Faqs
What is Koch-Chemie?
Koch-Chemie is a German manufacturer of professional automotive detailing chemicals — foams, shampoos, cleaners, compounds, and protection products used by professional detailers and enthusiasts. In the U.S., the brand and its products are often referred to by the shorthand “KCX.”
Koch-Chemie made in Germany?
Yes. Koch-Chemie formulates and manufactures its products in Germany and distributes them internationally, including through authorized U.S. retailers like The Rag Company.
What's the difference between Gentle Snow Foam and Super Foam?
Gentle Snow Foam (GSF) is Koch-Chemie's entry-level, paint-safe pre-wash foam, sold in a 1-liter concentrate size suited to regular home use. Super Foam is a higher-volume, 5-liter option built for shops and high-frequency detailers who go through pre-wash foam quickly. Check each product page for full dilution and application details.
Is Koch-Chemie safe to use on a ceramic-coated car?
Yes — Koch-Chemie makes a shampoo specifically for coated vehicles, Ceramic Effect Shampoo (CES), formulated to clean without stripping a ceramic coating's hydrophobic properties. For general-purpose washing on a coated car, a pH-neutral shampoo like NanoMagic Shampoo (NMS) is also a safe choice.
Where can I buy genuine Koch-Chemie products in the US?
The Rag Company is an authorized Koch-Chemie retailer — every product in this collection is sourced through official distribution channels, not gray-market imports.
Can I build a full Koch-Chemie detailing system from The Rag Company?
Yes. We carry the full range across pre-wash foams, shampoos, all-purpose and interior cleaners, wheel and tire care, compounds and polishes, and coatings/protection — everything needed to run a complete Koch-Chemie wash and detail process from first rinse to final wipe-down.
