  • “Quick detailers” use for ceramic sealing – yes or no?

    Hello everyone! At the beginning of August my new Ford Focus goes to the conditioner; here it is first washed and polished and afterwards comes a ceramic seal of Brila (“Red Line”. Currently I use the “Brilliant Shine Detailer” after every hand wash by Sonax to get even more shine and varnish protection. The car maintainer, who will apply the ceramic seal, gave green light to the detailer to use even further afterwards, since this also the effect of the ceramic But now I have read on the website of another conditioner that so-called quick details should be a “no-go” after a ceramic seal. The opinions are totally divided. I don’t want to spend much money on the seal, in order to destroy it by wrong handling after the laundry or to put down the service life dramatically. Can I use the “BSD” – or any other detailer – far away Is there a clear yes or no? Your expert opinion is required… Greeting!

  • Waxing/waxing after the SB-washbox Laundry

    Hi together I always wash my car in an SB washbox, because in Switzerland (or at least in all the washing facilities where I have been up to now) the hand wash is forbidden. Normally there are about you following washing programs: – high pressure cleaner – foam brush – rinse clean – varnish preserve – shine rinse Up to now I have always been through the full program. With my new car, I would like to invest a little more time in car care. Every weekend my car will be cared for 2h long, but I like a clean, pretty vehicle For this purpose I bought Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax and would like to grow my car regularly. Now to the question: Up to which washing program in the SB washbox should I wash my car? Can I go through the full program and then dry and wake up? Or does that make no sense? Up to which program does washing make sense? Thank you for your opinions!

  • Which body shape is most sensitive to dirt?

    My question arises from the title. The background is the fact that I have been driving an SUV model for the first time since now for a year and a half (Toyota Yaris Cross) and I have the impression that this hard-to-do body shape tends to pollute extremely quickly in everyday life (neck area, side skirts and lower door area and this despite the higher ground clearance). Two of my neighbours also drive SUV (VW Tiguan and T-Roc). Ntionelle small cars, which also park in our residential street, get away better (Opel Corsa, VW Polo e.g.). Staircase Limousines there are less and less, but I think the dirt water management is also much cheaper there (BMW 3er, Audi A4 Staircase etc.). Of course, it is quite clear to me that one must always take into account the routes that were driven. Especially outside in rural regions were and are the roads for several weeks because of the harvest time extremely If you’re in traffic jam in the city, you’ll probably have a clean car for longer… even in bad weather. Nevertheless, I’m firmly convinced that the body shape is also clearly decisive, how long a vehicle looks badly cared for or completely crazy. What’s your experience?

  • Pollution Outer varnish

    Hello together, I’ve been having weird brownish stains all over the car for a few months. Add pictures. I’ve already tried all sorts of removers (light grating, resin, beetles etc.) but they just don’t want to disappear. Maybe someone knows what that could be and what would help? With a lot of pressure you get them away to some extent but by that I probably scratch the paint and they are really everywhere .. that would take forever.

  • Ceramic sealing for the Tiguan 3 – experiences?

    Hello together, I’m thinking of having my new Tiguan 3 (model year 2025) protected with a ceramic seal. Since the car is often on the road and we have many linden trees in the street, which give pollen and wood resin, I want to protect the paint in the best possible way. I wonder if a ceramic seal would make sense in my case and if any of you have already had experiences with it at Tiguan. Are there any positive or negative aspects that I should take into account? te? What about the durability and care of such a seal in the long term? Look forward to your tips and reviews!

  • Is ceramic sealing worth it under my conditions ?

    Hi, I bought a new car (C300d in spectral blue) and would like to have it sealed. Unfortunately, I don’t have a garage, and the car is usually standing at the door, often 40-50 % under trees. Normally I wash the car every 1-2 weeks in the washbox, using the shampoo from the washbox the high pressure cleaner, the osmosis flush, etc. (I don’t use the brush because of scratches). If the car is too dirty, I drive to Mr. Wash (please hate mic h not , I know most of them do a hand wash with two buckets and take hours). Since I am limited in time – I work from 7:15 to 16:00 and go to the gym six times a week from 16:30 to 18:30 – and I also need time for my girlfriend, I just can’t do it. My plan is to have the car sealed with ceramic, so if it’s dirty, I just drive to the washbox, apply shampoo and use the high-pressure cleaner k I would do that every 1-2 weeks. Would you recommend a ceramic seal to me in this case, or is the waste of money if it is important to me that the car is always clean. My goal is to get the car in the washing box more conveniently clean, because, as far as I know, slight dirt does not stick. Do you know someone in the Bochum area (+50 kilometers) who does this professionally and cheaply?

  • Scratches/shining/sun cream High gloss (B-pillar)

    Hello, I have been driving my A4 B9 Avant Sline inQuantumgrey for 3 months. Apart from that I am very satisfied with the car, I find the paint in general rather mediocre, relatively many stone strokes except for the white primer on the bonnet. That’s why it shouldn’t work. After 3 months I find the high-gloss B column from the Black package not nice anymore (swirls of the washing system, company car) After our Croatia holiday it seems even more dirty (fingerprints sun cream e?!) Which polish can be used to bring these high gloss parts back into shape? I would be happy about tips. VG Christian

  • Paint care for new cars, black Uni

    Hello guys, 2 weeks ago I picked up my black new car and now of course I’m thinking about how I can easily “care” the paint. Briefly to the setting or my requirements: – usually (approx. every 3 weeks) I wash in such an SB washbox, no wash road – I drive about 600 km/week, so there’s a bit of dirt on the car. – I don’t want to spend three hours with the car care, so 1 – 1 1/2 hour I like to invest. So far I have In the car box I ran through the normal programs and drove the wet car home. Result: the pollen and dust will stick to it again. My idea: to go through the normal programs as before, but do not spray wax from the washing line over it, but only rinse with demineralized water. Then dry with a microfiber cloth and remove the remaining mosquitoes with cleaning knead. Then spray with a detailer (which little?) and wipe and nac h my performance with a spray wax (which) over it (and wipe it again). Of course I would find a hard wax better (maybe Collonite 476er?), but probably it will take me too long. Do you have tips/proposals for the cleaning process or the medium? VG Dominik
