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.

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-autoshampoo-as-auto-shampoo","title":"Autoshampoo \"As\" Car Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eWeekly hand washing with no wax or sealant loss, thanks to Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Autoshampoo \"As\"?

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. A 1-litre bottle of As lasts about eight to ten months on one car a month; the 10-litre container is built for detailers and multi-car households running two or more washes a week.

In the foam cannon you mix roughly 100 ml of concentrate into 900 ml of water. The 10 kg drum works out to over 100 foam-cannon fills on paper — that's the point where you start thinking in litres in the garage instead of in spray bottles.\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 We often see people mixing a flat 1:50 in the foam cannon, then wondering why the foam looks thin or why streaks stay on the paint. Here's why: your pressure washer dilutes the mix again at the nozzle — usually by a factor of 15 to 25, depending on flow rate. That's the so-called Panel Impact Ratio, PIR for short. Quick bucket test: spray 1 litre of water through the lance, then measure the total water in the bucket. If 20 litres come out, your machine has a PIR factor of 1:20 — so you only need a pre-dilution of 1:5 in the lance to land the VDA-compliant 1:100 on the paint. And don't work in the sun, don't let it dry on, or even the best maths won't save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam cannon, pre-diluted 1:10, three minutes' dwell time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic application goes like this: car in the shade, paint dry or pre-rinsed, hook the foam cannon up to the pressure washer, pre-dilute the concentrate somewhere between 1:10 (winter, salt, baked-on brake dust) and 1:50 (summer, pollen, city grime) with warm water, and spray bottom to top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet it dwell three to five minutes, then start at the top with the pressure washer and work down. Unlike the compressed-air pump sprayer — where the mix in the bottle is exactly the mix that hits the paint — the pressure washer adds water at the nozzle. In the pump sprayer the realistic dilution sits at 1:20 to 1:50, with no PIR effect, and the dwell time should run one to three minutes at most, or the foam dries on. The denser foam from the lance hangs longer, stays wet, and gives you the full five-minute window the VDA defines for Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bucket you dose 1:300 — about 35 ml to 10 litres — and work with the microfibre mitt like you would with a regular shampoo. The upside over a classic pH-neutral car shampoo: the alkalinity breaks down baked-on summer grime and pollen film better. The downside: every contact wash with Af strips a little wax. If you're running a sealant, switch the contact phase over to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Gentle Snow Foam Gsf\u003c\/a\u003e, which is certified wax-safe at pH 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we see day-to-day: the most common beginner mistake isn't the dilution, it's rinsing from too close. High pressure from 30 to 40 centimetres is plenty — get the nozzle in to 5 centimetres and you mechanically grind pollen and sand into the clear coat instead of washing them away. The foam has done its job; now the water jet should only carry things off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 ANWENDUNG: Daniel mit Schaumkanone an Auto, dichter Sandelholz-Schaum auf Lack — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_anwendung.png --\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCarnauba gives way. Ceramic doesn't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 9.5, Active Foam Af is clearly more alkaline than a classic pH-neutral shampoo, but moderate next to Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, which runs at pH 13 and tears wax down on contact. On intact ceramic coatings (SiO2, often pH-stable from 2 to 13) Af is harmless — plenty of detailers even reach for it deliberately to lift the traffic film that masks the coating's hydrophobic behaviour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith carnauba waxes it's a different story. A rare, correctly diluted pre-wash inside the VDA window won't strip the wax. But stand at the foam cannon with Af every single week and you'll break down the protective layer measurably faster than with a pH-neutral foam. The day-to-day rule: sealant younger than three months plus a weekly wash, then hands off Af and switch to the Gentle Snow Foam. Sealant refreshed every six months, or a ceramic coating, and Af makes a sensible deep pre-wash between your maintenance washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Af also won't shift: deep-set mineral water spots — for those the acidic \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-reactivation-shampoo-rs\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Reactivation Shampoo Rs\u003c\/a\u003e is the right call, because it pulls limescale plugs out of the coating's pores. Baked-on bugs are too much for the foam as well. There you grab a dedicated bug remover locally, or the highly alkaline \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003eKoch-Chemie all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e from the green line.

In rollover washes and self-service bays Af is an industry standard, because the thick foam visually signals a premium wash and the sandalwood scent works as an argument for higher programme prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the home user, Af pays off once the foam cannon is already hanging off a strong enough pressure washer — you have to physically work out the PIR once yourself, because every pump draws differently. The 1-litre bottle is the easy way in for a single car and lasts about three to four months on a fortnightly pre-wash. The 10 kg drum starts to pay from the second car on, or in the detailing hobby, because the per-litre price drops noticeably and you just decant the concentrate into an empty spray bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetailers and workshops usually reach for the 21 kg or 210 kg pack, because at 3 to 8 millilitres of usage per car in a rollover system the unit cost runs towards nothing. The 210 kg barrel goes out by freight forwarder with us — and yes, Active Foam is phosphate- and NTA-free, so it's cleared for biological greywater treatment plants, which is a must for commercial wash lines on a closed water loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've moved into a sealant routine and mainly want to hold the hydrophobic effect, switch your maintenance wash to the pH-neutral \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-gsf\"\u003eGentle Snow Foam\u003c\/a\u003e and only pull the Active Foam out every few weeks for the deep pre-wash. If you keep an older car clean of everyday grime and have no wax layer to protect, you're better off with Af as your standard pre-cleaner than with any milder foam. In the current spring trend, where pollen and Sahara dust are measurably driving searches for car foam cleaner in the DACH region versus last year, this pre-wash logic matters more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe the most important Detailing1 note to finish on: the sandalwood scent isn't a marketing gimmick. Highly concentrated anionic surfactants smell sharp and biting on their own — the scent is an odour binder that makes working in enclosed spaces bearable. The fact that customers at wash lines link the smell with cleanliness and premium care and accept higher programme prices is the economic bonus layer on top. For your own garage it mainly means: ventilate well, don't work in a closed hall with no fresh air, and always label the spray bottle with its contents once you've decanted the concentrate from the 10 kg drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 📸 LINEUP: Active Foam 1L + 10kg Kanister + Schaumkanone als Workflow-Stillleben — d1_koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum_lineup.png --\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000ml","offer_id":49515049288015,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747390287,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_2","price":19.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000 mL","offer_id":49670747423055,"sku":"D1-KCX-282001_3","price":29.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":48762013548879,"sku":"D1-KCX-282010","price":48.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49094689358159,"sku":"D1-KCX-282021","price":98.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49094689390927,"sku":"D1-KCX-282210","price":1031.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-active-foam-af-intensivschaum.png?v=1726400580"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-aktivwaesche-aw-aktiv-shampoo","title":"Aktivwäsche \"Aw\" Active Shampoo","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eAktivwäsche Aw works in the tunnel, in the lance and in the bucket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche Aw?

Overdose it and you get a sticky dry residue on the paint, not better gloss. 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is the mark where micelle formation runs clean: at that concentration the surfactant molecules form little foam spheres that capsule the dirt and carry it off when you rinse. Lukewarm water instead of cold speeds up the surfactant work without tipping the dry time. More is counterproductive, less doesn't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e50 millilitres to 10 litres of water. Then Aw works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw runs on three clear dose rates, and which one you need comes down to the workflow, not taste. In the roll-over wash system, 3 to 7 millilitres per car go straight through the dosing pump into the water concentrate. In the foam lance you mix the concentrate in the supply tank at 1:10 to 1:30. In the hand bucket, 50 millilitres to 10 litres of water is enough — that's the 1:200 dilution Koch-Chemie lists on every product data sheet for the Aktivwäsche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the first bucket, you roll the car into the shade and let it cool down. Aw flashes off on hot paint within seconds, and the dry residue is a pain to rinse off afterwards. Loose grit comes off first with the pressure washer — sand and brake dust have no business in your wash mitt. Then two \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-detailing-bucket-wascheimer-20l\"\u003ewash buckets\u003c\/a\u003e with grit guards side by side, one for the shampoo solution, one with clean water to rinse out the mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wash top to bottom, panel by panel. Roof first, sills last. After each panel wring the mitt out in the rinse bucket, then load up on shampoo again. Important: don't soap up the whole car — work panel by panel and rinse straight off with clean water. Aw is fast, but once the foam dries on you're starting half the panel over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo dry, a thick microfibre towel around 950 gsm or the leaf blower. Both keep off the limescale marks that show up half an hour later when water droplets run down and evaporate. If you want to freshen the car up on top of that, follow Aw with a second cleaning workflow from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/autoshampoo\"\u003eshampoo category\u003c\/a\u003e — pre-wash, snow foam or quick detailer, depending on what the car needs. Aw is the base, not the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running the foam lance, you mix Aw into the supply tank beforehand. The exact dilution depends on the foam insert and the water pressure — we start at 1:20 and dial it in after the first pass. Too thin means no all-over foam that clings long enough. Too thick means the concentrate drips off as a syrupy film and streaks later. Visual cue: the foam should sit on paint and glass for around 60 to 90 seconds, then come off top-down with the pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" in use in the bucket' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw attacks coatings. In the driveway it stays in the canister.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt pH 7.5 Aktivwäsche Aw is almost neutral, but it carries a slightly alkaline kick — which is exactly what you want when the paint needs to be stripped clean before polishing or sealing. That same kick, though, attacks existing coatings, wax layers and SiO2 sealants over time. If you want to maintain a fresh ceramic coating rather than strip it, reach for Koch-Chemie NanoMagic Shampoo Nms at a mild-acidic pH 5.5, or the Glanzwachsshampoo Gw with wax content. Aw is the tool for cleaning, not for preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is the dry time. Detailers abroad describe Aw as „tricky to finish washing the whole car before the concentrate dries on the paint\". That's true: in direct sun, on hot metal or at outside temperatures over 25 °C, Aw runs out of headroom. Shade, cool metal and working panel by panel aren't a suggestion, they're a must. Skip that and you pick up streaks and, in the worst case, spot etching on horizontal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third limit is legal: even though Aw is phosphate- and NTA-free and supports biological process-water treatment, washing a car with shampoo on private property is banned under the German Water Resources Act. The issue isn't the surfactants but the oil, brake dust and tar residue that would run into the groundwater with the rinse water. That's why Aw is only allowed at self-service bays with an oil separator or at wash systems with a process-water loop. Fines run into five figures depending on the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to maintain an active ceramic sealant, reach for a mild maintenance shampoo from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koch-chemie\"\u003eKoch-Chemie line\u003c\/a\u003e. If you can wash commercially or in a self-service box, Aw is the right tool. If you're parked privately in the driveway, Aw is the wrong product legally — no judgement, just the legal frame you should know before you crack the canister open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" — clean paint after the wash' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAw is a concentrate for detailers and wash-system operators.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAktivwäsche Aw is built for three types of user. Professional detailers who need a reliable paint pre-clean between polishing stations and sealing work, without the next week's coating layer getting attacked. Wash-system operators and fleet managers who have to cost it out at cents per vehicle and still want VDA Class A. And hobby pros with a workshop streak who work at the self-service bay or with their own lift and want one concentrate to last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw is less of a fit for the classic Sunday washer in the driveway — both practically (dry time too short, uncontrollable without shade) and legally (Water Resources Act). If you're allowed to wash privately in the driveway because your local bylaw permits it in your area, check the local rules — they aren't uniform, they differ by state and municipality. When in doubt, take the wash to a self-service bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kg canister is the entry point for professional detailers with a single site. At one hand wash of a single vehicle a week, the container lasts around four years — in practice that means the concentrate rarely runs out, it ages first. The 21 kg keg pays off from the second detailing site or at higher workload. The 210 kg container is the wash-system size for tunnels with three-digit daily throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAw isn't a wow-gloss shampoo. It's the tool that preps the paint right on the mark for the next layer — whether that's a coating, a hot wax or simply clean dryness. Use Aw and put nothing on afterwards, and you're leaving performance on the table. That's pro logic: get it properly clean first, then put down exactly what you want. Aw handles the dirty part of the wash reliably, the rest hangs on the workflow that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009\" alt='Koch-Chemie Aktivwäsche „Aw\" — 11 kg, 21 kg and 210 kg sizes at a glance' loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48762024755535,"sku":"D1-KCX-10011","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21kg","offer_id":49382268731727,"sku":"D1-KCX-10021","price":74.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"210kg","offer_id":49382268764495,"sku":"D1-KCX-10210","price":745.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-aktivwasche-aw-aktiv-shampoo.png?v=1778757009"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colorful-blue-cb-farbkonzentrat-blau","title":"Colorful Blue \"Cb\" Colour Concentrate Blue","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe emotional wash experience with coloured car shampoo.

Above 30 degrees paint temperature the cleaner flashes off before the dwell time is up — leaving dull streaks that only come off with polish. Before you start, move the vehicle into the shade or rinse it down with cold water first. In full summer sun, reach for the milder Pre-Foam efficient instead, which is far more forgiving with its 1-minute maximum dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:30 for insects. 1:300 for high pressure.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDilution depends on how dirty the vehicle is and how you apply it. 1:30 to 1:50 for the pre-wash, 1:3 to 1:10 for heavily soiled wheels, 1:300 for self-service high-pressure units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the touchless pre-wash with a foam lance you work at 1:30 to 1:50. One litre of concentrate at 1:50 gives you 51 litres of ready-to-use solution — enough for roughly 20 to 25 cars in standard exterior care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam lance should run at 0.8 to 1.2 litres per minute flow so the foam consistency is right and the cleaner clings to vertical panels long enough to do its job. Apply the pre-cleaner from the bottom up onto the cold, pre-wetted vehicle — that way you avoid run marks on unevenly dried panels. After 5 minutes dwell time at most (VDA Class A), rinse off thoroughly with the pressure washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn self-service wash bays, 1:300 is enough — that's the high-volume dilution and it cuts product use noticeably over a full year. For wheel cleaning you work at 1:3 to 1:10, sprayed straight onto the cold dry wheel, left to dwell for 1 minute at most, then rinsed. Important: don't use it on hot brake discs or warm wheels. The heat speeds up the reaction in an uncontrolled way and raises the risk of dulling on painted alloy wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wash tunnels with conveyor lines you typically run 1:100 to 1:200. Dwell time in the tunnel is usually 30 to 60 seconds, which still keeps you safely inside the VDA-B limit of 1 minute. The higher dilution cuts foam volume at the spray arch but keeps enough cleaning power thanks to the high active-ingredient concentration. With high vehicle throughput it pays to switch to the 225 kg container — a better price per litre of concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor copolymer de-waxing — stripping old preservatives before a fresh sealant — 1:5 to 1:10 is the right dilution.

No snow foam replacement.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch Chemie Vorreiniger B is not a mild foam pre-cleaner for coating-protected vehicles. pH 13.1 is workshop level — strong, uncompromising, but sensitive in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strength is on heavily soiled vehicles with insect, bird-dropping and road residue after a long motorway run or after winter. It also works reliably on baked-on brake dust on steel wheels and on alkali-resistant painted alloy wheels. The foam is functional — not the show foam you get from classic snow-foam products, but a working foam that clings to vertical panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow the honest read on the limits. First, the Vorreiniger B is not friendly to active ceramic coatings. Used regularly on coating-protected vehicles it breaks the coating down faster than a pH-neutral pre-wash foam does. For vehicles with an active coating, the milder Pre-Foam efficient is the better call. Second, don't use it on polished aluminium or chrome surfaces — despite the corrosion inhibitors, pH 13.1 can dull untreated light metals. The inhibitors protect anodised alloy, not bare alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird: it is not paint-surface gentle in the sense of a hand-wash chemistry. If you look after your new car with the two-bucket method and a mild car shampoo, you don't need a Vorreiniger B in the garage. Its job starts where hand washing no longer cuts it — on heavily soiled vehicles, commercial fleets, utility vehicles and construction machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtective gear is a must, not optional. Nitrile gloves and safety glasses when mixing and applying. On skin contact, rinse straight away with plenty of water and remove residue with mild soap. Never leave the concentrate bottle open — the fumes from the alkaline cleaner irritate airways and mucous membranes on longer exposure. Close it well after use and store it frost-free and dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material compatibility of the Vorreiniger B has clear limits. Allowed: steel, anodised aluminium, alkali-resistant painted surfaces, glass and standard automotive plastics. Not allowed: polished light metals, bare chrome surfaces, coloured anodised layers (risk of discolouration) and matt-painted surfaces without a protective film. When in doubt, test on an inconspicuous spot before the first application and watch it for 3 minutes — it costs little time and saves expensive damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-vorreiniger-b-vb-vorreiniger_ergebnis.jpg?v=1776199899\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B workshop-grade alkaline cleaner pH 13.1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:1.5em 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Vorreiniger B is for — from the pro to the home garage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch Chemie Vorreiniger B is built for pros and experienced home users with know-how in alkaline chemistry.

The first time you mix it, work with a calibrated measuring jug — go by eye and most beginners land far too concentrated, which loads the material needlessly and encourages streaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a mild, coating-friendly pre-wash foam, you're better off with the Pre-Foam efficient. If you supply express wash lines with extremely short dwell times, reach for the Pre-Wash B. If you need the strongest cleaner for baked-on oil and grease residue on engines and chassis, take the Copo Star BMP-T.

The Koch-Chemie Detailing Bucket lays the physical and functional groundwork for the proven two-bucket method: one bucket with clean wash water and shampoo, a second bucket with clean rinse water for rinsing out the mitt. Between those two working buckets the grit gets dropped off the mitt on purpose, instead of dragging it back onto the paint with your next pass. The 20-litre volume is no accident — it's the minimum that gives you enough water to hand wash a mid-size car in one go, without staring at cloudy, sand-loaded water halfway around the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe two-bucket method in practice — a paint-safe wash workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Koch-Chemie Detailing Buckets, a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-detailing-bucket-grit-guard-wascheimer-schmutzsieb\"\u003eGrit Guard dirt screen\u003c\/a\u003e in each and a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-detailing-bucket-lid-wascheimer-klickdeckel\"\u003eclick-on lid\u003c\/a\u003e on top — that's the full setup.

Workflow: dip the mitt in bucket 1, wash a panel, work the mitt out in bucket 2 — the Grit Guard traps the dirt you rub off at the bottom so it doesn't get stirred back up. Then back into bucket 1. That way the grit ends up in bucket 2, not back on your paint.

A 150 ml pump bottle with a dilution scale up to 1:10 that turns cleaner concentrates into a dry, high-volume foam — spot-on for upholstery, leather and Alcantara.

The active stays on the fibre longer, because the cleaning solution doesn't flood the surface like a spray — it sits there as a fine-pored foam and works the substrate layer by layer instead of soaking it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe side of the bottle has a volume and dilution scale printed on it, marking ratios from 1:1 to 1:10 clearly. You fill water up to the dilution mark you want first, then add the concentrate — not the other way round, or the cleaner foams up while you're filling and you lose volume.

After every cleaning session, empty the bottle, refill with clean tap water and pump 8 to 10 strokes dry until only water comes out. Those 60 seconds of care add a lot to the life of the Foamer Bottle — a pump that dries out with cleaner residue jams the return spring and then has to be pushed back by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWater first, concentrate after, read the scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnscrew the pump head, fill the bottle with lukewarm tap water up to the dilution mark you want, and only then top up with the concentrate — say COLOURLOCK Pol Star or the all-purpose cleaner \"Mzr\" — to the 100-percent mark. Put the pump head back on, tip the bottle two or three times rather than shaking it so no premature foam climbs into the pump chamber, and prime three to four strokes until stable foam comes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters is keeping concentrate and ready-to-use apart: the classic Pol Star \"Po\" 1L comes ready to go in the spray bottle and is NOT to be diluted — that one goes straight onto the upholstery. The Foamer Bottle is meant for the concentrate line (COLOURLOCK Pol Star, Green Star \"Gs\", all-purpose cleaner \"Mzr\"), which you couldn't use at all without diluting because it's dosed too strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth in one direction — never back and forth, or the dirt you've lifted works its way back into the weave.

The Foamer Bottle is a dilution and foaming tool, not a decanting container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor an exterior wash the 150 ml fill is simply too small and the spray radius too tight — foaming a whole body with the pump bottle takes half an hour and tires your hand out.

In pure high-throughput commercial work too, where ten to fifteen interiors get done a day, it's worth investing in a Tornador foam attachment that runs on compressed air — that makes more foam per second and takes the load off your hand in continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe full interior detailing set pairs the Foamer Bottle with three parts: a concentrate as the chemical side, a medium-firm \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/buersten\"\u003eupholstery brush\u003c\/a\u003e for the mechanical side, and a microfibre cloth to pick it all up.
