After the summer.
Insect residue is acidic and burns into the clear coat in the sun. On motorway routes a great deal collects on the front end and mirrors.

Winterthur
Specialist car care for Winterthur, planned before arrival.
Winterthur clients travel southwest to AVP for work that benefits from a specialist workshop: measured polishing, long-term protection, odour treatment and complete preparation.
We assess photographs and the intended result before booking so the vehicle does not make the journey for an undefined package.
Services around Zurich
Care planned around condition and journey.
The focus is on workshop services with a clear result and predictable stay, while collection options can be discussed for suitable projects.
From the motorway.
At high mileages the windscreen and bonnet take the brunt. We check what can still be repaired.
View stone chipsLess washing effort.
High mileage means frequent washing. A smoother surface releases dirt more easily and so reduces the fine wash scratches.
View paint sealingAfter commuting years.
Daily journeys leave marks in upholstery, carpet and cockpit that vacuuming alone no longer lifts.

How your car gets to us from Winterthur.
Three routes, depending on the job and the time available. We settle which one fits beforehand.
Twenty-five minutes
Via the A1 you reach us in Glattbrugg without driving through the city. Parking directly at the premises.
Collection and delivery
For multi-stage preparation we collect the vehicle in Winterthur and return it cared for.
CarSpa on site
For self-contained tasks we come to you. Polishing and coating stay in the workshop, because they need controlled conditions.
What we see here
What loads Winterthur cars the most.
Winterthur is an industrial city, a university town and a commuter hub at once. Three loads regularly come together because of it.
Fallout in the districts
Around the former industrial sites and along the rail yards there is more metallic dust in the air than in the surrounding countryside. On paint it shows as a rough surface you can feel through a cloth with your hand.
Insects and stone chips
There is a lot of motorway driving between Winterthur and Zurich. In summer that means insect residue on the front end and mirrors, and all year fine chipping on the bonnet and windscreen that adds up over time.
Cold and damp in winter
The valley floors cool sharply and hold moisture. Cars kept outside there develop a greenish film on the weather side over time, and that is more than surface dirt.
Region
Also for the Zurich Oberland and the Thurgau.
Winterthur lies on the route into eastern Switzerland, so appointments from the wider area are easy to plan alongside.
Towards the city lie Kloten and Bülach, both nearer still to our workshop. The Thurgau and St. Gallen adjoin to the east.
The same planning applies to vehicles from Illnau-Effretikon and the Töss valley. Which level of care fits is set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Winterthur.
Answers on workshop stays, collection and specialist services from Winterthur.
Does the vehicle need to stay overnight for paint protection?
Many coating and multi-stage correction projects do. The exact stay depends on preparation and curing; we confirm it after assessing the paint and selected system.
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 Winterthur
Treat the conditions affecting vehicles from Winterthur.
Vehicles from Winterthur are particularly exposed to regional traffic, fine dust and frequent short journeys. 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.
Heavily used vehicles receive material-appropriate treatment for cabin dust, moisture and odours. Vacuuming, extraction and drying form the core; ozone may follow source cleaning. Glass, plastics, rubber and wheels each receive surface-specific steps.
