Whether maintenance work, minor defects or proper care: For many, tinkering about on their own vehicle is their favorite pastime. To make this easy and enjoyable, the right helpers are needed. Below we have listed some useful products that every car nut should always have at hand and that should not be missing in any hobby workshop.

A spray for all occasions

There are problems that every hobby mechanic has probably encountered at least once: squeaking door hinges, rusty locks or jammed screws. No matter where exactly the shoe pinches, our LM 40 Multi-Purpose Spray can be used universally and provides a remedy.

Our spray lubricates, cleans, loosens, protects and preserves. The LM 40 Multi-Purpose Spray keeps moving parts running smoothly and has many application possibilities. The scope of use is very diverse, from the garden to the house to the garage. A real helper in any situation.

  • Good water resistance
  • Good corrosion protection
  • Does not attack plastics, paints, metals or wood
  • Optimum flow properties
  • Minimizes friction and wear
  • Removes rust and dirt
  • Silicone-free
  • Improves electrical conductivity
  • High load capacity

Application

Thinly spray on the parts to be treated and allow to take effect. Also sprays upside down.

Rust solvent with freeze-shock effect

Rust is a problem that motorheads encounter over and over again. Whether on screws, bolts or hinges. Connections on or between components are often so heavily corroded that it is almost impossible to loosen them. Such a task then becomes real time-consuming work.

This is where our Rust Solvent with Freeze-Shock Effect comes into play. It effectively separates rusted-in parts from each other. This is achieved thanks to its very good penetrating properties in combination with the lubricating effect of the ceramic particles. The effect of cold further accelerates this by shrinking the metal parts to be loosened slightly and ensuring faster loosening of the rusted parts.

  • Minimal friction coefficient
  • Good water separation and corrosion protection
  • Neutral in contact with plastics, paint and metals
  • Rust-dissolving and fast-penetrating

Application

Spray the bolts or nuts to be loosened well and allow the product to act before loosening, depending on the extent of corrosion. In extreme cases, repeat the procedure.

Keep parts supple and smooth-running

An important helper that car nuts should always have in stock in their garage or workshop is our Silicone Spray. Why? It’s very simple: The Silicone Spray is a silicone-based parting, lubricating and protective agent that is free of mineral oil and grease and is suitable for plastic, rubber, metal and wooden parts. The spray is used, for example, on sunroofs or seat guides.

  • Pleasant scent
  • Eliminates noise
  • Excellent release agent for inert gas welding
  • Waterproofs
  • Insulates
  • Protection and care of all plastics
  • Clean use

Application

Spray the components to be treated thinly and evenly; repeat if necessary. Do not apply near painting areas. Ensure that the Silicone Spray is not sprayed on food and on machine parts that come into direct contact with food.

Quick and easy cleaning of components

Gearheads encounter dirty components or tools over and over again. Cleaning them quickly and easily is therefore one of the more common tasks in hobby workshops. This is where our Rapid Cleaner comes in. The spray is used for quick cleaning and degreasing of small components or tools in the automotive and industrial sector. It is suitable for almost all components as well as for assembly and repair work.

The Rapid Cleaner spray makes assembly work easier, cleaner and safer. Quickly and completely removes oil, grease and dirt. Parts treated will be completely free of residues and fully degreased afterwards. The spray also penetrates very well and evaporates without leaving any residue.

  • Checked and deposit-free evaporation
  • Releases resin and tar-like residue
  • Optimum penetration properties
  • Universally applicable
  • Absolutely free of acetone and chlorine
  • Eliminates oily and greasy dirt
  • Leaves no residues

Application

Spray dirty parts and let them drain. After the solvents have evaporated, the parts will be free of grease and clean.

Note: The product may attack paintwork and plastic parts. Check material compatibility before use!

Easily remove greasy dirt

Hobby mechanics always struggle with stubbornly stuck dirt. It becomes particularly challenging when gunk has accumulated on a vehicle over the years. How do you manage to remove such deposits? Our Carburetor Housing Cleaner can help here.

It is suitable for degreasing and cleaning grease-like contaminants and deposits on carburetors and injection systems – examples are housings, throttle valves, nozzles and bores. Cleaning is possible without disassembly.

  • Easy to use
  • Strong cleaning effect
  • Allows cleaning without disassembly
  • Economical
  • Quick cleaning action

Application

With the air filter removed and the engine stopped, spray all visible parts. Then spray the outer parts and let them dry. In extreme cases, repeat the cleaning process. Then start the engine and let it run at medium speed.

Note: Do not spray on painted parts. If the cleaner is intended for painted parts, it should first be tested in concealed areas for compatibility and color change.

For a long-lasting lubricating film

Whether it’s axles, plain bearings or shafts in vehicles such as cars, motorcycles or classic cars: Our “LM 47 Long-Life Grease + MoS2” comes into play almost everywhere gearheads need a long-lasting lubricating film. This high-quality special grease is a must-have in any hobby workshop.

The MoS2 content gives the selected base grease very good lubricity and high-performance properties that conventional greases do not have. During operation, a firm, wafer-thin film of molybdenum disulfide forms on the sliding points, which remains effective for a longer period of time even after the grease supply has completely failed. The grease can be used in the temperature range from -30 °C to +120 °C, even up to +130 °C for short periods.

  • Pronounced high-pressure capability
  • Increases operational reliability
  • Good corrosion protection
  • Outstanding cold and hot resistance
  • Outstanding lubricating properties
  • Highest pressure susceptibility
  • Minimizes friction and wear
  • Universally applicable

More shine with foam

With our Active Foam Cleaner, motorheads can quickly get any dirty surface clean again. It is suitable for a wide range of materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, glass, chrome and rubber, both interior and exterior. The product cleans effortlessly thanks to its active formula. And without leaving any marks or streaks. Thanks to its highly adhesive foam, it is also ideal for vertical surfaces.

  • For interior and exterior cleaning
  • Highly effective
  • Silicone-free
  • Universally applicable
  • Streak-free cleaning

Application

Shake can well before use. Spray the area to be cleaned from a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters and allow the foam to act briefly. Then wipe off the loosened dirt with a Microfiber Cloth and polish.

Note: For special coatings, check for compatibility before use.

Cleaning and sealing in one

Everyone who works on a car or motorcycle knows: Dirt on painted surfaces, often in the form of greasy fingerprints. But that is really not a problem. Our Gloss Spray Wax can be used to clean and seal paintwork at the same time.

This agent removes light and greasy dirt quickly and effortlessly. Without lengthy polishing, it gives the vehicle surface a brilliant shine. In addition, the Gloss Spray Wax evens out very fine scratches and seals the paintwork with a protective layer to best guard it against environmental influences.

  • Reflective high gloss
  • Very easy to polish
  • Removes greasy contaminants and light road dirt
  • Outstanding long-term protection
  • Protects against aggressive environmental influences
  • Very productive
  • Silicone-free

Application

  1. In the event of coarse soiling, thoroughly clean and dry the surfaces to be treated beforehand.
  2. Shake well before use.
  3. Apply a thin layer of Gloss Spray Wax evenly. Only treat one section at a time.
  4. After a short flash-off time, clean the paint surface with a Paintwork Microfiber Cloth and seal at the same time.

Note: Do not spray onto hot surfaces or use in direct sunlight.
