Detailing1 Spotlight: Koch-Chemie Micro Cut M2.02, Pps and Soft99 Fusso Coat on the floor beside a red Tesla Model Y

Polishing oils hide holograms. Pps reveals them.

After polishing, oils fill fine scratches and make the paint look more finished than it is. Koch-Chemie Micro Cut "M2.02" removes holograms by machine from 4,000 grit. Koch-Chemie Panel Preparation Spray "Pps" degreases and shows the real result. Only then does Soft99 Fusso Coat 12 Months Wax Dark protect for up to 12 months against road salt.

MORE THAN A CAR CARE ONLINE SHOP

Detailing1.de is more than a car care and detailing shop.

The car care shop for washing, cleaning and looking after your car. 🧽🪣

Store in Nordhorn

Car Care Shop with a System — Specialist Retailer, Not Just a Shelf

For us, the car care shop is not just a shelf, but a system. From pH-neutral hand washing to mechanical decontamination and ceramic coating, our product range covers every phase of vehicle care — not just a label on a bottle, but a clear task in the process.

In the catalog, you will find chemical brands like Koch-Chemie, SONAX, GYEON, Dr. Wack (A1, P21S, S100), Soft99, Meguiar's, Tuga Chemie and INNOVACAR; hardware like FLEX and Rupes for machine polishing; Bigboi for pressure washers, iK Sprayers and SOLO for pump sprayers and foam sprayers; The Rag Company for microfiber and pads; COLOURLOCK for leather care; as well as accessories from spray nozzles to brushes and YETI transport boxes.

Every Brand is Tested In-House First

We deliberately don't carry everything. Every brand in our assortment has been tested in our own workshop before it made its way into the shop. No black-label marketing, no branded shampoo from a blending factory — only car care products that deliver in everyday use. This narrows down the selection to what works and gives us the authority to advise you specifically: which shampoo for weekly washing, which wheel cleaner for sintered OEM rims, which polish for hard clear coat.

Consultation Remains Our Core Product

Most questions when buying car care products are product questions, not order questions: Which wheel cleaner is suitable for sintered rims without attacking the rim protection? Is snow foam sufficient as a pre-wash, or is an additional surfactant-rich pre-cleaner needed? How long does a ceramic coating have to cure before the first water can be applied? Our team is available for exactly these questions via phone, chat and email – with a real car detailing background, not just a call center script.

Shipping is handled by DHL and DPD; standard parcels are delivered within Germany in one to two business days. Free shipping from 89 €. Payment by invoice, Klarna, PayPal, credit card or direct debit.

Detailing1 PRO for Commercial Users

If you are purchasing as a detailer, workshop, car dealership or fleet operator, it's worth taking a look at our B2B program. Points system in two stages (PRO and PRO Black), unlocked liter and canister containers from ten liters, direct contact person for business conditions. Upon business registration, we credit 1,000 bonus points once.

For beginners, the Detailing101 blog lays the foundations – washing techniques, order rules, common mistakes. All from workshop practice, not from manufacturer marketing flyers.

Detailing1 — Detailing Shop for Enthusiasts and Professionals

Detailing1 is a specialized car care shop based in Nordhorn. What sets us apart from traditional detailing shops: every brand in our assortment is also used in our own workshop. We don't sell what looks good on the shelf — we sell what still performs after a season of hard detailing. This combination of shop and workshop influences every product selection, every description, and every consultation over the phone.

Our clientele is divided into two groups. Enthusiasts who care for their own cars and take their craft seriously — be it their daily BMW, their weekend Porsche, or the classic 911 in the garage. And professionals: detailers, workshops, car dealerships, and fleet operators who depend on consistent results under time pressure. Both groups find the same products with us, but through different channels — the end customer directly in the shop, the professional via the Detailing1 PRO program with its own conditions and bulk containers starting from ten liters.

Shop and Workshop in One — That's Our Difference

Unlike pure online shops, you can also visit Detailing1. In our store in Nordhorn, you can hold every product in your hand, we demonstrate applications on vehicles, and you get advice directly from the people who are also available for you online. For those who want to delve deeper, the Detailing101 blog offers systematic knowledge about car detailing, paint protection, and vehicle care. In our portrait series Meet the Detailer, we also regularly feature detailers from the community. At Detailing1, it's not just about selling accessories, but about a craft with its own culture and clear tradition.
