AVP's history is closely connected with surface care and protective treatments. Over time, that specialist focus expanded into complete vehicle cleaning, polishing, interior work and training.

The company developed care products including the RUBIN ONE range while retaining other systems for use within its workshop processes. Product development is only one part of the work: preparation and application determine whether any system can perform properly.

At the Glattbrugg workshop, every exterior treatment begins with cleaning. A controlled hand wash removes loose contamination and allows the paint to be assessed before further work is proposed.

Polishing is selected for the individual paint condition. The number of stages is not a quality measure by itself. Some surfaces need only light refinement; others justify several controlled correction and finishing steps. Original classic paint may require restraint rather than maximum correction.

Oldtimers and collector's vehicles place particular emphasis on preservation. Original colour, thin edges, historical repairs and patina can be irreplaceable. Testing and paint-thickness information help the specialist decide what should remain untouched.

Modern premium vehicles create different demands. Complex paint systems, sculpted panels and intensive use can make preparation time-consuming, but vehicle speed or price does not change the fundamentals of safe polishing.

A wax, sealant or ceramic coating completes the process by adding a sacrificial protective layer. The best choice depends on intended durability, storage, washing, budget and the finish the owner wants. Interior materials such as leather, textiles, plastics, wood and carbon require separate products rather than an exterior coating applied everywhere.

Specialist cleaning forms another part of AVP's experience. Odour treatment, water or smoke residue, lettering removal and bonded contamination all begin by identifying the source and the material affected.

The business has shared this knowledge through training courses for both newcomers and existing garage staff. A certificate records completion of the course; professional competence then develops through continued supervised practice.

Clients visit Glattbrugg from across Switzerland and occasionally from abroad. The recommendation remains based on the vehicle itself, not on distance or prestige.

Where a protective treatment includes a documented service commitment, the exact product, preparation, expected maintenance and exclusions should be recorded in writing. This is more useful than a broad durability promise detached from use.
