Forms a firm bond with the paint and carries for years. It needs a properly prepared surface and several days.

Lucerne
When specialist care warrants the journey from Lucerne.
Lucerne is beyond the immediate Zurich service area, so AVP appointments are best suited to work with substantial workshop value: correction, long-term protection, odour remediation or larger complete preparation.
We use photographs and a detailed description to decide whether the proposed result genuinely justifies the journey.
Worthwhile workshop services
Work with a result that justifies the journey.
The focus is on specialist processes that benefit from AVP's paint analysis, controlled application and detailed handover.
Done properly once.
We find the source first, clean and dry, and only then seal the process. Only in that order does it hold.
View odour neutralisationAfter the winter.
Driving the central Swiss passes carries salt and damp into places nobody sees from outside. That is exactly where we start.
View underbody cleaningFor classics.
Many classics stand through the winter in central Switzerland. We measure the film thickness before every polish and take off only what is needed.

One journey, several jobs.
At an hour away, the scheduling decides the benefit.
We decline when it does not pay
An hour's drive for a wash does not add up. We say so in advance and suggest what is genuinely worth the trip.
In a single pass
Paint correction, coating, interior and odour work can be combined in one appointment.
Coating and odour
We plan these two across German-speaking Switzerland, because their effect lasts for years.
The right moment
When an appointment from central Switzerland makes sense.
From Lucerne the drive is an hour. That makes the timing matter as much as the scope.
Before it goes up the passes
Driving into the mountains regularly means dealing with salt and grit at once. Preservation and underbody cleaning in late autumn are therefore more effective than any follow-up treatment in spring.
The salt belongs off completely
In spring this is not about appearance but about residue in wheel arches, on sills and along the underbody. Where it stays, it keeps working through the summer, even if the car looks clean.
When the car is stored for the season
Convertibles, classics and second cars often stand for months in the region. Stored clean, dry and protected they come out ready to drive in spring; stored neglected they come back as a full reconditioning job.
Region
Also for Zug, Schwyz and central Switzerland.
Central Switzerland is reached from Lucerne by the same routes.
On the way to us lie Zug and Schwyz, both closer and easier to schedule. Aarau adjoins to the north.
The same planning applies to vehicles from Kriens, Emmen, Sursee and central Switzerland. How a ceramic coating works is explained in the chemical bond. The care levels are set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Lucerne.
Answers on worthwhile services, workshop stays and remote preparation.
Will AVP say if the journey from Lucerne is not worthwhile?
Yes. If the requested work is small or can be handled appropriately closer to you, we state that rather than enlarging the scope to justify the appointment.
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.
Technical car care for Luzern
Treat the conditions affecting vehicles from Luzern.
Vehicles from Luzern are particularly exposed to lakeside humidity, visitor traffic and changing microclimates. These influences are considered separately during the condition assessment so cleaning, paint correction and protection match the actual surface condition.
Mineral residue and bonded particles are removed separately before polishing. Only then are swirls, micro-scratches and dull areas corrected with suitably abrasive polishes, avoiding unnecessary clear-coat removal.
Suitable protection makes cleaning easier and reduces renewed contamination. Product choice and layer structure reflect humidity, UV exposure, parking conditions and the planned maintenance routine.
Interior work separates textile, leather and synthetic components. Extraction, stain treatment and drying are matched to the material; ozone can support suitable odour cases after source cleaning. Planning and technical work take place in Glattbrugg.
