A car care brand from Sigmaringen, Germany, making cleaners, polishes, protection products and accessories. You choose by work step: cleaning, polishing, protecting after the wash, or prepping for a curing coating. Which surfaces are approved is always stated on the individual product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eservFaces\u003c\/strong\u003e is the car care brand of the GmbH of the same name based in Sigmaringen, founded in 2014, offering cleaning products, polishes, surface coatings and care accessories. The manufacturer organises its range by function – cleaning, polishing, sealing and care – and runs series such as Hydro Ceramic across those areas. That's why a similar product name tells you nothing yet about how a product is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose by work step, not by product name.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cleaners, polishes, protection products and accessories belong to different stages of the job and aren't simply interchangeable. For Hydro Ceramic Shampoo, the manufacturer gives 20 to 35 millilitres per 5 litres of water. That figure belongs to that product and shouldn't be carried over to others without checking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe working window is part of choosing the product.\u003c\/strong\u003e How much time a product needs helps decide whether it fits your afternoon. According to the manufacturer, Hydro Seal is weatherproof after 2 to 3 hours and fully cured after 24 hours. Hydro Ceramic Wet Coat, on the other hand, is sprayed on, rinsed off immediately and then dried thoroughly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimits are stated on the individual product.\u003c\/strong\u003e Material approval sits with each item, not in a blanket brand rule. The double-sided cleaning pad is explicitly not intended for paint or high-gloss surfaces, and the leather cleaning foam isn't for nubuck, suede or rough leather. You'll find both on the respective product page.\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 Sort out two things before choosing a product: what protection is currently on the paint, and is the surface approved for the product you have in mind? Only then is the work step clear. A product that the instructions say to rinse off immediately isn't something you treat like a spray sealant you buff off, for which the manufacturer quotes 24 hours to full cure. Skip those two questions and you'll buy the wrong thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe brand organises its range by function, not by series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sigmaringen-based manufacturer gives 2014 as its founding year and splits its range into vehicle cleaning, polishes, sealing and care, plus accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat split isn't a marketing idea – it's how the work actually runs. A pre-cleaner loosens dirt, a polish removes material from the clear coat, a protection product lays a layer on top. Think in that order and you'll find the right product faster than by going by the name. Series such as Hydro Ceramic cut across these areas and bundle products with a sealing effect from different work steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing from servFaces, start with the car: are you dealing with paint, glass, leather or another surface? Then check the specific item for its area of use, dosage or application amount, working conditions and listed exclusions. A cleaner that suits one work step isn't an approval for every surface. If suitability is unclear, check with the manufacturer before you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this setup, accessories belong to the work steps, not to a leftovers category. Glass cleaning cloths for wet and for dry use have different fibre structures; according to the manufacturer, the waffle cloth for dry use can also be used damp. A removal towel for coatings, in turn, does a different job from a drying towel after the wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen drying, the towel plays its part. According to the manufacturer, the Premium Drying Towel is 80 percent polyester and 20 percent polyamide with long, twisted fibres, and comes in two sizes: 60 by 100 centimetres and 60 by 40 centimetres. For care, the manufacturer specifies washing at up to 60 degrees, without fabric softener and in a laundry bag. There's no mention of it being tumble-dryer safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis overview doesn't replace the product page. It answers the question that comes before choosing a product: which work step is actually up next? Once that's settled, all you check on the specific item is whether material, dosage and time window suit your car. Those three details are given product by product there and don't count as a brand rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrates and ready-to-use cleaners are dosed differently\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady-to-use cleaners and concentrates from the same brand differ in dosage and handling; check which product you're actually getting before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer offers bug remover, glass cleaner and all-purpose cleaner each as a ready-to-use version and as a concentrate. Carry the dosage of one over to the other and you'll either work too weak or waste product. The ready-to-use version goes straight from the bottle onto the surface without mixing; the concentrate gets diluted as the manufacturer specifies. They're separate items with their own item numbers, not two sizes of the same product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ready-to-use bug remover shows how specific instructions like this get. The manufacturer calls for a dry, cool surface, spraying from about 20 centimetres, 2 to 5 minutes' dwell time, gentle wiping and a generous rinse. On top come two conditions: don't work in direct sun, and don't let the product dry on. Those details belong to that item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior follows the same split. An all-purpose cleaner breaks down greasy everyday grime, a glass cleaner goes after film and streaks, a leather cleaning foam gets worked in over small areas and wiped off again. They aren't simply interchangeable, and the order inside matches the outside: loosen first, then wipe off, then protect. The leather cleaning foam mustn't dry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the cleaners, the type of dirt also matters. Reactive wheel cleaners work chemically against brake dust and show the reaction by turning reddish; a bug remover softens protein residue. The manufacturer flags the wheel cleaner as a new 2025 formula. So older application figures and specs from third-party sources don't necessarily match what's being shipped today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor where a pre-cleaner, a shampoo and a foam fit into the workflow across brands, see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/autowaesche\"\u003eCar wash\u003c\/a\u003e category. For washing microfibre, the manufacturer offers its own detergent. The right dosage is on the label of the container you receive; the textile's care limits are on its own product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolish and pad together decide how much gets cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA polish never works alone. Only the combination of compound and pad determines how much material comes off the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer grades its polishes from heavy correction to finishing and offers its own pad range for dual-action machines to go with them. Which grade suits which paint defect is stated on the respective item. Before buying, it pays to match things up: assess the paint first, then choose the grade, and confirm both on a small test spot before tackling the whole panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith pads, look at the dimensions. The foam diameter isn't the size of the backing plate; on the TS series, the hook-and-loop face at 80 or 130 millimetres sits below the foam diameter of 100 or 150 millimetres. Match backing plate, hook-and-loop and foam sizes, and check the approval for your machine, before you order. On the double-sided cleaning pad, the colours are just variants with no published difference in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow, polishing comes before protection. A freshly corrected surface gets cleaned afterwards and only then coated, because polish residue gets in the way of bonding. For curing coatings, the manufacturer specifies its own prep products and a fixed order. Which prep products are intended is in the instructions of the respective coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need to choose between a cutting compound and a finishing polish, the cross-brand \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/politur\"\u003ePolishes\u003c\/a\u003e category helps. It puts the grades from different manufacturers side by side. A cutting compound can leave fine polishing marks; a finishing polish is designed to refine the finish further. Whether one step is enough or you need two depends on the state of the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHydro Ceramic Shampoo, Foam and Wet Coat work differently\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Hydro Ceramic products from servFaces share a series name but differ in the job they do: Shampoo for the wash, Foam for foam application, Wet Coat as a rinse-off sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, the Shampoo is dosed at 20 to 35 millilitres per 5 litres of water and then used promptly. The Foam gets foamed up, dwells for 2 to 4 minutes and is then rinsed off hard. The Wet Coat goes on ready to use onto the cool, wet surface, gets rinsed off straight away and is then dried thoroughly. Three products, three routines – and the numbers aren't interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo details are tied to the product, not the series. For Hydro Ceramic Shampoo, the manufacturer's FAQ states that you need a pressure washer and normal mains water pressure isn't enough. For the Foam, the instructions specify a cool surface, 2 to 4 minutes' dwell time and then a hard rinse with a pressure washer. Neither must be allowed to dry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn matte paint, check the relevant manufacturer FAQ. For the Shampoo, the manufacturer mentions a deepening of colour and increased gloss on worn spots. For the Foam, the FAQ says matte paint is possible, but the surface can darken and existing shiny spots can stand out more. If you run matte paint, test first on an inconspicuous spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series name is also easy to misread. Products with a sealing effect are care products that leave a water-repellent film, not a curing ceramic coating. Hydrophobic means exactly that: water beads off instead of sitting flat on the surface. How long the effect lasts depends on the car, how often you wash and the weather; the manufacturer doesn't give a guaranteed duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rinse-off sealant after the wash is something different from a spray sealant you buff off, and both are different from a curing coating. Hydro Seal goes on thin and gets buffed off; it's weatherproof after 2 to 3 hours and fully cured after 24 hours. Those times are documented for Hydro Seal and shouldn't be carried over to other products without checking. For how the methods compare across brands, see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lackversiegelung\"\u003eLacquer sealing\u003c\/a\u003e category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial approval and weather are two separate limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether a product is allowed on a surface is a different question from the temperature and sun exposure it can be applied in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial approval is given product by product. The double-sided cleaning pad is explicitly not intended for paint and high-gloss surfaces, even though bug removal is listed as a use. The leather cleaning foam is meant for pigmented smooth leather and explicitly not for nubuck, suede or rough leather. Exclusions like these apply however carefully you work. Good technique doesn't cancel out a missing approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is the working conditions. Cool surface, shade, working panel by panel and no drying on crop up in the instructions of several products, from the pre-cleaner to the rinse-off sealant. With curing coatings, the time window also depends on amount, temperature and humidity. The exact values are in the instructions of each product. A temperature figure says nothing about material approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth limits apply side by side; neither replaces the other. A product used within the right temperature window on a material that isn't approved is still wrong, and an approved material won't stop a cleaner from drying on in the sun. That's why area of use and working conditions are listed separately on the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside these limits there's a sales restriction. The manufacturer distinguishes between items available to the public, products for trade customers and products that additionally require motor trade authorisation. That classification depends on the individual item and the container size. We therefore don't recommend trade-restricted coatings for private use, and a company registration alone doesn't replace motor trade authorisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExisting protection decides the next step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore choosing any product, ask what's on the paint right now: a wax layer, a sealant, a cured coating or none of those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree questions keep coming up in our customer conversations on this topic: whether a cleaner attacks an existing coating, whether a coating is worth it on a leased car, and how access to trade products works. For the technical choice, the car's condition, the existing protection and how long you plan to keep the car are what help. Access to trade-restricted items, on the other hand, depends on the specific item and container size and on proof of trade or motor trade authorisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the car just needs to be clean and the effort can stay small, a shampoo with a care effect and a good drying towel will do. If you polish the paint yourself and want longer protection, you work in separate steps: pre-clean, correction and protection. Both are legitimate choices, and the more involved one isn't automatically the right one. The first time, a routine like that takes longer than the fifth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith accessories, too, asking what the job is helps. For glass, the manufacturer offers two separate versions: a cloth for wet use with a fine fibre structure on both sides, and a waffle cloth for dry use that, according to the manufacturer, can also be used damp. They aren't size variants of the same cloth but different fibre structures for different work steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, three details carry the buying decision: the approved surface, the dosage or application amount, and the time window until the next step. They're stated on the specific item and don't apply to the brand as a whole. Compare those and you're deciding on solid ground. Compare only names and you're not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stumbling block isn't the brand – it's mixing up two routines. A product the instructions say to rinse off immediately isn't treated like a sealant you buff off, and a curing coating needs its own time window. Pin down the work step first with servFaces and check the material after that, and you don't need a product list in your head. That order decides the result.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"servfaces-wash-concentrate-high-concentrate-autoshampoo","title":"Wash Concentrate (High-Concentrate) Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eservFaces Wash Concentrate gets your paint properly clean without sealing it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is servFaces Wash Concentrate (High-Concentrate)?

Added conditioning agents are designed to boost gloss without cutting cleaning power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo groups of surfactants do the heavy lifting. Anionic surfactants, 15 to under 30 percent of the concentrate, detach dirt particles from the surface and build the foam. Non-ionic surfactants, under 5 percent, lower the surface tension so the water can wet and break down even greasy road film.

Glide the mitt over the paint in straight, overlapping passes. Never let the wash solution dry on; servFaces specifically advises against washing in direct sun. Otherwise the evaporating water leaves surfactant residue and water spots behind, and they're a pain to get off afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe last step in the servFaces instructions reads “rinse and neutralise”. In real life, that means rinsing with plenty of clean water until there's no wash solution left sitting on the paint.

First, matte paint and matte wrap: a shampoo that servFaces says boosts gloss is the wrong match for a finish that's meant to stay matte, and servFaces doesn't list any approval for matte paint. Second, the foam lance: in creator videos, the concentrate also goes on as a pre-wash foam, dosed by the capful. servFaces gives no mixing ratio for that, so for a touchless pre-wash, a dedicated snow foam is still the better bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're dosing, keep in mind that the undiluted concentrate carries the signal word Danger: it irritates the skin and can cause serious eye damage. That's why goggles and gloves are part of the job whenever you measure it out or decant it from the canister. We couldn't find an independent test of this shampoo in our research. The figures here come from the datasheet and the servFaces website, the hands-on tips from our day-to-day customer advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_servfaces-wash-concentrate-autoshampoo_ergebnis.jpg?v=1790720143\u0026width=1400\" alt=\"servFaces Wash Concentrate (High-Concentrate) during the rinse: clean paint next to the last foam, water sheeting off\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne litre of Wash Concentrate fills 50 buckets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15 to 20 millilitres per 5 litres of water, one litre of Wash Concentrate makes 50 to 66 buckets, and the 10-litre canister around 500 to 660.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat puts the cost per 5-litre bucket at roughly €0.27 to €0.36 from the bottle (1000 ml \/ 1 litre) and €0.19 to €0.25 from the canister (10 litres). Wash Concentrate is for you if you wash by hand regularly, your paint is coated, or you just want a shampoo that cleans. If you look after several vehicles, run a fleet or valet cars, the canister works out cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a weaker fit if you want to top up protection every time you wash; that's what sealant shampoos are for. Same story if you only run wax and want to squeeze every last bit of durability out of it, or if you mostly pre-wash with a foam lance. In those cases, you'll need a second product or a different shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to servFaces, the concentrate keeps for at least 12 months in its tightly closed original container. Store it at +10 to +25 °C, out of the sun and away from frost. Decant a working amount from the canister into a smaller bottle, so the rest stays closed and cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDosing is still the step that matters most. Older figures of up to 30 millilitres per 5 litres are still doing the rounds online for Wash Concentrate; servFaces now specifies 15 to 20. Stick to 20 millilitres and one litre gets you 50 buckets instead of 33. That's 17 more washes, with a third less surfactant going onto your paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_servfaces-wash-concentrate-autoshampoo_lineup.jpg?v=1790720149\u0026width=1400\" alt=\"servFaces Wash Concentrate (High-Concentrate) 1000 ml \/ 1 litre and 10 litres on wet paving after the hand wash\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58873000526159,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10054","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58873000558927,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10054-1","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-wash-concentrate-autoshampoo.png?v=1790721361"},{"product_id":"servfaces-reactive-cleaner-high-concentrate-vorreiniger","title":"Reactive Cleaner (High-Concentrate) Pre-Wash","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910387863887,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10052","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910387896655,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10052-1","price":130.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-reactive-cleaner-high-concentrate-vorreiniger.png?v=1790721116"},{"product_id":"servfaces-insect-remover-high-concentrate-insektenentferner","title":"Insect Remover (High-Concentrate) Bug Remover","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910392222031,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10053","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910392254799,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10053-1","price":124.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-insect-remover-high-concentrate-insektenentferner.png?v=1790721133"},{"product_id":"servfaces-rims-cleaner-high-concentrate-felgenreiniger","title":"Rims Cleaner (High-Concentrate) Wheel Cleaner","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910392320335,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10058","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910392353103,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10059-1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-rims-cleaner-high-concentrate-felgenreiniger.png?v=1790721177"},{"product_id":"servfaces-allround-cleaner-high-concentrate-allzweckreiniger","title":"Allround Cleaner (High-Concentrate) All-Purpose Cleaner","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910392451407,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10192","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910392484175,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10192-1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-allround-cleaner-high-concentrate-allzweckreiniger.png?v=1790721202"},{"product_id":"servfaces-special-cleaner-acidic-high-concentrate-spezialreiniger","title":"Special Cleaner \"Acidic\" (High-Concentrate) Acidic Specialty Cleaner","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910392549711,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10055","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910392582479,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10056-1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-special-cleaner-acidic-high-concentrate-spezialreiniger.png?v=1790721220"},{"product_id":"servfaces-special-cleaner-alkaline-high-concentrate-spezialreiniger","title":"Special Cleaner \"Alkaline\" (High-Concentrate) Alkaline Specialty Cleaner","description":null,"brand":"servFaces","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 litre","offer_id":58910393073999,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10056","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 litres","offer_id":58910393106767,"sku":"D1-SFV-SF10057-1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/servfaces-special-cleaner-alkaline-high-concentrate-spezialreiniger.png?v=1790721267"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/collections\/detailing1_scholl-concepts_logo_f2ab41d8-d91e-4b8c-8aff-5217792b4ab9.png?v=1769784772","url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/collections\/servfaces.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
