Against industrial dust.
Fine iron particles embed in the clear coat. Left there, they work their way in and leave visible specks.

Car care for Basel.
Fallout removal, paint protection and correction for vehicles from the Basel region, carried out at AVP in Glattbrugg.
Basel
Industrial fallout is the main theme here.
Basel is a good hour north-west of us via the A3. We have no branch there; the work is carried out in Glattbrugg near Zurich.
The region has a high proportion of industry, chemicals and heavy traffic, together with border-crossing motorway use in three countries. That produces more airborne particulate and more iron fallout on paint than in rural regions.
Worthwhile workshop services
Work with a result that justifies the journey.
Fallout and fine particulate cannot be washed off. They have to be dissolved, and a protective layer belongs on top afterwards.
So less adheres.
On a smoother surface dust takes hold less readily, and the next wash releases it far more easily.
View paint sealingAfter motorway miles.
Being near the border means a lot of motorway. Insect residue is acidic and burns into the clear coat in the sun.

Where fine dust and repeated washing have dulled the paint, a controlled polish brings the clarity back.

One appointment for everything.
At a good hour away, everything is planned so that a single journey is enough.
Scope agreed by phone
We go through condition and objective in advance so the workshop time is reserved correctly.
Several jobs at once
Paint correction, coating, interior and odour work are carried out in one stay rather than spread over months.
Collection and delivery
Where the scope justifies it we collect the vehicle in the region and return it finished.
What defines the region
Three loads you only get here.
Chemicals, heavy goods traffic and cross-border commuting make a combination that does not occur elsewhere in the Mittelland.
Iron particles from the air
Chemical works, port operations and rail traffic put fine iron particles into the air. They settle on the paint, bond chemically and cannot be washed off. They become visible as brown specks on light-coloured cars.
More motorway miles
Commuting across two national borders means higher speeds, more insects and more stone chipping on the front end and windscreen than purely regional driving does.
Brake dust and tight car parks
Dense traffic means frequent braking and therefore deposit baked hot onto the wheels. Added to that are knocks on door edges from narrow multi-storey car parks.
Region
Also for Riehen, Liestal and the Baselbiet.
The same planning applies to both half-cantons and the neighbouring communities.
On the way to us lie Aarau and Baden, both considerably closer and easier to schedule. If you need regular care rather than once a year, a workshop nearer to you serves you better, and we say so.
The same planning applies to vehicles from Riehen, Allschwil, Muttenz, Liestal, Pratteln and Reinach. Which level of care fits is set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Basel.
Answers on fallout, protection and planning the appointment.
Why is iron fallout a particular issue around Basel?
Industry, heavy traffic and rail movement release fine iron particles that settle on paint and bond to it. Washing does not remove them. They show as brown specks on light paint and as a rough surface when you run a hand over it.
Which care package suits my vehicle?
If you are unsure, a short consultation is the right place to start. We assess the vehicle's use, condition, interior and paintwork, then recommend a package or combination that genuinely fits. You decide on the next step afterwards. The four levels are compared under the care packages.
Do I need to know exactly which service I need?
No. Tell us about the vehicle, its condition and your goal. We will advise whether cleaning, polishing, paint protection, ceramic coating or a service workflow makes sense.
How binding are prices marked "from CHF"?
These prices provide guidance. The exact scope depends on vehicle size, condition, materials, soiling and the desired result. We agree the work clearly before starting.
Can scratches, stains or odours be removed completely?
That depends on their depth, material, cause and condition. Many marks can be removed or improved substantially. We explain what is realistic and material-safe before work begins. How deep a scratch sits decides the route, see scratch removal.
