A silicone-oil-free rubber and plastic care for your car interior that darkens floor mats, pedal rubbers and boot liners to a soft satin finish without leaving a slippery surface behind. Not meant for glossy dashboards or outdoor plastic trim that takes the weather all year.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Gummifix\u003c\/strong\u003e is a silicone-oil-free care from Koch-Chemie that cleans, feeds and matte-darkens rubber and plastic surfaces inside the car. 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. After treatment the mats look fresh and dark, without the typical plastic shine you get from cheap cockpit sprays.\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_hero.png?v=1776195706\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Gummifix Guf in the warehouse entrance with a dirty rubber mat\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free, and grippy because of it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Run-of-the-mill cockpit sprays built on silicone oil leave a slick film on rubber floor mats. 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-plast-star-pss-premium-kunststoffpflege-siliconoelfrei","title":"Plast Star \"Pss\" Premium Plastic Care Silicone Oil-Free","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eCare for door seals, protect exterior plastic for months\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlast Star \"Pss\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a silicone oil-free premium plastic care for the exterior.

If you care for your exterior plastic with PSS and also plan to mask off, foil or wax, treat PSS as the \u003cem\u003elast\u003c\/em\u003e step in the workflow. Order in practice: polish the paint, set the masking tape, then APC 1:10 as a pre-clean on the plastic, let it dry, only then put PSS on an applicator sponge, not on microfibre, which sucks too much product out of the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApply Plast Star after polishing, not before\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right order decides the result. \u003cstrong\u003ePlast Star \"Pss\"\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs after every paint job, not before. A barrier film sitting on the plastic before you polish clogs your pads and turns the paint job uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore PSS goes on the plastic, you pre-clean. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-green-star-gs-universalreiniger\"\u003eGreen Star \"Gs\" all-purpose cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e 1:10 in water, spray on, let it work briefly, rinse off. This APC pre-clean opens the pores of an oxidised bumper and lets the micro-emulsion penetrate instead of just sitting on the surface. The manufacturer doesn't prescribe this step; in practice it adds two to three months of durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the plastic is fully dry, the product goes on with an applicator sponge. Microfibre is the wrong tool here because it pulls too much product out of the bottle. For an average bumper, two firm pumps from the bottle are enough, spread evenly across the surface, work it thoroughly into the material. On tyre sidewalls a bit more, about three pumps per tyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter working it in, don't wipe again. That measurably shortens durability. PSS dries in 5 to 15 minutes depending on ambient temperature, and exactly in that phase the micro-emulsion bonds with the substrate. During drying: no water contact, no cloth, no wax on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work on a warm bumper in the sun, drying is on the shorter side. In cool weather below 12 C plan for 15 minutes, on really cold days below 5 C better skip the job because polymer crosslinking won't run cleanly. The \u003cstrong\u003ecar exterior plastic care\u003c\/strong\u003e is done after this drying time. No polishing, no buffing, no second coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA second coat brings nothing. Worse, it partly re-dissolves the layer that has already crosslinked.

Otherwise the sealant runs along the plastic edge and leaves an uneven transition. On the plastic itself PSS is not top-coatable: a wax on top builds a greasy, uneven layer that streaks after the first rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso not for grip-relevant surfaces: pedals, steering wheel, gear lever and tyre tread. The manufacturer flags this because PSS creates a slippery surface there. Interior cockpits are not the Pss application area either.

They penetrate the micro-cracks of oxidised plastic and crosslink there. Unlike a classic silicone oil film that only sits on top and brings shine, this care builds a structural bond with the substrate.

Without regular care rubber greys out, goes brittle and cracks — a process that leaves door seals leaking and tyres ageing way faster than they should. 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. That look is a big part of the finished, dialled-in impression of a freshly detailed car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk for non-stop pro use — 5 and 60 litres.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can grab it in 5 litres for regular detailing shops or in the 60-litre container for car washes and fleet operations running very high volume.

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"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.it\/en\/collections\/gummipflege.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
