Today's focus: a shiny steering wheel is either skin oils or worn grain, and only the first one comes off. To the leather cleaners

From the blog: a taped-off test patch shows within minutes whether cleaning the wheel is still worth it. Read the wheel guide

From Thursday: it turns wet, so the protection has to go on first for the water to run off instead of clinging. Go to paint sealants

Today: at 33 degrees every product dries on the paint, so work in the shade or early in the morning. Go to car washing

Best seller: the Koch-Chemie Green Star „Gs“ covers four dilutions from 1:5 to 1:50, replacing four separate products. Go to Green Star

New on the shelf: the INNOVACAR Micron microfibre range covers drying, polishing and interior with dedicated cloths. See new arrivals

Direct advice: send us a photo of your steering wheel and we will tell you whether cleaning is enough or a colour system is needed. Start a chat
