Against UV and salt.
The layer sits between the environment and the clear coat. UV meets it first, and salt solution adheres less readily.

Car care for the canton of Schwyz.
Specialist car care for the canton of Schwyz: paint protection, odour neutralisation, correction and complete preparation at AVP in Glattbrugg.
Canton of Schwyz
When the result justifies the journey from Schwyz.
The canton of Schwyz lies southeast of Zurich. A short standard clean will not always justify travelling to Glattbrugg, but paint protection, odour neutralisation and larger preparation can benefit from AVP's controlled workshop process.
Describe the vehicle and objective first; we will explain the useful scope and expected workshop stay before an appointment is agreed.
Worthwhile workshop services
Work with a result that justifies the journey.
For clients from Schwyz, the priority is specialist work whose preparation, treatment and handover belong together.
After the winter.
Salt solution stays in shuts and wheel arches because it neither dries nor freezes there. That is where it does the damage.
View underbody cleaningLarge surfaces, long standing periods.
Motorhomes and campers have a lot of exposed surface and stand most of the time. That is exactly where protection pays off most.

Original paint is thinner and less even. We measure beforehand and work correspondingly sparingly.

What the wet does to a vehicle.
Three factors that act differently in the canton of Schwyz than in the Mittelland, and differently again from the dry Graubünden valleys.
Weeks without drying out
The northern flank of the pre-Alps catches the moisture. What lies on the paint therefore stays chemically active instead of drying off harmlessly.
Snow that stays
In the high valley winter lasts months longer than by the lake. Vehicles stand correspondingly long on wet, salted roads.
Long standing periods
Many convertibles and classics stand through the winter. Four months preserve everything that was on the paint when it went in.
Roads and parking
What the journey itself does to a car.
It is not only the climate that acts on a car in the canton of Schwyz, it is the road surface too. We see three things here more often than on the flat.
Impacts on sills and front ends
Side roads and pass approaches are gritted in icy conditions. Every stone thrown up leaves an open point in the paint. Individually they are tiny; together they are the reason sills and front aprons rust first.
Hot brake dust on the wheels
Coming down from the higher ground regularly means braking over minutes rather than seconds. The residue gets considerably hotter and bonds more firmly to the wheel surface than it does in flat-country traffic.
Gravel, dust and wet from below
Many properties in the canton have gravel or unmade parking rather than asphalt. That means stone strike from below on sills and wheel arches, dust in the cabin, and after rain a layer of mud that stays in the shuts.
Region
Also for Einsiedeln, Küssnacht and the March.
The canton is large, and the journey differs considerably from community to community.
On the way to us lie Zurich and Zug. Lucerne adjoins to the south.
The same planning applies to vehicles from Einsiedeln, Küssnacht, Lachen and the March. What road salt actually does is covered in does road salt damage a car. The care levels are set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Schwyz.
Answers on travel, useful service scope and workshop planning.
Which services justify travelling from Schwyz?
Paint protection, odour neutralisation, measured paint correction and larger complete preparation are the strongest cases. For small work, we say openly when a shorter route is more sensible.
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 Schwyz
Treat the conditions affecting vehicles from Schwyz.
Vehicles from Schwyz are particularly exposed to alpine weather, moisture and winter salt exposure. These influences are considered separately during the condition assessment so cleaning, paint correction and protection match the actual surface condition.
Photographs can help prepare a longer journey, but technical approval takes place on the cleaned vehicle. Workshop lighting, paint assessment and layer measurement where required determine the pad, polish and machine technique.
For multi-stage correction or protection, pre-cleaning, degreasing, correction and sealing are planned as one process. The scope, collection and subsequent care therefore match the vehicle's actual use.
Paint, wheels, plastics, rubber and cabin materials are handled separately. Deep extraction and drying follow a controlled sequence; ozone only supplements source cleaning for suitable odours. Workshop work takes place in Glattbrugg.
