dirt you need 2 to 3 passes rather than scrubbing under pressure. A short soak and another pull is gentler and quicker in the end, because you avoid scratches you'd have to polish out later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-fog protection is something the Gc deliberately leaves out. It gets you clean, clear glass, but against fogging from the inside only an anti-fog treatment helps for the long run. Clean glass does fog up far more evenly though, and so far less of a bother than a greasy film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the car the Gc cleans mirrors, interior and exterior, motorcycle visors, instrument glass and smooth surfaces around the house like tiles or stainless steel. The only place to be careful is on matte anti-glare nav and instrument displays: there you always spray onto the cloth and work with little pressure, so the coating doesn't suffer. On clear glass and glossy plastic headlights it works with no restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a smoker's car a tacky nicotine film settles on the inside glass, scattering the light and making everything look yellowed.

The commuter grabs the 1-litre bottle, the detailer the 10 or 20-litre container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass cleaners are in highest demand in spring: pollen and bug season drives demand about 40 percent over the quiet winter level. If you've got a bottle in the boot now, you clean the windscreen on the road instead of driving into the low sun with a pollen film and streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day the difference shows in the details: no streaks in backlight, no haze on the inside glass that turns oncoming headlights into stars at night. If you drive a lot with the sun low or in the dark, you notice a streak-free pane straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gc is fuss-free on cost: 1 litre ready-to-use lasts many weeks of commuter life depending on how much you spray, and decanting the 10-litre container into a spray bottle costs you far less per litre. Store the cleaner frost-free and the spray function stays reliable across the whole shelf life. An opened bottle in the car survives the summer heat better if it isn't left baking in full sun all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often you clean depends on your driving: if you commute daily, keep the windscreen clear inside about every 2 weeks and outside as needed with pollen or bugs. High-mileage drivers and detailers with several cars a day get the most out of the big container and a spray bottle fixed to the trolley. That turns reaching for the car glass cleaner into routine rather than the exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one trick hardly anyone does and that stops most streaks: clean the inside first, then the outside, and pull horizontally inside, vertically outside.

Always dilute in the bottle first and start at 1:10. If that does the job, dial down to 1:20 next time. The most common mistake we see day-to-day: people run the dilution too strong and end up with white patches on dark plastics because the alkalinity has attacked the surface. Two passes at 1:10 give you a better, more even result than one pass at 1:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 on the headliner. 1:50 on the door handle.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr works as a concentrate that you dilute fresh for every job.

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=\"\/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. It's a tool for jobs where you need to clean deep — smoker's cars, used-car prep, workshop floors, industrial machines. If those are your jobs and you're up for dilution and PPE, you get an \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e that comes in at under €0.50 per car — hard to beat at that price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_lineup.png?v=1776196804\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Mzr 1 litre bottle and 11 kg drum on cobblestone in front of the warehouse with a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48762462536015,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49536037454159,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001_2","price":17.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49536037486927,"sku":"D1-KCX-86001_3","price":26.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48762460307791,"sku":"D1-KCX-86011","price":79.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49536024772943,"sku":"D1-KCX-86021","price":146.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49536024805711,"sku":"D1-KCX-86225","price":1647.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger.png?v=1714922290"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-reinigungsknete-rkr-abrasiv-rot-clay-bar","title":"Cleaning Clay \"Rkr\" Abrasive \"Red\" Clay Bar","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Cleaning Clay \"Rkr\" Abrasive – Clay Bar (Red)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Cleaning Clay \"Rkr\" Abrasive\u003c\/strong\u003e is the tool you reach for when a surface is heavily contaminated and needs a proper deep-clean before polishing or sealing. It pulls stubborn deposits like tree sap, bug splatter, fallout, industrial dust, overspray and tar off smooth surfaces such as weathered paint and glass without manhandling them.
