Engine-bay sequence: let the vehicle cool, mask intake and electronics, work bottom-up at 1:10, give it three minutes max, then rinse generously with a soft jet from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/universalreiniger\"\u003euniversal cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e group. For repeat jobs grab a foam sprayer — it lays the 1:10 solution down more evenly than any hand pump and buys you 40 to 60 extra seconds of dwell on vertical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1 to 5. 1 to 20. One canister, four jobs.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner the cleaning power isn't in the bottle, it's in the mix ratio. Skip the difference and you'll either clean too soft or wreck the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the workshop floor you mix 1:5 in warm water, lay it down with a scrubber or single-disc machine, give it three minutes and pick it up with a wet vac. For the lift and the engine bay 1:10 is the safe standard: it lifts oil reliably without going at rubber steering boots or wiring-loom sheaths. For exterior plastics, trim and badly soiled wheel arches 1:20 is enough. The 1:50 dilution is for routine maintenance cleans in customer reception or on tiled floors — at that point you're past \"APC\" and into a mild alkaline cleaner with residual grease-cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake shops almost always make with Green Star is the same one: too strong a mix, because \"stronger is better\" is stuck in the head. In practice 1:5 on an engine block gives you no measurable edge over 1:10 — what you get instead is higher chemical burn and the risk of overloading the corrosion inhibitor on aluminium. The real lever is dwell time: three minutes instead of two. Two passes instead of one. Never crank the concentration if the first pass came up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical dosing workflows hold up day to day. Workflow one: canister straight onto a dosing station at the water tap, ratio set through the Venturi nozzle, application by foam sprayer or pressure sprayer. Workflow two for smaller shops: two labelled 500-millilitre spray bottles, one with the 1:10 mix for engine bay and wheel arch, one with 1:20 for exterior plastics. Mix both fresh every day — alkaline working solutions lose cleaning power inside 24 hours because CO₂ from the air slowly drops the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11-kilo canister at a properly mixed 1:10 covers about 110 litres of working solution — that's roughly 40 engine-bay cleans or 15 workshop-floor passes over 100 square metres. For shops running two lifts and regular detailing the 22-kilo or 225-kilo drum pays off from three cleans a week, purely on the per-kilo price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_closeup.png?v=1775995596\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Green Star Gs label close-up with the pH 12.5 marking visible\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlkaline. But not for everything.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Green Star Universal Cleaner has workshop DNA — it's not the right chemistry for delicate interior or coating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt punches above its weight wherever organic dirt dominates: engine oil, gear oil, grease mist in the bay, soot on the workshop floor, brake-dust\/grease mixes in the wheel arches, road grime on commercial-vehicle frames. Bugs and bird droppings also soak off well with the 1:10 dilution before the actual wash. The alkaline pH saponifies the protein and turns a baked-on crust into a layer you can pull off — exactly where pH-neutral products would need you to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Green Star runs out of road is where the pH becomes the problem. On ceramic-coated paint every pass shaves a bit off the top bonding layer of the coating — for coating-sealed cars a pH-neutral shampoo or the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger\"\u003eMultipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodised aluminium, matte aluminium and polished metal you never treat neat and you always patch-test in a hidden spot first. The corrosion inhibitor protects painted aluminium reliably, but on anodised surfaces it starts to struggle. Same goes for non-anodised magnesium rims and race parts — the alkaline side bites into the surface as soon as you push the dwell past two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the cabin Green Star is plainly too aggressive: synthetic leather, Alcantara and coated dashboards don't take alkaline concentrates long-term, not even at 1:50. If you want one cleaner for both workshop and interior, that's a different chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_ergebnis.png?v=1775995602\" alt=\"Freshly cleaned Ferrari engine bay after a Koch-Chemie Green Star pass\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen Star, Gs9 or Mzr. Your decision tree.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie has three universal cleaners with overlapping use cases — the choice isn't about price, it's about what you're cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Green Star is the workshop pick: hard-alkaline, high oil-carrying capacity, built for tough exterior and underbody work. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-96-gs9-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star 96 \"Gs9\"\u003c\/a\u003e is the milder follow-up with an optimised surfactant base and lower environmental load — it doesn't replace the classic Gs, it sits alongside it for detailers who work more often on private-customer cars with coatings and less on commercial frames. The Multipurpose Cleaner \"Mzr\" runs on completely different chemistry: weakly alkaline through to pH-neutral, built for interior, dashboards, carpets and upholstery. Gs cleans the engine bay, Mzr cleans the seats after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical rule for the buy decision: if the focus is the lift, the engine bay, the workshop floor and commercial-vehicle work, grab the classic Green Star in 11 or 22 kilos. If you mostly detail private-customer cars with ceramic protection and need the APC for wheel arches, bug removal and exterior plastics, the Gs9 is the cleaner fit. If you're after a cleaner for interior, carpet and upholstery, neither Gs nor Gs9 is the right answer — that's where the Mzr lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the typical one-man detailer with a mixed customer base, the 11-kilo Green Star plus a 1-litre Mzr covers most of the actual workload: Gs for the whole exterior, the engine bay and floor cleans, Mzr for the interior. If you've got three separate APCs on the shelf — workshop cleaner, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner — this two-product setup halves the chemical cabinet and still cleans tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePack size tracks monthly throughput. The 1000-millilitre spray head is for the home detailer and the first test drive, not a working shop. From one vehicle a week with a proper exterior wash the 5-litre canister pays off; from three vehicles the 11-kilo container. 22 and 225 kilos belong in shops with a dosing station and steady commercial-vehicle work — for smaller outfits they're an unnecessary lock-in to one chemistry and harder to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger_detail.png?v=1775995607\" alt=\"Green Star working solution on the black plastic wheel arch of the Ferrari\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48494630109519,"sku":"D1-KCX-291001","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287960911,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_2","price":13.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1000ml","offer_id":48725287993679,"sku":"D1-KCX-68037_3","price":20.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":48762352468303,"sku":"D1-KCX-291005","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11kg","offer_id":48494630142287,"sku":"D1-KCX-291011","price":56.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22kg","offer_id":49094546522447,"sku":"D1-KCX-291022","price":107.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"225kg","offer_id":49094546555215,"sku":"D1-KCX-291225","price":1134.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-green-star-universalreiniger.jpg?v=1710769279"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-allround-surface-cleaner-asc-allzweckreiniger","title":"Allround Surface Cleaner \"Asc\" All-Purpose Cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReady-to-use and streak-free through the cabin with the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner?

Only on big, closed panels like door cards or the headliner do you spray straight onto the part — there the mist doesn't matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray, wait 30 seconds, microfibre after\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spray the Koch-Chemie Allround Surface Cleaner undiluted onto the surface from about 10–15 cm, let it dwell for 15–30 seconds and wipe down with a clean microfibre cloth. That's all the prep it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger panels like the dashboard, door cards or headliner, three to five squirts per part is plenty. Give the cleaner a moment to break down skin oils, fingerprints and the dust-binding layer, then wipe down evenly with the dry side of your cloth. For vents, buttons and trim strips you spray onto the cloth first and work from there into the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the headliner with extra care: only dampen the cloth, never spray the part directly. The headliner fabric mustn't get soaked, or the adhesive underneath lets go. With the ASC you work in broad, long passes so no dry edges form between the damp and the untreated areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is too much product and too long a dwell time. When the ASC flashes off, fine streaks stay behind that you then have to re-wet and wipe away — an avoidable extra round. So work panel by panel rather than across the whole surface, and keep the dwell time under a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a cleaning gun like the Tornador or Cyclone you can also work the ASC into textiles, seat seams and door pockets, where the cloth alone won't reach. The pH-neutral formula is built for it: it lifts the dirt into foam and picks back up with little residue.

That's what the product was made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn coated leather, piano black and gloss trim the neutral pH is an extra safety net that takes away the material guesswork that always rides along with alkaline interior cleaners. You don't have to think before every use about whether the product suits the material — on normal plastic, glass and leather surfaces in the car the ASC is a safe call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the ASC won't do: it won't shift old nicotine films, an oily workshop grip on the door frame or coffee stains baked into the fabric. Badly yellowed plastics on the sill or a dried cola splash in the cup holder need more muscle too.

Always dilute in the bottle first and start at 1:10. If that does the job, dial down to 1:20 next time. The most common mistake we see day-to-day: people run the dilution too strong and end up with white patches on dark plastics because the alkalinity has attacked the surface. Two passes at 1:10 give you a better, more even result than one pass at 1:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1:10 on the headliner. 1:50 on the door handle.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr works as a concentrate that you dilute fresh for every job. That sets it apart from ready-mixed \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaners\u003c\/strong\u003e like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-multi-interior-cleaner-innenraumreiniger-750ml\"\u003eKoch-Chemie MultiInteriorCleaner\u003c\/a\u003e, which come at a fixed strength you can't change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a nicotine-stained headliner or greyed fabric seats you work at 1:5 to 1:10. Spray it on evenly, let it dwell for 1–3 minutes, then work it in with a soft detailing brush in circles. The Mzr lifts the dirt chemically, the brush pulls it out of the fibres. After that you extract the dissolved soil with a clean microfibre or a wet vac. On headliners the wet vac is non-negotiable — too much standing moisture softens the textile glue and the headliner starts to sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyday interior cleaning — dash, centre console, door cards — 1:20 to 1:50 is enough. At that strength the Mzr is gentle enough for most hard plastics. The surface comes out clean and there's no greasy film left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRight after that you can lay down a plastic dressing — the Mzr leaves no residue that would block adhesion. That's what makes it the go-to prep step before any dressing. Still: on soft-touch steering wheels and rubberised grips even the weakest dilution is a gamble. Grab a pH-neutral cleaner for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the cabin the Mzr earns its name too: workshop floors with oil stains, grimy industrial machines, weathered motorhome trim. For outdoor use go 1:5 to 1:10 and let it dwell 3–5 minutes. Hit it with a pressure washer or a brush, then rinse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail Koch-Chemie doesn't flag on the product page: the Mzr leaves a subtle, clean scent on the surfaces it cleans. Not an artificial air freshener — just noticeably less chemical than comparable industrial cleaners. In a smoker's car it won't mask the nicotine smell, but after the clean the cabin smells neutral instead of like cleaning chemicals. Sounds like a side-effect, but in the bay it matters when you're prepping cars for resale or hand-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-mehrzweckreiniger-mzr-universalreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1776198150\" alt=\"Headliner cleaning with diluted Koch-Chemie Mzr from an iK Multi TR 1 spray bottle in a Mercedes-AMG GT\" width=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKoch-Chemie Mzr lifts nicotine films. Leather, it attacks.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic dirt is the home turf of Koch-Chemie Mzr: greasy fingerprints, nicotine films, soot, ink stains and that typical grey ingrained look on light upholstery after two years of daily use. The alkaline formula handles those in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour shift from clean to dirty is instant on the Mzr — the microfibre after a wipe shows exactly what came out of the surface. Most dramatic on greyed light fabric seats: the first pass often pulls two shades of difference out. That's not a marketing line — it's the chemical effect of alkaline saponification breaking down the deep-set fat soiling that a neutral cleaner can't reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie positions the Mzr as an \u003cstrong\u003einterior all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e for cars, industry and building maintenance. The pack sizes tell you the same story: the 1-litre bottle sits next to 11 kg, 21 kg and 225 kg drums. This is a workshop cleaner that also works in the car interior. That origin is where the strength comes from — the Mzr is formulated for industrial grime, and that power follows it into the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Mzr isn't the right tool: on genuine and synthetic leather with open-pore structure the alkalinity can dry out the surface and leave discolouration. Leather wants a pH-adjusted leather cleaner. On soft-touch plastics and rubberised surfaces like steering wheels or shift knobs it leaves dull patches. On painted or wrapped panels an alkaline cleaner has no business at all — even diluted 1:50, the pH still sits above 9.

If you only clean the interior occasionally and don't want to mess with dilution, grab the MultiInteriorCleaner ready to use. If you want flexibility — stronger for a smoker's cabin, weaker for the weekly wipe-down — the Mzr is the cheaper bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor day-in, day-out workshop use we run a Koch-Chemie tap on the 11-kg drum: dose the concentrate into the bottle, top up with water, done. The 1-litre bottle is the one to keep for mobile work and the detailing kit. Store both frost-free between 5 and 30 °C; sealed concentrate keeps for 24 months. Use any diluted mix within four weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne safety note to finish: the Mzr is classified as corrosive (H314) and carries the signal word \"Danger\". In the concentrate, always wear gloves and safety glasses. At normal working dilutions of 1:10 to 1:20 the risk drops a lot, but you still want to avoid prolonged skin contact.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is the universal concentrate cleaner for all of these jobs: an alkaline cleaning formula that, across different dilution levels, handles most cleaning tasks in the vehicle and workplace — and thanks to container sizes from 1 litre to 200 litres it scales economically to any operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversally usable thanks to a variable dilution system.\u003c\/strong\u003e The MultiStar ships as a concentrate and you dilute it with water before use — the dilution rate sets the cleaning strength: low dilution (1:5 to 1:10) for heavy grime like engine oil, bitumen residue and stubborn dirt; medium dilution (1:20 to 1:50) for general vehicle cleaning; high dilution (1:50 to 1:100) for more sensitive areas such as interior plastics or lighter soiling. One concentrate, lots of uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlkaline formula reliably breaks down organic contaminants.\u003c\/strong\u003e The MultiStar's alkaline surfactant formula is tuned to dissolve organic grime: grease, oils, brake dust, tyre rubber and general vehicle dirt are loosened and made water-soluble by the combination of an alkaline pH and active surfactants. The formula plays nicely with most common vehicle surfaces — paint, plastic, rubber, metal and textile all respond well to the cleaner when you dilute it properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk containers up to 200 litres for cost-effective pro use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Container sizes run from 1 litre for small businesses and occasional users up to 200-litre drums for large operations and wash bays. The price per litre drops sharply as the container gets bigger, which makes the MultiStar especially appealing for businesses burning through large amounts of cleaner every day. The concentrate approach also cuts transport weight and storage space considerably compared with ready-to-use cleaners.\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 For effective use we'd keep the MultiStar ready in labelled spray bottles at different dilutions — e.g. 1:10 for engine bay and wheels, 1:30 for general exterior cleaning, 1:50 for the interior. That way the right strength is always within reach without mixing fresh every time. Don't use it on paint in direct sun or on a very hot surface — alkaline cleaners drying off fast can leave streaks.

Always rinse thoroughly to pull off any cleaner residue — especially on paint and rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConcentrate technology — why dilution is what makes the MultiStar so flexible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate approach of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a decisive economic and logistical edge over ready-to-use cleaners: the cleaning agents (surfactants, alkalis, builders) ship in highly concentrated form and only get diluted with water at the point of use. That means a 1-litre concentrate container holds the cleaning power for 50–100 litres of ready-to-use cleaner — a 1-litre tub of concentrate cleans as much as a 50-litre tub of ready-to-use cleaner, but carries only a fraction of the weight and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiStar's alkaline action rests on two mechanisms: first, the alkaline pH (typically pH 9–11 in the concentrate) raises the solubility of organic fat molecules — in an alkaline environment, fats and oils are saponified, which makes them water-soluble and easier to wipe off. Second, the surfactants wrap soil particles through micelle formation and suspend them in the watery cleaning solution, so they get carried off with the water when you rinse. This combination is very effective against most organic vehicle grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dilution flexibility lets you use the same base cleaner for very different cleaning strengths: in the engine bay, where stubborn oil and grease come off hard, heat-resistant surfaces, a strong concentration (1:5) is right and the surfaces handle the higher alkalinity. For the cabin, where delicate plastics, textiles and Alcantara get treated, a strong dilution (1:50 or more) is needed to avoid surface damage. Getting the ratio right is the key skill — too diluted and the cleaner doesn't bite; too little diluted and it can attack surfaces or leave residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses running the MultiStar through foam lances or pressure washers, foaming behaviour matters: at the right dilution and used in snow-foam pre-wash mode, the MultiStar foams evenly and clings, which extends dwell time on dirty surfaces and improves the cleaning result. You can tune the foam consistency through the dilution and the right foam-lance nozzles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the MultiStar right — dilution ratios for every job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the MultiStar concentrate starts with the right dilution rate for the job at hand. For engine washing and heavy exterior grime: dilution 1:5 to 1:10 (10–20 % concentrate) — spray straight onto the dirty surface, let it dwell 2–3 minutes without drying off, then rinse with water. For wheel cleaning and underbody washing: dilution 1:10 to 1:20 (5–10 % concentrate) — same kind of application as the engine wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general vehicle cleaning and pre-cleaning: dilution 1:20 to 1:50 (2–5 % concentrate) — suited as a foam-lance pre-cleaner or for hand washing with the sponge. This dilution is gentle on paint and plastic surfaces and leaves no damaging alkali residue. For interior cleaning and textiles: dilution 1:50 to 1:100 (1–2 % concentrate) — extra gentle on delicate surfaces; always test on an inconspicuous spot before going over Alcantara or sensitive coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey application notes: always dilute the MultiStar fresh and don't store diluted solutions in spray bottles for long, since diluted alkaline solutions lose strength over time and can go off through microbial growth. When working with undiluted concentrate, watch your skin and eye protection — highly concentrated alkaline solutions can cause skin irritation. Keep the concentrate itself in dry, cool storage — undiluted and stored right, the concentrate stays stable for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the MultiStar fits — when the all-purpose cleaner is the most efficient choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e is especially efficient in businesses that want to cover a broad range of cleaning jobs with a single product. Detailing businesses with mixed vehicle types (cars, vans, trucks) value the flexibility: one concentrate unit can handle the van's engine bay, the car's interior clean and the truck's pre-clean — each at the right dilution. Stock keeping gets simpler, ordering gets leaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleet carers and fleet managers on regular cleaning cycles get the most out of the bulk containers: the 25-litre or 60-litre container keeps supply steady without frequent reorders, and the cheaper per-unit pricing on bulk cuts the cleaning cost per vehicle. The 200-litre drum is built for central cleaning installations where the cleaner feeds straight into machines or foam generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with specialised cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-multiclean-alkaline-vorreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiClean Alkaline\u003c\/a\u003e — developed as an optimised pre-cleaner for cold-foam pre-washing — the MultiStar offers a wider dilution range and more uses, but in turn less specialisation on the pre-wash side. If you only do pre-washing, you're better served by the MultiClean Alkaline; if you want a single cleaner for every job, the MultiStar concentrate has you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MultiStar compared — all-purpose cleaner vs. specialist cleaner in the pro shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether an all-purpose cleaner concentrate like the MultiStar or a range of specialist cleaners is the better call comes down to how the business is set up. An all-purpose cleaner brings simplicity, savings through bulk and flexibility — ideal for smaller to mid-sized operations that don't want to cover every cleaning job with a dedicated product. For especially demanding jobs (limescale removal → acidic cleaner, wheels heavily loaded with iron particles → dedicated wheel cleaner, sensitive displays → SensitiveSurface Detailer) specialist products are clearly superior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA proven strategy in well-set-up detailing businesses is the combination: the MultiStar as the base all-purpose cleaner for 80 % of all daily cleaning jobs, backed by one to three specialist products for the cases where the all-purpose cleaner falls short. This setup maximises economic efficiency (one main product in bulk) while keeping cleaning performance optimal for specific needs. The combination MultiStar + MultiClean Acid + a dedicated wheel cleaner, for example, fully covers the whole spectrum of alkaline and acidic cleaning needs in the vehicle space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst all-purpose cleaners from other makers, the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar offers the edge of proven system compatibility with other PROFILINE products and a professional formulation built for the specific demands of the vehicle segment. Household all-purpose cleaners are often tuned for other surfaces (floors, glass) and can leave residue or streaks on vehicle paint and sensitive plastics. The PROFILINE concentrate is tested on vehicle applications and certified accordingly for its compatibility with vehicle surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar — containers, price tiers and shop recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MultiStar\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 1 litre, 5 litres, 10 litres, 25 litres, 60 litres and 200 litres. For single users and small businesses the 1-litre container is a manageable entry size — the concentrate goes a long way and a litre lasts a small business several weeks or months. The 5-litre container is the most economical standard size for mid-sized operations, while the 25-litre canister is the go-to for larger businesses with daily demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price gap between the 1-litre and 60-litre containers is considerable — per 100 ml of concentrate, the price on the 60-litre container sits well below the price on the 1-litre. For wash bays and fleet care getting through several litres of cleaner a day, the investment in the big container pays off fast. The 200-litre drum is built for industrial cleaning installations and central supply setups, where the cleaner feeds straight into dosing pumps or automatic mixing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom line: the SONAX PROFILINE MultiStar is the most economical choice for businesses after a reliable, flexibly usable all-purpose cleaner in professional quality.

A highly alkaline universal cleaner from TUGA Chemie GmbH with a pH of 10.5 to 11.8 — built to saponify organic fats, oils, nicotine film and diesel soot. The formula runs on tetrapotassium pyrophosphate as the sequestrant, sodium alkane sulfonate as the anionic heavy-duty surfactant, trideceth-9 as the non-ionic co-surfactant and sodium metasilicate as the alkaline builder. Dilutes up to 1:10, ready to use in the 1 L bottle. Keep dwell time strictly under 3 minutes — metasilicates that dry on the surface burn it permanently (\"APC spots\").

The formula is built on a classic, hard-hitting APC profile: tetrapotassium pyrophosphate binds the calcium and magnesium ions in your wash water (water softening), sodium alkane sulfonate brings the primary cleaning power against heavy oils, trideceth-9 emulsifies even at low temperatures, sodium metasilicate buffers the pH for steady cleaning performance, and sodium polyacrylate keeps the dissolved dirt particles in dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTUGA Chemie from Osnabrück has been making these formulas in Germany for decades and supplies commercial detailers, workshops and serious private customers across the DACH region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism works in four phases. First, the alkane sulfonates drop the surface tension of the water, so the solution wets the dirt completely. Second, the highly alkaline environment (buffered by sodium metasilicate) attacks the ester bonds in organic fats and splits them by saponification into water-soluble soaps and alcohols. Third, the surfactants latch onto the non-polar soot and oil particles and form micelles that wrap the dirt up. Fourth, the polyacrylates and pyrophosphates stop the micelles from re-clumping — the dirt lifts off and rinses away clean with plain water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis architecture is tuned specifically for aliphatic hydrocarbons — engine-oil splatter, chain grease, diesel soot, nicotine residue, brake-oil leaks.

It is the exact opposite — the moment the water evaporates, the metasilicates and pyrophosphates crystallise as solid caustic on the surface. Those are the milky-white spots that suddenly show up in raking light, and the only way back is machine paint correction with a heavy-cut polish (cut factor 8\/10 to 10\/10 on a medium-hard microfibre cutting pad). A stopwatch is a must, not a gut feeling. On top of that: on a black bonnet sitting at 60 degrees, that 3-minute window shrinks to 30 seconds. Never work in the sun, always pull the car into the shade — that is not optional, that is damage prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilute, spray on, wait three minutes, wipe off or rinse.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard workflow starts with dilution — despite the ready-to-use look of the 1-litre bottle, it pays to thin the product for light and medium dirt. The rule of thumb: 1:1 for heavily greased engine-bay parts and shop floors, 1:5 for plastic trim and headliners, 1:10 for standard interior cleaning and door rubbers. Decant into an empty spray bottle, top up with distilled or low-lime water, give it a quick shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has to be cool — never in full sun, never on hot brake discs, never straight after the engine has run. In direct sunlight, move the car or the part into the shade. For shop work in summer, hit the floor in the morning or evening, when the concrete is cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the cleaner on evenly from 20 to 30 centimetres away. On vertical surfaces, work from the bottom up to avoid concentration gradients and run marks. Let it dwell three minutes — strictly no longer. On heavily crusted spots (baked-on bug splatter, old nicotine film), agitate during the dwell time with a soft brush or microfibre pad, no pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse off clean or wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth. For outdoor work, neutralise thoroughly with plain water or a pressure washer. For interior work you absolutely need a second, clean and slightly damp microfibre cloth — the alkaline surfactant residue has to come off, or you get streaks over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the shop, the Teufels-Reiniger is often the prep stage before paint care. Lay wax or sealant on without degreasing first and the care product only bonds loosely — durability collapses.

The official manufacturer clearance for industrial use makes the Teufels-Reiniger a crossover product between detailing and workshop supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour material groups are strictly out. First, genuine leather and Alcantara: the alkaline hydrolysis destroys the natural oils in the collagen fibres, which over time leads to cracking and embrittlement. Use pH-neutral cleaners made for leather — not a highly alkaline APC profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, unprotected or anodised aluminium: the strong alkalinity attacks the protective oxide layer, showing up as dull or whitish patches. Polished aluminium wheels with no clear-coat protection are off-limits, and so are aluminium trim strips on older cars without a seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird, hot glass fibre and carbon-fibre-reinforced parts: the surfactant solvents can loosen resin-adhesive bonds — on visible carbon parts with damaged clear coat, keep a safe distance or mask off first. Fourth, touchscreen displays with anti-reflective coating: the alkaline surfactants attack the oleophobic layer irreversibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important field note: on newer VAG soft-touch surfaces (rubberised buttons and switches in the Golf VI, Audi A4 B8 or older), the glycol-ether content makes them swell and leaves a tacky finish.

The first peak lands in spring detailing between March and May, when road-salt corrosion on suspension and wheel-arch liners, winter grime in the engine bay and grit-grease residue on shop floors all have to be dealt with at once. The second peak is in early summer (May to July), when insect resin, pollen glue and tree sap become the main cleaning job — workshops and mobile detailers order 50 percent more in those weeks than in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-litre spray bottle at around 11 EUR is the easy way in for a single car in a private household with some workshop needs — degrease wheels before sealing, clean the engine bay before care, treat oil stains on the garage floor right away. Used quarterly at 1:5 dilution, a 1-litre bottle lasts about two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-litre canister at around 33 EUR saves about 35 percent per litre and is the standard size for workshops, mobile detailers, engine tuners and bigger private garages. With weekly shop use, that is a three-to-six-month supply — per litre of working solution at 1:10 dilution it works out to about 60 cents, a clear efficiency win over ready-to-use rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOff-label, the Teufels-Reiniger has made a name as an industrial all-rounder. Manufacturer clearance officially covers truck-tarpaulin cleaning, cement floors in warehouses and machine parts in metalworking — the high pyrophosphate concentration cracks even dried-on machine-grease residue. On the detailing forum dasdetailingforum.de it gets traded around as the \"quiet workshop standard\" that covers DIY needs alongside car care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSafety note: the product is classified as eye-irritant (H319). When using it, safety glasses and nitrile gloves are a must. As a water-based product the VOC content is marginal — ventilation in closed spaces is recommended, but no professional extraction is needed.

A heavily concentrated alkaline all-purpose cleaner from TUGA Chemie GmbH (5-litre container only) with a pH of 11.0 to 13.5 — the heavy-hitter in the TUGA range. The formula is built on potassium hydroxide (caustic potash, CAS 1310-58-3) as the lead alkali, backed up by non-ionic surfactants (ethoxylated alcohols C9-C11, CAS 68439-46-3) and ethoxylated amines. VOC content sits at exactly 0.0 percent. Dilutes from 1:5 (extreme grime) to 1:30 (light maintenance). Brilliant on paint, plastics, tarpaulins, industrial floors, agricultural machinery and upholstery — strictly off-limits for unprotected aluminium, zinc, tin and anodised trim.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTugalan®\u003c\/strong\u003e is the alkaline high-performance concentrate from TUGA Chemie, sitting as a hybrid APC between a pure industrial degreaser and a detailing all-rounder. Where the already high-alkaline Teufels-Reiniger runs at pH 10.5-11.8, Tugalan works in the high-alkali band (pH 11.0-13.5), driven by its lead alkali potassium hydroxide — an extremely potent proton acceptor that chemically splits organic fats and oils into water-soluble soaps through basic ester hydrolysis (saponification).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTUGA Chemie out of Osnabrück has been making these formulas in Germany for decades, supplying professional detailers, repair shops and serious private customers across the DACH region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surfactant architecture is what sets Tugalan apart from simple industrial APCs. Instead of the usual anionic surfactants, TUGA goes with ethoxylated alcohols (C9-C11) and ethoxylated amines here — both non-ionic, both hard-water stable. They creep like crazy, work their way deep into porous grime and emulsify reliably even with chalky tap water. Anionic surfactants would form insoluble lime soaps in hard wash water, leaving a grey haze on the cleaned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cleaning runs in two stages. First, the caustic potash chemically splits triglycerides (fats and oils) into glycerine and water-soluble fatty-acid salts — non-water-soluble dirt is made water-soluble. Second, the ethoxylated alcohols slash the surface tension of the water; the hydrophobic surfactant tail binds to the leftover hydrocarbons (diesel soot, road oil) while the hydrophilic head turns toward the water — micelles form, wrap the dirt up and hold it in suspension until you rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDilutes from 1:5 to 1:30 — goes a very long way.\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat for the most extreme industrial grime, 1:5 for a heavily greased industrial floor, 1:10 for standard shop work, 1:20 for plastic trim and headliners, 1:30 for light all-purpose jobs.

Neat application belongs in heavy industrial cleaning: baked-on machine grease on steel benches or diesel soot on drain shafts. On any painted surface or in a detailing context you must go at least 1:5, and 1:10 to 1:20 as standard. If it dries on, the potassium hydroxide residue crystallises into solid caustic on the surface — those white, milky patches are baked into the clearcoat for good. Dwell time of 3 to 5 minutes max, never in the sun, never on hot surfaces. Plus: acid-rated goggles (not standard safety glasses!) and acid-resistant nitrile gloves aren't a suggestion with Tugalan, they're mandatory. Disposal goes through the EWC waste codes for strongly alkaline lyes — never into household waste or normal drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDilute the concentrate to match, spray on, wait 3 to 5 minutes, rinse with a pressure washer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard workflow starts with getting the dilution right. Rule of thumb for the most common jobs: 1:5 for heavily greased engine-bay parts and industrial steel, 1:10 for badly soiled plastic trim and industrial floors, 1:20 for standard interior cleaning in a professional detailing setting, 1:30 for light maintenance washes on upholstery and furniture. A 1-litre spray bottle with 200 ml of concentrate plus 800 ml of distilled water gives you a 1:5 mix — enough for around 50 square metres of medium industrial cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has to be cool. Never use it in blazing sun, never straight after a machine run on hot parts. In direct sunlight, move the car or part into the shade. For floor work in summer, work early in the morning or late in the evening when the concrete is cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpray the diluted solution on evenly from 20 to 30 centimetres away. On vertical surfaces, work bottom to top to avoid concentration gradients and run marks. Let it dwell three to five minutes — strictly no longer. On heavily crusted spots, agitate during the dwell with a stiff detailing brush or a microfibre pad, without leaning into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen rinse off cleanly or wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth. Outdoors, neutralise thoroughly with clean water or a pressure washer — the potassium hydroxide residue has to come off completely, or you get long-term etching. Indoors, you absolutely want a second, clean and lightly damp microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an industrial context, Tugalan is often the prep for metal-protection coatings or paintwork — degreased surfaces hold conversion layers and primers far better.
