Because there are no silicone oils in the formula, the treated surface stays grippy — a make-or-break point on pedal rubbers and floor mats, where slipperiness isn't a cosmetic problem but a safety risk.

Brake hard and your foot slides on the mat, your shoe loses grip on the pedal rubber. Gummifix works without silicone oils and keeps the natural grip of the surface — you feel the difference in the first emergency stop, not just on a lab readout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin darkening instead of plastic shine.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula brings back colour depth and texture without lacquering the surface. Rubber mats look like the day you bought them, plastic footwells look fresh rather than mirror-like. This is the look detailers and reconditioners reach for on used cars before the sales photos go up — sharpen it up without overdoing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne litre covers 20 to 30 sets of mats.\u003c\/strong\u003e You need 30 to 50 ml of product per full four-mat set. So the 1 L canister covers one to two years of regular care, while the 10 L canister is the trade standard for workshops and fleets. That works out to about EUR 0.35 in material per set of mats from the 1 L container — and a fair bit less from the 10 L canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with Gummifix is laying it on too thick. The product doesn't soak into the surface like a coating, it dries on top — too much material means a greasy film instead of satin depth. Spray on a thin mist, spread it evenly with a microfibre cloth, and let it flash off completely for at least 30 minutes before the mats go back in the car. Put the mats in wet and you get exactly the slippery surface that going silicone-free was meant to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClean mat. Thin coat. 30 minutes to dry.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray Gummifix onto the clean, dry surface or wipe it on with a sponge — not onto wet or freshly shampooed rubber. Leftover moisture dilutes the product and stops the surface from taking it up evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you treat them, the mats come out of the car, get shaken out, degreased with APC or a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kunststoffpflege\"\u003eplastic cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e and rinsed clear. Only once the surface is visibly clean and dry does the care make any sense. Eight to ten spray bursts per mat, spread it quickly with a microfibre cloth — with heavy soiling, go twice thin rather than once thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame logic for pedal rubbers, just on a smaller scale: three to four bursts per pedal, spread it with a fingertip on the microfibre cloth, let it flash off. Most pedal rubbers have a fine tread that quickly clogs with dust and rubber dust — here Gummifix doesn't just lift the colour, it cleans as you spread it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrying time is the setting that gets skipped most often. At 20 °C room temperature, full flash-off takes 30 to 60 minutes, quicker in the summer sun, a lot longer in a cold winter garage. Rule of thumb: when the mat doesn't feel damp to the touch and you don't leave a film on your glove, it can go back in the car. When in doubt, air it an hour longer, not five minutes shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking straight from the 1 L canister does work, but it's too imprecise on fine pedal rubbers or seat consoles. A spray bottle with an adjustable fine-mist head is the difference between dosing and a full bath — pedal rubbers especially are small areas that cop too much product head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_anwendung.png?v=1776198289\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix with a Star spray head being sprayed onto a rubber floor mat\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMats and pedals yes. Dashboard no.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core job for Gummifix is the horizontal surfaces in the footwell and boot: rubber floor mats, plastic footwells, pedal rubbers, boot liners and sill trims. On these surfaces the satin darkening plays to its strengths — a fresh look without the artificial shine that looks out of place down in the footwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works reliably on rubber seals, door rubbers and boot seals too — it keeps the seals supple and stops them cracking from drying out, especially after UV exposure in the summer. Once a season on the seal rubbers is enough for that; twice a year is plenty for cars that spend a lot of time outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn tyre sidewalls and outdoor rubber that's permanently weathered, Gummifix isn't your first pick — its life under the weather is around two to three washes, then the care starts to wash off. For tyres there are dedicated tyre dressings with longer staying power and UV protection; for outdoor plastics like bumper add-ons or wheel-arch trims we stock the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-plast-star-pss-premium-kunststoffpflege-siliconoelfrei\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Plast Star\u003c\/a\u003e — also silicone-oil-free, but with higher weather resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Gummifix is the wrong product: glossy dashboards, cockpit plastic on the dash and door cards. There you usually want a light shine, not matte darkening. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-top-star-ts-innenraum-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eKoch-Chemie Top Star\u003c\/a\u003e is the alternative for that — same brand, with a satin-gloss finish instead of matte darkening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf safety on the pedals and mats is your priority, grab the Gummifix. If you want shine on the dashboard, reach for the Top Star. Having both in the garage costs less together than a single shop visit and covers 90 percent of interior care — for the other 10 percent (leather, Alcantara, upholstery) you'll need dedicated products anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_ergebnis.png?v=1776193282\" alt=\"Floor mat after Koch-Chemie Gummifix treatment in the car footwell\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGummifix or Gkg or Gkv\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three rubber and plastic care products in the range — same product category, three different jobs. This breakdown saves you the wrong buys we often see in support when customers mix up the three abbreviations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGummifix — abbreviation Guf — is the matte, grippy option for floor mats and pedal rubbers. The Koch-Chemie Gummi- und Kunststoffpflege Gkg produces a clear high gloss and is meant for visible exterior parts like bumper plastic or wheel-arch trims — where you actually want shine. The Gkv is the third tier with an added vinyl component for boat covers, convertible tops and vinyl flooring — more specialised, usually too much product and too pricey per use for everyday cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur usage profile from 10 years on the job: Gummifix for everything your shoe touches getting in and out. Gkg for visible exterior plastics that should shine. Gkv for special materials like marine applications. If you only want one product on the shelf and mostly look after the footwell, Gummifix is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 L canister lasts one to two seasons on one car, the 10 L canister is the trade standard for workshops, dealerships and fleets with 20 to 50 vehicles. Between the two sizes sit the two- and three-packs of the 1 L container, which ease the step up to the 10 L canister price-wise without having to jump straight to a commercial quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Detailing1 insight you won't read from the manufacturer: Gummifix is also the ideal product after an interior clean with steam. After steam cleaning, rubber floor mats are extremely open-pored and take care up especially well — a single thin coat then gives you a depth and staying power that would take three applications without the prep. Steam-clean your mats once a year and care for them straight after, and you'll have mats that still look after three years like they did at six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second insight is about pairing it with how you handle interior textiles: if you've got carpet floor mats in the car and rubber floor mats as a winter set, give the rubber mats one solid treatment with Gummifix in spring before they go down to the cellar. The product stops them drying out and going brittle over the summer — in autumn the mats come back into the car looking like the day you put them away. No chalking, no white haze, no hardened edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"d1-scene-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-gummifix_lineup.png?v=1776195721\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix 1L bottle and 10L canister side by side\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48463594979663,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":49723985854799,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001_2","price":17.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":49723985887567,"sku":"D1-KCX-48001_3","price":26.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 liters","offer_id":48463595012431,"sku":"D1-KCX-48010","price":69.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-gummifix-gummipflege-kunststoffpflege.jpg?v=1710622833"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-top-star-ts-innenraum-kunststoffpflege","title":"Top Star \"Ts\" Interior Plastic Care","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eSatin-matt shine in the interior with the Koch-Chemie Top Star \"Ts\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Top Star \"Ts\"?

A basic plastic dressing gives you a quick shine, but barely protects against fresh weathering. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Plastic Sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e tackles this from a different angle: the Si-Carbon formula builds a chemically anchored, hydrophobic ceramic layer on the plastic surface — not a plain oil that washes off, but a bond that keeps UV protection and water repellency active for up to three months. In a 750 ml bottle for regular use across all kinds of vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSi-Carbon ceramic protection for up to three months.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Si-Carbon technology in the formula bonds with the plastic surface on a molecular level and forms a longer-lasting layer than classic oil- or silicone-based dressings.

That saves time and money compared with plastic dressings you have to top up every week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin-matte look with no greasy overshine on exterior plastics.\u003c\/strong\u003e A lot of plastic dressings leave an oily high gloss that looks off on trim and bumpers that are meant to be matte.

Apply the Ceramic Plastic Sealant thinly with an applicator sponge, let it flash off briefly, then buff it off with a microfibre — don't rub it in, just spread it evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon technology of the Ceramic Plastic Sealant — how it works and how it lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSi-Carbon technology is the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eCeramic Plastic Sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e: silicon compounds (Si) combined with carbon molecules form a chemically anchored protective layer on the plastic surface once you've applied it. This bond is more stable than a plain oil film — oils only sit between the plastic and the outside world as a physical barrier that rain and washes strip off fairly quickly. The Si-Carbon layer, by contrast, ties into the surface molecules of the plastic and holds up against water rinses and cleaning agents far longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the hydrophobicity, UV protection is the second key job of the sealant. UV is the main driver of plastic greying: high-energy UV photons break apart the polymer chains at the plastic surface, which shows up as visible fading and brittleness. The Ceramic Plastic Sealant contains UV absorbers that catch part of the incoming UV and slow the greying rate. The effect stacks up: vehicles sealed regularly every three months show far less greying over the years than untreated ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe up-to-three-months protection applies under normal conditions: regular hand washes or automatic car washes, normal weather, no aggressive cleaners. In practice that means three to four applications a year, which makes the 750 ml bottle enough for most vehicles over a full care season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA question that comes up a lot is whether the Si-Carbon sealant plays nicely with other ceramic products in a vehicle care system. Since the Ceramic Plastic Sealant only goes on plastic surfaces and never on paint, there's no interaction with paint sealants or ceramic coatings on the body. If you want to set the whole car up with ceramic protection — paint with a ceramic coating, plastics with the Ceramic sealant, glass with a hydrophobic treatment — you can run all of them together without any conflict. Each area has its own product, and you keep the line between plastic and paint clear when you apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the Ceramic Plastic Sealant — prep, application and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow well the Ceramic Plastic Sealant works comes straight down to how you prep the surface. On greasy, silicone- or oil-loaded surfaces the Si-Carbon compound can't form a stable bond with the plastic — the sealant would only cling to the oil, not to the plastic itself. That's why pre-cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a dedicated plastic cleaner is a must, not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication: put the sealant on an applicator sponge or a soft microfibre and lay it down thinly on the cleaned plastic. Don't scrub, just spread it evenly. Depending on the ambient temperature, let it flash off for 2–5 minutes, then buff it off with a clean microfibre. On smooth plastics (mirror caps, sill covers) a single thin coat is enough; on textured, porous plastics (bumpers with a honeycomb structure) you can add a second coat after 10 minutes of drying to make sure the recesses are fully covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature and weather shape the result: apply the Ceramic Plastic Sealant at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C. Below 5 °C the Si-Carbon compound reacts more slowly and takes longer to flash off — which can lead to uneven buffing. Above 30 °C or in direct sun the product dries on too fast and gets hard to remove. If you're working in summer, move into the shade or shift the job to the cooler morning or evening hours. In winter, a heated garage or wash bay is the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the first application on new or long-neglected plastic, a two-coat approach pays off: the first coat soaks into the surface and fills the porous, UV-damaged structure. The second coat then forms the actual protective layer on an even base. Follow-up applications every three months usually only need one coat, since the base is already sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes — bumpers, trim strips, mirror caps and more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceramic Plastic Sealant suits all unpainted exterior plastic parts: bumper inserts and strips in their factory colour, sill covers, wheel-arch flares, mirror caps, A-pillar trims, plastic roof spoilers, door-handle recesses and rear diffusers. Vehicles with large plastic areas benefit most — SUVs, off-roaders and vans with pronounced plastic bumpers have a lot more surface that goes grey and neglected fast without regular care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bumpers with built-in parking sensors, work carefully: don't spray the product straight into the sensor openings. An applicator sponge guided only onto the plastic between the sensors keeps residue out of the openings. If you need to, mask the sensor openings with a small strip of painter's tape before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot meant for painted surfaces: the Ceramic Plastic Sealant is built specifically for unpainted, pigmented plastics and can leave streaks on clear coat. On rubber parts (door seals, window seals) and rubber lips on bumpers you can use the sealant too — it protects rubber against UV embrittlement as well, though it lasts a bit shorter than on hard plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ceramic Plastic Sealant compared — plastic care products in the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the SONAX plastic care range, the Ceramic Plastic Sealant sits as the long-term protection product for regular care.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a fundamentally different route: instead of a temporary dressing, it lays down a ceramic protective layer on a silicon-carbon base that bonds chemically with the plastic, brings back the original colour and protects the surface against UV, moisture and dirt for up to 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisible colour revival on faded plastic.\u003c\/strong\u003e The coating sinks into the porous surface of weathered plastic and restores the original deep black — not as a surface film, but as a chemically bonded layer.

Plastic parts on the exterior of a car are typically made of polypropylene (PP) or thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), both porous and UV-sensitive. The coating turns that very porosity to its advantage: it works into the surface structure and builds a silicon-carbon matrix there that protects the plastic from the inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key difference from classic silicone-oil dressings: silicone oils sit on the surface as a film and give a short-lived shine, but wash off at the next clean or in the rain. The Si-carbon coating, by contrast, forms a chemical bond that stands up to alkaline cleaners and mechanical stress alike. That's why SONAX explicitly recommends pH-neutral shampoos after coating, such as SONAX GlanzShampoo or ActiFoam — not because the coating is delicate, but because alkaline cleaners cut its lifespan short for no reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne common misunderstanding: the coating doesn't make plastic \"glossy\" in the high-shine paint sense. It restores the factory satin sheen that new plastic parts have — a rich, deep tone without a greasy oil film. If you want a loud wet-look on your plastic, you're better off with a plastic dressing. But if you want to lock in the original condition for the long haul, the CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flexibility of the formula deserves a special mention: conventional ceramic coatings for paint are hard and rigid once cured — no problem on a solid base like clear coat. Plastic parts, and tyres especially, flex on every drive, with temperature swings and under load. A rigid coating would crack and flake here within a few weeks. So SONAX deliberately built the Si-carbon formula for Plastic+Rubber to stay elastic: the cross-link structure allows micro-movement without the protective layer cracking. That's the technical reason a separate coating for plastic is needed, and why you shouldn't just lay your paint coating onto the trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply plastic coating properly — prep, application and curing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the \u003cstrong\u003eplastic coating\u003c\/strong\u003e correctly is what decides the durability and the look.

After that, the plastic parts you're treating have to be degreased with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e — this step isn't optional. Old silicone residue from previous plastic dressings stops the coating from bonding properly. Wipe every surface with a clean microfibre cloth and Prepare until the cloth shows no more residue. The surface has to be absolutely clean, dry and grease-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eapplication\u003c\/strong\u003e, use the foam applicator pads supplied. Put a few drops of the coating on the soft side of the pad and spread it thin and even across the plastic surface in small sections. Work methodically — say the left trim first, then the right, then the bumper. After three to five minutes of dwell time, wipe off any excess product with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Don't wait too long: once the coating dries on, it's hard to get off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuring\u003c\/strong\u003e needs at least six hours in a dry environment — twelve hours is better for the chemical reaction to finish. During that time the car mustn't get wet, and the treated surfaces mustn't be touched. So plan the job so the car can sit in a garage or hall overnight. Once fully cured, the coating is car-wash-proof and develops its full water and dirt repellency. A good sign of a successful cure: spray water on the treated surface and it should bead off in clean drops rather than form a film. You can use this beading effect as a quality check after the curing time — if there's no beading, the coating may have gone on too thin, or the prep wasn't good enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes four applicator pads — enough for a whole car, plastic parts and tyres included. On big SUVs or cars with a lot of plastic add-ons, a second set can make sense. The 50 ml of coating fluid goes a very long way — with correct, thin application you'll usually have some left over for a second pass or a touch-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFaded trim and tyre care — ideal use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e does its best work on two surfaces: badly faded plastic trim and tyres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003etrim and bumpers\u003c\/strong\u003e the effect is most dramatic when the plastic has already faded noticeably. The coating brings back the rich black and locks it in for up to two years. On older cars or used cars that have stood outside for a long time, a plastic coating can take years off the car's overall look. In a detailing business this is a popular upsell: the plastic revival is visible to the naked eye and instantly obvious to the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003etyres\u003c\/strong\u003e, the coating offers an interesting alternative to ordinary tyre dressings. Instead of reapplying after every wash, the ceramic layer holds for several months. The tyre gets a subtle satin sheen without the typical wet-look of cheap tyre dressings. You do have to be honest here, though: on tyres the durability is shorter than on plastic trim, because the mechanical load from road contact and flexing is higher. Count on three to six months rather than 24. Still far more than any spray dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating also does well on wheel-arch liners, unpainted mirror caps, plastic door handles and wiper arms. It isn't suited to already-painted plastic parts (those belong to the paint workflow) or to rubber seals around the doors — there, plasticiser-rich seal dressings are the better choice, because seals need to stay flexible and the coating adds nothing over a good rubber dressing here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing many people underrate: the coating's effect is cumulative. Lay down a second layer after 18 to 24 months and you boost the UV protection and deepen the colour revival once more. On cars whose plastic has already aged and gone porous, the first layer can't seal the full depth of the surface. The second layer closes the remaining pores and gives an even richer, more even black. In professional detailing it's even worth applying two layers straight away on badly weathered parts, with six hours of curing between them — the result clearly beats a single thick coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlastic coating compared — ceramic coating vs. silicone-oil dressing vs. plastic dressing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn plastic care there are three basic approaches: ceramic coatings like the CC Plastic+Rubber, silicone-oil dressings and water-based plastic dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-oil dressings\u003c\/strong\u003e like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger\u003c\/a\u003e are the fastest, cheapest option. Apply, let it dwell, done. The downside: the effect lasts two weeks at most and the dressing partly washes off at every clean. For customers who top up their plastic at every wash, that's fine. For detailing businesses that have to deliver a lasting result, it isn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater-based dressings\u003c\/strong\u003e give a richer shine than silicone oils and last a bit longer — typically three to six weeks. They're the go-to in the show-and-shine world, where maximum visual impact is what counts. The durability stays limited, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e plays in a different league: 24 months instead of 24 days. The price per application is higher, but spread across the lifespan the coating is the most economical solution. For the home user who'd rather treat their plastic twice a year than at every wash, the coating is the most convenient option. For the detailing business it's the most professional — because the customer comes back twelve months later and the trim is still black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother difference that shows up day-to-day: how dirt clings. Silicone-oil dressings tend to pull dust and pollen in like a magnet — the oil film acts like flypaper. Surfaces coated with Si-carbon technology, by contrast, are anti-stick: dirt clings far worse and gets washed away at the next clean, or even by rain. In practice that means the plastic parts stay much cleaner between washes — an effect that jumps out straight away on light-coloured cars with black plastic add-ons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars washed daily — rental cars, company cars or taxis — the long-term angle of the coating really matters. Here an ordinary plastic dressing would literally get washed off every day. The ceramic coating, on the other hand, stands up to the mechanical stress of frequent washing and still holds for six to twelve months even under those extreme conditions. For fleet managers who have to guarantee a consistent look without daily upkeep, that's a serious advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying plastic coating — who the CC Plastic+Rubber is worth it for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at detailing pros and demanding home users who want to take their plastic care up a level. It makes the most sense on cars with large unpainted plastic areas — SUVs, off-roaders, commercial vehicles and older saloons with black bumpers get the most out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cstrong\u003eprofessional detailing business\u003c\/strong\u003e the coating is an excellent companion to paint protection. If you seal the paint with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-one-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One\u003c\/a\u003e, don't leave the plastic out — faded trim next to freshly coated paint stands out all the more. The CC Plastic+Rubber rounds out the whole-car protection and delivers a consistent result across every surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003ehome users\u003c\/strong\u003e, the coating pays off from the second year of use: instead of applying a plastic dressing every two weeks, you treat the parts once and you're set for 24 months. The set with 50 ml and four applicator pads is sized for a whole car. Plan the first application for a day with stable weather and access to a garage — the twelve hours of curing without moisture are the single most important condition for a long-lasting result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more practical note on care after coating: in the first few weeks, keep insect removers and alkaline pre-cleaners off the coated plastic. For routine washing, use pH-neutral shampoos like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-actifoam-energy-reinigungsschaum\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ActiFoam Energy\u003c\/a\u003e — it's pH-neutral and won't attack the ceramic layer. For stubborn dirt on the plastic, a soft microfibre cloth with warm water is enough. The coating's hydrophobic nature means most grime just runs off during a normal wash — you'll notice the coated parts need far less attention at wash time than they used to. And that, in the end, is the coating's biggest day-to-day win: less upkeep for a better result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"50ml + 4x applicator pads","offer_id":53520119333199,"sku":"D1-SNX-2410000","price":45.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-plastic-rubber-kunststoffversiegelung_50ml.png?v=1730647085"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-headlightcoating-scheinwerferversiegelung","title":"PROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" HeadlightCoating Headlight Sealant","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKeep plastic headlights from yellowing for good with SONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating do?

That's exactly where the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in — a long-life ceramic sealant on a silicon-carbon base that forms a UV-resistant protective layer after polishing and keeps the clear effect for up to 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-life UV protection for up to a year.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silicon-carbon layer absorbs and reflects UV rays before they can attack the polycarbonate plastic underneath.

Polish the headlight first with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-headlightpolish-scheinwerferpolitur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/a\u003e, then clean the area with isopropanol, and only lay the coating down on a fully degreased, dry headlight. And keep an eye on the weather — the four hours of curing time without moisture aren't optional, they make or break how long it lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadlight sealant with Si-Carbon technology — how the coating works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e sealant is built on the same Si-Carbon technology SONAX uses in its paint coatings — tuned to the specific demands of polycarbonate headlights. As you apply it, the silicon-carbon compound reacts with the humidity in the air and forms a glass-like, transparent layer that bonds chemically with the plastic surface. That layer is far harder than the plastic underneath and acts as a physical barrier against UV, oxidation and chemical attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference from simple plastic dressings or spray sealants is fundamental: where those products just sit on the surface and get stripped off at the next wash, the HeadlightCoating forms a semi-permanent bond. A lifespan of up to 12 months is realistic, provided the prep is right — on a poorly prepped headlight that's still dirty or greasy the coating can't grip properly and flakes off far sooner. Prep is the deciding factor here, not the coating itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth getting straight: the HeadlightCoating is no miracle cure that makes an already badly yellowed headlight clear again. It's a protective product that locks in the condition after a restoration. If you've got a milky, yellowed headlight, you first have to strip the damaged top layer with a headlight polish and bring the clarity back. Only then does the coating make sense — but then it really does the job, because it protects the freshly exposed, clear surface from going off again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing a lot of people miss: ambient temperature and humidity affect the cure directly. The sweet spot is between 15 and 25 °C at medium humidity (40–60 %). When humidity is too low (under 30 %, typical in heated workshops in winter) the cross-linking slows down a lot — the coating then needs far longer than four hours to reach its final hardness. When it's too high (over 80 %) you can get hazing. Day-to-day that means: in summer, apply in the morning or evening; in winter, air the workshop briefly and only then coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the headlight coating — step by step to a professional seal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the \u003cstrong\u003eheadlight sealant\u003c\/strong\u003e takes care, but it's doable for ambitious hobby detailers too. The process splits into prep, application and curing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart with \u003cstrong\u003eprep\u003c\/strong\u003e: clean the headlight thoroughly of bug splatter, road grime and grease. If the headlight shows haze or yellowing, polish it first with a suitable headlight polish like the SONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish — machine work with a small polishing pad on a dual-action machine gets you the best results. Then wipe the whole surface down with a microfibre cloth soaked in isopropanol to pull off every polish residue and grease trace. The headlight has to be dry and residue-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003eapplication\u003c\/strong\u003e, tear open a 5 ml sachet and put the contents on a clean SONAX PolierVliesTuch. Spread the coating thinly in even, overlapping passes across the whole headlight surface. One sachet covers both headlights on a car — the product goes a very long way, so don't lay too much in one spot. Wipe off any excess coating right away with a dry SONAX MicrofaserTuch before it dries on. Dried-on residue is hard to get off and leaves uneven patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecure\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most critical step: the car must not touch water for at least four hours. In that time the silicon-carbon layer cross-links and builds its final hardness. The first car wash should happen a week later at the earliest, so the coating can build its full chemical resistance. Ideally apply the coating in a garage or covered hall — not in rain, high humidity or direct sun on hot headlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake day-to-day: laying on too much product at once. The coating is meant to be ultra-thin — visible puddles or run marks point to overdosing and lead to an uneven cure. When you put the sachet contents onto the PolierVliesTuch, work them into the cloth first before you touch the headlight. That way you avoid concentration differences and get an even film thickness. If you notice a spot has gone on too thick during application, take it off straight away with a dry microfibre cloth and even the material back out. Once it's dried on, the only fix left is polishing it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRestoring yellowed headlights — when the HeadlightCoating shows its full strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic use case for the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e is the combination of headlight restoration and a follow-up seal. In professional detailing this combo is standard fare: first the yellowed headlight is wet-sanded with stepped abrasives (P1500 to P3000) and then machine-polished until the surface is crystal clear again. Then comes the coating as long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithout that protection the yellowing typically comes back within three to six months — because polishing strips off the factory UV layer the manufacturer applied during production. The HeadlightCoating replaces that factory layer and gives the headlight its UV resistance back. That's the reason polishing on its own is no lasting fix: you remove the damaged protective layer along with the haze, but without new protection the cycle starts over. In detailing businesses we see it day-to-day: customers come back every few months because their headlights have gone milky again — and that's even though the polish was spot-on last time. The missing seal after polishing is almost always the cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a professional workflow it pays to offer headlight restoration as its own package: wet sanding with P1500 and P3000, machine polishing with the SONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish, degreasing with isopropanol and finally the CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating. That full process takes about 20 to 30 minutes per headlight and can be marketed as an add-on to a detail. The material cost is small — the biggest cost factor is labour time, not the product itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn new cars or freshly polished vehicles the coating can make sense as a preventive step too — especially on cars that often sit outdoors and take a lot of UV. If you live in southern Germany, Austria or Switzerland and can't park your car in a garage, you'll notice the difference after one summer: coated headlights stay clear, untreated ones show the first signs of haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product hits its limits with headlights whose yellowing comes from the inside — say from moisture that's worked its way in or off-gassing from the bulbs. The coating only protects the outside. If a headlight stays cloudy despite an exterior restoration, the problem is on the inside, and the only fix here is a replacement or a teardown with interior cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important point: the HeadlightCoating isn't suited to glass headlights, the kind fitted to some older cars and certain premium models. Glass headlights don't yellow from UV — their issue is more mechanical wear from stone chips. So before you use the product, check whether your car actually has polycarbonate headlights. On the vast majority of cars from model year 2000 on it does, but on classics and some European sports cars you'll still find glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadlight sealant comparison — ceramic coating vs. clear coat vs. film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the ceramic coating there are two other common ways to give polished headlights lasting protection: clear-coat spray sealing and transparent protective film (PPF).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClear coat\u003c\/strong\u003e in spray cans offers robust, durable protection and can last several years when applied correctly. The downside: the application calls for masking, even spraying and a dust-free environment. Runs and orange peel are common slip-ups. On top of that, clear coat isn't reversible — if it goes on unevenly, the whole lot has to be sanded off. For high-throughput professional use, clear coat is too much work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePPF film\u003c\/strong\u003e (Paint Protection Film) offers the best mechanical protection and a lifespan of several years. That said, wrapping headlights is demanding, calls for special cut patterns and professional handling. The cost per headlight sits well above the coating — for customers on a tight budget or on lower-value cars, film is often overkill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX HeadlightCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e sets itself up as the practical middle ground: easier than clear coat, cheaper than film, with a lifespan of up to 12 months that's plenty for a yearly refresh. For detailing businesses the single-dose portions mean predictable material use — one sachet per car, no mixing, no offcuts. For the end customer the application is straightforward enough to do yourself after a polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that stands out in a head-to-head: clear coat and film are methods you do right once and then forget for years. The ceramic coating, on the other hand, needs a yearly refresh — which sounds like a downside at first, but has the upside that you inspect the headlight each time and catch small bits of damage early. On top of that, reapplying takes five minutes and needs no fresh sanding, as long as the surface is still intact. In a professional setting you can market that as a recurring service — a yearly headlight check with a coating refresh for a tidy flat fee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying a headlight sealant — who the HeadlightCoating pays off for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC HeadlightCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at two groups: professional detailers who want to offer their customers durable protection after a headlight restoration, and committed hobby detailers who want to protect their own headlights for good after polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003edetailing business\u003c\/strong\u003e the product is especially appealing: the portioned sachets kill off dosing errors and wasted material. Ten sachets in a set mean 20 car applications — at a predictable material price per car. Compared with wrapping, the coating saves a lot of time and lowers the bar for offering headlight restoration as an add-on. It works brilliantly as an upsell after a standard detail too: polishing headlights takes 15 minutes, laying the coating down another 5 — the extra effort is minimal, the customer benefit visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eprivate users\u003c\/strong\u003e the coating pays off above all on cars that sit outdoors for good and whose headlights already show the first signs of haze.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger\u003c\/strong\u003e is the professional care product for exactly this job: formulated specifically for rubber and tyres, sold in pro bulk containers and built for continuous use in car washes, detailing shops and fleet care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeds and protects every rubber and tyre surface.\u003c\/strong\u003e The care formula works into the rubber structure, replaces the plasticisers that dry out over time and lays down a protective film that fends off UV, ozone and chemical load.

Black exterior rubber (window seals, rear-spoiler rubber, bumper trim) blacks up evenly and comes back like new.

Apply it with an applicator sponge or a soft cloth and work it in evenly. For a natural, matte shine go thin and let it soak in well — for a heavy wet look lay it on more generously and wipe back less. Whatever you do, keep all care product off the brake discs and pads. The GummiPfleger works on inner rubber seals too (door frames, boot lid) — here the care formula stops them freezing up in winter and sticking in high summer heat. As a partner product for black exterior plastic trim we'd point you at the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRubber tech: how the GummiPfleger regenerates tyres and rubber parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber is a composite of natural or synthetic polymer chains (elastomers) cross-linked by vulcanisation, with plasticisers giving it that characteristic flexibility. In service rubber parts steadily lose those plasticisers to UV, ozone, temperature swings and chemical attack — the rubber goes hard, grey and cracked. That process is irreversible once it's gone too far, but regular care slows it right down and in the early stages can even partly reverse it. On cars that sit in the sun a lot — no underground parking, or regular runs through sunny regions — that ageing speeds up sharply, which justifies a tighter rubber-care interval (every 4–6 weeks rather than quarterly).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber care product carries active agents that work into the rubber structure and partly replace the spent plasticisers — the rubber gets more flexible, the colour comes back from faded grey to deep black, and a protective film shields the surface from further UV and ozone load. That mechanism makes rubber care a preventive and a restorative tool at the same time: used regularly it stops the breakdown; used on already-weathered rubber it slows further ageing and lifts the look a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyres bring rubber care a particular challenge: tyre rubber holds not just elastomers but carbon black (for the black colour and UV protection), fillers and specific additives. Tyres greying out is often down to the built-in ozone protectant migrating out (wax fractions in the rubber that bleed out and form a white film) — that's normal and a sign the tyre's UV protection is doing its job. The GummiPfleger lifts that wax layer, blacks the surface and lays down a complementary protective film without touching the tyre's internal protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the GummiPfleger properly — workflow for tyres and rubber seals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way to apply the rubber and tyre care depends on where it's going: tyres and exterior seals on one hand, inner seals on the other. For tyres the rule is: wash first (scrub the sidewalls thoroughly with a brush, pull off brake dust and grime layers), then dry, then apply the care product. Moisture on the tyre dilutes the care product and hurts how deep it penetrates — a dry tyre takes the GummiPfleger up far better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication method for tyres: with an applicator sponge or a soft cloth, lay the care product evenly onto the sidewall, using circular or sweeping strokes. Dwell time of 2–3 minutes, then wipe back the excess. Don't pull away onto a wet road with freshly dressed tyres — the care product can raise grip slip on the road at first, until it's fully dried in. In a service setting (e.g. a car wash) give it at least 2 minutes' dwell before the car leaves the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor rubber seals (door frames, boot-lid seals, window seals): work the care product on sparingly with a soft rag or cotton bud and rub it in well. For inner seals that suffer in winter (freezing, sticking), a treatment in autumn keeps the seals supple. Keep care product off any plastic or paint right next to the seals — mask carefully when you apply, or wipe it straight off after the treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn automated car washes especially, dosing is everything: too much care product means slippery tyres and ugly run-off residue on the underbody — the recommended amount per tyre is 3–5 ml. With the right dosing system and foam applicators you control the amount precisely and get even coverage across the whole sidewall. Wash operators running the product in automated systems should check viscosity and pump-system compatibility up front — dialling it in to the specific line locks in even results on every car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works: how the GummiPfleger is used in pro operations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bulk concept of the GummiPfleger is squarely aimed at non-stop professional use. In car washes tyre care is a high-appeal add-on service that drives customer satisfaction and extra revenue: a clean, deep-black tyre after the wash is, for many customers, the most visible quality marker of the whole job. With the 60-litre container and an automatic dosing system the GummiPfleger slots seamlessly into the car-wash workflow — economical and consistent across hundreds of cars a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn professional detailing shops rubber care is part of wrapping up every full detail — dressed tyres round off the look and tell the customer the car was handled head to toe. On top of that, rubber care on seals is a preventive service area: customers with regularly cared-for seals see fewer problems with a leaky car or doors jamming in winter — a service value that goes beyond pure cosmetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fleet operations running large vehicle fleets the GummiPfleger in the 60-litre container is the most economical option for regular fleet care. Commercial vehicles, transport vehicles and company fleets often get cut back to a standard wash — with the GummiPfleger you lift the fleet's cared-for look noticeably with minimal effort. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-reifenglanz-wet-look-reifenpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ReifenGlanz \"Wet Look\"\u003c\/a\u003e offers a sprayable tyre care alternative for quick one-off jobs without an applicator sponge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGummiPfleger compared — how it differs from other tyre care products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyre care splits into different product categories: tyre-shine sprays for quick one-off jobs, gel coatings for long-lasting tyre protection, and concentrated care products like the GummiPfleger for economical non-stop use. The key differences come down to application format, durability and cost per use. Spray products are easy to lay down but comparatively pricey per use and only come in small containers — ideal for the private customer, but not economical for a pro operation running lots of cars a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GummiPfleger as a concentrated care product in bulk gives you the best cost per use and suits every application format — sponge, brush or diluted through dosing systems. Penetration is better with direct application onto dry rubber surfaces than with spray products that go onto wet tyres. For the best care effect and durability, sponging it onto a dry surface is clearly the way to go — the spray route is faster but less effective at getting into the rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst products for exterior plastic parts (like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-plastic-protectant-exterior-kunststoffpflege\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PlasticProtectant \"Exterior\"\u003c\/a\u003e), the GummiPfleger is formulated specifically for the particular chemistry of rubber elastomers. Plastic and rubber may look alike but they're chemically different — a plastic care product can react differently than you'd expect on rubber. For the best results on tyres and rubber parts the dedicated rubber care product is the safe call, while the PlasticProtectant is the better answer for bumpers, trim strips and other thermoplastic exterior plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger — container sizes and economics in pro use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GummiPfleger\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in two container sizes aimed at different pro needs. The 5-litre container is ideal for detailing shops that regularly work several cars a week and build tyre care in as a standard service — five litres, dosed sensibly, covers a great many full tyre treatments. The 60-litre container is built for car washes and fleet operations with daily high-volume use — here the bulk investment pays off through a much lower price per litre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cost-per-use comparison really brings home how economical the GummiPfleger is: at an average dose of 10–20 ml per car (four tyres + seals) the 5-litre container covers 250–500 full treatments. For a shop handling 10–20 cars a day, the 5-litre container is a month's supply — and the 60-litre container is then the logical next step for operations with higher throughput or for car washes running the GummiPfleger on automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line, the PROFILINE GummiPfleger is the right pro tool for anyone who wants to run tyre care and rubber preservation at scale with maximum economy. The formula delivers reliable results in both look and care effect — and thanks to the bulk container, cost control stays easy to budget even at high volume. Offer tyre care as a service module and you don't just lift the customer value of the detail, you stretch your customers' tyre life too — a double win for any professional operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53623661232463,"sku":"D1-SNX-3405050","price":69.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"60 liters","offer_id":53623661330767,"sku":"D1-SNX-3408000","price":788.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"200 liters","offer_id":53623661363535,"sku":"D1-SNX-3409050","price":1993.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-gummipfleger-gummipflege-reifenpflege_5-liter.png?v=1731055849"},{"product_id":"meguiars-ultimate-interior-shine-protectant-innenraumpflege","title":"Ultimate Interior Shine Protectant Interior Care","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDeep shine, active protection — the Meguiar's Ultimate Interior Shine Protectant for your interior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat's the difference between an interior care spray and an ordinary dashboard spray?

Then wipe gently with a clean side of the cloth until the surface looks evenly satin-matte. Keep it off the steering wheel, gear knob and pedals – there a plain clean (InsideUp) is enough, because grip is what counts. On badly faded plastics you can repeat the coat once it's fully flashed off. After care dust comes off more easily and fingerprints show up less. For leather the line stays clear: clean with InsideUp or target it with LeatherTexClean, then care with LeatherLock.

On boat vinyl, console and cabin plastics you use InsideCare after a thorough clean with InsideUp. The product lays down thin and even, cuts that typical salt-haze look and gives a rich, non-greasy surface. Work in the shade on cool materials – direct sun or hot surfaces shorten the flash-off time and can lead to patchy results. Upholstery and large vinyl that's more exposed you can lock in with VinylGuard if needed; that keeps cleaning easier and the feel consistent for longer. InsideCare isn't meant for gelcoat exteriors – out there you reach for CleanMarine, the polishing chain (RoughCut\/FineCut\/PerfectOne) and finally BodyGuard for the hydrophobic protection.

What starts out as an eyesore ends up as a material problem. GYEON Q²M Preserve stops that clock: the SiO₂ layer works as a UV barrier, keeps moisture out and leaves a hydrophobic surface behind at the same time. Dirt and salt cling less, cleaning gets easier, and the plastic itself stays protected long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t just a show-car thing – on a daily driver too, Q²M Preserve used regularly adds noticeable life to your exterior trim.

The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-trim-cleaner-kunststoffreiniger-stark\"\u003eGYEON Q²M TrimCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is ideal here – it doesn’t attack plastic surfaces, but it cleans deep enough to leave a proper key for the coating to bite into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it’s clean, let the panels dry out completely. Work above 10 degrees Celsius if you can – in the cold the SiO₂ cross-linking can stall. Bring the car up to temperature indoors or with a heat lamp if you need to. The effort pays off: on a well-prepped surface the Preserve layer holds noticeably longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication: simple and forgiving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ²M Preserve goes on thin and even with a clean foam or microfibre applicator. Don’t wipe it straight after – the layer needs 30 to 60 minutes (depending on temperature and humidity) to flash off and start curing. Only then – and only if there’s anything left – do you take the excess off with a soft microfibre towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn badly greyed panels you can lay a second coat once the first has fully cured (4 hours minimum). After the last coat, keep the car away from water for 4 to 6 hours if you can.

Oil and silicone products build a physical film that weather and mechanical contact wear away – often after just a few washes. GYEON Q²M Preserve cross-links chemically instead: the SiO₂ molecules bond with the polymer chains in the plastic. That makes the layer far more durable, much harder to wash off, and gives the trim a more natural, less plasticky look along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the last bit of visual polish for a show or a meet, you can spray the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gyeon-q2m-quickdetailer-quick-detailer-carnaubawachs\"\u003eGYEON Q²M QuickDetailer\u003c\/a\u003e over the cured Preserve layer as a top layer.

GYEON Q² Trim EVO works SiO₂ compounds into the plastic surface, fills the pores and cuts down the gassing-out of plasticisers. At the same time it puts deep black pigment back into the material.

Q² Trim EVO works differently: the SiO₂ compounds form a chemically stable layer that does not simply wash off.

The \u003cstrong\u003eMeguiar's NATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e goes the other way: it cares for and protects plastic, vinyl and rubber inside the cabin while leaving a natural, satin-matte finish that matches how the material looked from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural, matte finish with no greasy shine.\u003c\/strong\u003e The NATURAL SHINE doesn't leave that slick, glossy look.

Too much product and you get shine you didn't want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCar interior plastic care – a natural finish, not cockpit shine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e was built as the answer to classic cockpit sprays that coat the cabin in a greasy gloss film. That wet-look was big in the '90s, but today it reads as cheap and neglected. Modern interiors are all about matte, velvety surfaces – and that's exactly the look the NATURAL SHINE keeps and protects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is built on light silicone emulsions and UV absorbers. The silicones lay down a wafer-thin protective film that shields the surface from the elements without changing how it looks. The difference from oily cockpit sprays: these silicones flash off matte and never feel tacky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV protection matters most on interior plastics. The dashboard takes more UV than anywhere else in the car – the windscreen lets a big chunk of it straight through. Left unprotected, the plastics fade within a few years and start to crack. The NATURAL SHINE slows that right down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDressing your dashboard – how to apply it and what you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the \u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e couldn't be simpler: give a soft microfibre cloth 2–3 sprays and spread it evenly over the surface. Work in sections – dash first, then the door cards, then the centre console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing: less is more. A thin, even coat gives you the most natural result. Too much and you get a shine you didn't want, which is the opposite of what the NATURAL SHINE is about. If you end up with glossy patches, just buff them back with a dry cloth until the matte finish comes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result: plastics that look cared-for, rich in colour and naturally matte. Not brand new, not oiled up, not neglected – just the way a well-kept car should sit. The protective film holds for 2–4 weeks depending on use, then you top it up in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior plastic protection – UV defence and the long game\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-term payoff of the \u003cstrong\u003eNATURAL SHINE Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e shows over months and years: plastics that get protected regularly hold their colour and flex far longer than untreated ones. It's clearest on cars that live out in the sun – compare the driver's side with the passenger side and you'll spot the UV difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of the UV side, the film keeps dust and grime from settling into the pores of the plastic. That makes the next clean far easier – and cuts down how much work the interior needs over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works on every plastic and vinyl part inside: dash, door cards, centre console, steering column, glovebox lid and the A\/B\/C pillar trims.

The difference: the NEW CAR SCENT carries a new-car scent that makes the cabin smell fresh off the lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn protection and finish quality the two are on par.

In reality the \"New Car Smell\" is a mix of off-gassing from fresh plastics, leather and adhesives – a smell most people instinctively tie to newness and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance concentrate in NEW CAR SCENT is formulated to release slowly off the plastic surfaces. The upshot: right after you apply it the scent is strong, then it eases off over 3–5 days. That's far nicer and longer-lasting than fragrance sprays, which hit hard straight away and vanish within hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the scent is tied to the trim care, it gets topped up every time you dress the interior. Treat the cabin every 2–3 weeks with NEW CAR SCENT and you'll keep a fresh-smelling interior for good – a bonus that really lands with high-mileage cars or pet owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScented interior care – how to use it and what you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou use the \u003cstrong\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e exactly like NATURAL SHINE: spray the product onto a microfibre cloth and spread it evenly over the plastic surfaces. The dashboard, door panels, centre console and A\/B\/C pillars are the usual spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame rule here: less is more. A thin coat gives you the natural finish and enough scent for several days. Too much product can leave an overwhelming smell at first and an unwanted shine. If you overdo it, buff back with a dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe care result is identical to NATURAL SHINE: a natural, matte finish, UV protection, no sticky residue.

You don't clock it the second you get in – it comes through as a pleasant background note that lifts the overall feel of the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent holds for 3–7 days, depending on temperature and ventilation. In summer heat it flashes off faster; in cooler weather it lasts longer. Reapply every 2–3 weeks and the scent overlaps and stays constantly there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent doesn't mask bad smells – it tops off a clean interior. If you've got smoke, pet or damp smells in the car, do a deep clean first and reach for a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/meguiars\/geruchsentferner\"\u003eMeguiar's Air Re-Fresher\u003c\/a\u003e before you lay down NEW CAR SCENT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNew-car scent compared – NEW CAR SCENT vs. Air Re-Fresher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeguiar's gives you two routes to a fresh-smelling car: the \u003cstrong\u003eNEW CAR SCENT Protectant\u003c\/strong\u003e as a dressing with fragrance, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/meguiars\/geruchsentferner\"\u003eAir Re-Fresher aerosols\u003c\/a\u003e as a pure scent fix.
