Koch Chemie MagicShampoo is a premium car wash shampoo that combines effective cleaning with a hydrophobic paint protection in a single wash step. The product is formulated to deliver immediate water-repellent protection to the bodywork during the washing process itself.

Thanks to its specially developed formula, MagicShampoo forms an invisible hydrophobic layer on the paint surface that causes water to bead and reduces the risk of water spots. Regular use helps to build up and maintain the protective properties of the paint surface.

The product is compatible with existing protective coatings and works well alongside more Koch Chemie products for vehicle care such as wax, Sealant, and Ceramic Coating.

What is MagicShampoo and why choose it?

Koch Chemie MagicShampoo is a 2-in-1 shampoo that both cleans and protects the paintwork in a single wash step. Unlike a conventional car care shampoo, MagicShampoo deposits a hydrophobic protective film on the paint surface, meaning that dirt and water are less likely to adhere after washing.

The product is equally well suited to classic hand washing with a bucket and Microfibre wash mitt as it is to use with a snow foam lance. It is a cost-effective option for those who want to combine maintenance washing with ongoing paint protection without requiring a separate step.

Where is this product suitable?

• Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles – regular maintenance washing
• Motorcycles, quad bikes, and bicycles
• Boats and smaller watercraft
• Detailing studios and vehicle preparation workshops carrying out routine vehicle care
• Hobby users who want to combine washing and paint protection in one step

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Koch Chemie MagicShampoo compatible with an existing Ceramic Coating or Sealant?

Yes, Koch Chemie MagicShampoo is formulated to be compatible with existing protective coatings such as Ceramic Coating, Sealant, and wax. The product helps to maintain and reinforce the hydrophobic properties of these coatings rather than breaking them down. This makes MagicShampoo a suitable maintenance shampoo for vehicles that already have a paint protection applied.

What dosage is recommended for Koch Chemie MagicShampoo when hand washing?

Koch Chemie recommends 50 ml of MagicShampoo per 10 litres of lukewarm water for hand washing. The product is supplied in a 500 ml bottle, which provides up to ten complete wash sessions at the recommended dosage. MagicShampoo can also be used with a snow foam lance – in that case, follow the lance manufacturer's instructions for the correct dilution ratio.

How does Koch Chemie MagicShampoo differ from a conventional car shampoo?

Unlike a conventional car shampoo, Koch Chemie MagicShampoo contains active components that form a hydrophobic protective layer on the paint surface during the washing process. This means the vehicle is not only cleaned but also receives immediate water-repellent protection after every wash. Regular use of MagicShampoo helps to build up the protective properties of the paint surface over time, reducing the risk of water spots and making subsequent washes easier.
