The Soft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a specialised glass cleaner with dual-compound technology: a mix of small hard and large soft abrasive particles pulls off even the most stubborn grime like oil film, fluoride deposits and old coating residue — the perfect prep for getting the most life out of any Glaco glass coating.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the prep product of the Glaco range — and with that the most important step most drivers skip. A glass coating can only bond as well as the glass underneath it is clean. Oil film from traffic, fluoride deposits from old screen washes, silicone residue and wiper smear all build an invisible barrier that drastically cuts the lifespan of even a high-end coating. 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. With 100ml in the bottle, one goes a long way, since each windscreen only takes a few millilitres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-compound technology with two particle sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The mix of small hard particles and larger soft particles gives you a twofold cleaning action: the hard particles break up stubborn deposits while the soft particles polish the surface smooth at the same time.

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. That smoothness isn't just about looks — it's what lets hydrophobic coatings like \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\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e form an even, gap-free layer of protection. Without that prep, coating molecules settle unevenly: the coating grabs on the clean spots and not on the dirty ones — and you end up with patchy beading and a shorter lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On properly — optimal glass prep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the \u003cstrong\u003eGlass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e starts with a rough pre-clean: rinse the glass with water to get rid of loose dirt, sand and dust — otherwise those particles can leave scratches during the compound step. 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. Important: don't use a glass cleaner after the compound — a lot of glass cleaners leave residue of their own that gets in the way of the coating's grip. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the exception here, since it's formulated specifically for the Glaco range and leaves nothing behind that would harm the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the glass prep makes the difference — lifespan and result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eglass prep with the Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most underrated factor in glass coating. What we see day-to-day at Detailing1 is that a clean base prep doubles how long any coating lasts. 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.

That's why Green Star is the go-to APC in plenty of workshops and detailing shops that want a single cleaner for the engine bay, the lift, the workshop floor and exterior plastics — not because it's the best at any one of them, but because it hits the right balance between cleaning punch and material safety across that whole bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_hero.png?v=1775995591\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs bottle and canister on a concrete wall in front of a white Ferrari 296 GTB\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne chemistry, four dilutions.\u003c\/strong\u003e The mix ratio decides the job: 1:5 for the workshop floor and heavily oiled engine bays, 1:10 as a wheel pre-cleaner and bug remover, 1:20 for exterior plastics and rubber care, 1:50 for routine maintenance cleans in the customer reception.

Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline.

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.

Knock the heavy dirt, bugs and bird muck off with the pressure washer first. A quick clear-water rinse beforehand takes 30 seconds and saves the clear coat from needless swirls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInto the foam lance goes 20 ml of Gsf per litre of water, which is about 1:50. Lay the foam on bottom to top so the run-off doesn't draw clean streaks through the dirt. Let it dwell 4–6 minutes, shorter in the sun — the foam mustn't dry on, or it'll leave streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse top to bottom thoroughly with clear water. Foam left in the panel gaps points to too little water pressure or too short a rinse.

Gsf sits at 7.5, Green Star at around 11. On uncoated paint that doesn't matter; on a ceramic coating it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudies and hands-on testing show it: strongly alkaline cleaners above pH 10 break down the topcoat of ceramic coatings measurably faster. If you want to get 12 or 24 months of life out of your coating, you're better off with a pH-neutral weekly wash. The Gsf is built for exactly that — ongoing care instead of a one-off deep clean. The coating's hydrophobic effect stays intact, and the water beads after the wash just like it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Gsf hits its limits: baked-on bugs on the front end, tar spots on the sills, brake dust on the wheels or hardened pollen — it won't shift those.

The logic is simple: clean gently and often rather than aggressively and rarely. If you make the wash a fixed weekly habit, the Gsf takes you furthest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less of a fit for body shops, seasonal cars coming off a long lay-up, or the spring clean after winter — there active foams with a higher pH have the edge, because the dirt is long past what the Gsf can dissolve. And if you don't own a foam lance and only run a pressure sprayer, the Gsf will give you foam, but never the consistency and dwell time of a proper lance on a pressure washer. For that case a spray-on pre-cleaner makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre bottle covers around 50 washes, the 5-litre can 250. If you look after more than one car or work in a detailing studio, the 5-litre container runs about 30 percent cheaper per wash. Pair it with a pH-neutral shampoo like the Koch-Chemie Nanomagic Shampoo or GYEON Q² Bathe+ for the two-bucket wash, and a drying towel to finish, and you've got the full weekly workflow for a well-kept car — from the first jet of water to the last drop, without ever attacking your coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature cherry scent is a matter of taste, but it rarely divides opinion — most detailers find it a lot more pleasant than the soapy standard smell of many competitor products. In closed garages or wash bays the smell doesn't linger after rinsing, which is a handy detail in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst time you run the Gsf, don't be stingy with the dose. 20 ml per litre is the floor for a visible foam blanket. On really dirty cars or with hard tap water, go a pump higher. The extra 4–5 cents a wash is nothing next to a weaker result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame goes for the water pressure at the washer: under 100 bar the foam stays thin; from 130 bar it turns creamy and sits thick on the paint. Running a Kärcher K7 or similar, you can crank the lance to maximum foam output. With portable battery washers the foam comes out noticeably flatter — not a product fault, just a question of pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more tip from what we see at Detailing1: before each seasonal wash in spring and autumn, swap the Gsf for an active-foam wash with Green Star. That way no pollen film and no winter salt gets a foothold — the kind the pH-neutral foam can't shift over time. The other 50 weeks of the year, the Gsf runs as your standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStick to that routine properly and even a 5-year-old coating still beads visibly — and that's exactly the point of pH-neutral care: keeping what you've got instead of constantly re-applying the coating. The pricier line in any detailing budget is always the coating itself, not the shampoo. With the Gsf you stretch the life of the coating — at minimal running cost and maximum compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_lineup_71190d38-c132-4a2c-b491-318ab5c6d172.png?v=1778657758\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf – 1000 ml bottle and 5 L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494571192655,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001","price":13.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693842255,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_2","price":29.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49672693875023,"sku":"D1-KCX-383001_3","price":43.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48494571225423,"sku":"D1-KCX-383005","price":55.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf-reinigungsschaum_bef958d2-c483-4332-ab33-56ecc2f968ac.png?v=1778623445"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-finish-spray-exterior-fse-quick-detailer-kalk-ex","title":"Finish Spray Exterior \"Fse\" Quick Detailer with Kalk-EX","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eDissolving limescale chemically with the Koch-Chemie FSE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie FSE?

The pH of 2.5 doesn't only dissolve lime — it also eats into waxes and polymer sealants. Right order: apply FSE on the lime spots first, buff dry, then wax or sealant. Run the FSE as your everyday quick detailer on freshly sealed paint and you're actively stripping your LSP. Hardly any shop tells you that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Koch-Chemie FSE on a cool surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Finish Spray Exterior only works reliably on cool, dry surfaces. On hot metal after direct sun the spray flashes off too quickly and leaves residue instead of removing it. Pull the car into the shade first and give it five minutes. If the surface still feels clearly warm to the touch, don't start yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray it straight onto the surface or into the microfibre cloth — 2–3 pulls per panel either way. The FSE ships without a trigger head; a pressure sprayer like the Canyon CHS-3AN (available as a bundle option) makes the application more even and stops you over-dosing. Work it in with a soft \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mikrofasertuecher\"\u003emicrofibre cloth\u003c\/a\u003e and buff off with a dry second cloth. The two-cloth method keeps streaks away, because the first cloth picks up dirt and lime while the second one only buffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn stubborn limescale on glass, let it dwell for 30–60 seconds before you buff. On paint, working it straight in without extra wait time is enough. Glass benefits the most: the FSE pulls water spots off your windows that pH-neutral quick detailers can't shift. Ordinary sprays only move the lime around visually — the acidic Kalk-EX formula breaks the mineral bond down chemically. On the rear window and side glass the method works exactly as it does on the windscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wash in regions with very hard water, you know the problem: even after careful drying, fine lime residue stays behind. That's when the FSE belongs straight into your routine after drying off — one shot onto the still slightly damp cloth covers whole panels. That stops lime from baking in and having to be removed the hard way later. On black and dark paint you spot lime residue instantly — that's where it pays to do it after every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-finish-spray-exterior-fse-quick-detailer-kalk-ex_anwendung.png?v=1776464226\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie FSE applied to car paint with a microfibre cloth\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt dissolves lime.

That's its strong suit and the reason detailers and detailing shops keep it close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn vehicles with a ceramic coating or a long-life nano coating it's a different story. The pH of 2.5 can attack the cross-link structure of SiO₂-based coatings and cut their lifespan right down. If you're looking after an active ceramic coating, reach for a pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/quick-detailer\"\u003ecoating-safe quick detailer\u003c\/a\u003e instead. If you only have wax protection or no sealant at all: the FSE is the faster and more effective answer than a pH-neutral spray that doesn't dissolve lime but only moves it around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo more limits of the FSE: tar, bitumen spots and bug splatter don't react to acidic chemistry — for those you need a solvent-based product. And on baked-in limescale that has already etched into the clear coat, the FSE hits its ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt dissolves fresh mineral deposits reliably, but not paint damage from lime that has been left to sit too long. In that case you need a light polish first to fix the damage. After that the FSE protects reliably against new deposits during ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure whether your car has a sealant: water beading on the paint after rain is a good sign of an active LSP. In that case work with a pH-neutral quick detailer and use the FSE only on lime spots on glass or plastic, where coatings are rarely applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e“Great product.

At a normal dose of 2–3 pulls per panel, 1 litre covers around 40–60 applications on a mid-size car — that works out to well under 30 cents per application.

And anyone who mainly needs to remove tar or bug splatter comes up empty here too — the FSE isn't an all-purpose cleaner, it's a lime specialist with a conditioning effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo round out the lime workflow we suggest a top-up wax or a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spruhversiegelung\"\u003espray sealant\u003c\/a\u003e after the FSE pass, if the car has no active LSP. The FSE cleans and leaves a light polymer protection behind, but it doesn't replace a full seal. If you want more durability after the lime treatment, finish the workflow with a spray sealant — the surface is then not just lime-free but protected too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Detailing1 insight: plenty of quick detailers promise limescale removal but only deliver a pH-neutral gloss film that visually masks the lime. The FSE is one of the few quick detailers on the German market that uses real acid-base chemistry at pH 2.5 to remove lime. The difference is visible: on heavily limed-up glass the FSE dissolves water spots in one pass that other sprays need three or four goes at. That's not a marketing claim, it's chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're choosing between the Koch-Chemie FSE and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-quick-finish-qf-quick-detailer\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Quick Finish QF\u003c\/a\u003e: the QF is pH-neutral and coating-safe, made for vehicles with active protection. The FSE is the right pick when limescale is the main problem and there's no active coating. Lime: FSE. Coating: QF.

An acid-free, viscous wheel cleaner from Koch-Chemie's workshop line that visibly dissolves brake dust and flash rust chemically via a red-violet colour change.

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. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the Magic Wheel Cleaner onto the cold, dry wheel — cover spokes, barrel, the rim edge and the wheel bolts evenly. 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?

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.

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.

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.

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. That's the Detailing1 standard: not shine in the shop window, but an engine that still runs like new after three winters.

Lukewarm water (25-30 °C) cuts through dirt noticeably faster than cold, and the foam should sit on a panel for 60 to 90 seconds at most before you rinse. Work in full sun and let the foam dry on, and you'll pull water spots and streaks onto the paint, which happens with any shampoo, not just As.

For dirtier cars after a long motorway run or van use, step up to 1:10 (around 100 ml in 10 litres); for cars parked outside all the time with baked-on pollen and bird mess, go to 1:5 (200 ml in 10 litres).

If the car gets washed one to four times a month, the paint is looked after normally but not ceramic-sealed, and there's no pricey coating-maintenance workflow running, As is the most economical and chemically sensible standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reactivation Shampoo \"Rs\" steps in where a ceramic coating is under 18 months old and you want to reactivate it on every wash. Rs has a pH-neutral character and contains polymers that bond to the coating's SiO₂ structure and rebuild the hydrophobic beading. For a plain wash with no coating involved, Rs makes no sense, the extra cost per litre only pays off when a coating actually exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Effect Shampoo \"Ces\" is the premium option with an extra SiO₂ boost; it brings a mini coating refresh to every wash and suits cars with no permanent coating that should still show hydrophobic behaviour between detailing sessions. If you get a professional sealant done every four to six months, Ces carries you past the Reactivation level in between, without laying down a coating of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRule of thumb for the buying call: As for uncoated paint and solid upkeep, Rs for existing coatings under 18 months, Ces for premium care without a coating.

The Canyon CHS-3AN spray head goes on our 1,000 ml HDPE cylinder bottle and on any third-party bottle with a 28\/400 neck. For the original 500 and 750 ml Koch-Chemie bottles you need the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-opus-28-410\"\u003eOpus spray head\u003c\/a\u003e with a 28\/410 thread. The wrong thread means: it sits crooked, doesn't seal, pulls air and atomises unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwist it stepless. Lock it for continuous spraying.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Canyon CHS-3AN spray head works with a twist head that has four main positions: OFF (closed), Stream (pinpoint jet), Spray (mist) and the smooth in-between stages. The \"Stream\" setting delivers a concentrated jet with reach out to about 40 cm — perfect for the gaps between wheel spokes or targeted bug pre-treatment on the bonnet. In \"Spray\" mode the nozzle atomises into a fine aerosol that lays down evenly at about 25–30 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor continuous spraying during a foam wash or a wide quick-detailer pass, the CHS-3AN has a lock on the trigger. You pull the trigger all the way and push the little plastic tab forward — the spray head then stays open without you having to hold it. That saves your wrist on bigger cars and makes laying product down on estate roofs or SUV side panels far more relaxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piston mechanism is built as a so-called \"ring-lip piston\" — that's Canyon's term for a sealing lip that gives under pressure and seals cleanly on the return stroke. In practice that means: even after 2,000 to 3,000 spray bursts the stroke stays constant at 1.2 ml, as long as you haven't clogged the head with chemistry left to dry inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking clean means setting the nozzle to OFF after every job and, with aggressive cleaners, pulling some clean water through. Otherwise surfactants and waxes dry in the inner channel and block the valve within a few days. Ignore that and you swap a 4-euro spray head every three months instead of every two years — that's by far the most common reason spray heads fail early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-canyon-chs-3an_anwendung.jpg?v=1776204868\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie spray head \" star chs-3an by canyon in use on a vehicle loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits 28\/400. Not 28\/410.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHS-3AN fits any bottle with a 28\/400 thread — the European standard for 1,000 ml HDPE cylinder bottles in the detailing world. That includes our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-hdpe-zylinderflasche-28-400-spruehflasche-1000ml\"\u003eHDPE cylinder bottle 28\/400\u003c\/a\u003e, the CarPro Dilute bottles and most neutral empties from detailing wholesale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number \"28\/400\" tells you two things: the neck outer diameter (28 mm) and the thread type to SPI standard (400 = a shallow thread with 6.3 turns per inch). The 28\/410 thread is almost identical in diameter but has a different flank geometry. You can barely see the difference — but you can measure it: a 28\/410 spray head on a 28\/400 bottle sits crooked and only seals on one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis spray head doesn't fit the original 500 ml and 750 ml Koch-Chemie bottles — those carry a 28\/410 thread and come with their spray head fitted from the factory. For 28\/400 bottles the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head is the right part, but it's no replacement for high-pressure pump sprayers like an iK Multi 3 or iK Foam Pro 2. The output is enough for manual detailing, not for active pressure build-up or foam generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you often switch between spraying overhead and the normal spray direction, take a look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ik-sprayers-spruehkopf-ik-trigger-multi-tr-1-360-canyon-chs3an\"\u003eiK Trigger 360°\u003c\/a\u003e from the same Canyon family. It sprays upside down too — handy for wheel-arch cleaning or in tight engine-bay corners — has the same 28\/400 fitting, but costs a euro more per unit and about five euros more in a five-pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-canyon-chs-3an_detail.jpg?v=1776204868\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie spray head \" star chs-3an by canyon spray close up loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour workhorse for bottling your own cleaners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Canyon CHS-3AN spray head is the right call when you dilute concentrates like Green Star, Pol Star or Finish Spray Exterior yourself and work out of the 1,000 ml spray bottle. For workshops and detailers running several bottles in parallel, it pays to buy it as a spare — a second spray head costs less than a new bottle plus head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited if you only buy ready-made spray products from Koch-Chemie, since those come with the Opus spray head already fitted. It has no place on a 5-litre canister either — there a pump or pressure sprayer does the work. Also off-limits: strongly acidic wheel cleaners like the Koch-Chemie Felgenreiniger Säure (Rrp). The CHS-3AN's acid resistance ends at pH values around 2.5 — anything below that attacks the seals within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're starting from scratch, go straight for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-spruehflasche-set\"\u003espray head + 1,000 ml HDPE bottle set\u003c\/a\u003e. The set costs 7.49 euros against 7.98 euros for the separate parts — two fewer lines in the cart and a bottle that seals perfectly straight from the factory. For labelling your own decants, grab a waterproof industrial marker or a pre-printed label: contents, dilution, fill date. An unlabelled spray bottle of diluted APC next to one of diluted glass cleaner is the classic among detailer mix-ups — and exactly why pros label every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Detailing1 insight to close: if you're honest about it, you don't swap the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head because it breaks, but because of contamination. A spray head that ran APC for years can never be fully switched over to glass cleaner — microscopic surfactant residue in the inner channel foams the glass cleaner up and leaves streaks. The fix is a fixed assignment: one spray head per product type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the shop you mark the trigger straight away with a dot of paint marker. Green for glass cleaner, red for APC, blue for quick detailer, yellow for IPA wipe-downs. Four heads, four bottles, no mix-up — and each head then lasts its two to three years too, because it runs constant chemistry instead of seeing different surfactants every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDurability in numbers: with daily pro use and proper care (a water flush after the shift, OFF position for storage) the Canyon CHS-3AN spray head averages 18,000 to 25,000 spray bursts. At a 1.2 ml stroke that works out to about 25 to 30 fully emptied 1,000 ml bottles before valve tension or the sealing lip noticeably fade. Hobby detailers in practice never swap the head for wear — only for contamination or a misplaced bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-canyon-chs-3an_closeup.jpg?v=1776204869\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie spray head \" star chs-3an by canyon in hand workshop loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48488820212047,"sku":"D1-KCX-999001","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-spruehkopf-star-chs-3an-canyon.png?v=1722941263"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-schleifpaste-h7-01-schleifpolitur-grob","title":"Koch-Chemie Cutting Compound \"H7.01\" Sanding Polish (Coarse)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Cutting Compound \"H7.01\" — Coarse Sanding Polish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Cutting Compound H7.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hard-hitting, coarse sanding polish built for the fast turnaround of badly weathered paint.

When you prime a fresh pad, soak it right across the face — only then do the abrasives and the pad actually work together. From the second section on, 3 to 5 pea-sized drops per 40\u0026times;40 cm panel is enough. Flood half the pad again on the second section and you end up with a layer of leftover compound residue that visibly drags the gloss down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold paint.

Leftover contamination acts like grit and cuts fresh scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every polishing round, the paint needs degreasing — best with an IPA cleaner from the prep range, to kill off any wax residue first. For machine choice, the maker sets a clear order: a rotary at medium speed for maximum cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 generation of the Heavy Cut pads now also lets you run them on dual-action polishers (DA polishers) — gloss stays comparable, the cutting time per panel goes up by about 20 percent. On the fresh pad you lay down an even film when you prime, spread it with finger pressure while the machine is off, then start at speed 1 to 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking a crosshatch pattern with moderate pressure, you take a panel of 40 by 40 centimetres until the compound goes translucent. That is the point where the abrasives have fully broken down and the aluminium oxide has hit its finest grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore that point the grit still cuts too hard and leaves a rough microsurface; past that point the pad runs dry and throws holograms. Two to three section passes per panel is the standard — on heavier defects, shrink the panel rather than stretch the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wipe the residue off with a clean, edgeless microfibre cloth — don't rub, wipe. Between panels, check the pad for saturation: if it is caked and shiny, loosen it up with a pad-cleaning brush; if it is smeared, swap it instead of fighting on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_anwendung.jpg?v=1776554761\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 with a rotary on clear coat\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut rating 9.0 clears P1200. Down to primer it won't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 is a correction compound, not a repair. Anything that sits within the thickness of the clear coat — swirls from automatic car washes, buffer trails, sanding marks after wet-sanding down to P1200, water-spot etching, light bird-dropping etching, UV dulling — comes back in one to three passes. Anything that already reaches into the colour coat or primer won't be fixed by any polish on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA paint thickness gauge is a must for serious work at cut rating 9. Modern OEM clear coats run between 40 and 60 microns, and a single H9.02 pass takes off 1 to 3 microns depending on pad and pressure. Work with no gauge and correct three times, and on jet-black clear coat you'll be down to the colour coat faster than you'd think — and then neither a finishing polish nor a sealant saves you, only a respray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limits: bitumen, tar and silicone stains don't react chemically with the aluminium oxide — for those you need a tar remover before you polish. Very soft Japanese clear coats (Toyota white, a few Mazda reds) can tip into the hologram phase fast with the lambswool pad, so here you're better off starting straight with the Foam Pad Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine correction of medium scratches the H9.02 is overkill — that's where the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-fine-cut-f601-schleifpolitur-fein\"\u003eFine Cut F6.01\u003c\/a\u003e is the right tool.

If you refresh your new car once a year, you're a lot better off with a finer polish like the F6.01 or an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn cost, the 250 ml bottle is already the standard size for home use: at 2 to 3 millilitres per panel it lasts for around 100 to 125 panels, or roughly three to four full corrections — that works out to a material cost of about 14 to 17 cents per panel, priming the pad included. The 1-litre bottle pays off from the tenth correction job a year, and the 5-litre canister is the bulk size for outfits running flat out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn day-to-day Detailing1 work the H9.02 never stands alone — it's step 1 in a two- to three-stage polishing system. The typical Koch-Chemie workflow: H9.02 on the Heavy Cut Pad Red for the coarse correction, Fine Cut F6.01 on the Fine Cut Foam Pad Yellow to even out the sanding structure, Micro Cut M3.02 to clear the holograms. Skip step 3 and you accept visible micro-sanding marks on dark paint. Over 87 percent of our H9.02 buyers add the F6.01 to the same basket — exactly for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the biggest lever for a clean result is neither the polish nor the pad — it's the state of the paint before the first drop. Clean prep — clay bar, IPA wipedown, taping off the trim — saves a full polishing pass on average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best H9.02 tip from our bench, though, only comes at the end: after polishing, wipe the paint down with IPA again before you seal. The leftover oils from the pad are otherwise enough to cut the lifespan of a ceramic coating by 30 to 40 percent — and you only notice three months later.

With a cut grade of 9.0, it's built for paint that finer compounds like the Fine Cut F6.01 or the Lack-Polish range simply won't cut deep enough on. Where it earns its keep: badly oxidised paint on older cars, deep holograms after years of automatic car washes, coarse sanding marks after wet-sanding (P1500 grit and up), scratches that go past the clear coat, or the opening stage of a full paint correction.

On cars with unknown clear coat thickness, reach for the Fine Cut F6.01 instead and only bring out the B9.01 when you genuinely need that heavy material removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy Quick Cut B9.01 head to head — when is the Fine Cut F6.01 enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure whether you need the B9.01 or the Fine Cut F6.01, here's the rule of thumb: if you can feel a scratch with your fingernail (not just see it), you need the B9.01. Scratches you only catch under hard cold-light usually come out with the F6.01 or even the Micro Cut P3.01. The B9.01 isn't an everyday tool — it's the specialist for the hard paint correction job.

If you're reviving old cars with badly weathered paint, working in repaint after accident damage, or polishing out sanding marks after wet-sanding, you need the B9.01 as your first tool in the multi-step process.
