Frequently asked questions

Questions about Amstutz Chemie

When does AVP use an Amstutz degreaser instead of an APC?

A degreaser is intended for suitable oil- and grease-based contamination, while an APC covers broader approved cleaning tasks. AVP selects by material and residue, adjusts dilution and does not automatically choose the stronger product.

What matters when using Amstutz Chemie on commercial and transport vehicles?

Large surfaces and heavy contamination require planned dilution, controlled dwell time and safe runoff. Sensitive surfaces, graphics and existing protection are assessed separately rather than treated indiscriminately.

How is Amstutz wheel cleaner checked on different wheels?

AVP first determines the surface, coating, temperature and type of contamination. Compatibility is checked in a suitable area, then dwell time and mechanical assistance are limited and the product is rinsed completely.

What role do Amstutz shampoos have after pre-cleaning?

They support the subsequent contact wash with repeatable dilution and lubrication. The shampoo is matched to water, contamination and existing protection so pre-cleaning continues cleanly.

What must happen before a care or protection stage after Amstutz cleaning chemistry?

The chemistry must be removed completely and the surface checked for residue and material reactions. Only a clean, neutrally prepared and dry surface provides a reliable basis for polishing or protection.

Technical term

Degreasing

Degreasing removes oils and residues before protection is applied. It improves adhesion and prevents bonding failures.

Technical term

All-purpose cleaner (APC)

An all-purpose cleaner is a versatile product for interior and exterior areas. Depending on dilution, it removes grease, dirt and organic residues and can be used on plastics, textiles and engine bays.

Technical term

Pre-cleaning

Pre-cleaning is the chemical or mechanical cleaning performed before polishing and protection.
