That's this bundle. Koch Chemie Autoshampoo is a phosphate and NTA-free shampoo built for hand washing, running mildly alkaline at around pH 9 — it cleans harder than a neutral maintenance shampoo and lifts old wax and sealant along with the road film, which makes it the right choice for a proper reset wash before you protect. The ADBL mitt handles contact, and the Automize Water Magnet does the drying stage, where most swirl marks are actually created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"feature-title\"\u003eNothing Redundant\u003c\/span\u003e Three items covering wash, contact and dry.
