Koch Chemie, Gyeon Quartz, Sonax and Vonixx — what each brand brings to the workflow and why we standardise on them rather than chasing every new release.

Asking a detailer what products they use is a fair question — chemistry decides outcomes. At Kaizen Detailers we standardise on four professional brands, each in the role they are best at. None of them are supermarket brands, and none of them are chosen for marketing alone.

**Koch Chemie (Germany)** is the foundation of our wash and polish stages. Their pre-wash and shampoo chemistry is engineered for two-bucket contact wash, with realistic pH balance that does not strip wax or coating layers. Their polishing line (1.99, 2.0, 3.01) covers the cut range we need for single- and multi-stage correction. It is the brand most likely to be in our hands during the first ninety minutes of any Platinum job.

**Gyeon Quartz (Korea)** is our coating brand of record. Their SiO₂ chemistry is among the most stable on the market — repeatable application, consistent gloss, predictable cure time. We carry the full Gyeon coating range and select the right product based on the panel, paint condition and the protection horizon the client wants. Their interior coating line (Gyeon Leather Coat, Gyeon Fabric Coat) covers what their paint range cannot.

**Sonax (Germany)** sits in the maintenance and detail-sprays end of the workflow. After the heavy chemistry stages are done, Sonax detail sprays, glass cleaners and tyre dressings deliver the showroom finish without re-loading the panel with chemistry that interferes with the coating underneath. It is the brand our membership Refresh visits lean on most.

**Vonixx (Brazil)** is the wildcard, and we use it deliberately. Vonixx leads the world in interior cleaning chemistry — APC, leather cleaners and fabric specialists. Brazilian climate testing puts their interior products through humidity and UV ranges that closely mirror UAE conditions, which is why their formulas hold up here when European interior chemistry sometimes falls short.

Why standardise rather than chase every new release? Because consistency is what scales. A four-brand stack our entire team is trained on produces a more predictable outcome than a constantly rotating product list, and the chemistry of any one detail is reproducible six months later when the same client books again. That predictability is what 'professional detailing' actually means.
