- Title
Empfehlungen zur Qualitätsbewertung für Lackpflegemittel für Fahrzeuge: Teil 3: Lackpolitur.
- Abstract
The article describes recommendations for the quality assessment of vehicle care products, especially paint polishes. These recommendations are developed by the German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association (IKW) and aim to enable a qualified testing of the products. Various regulations, standards, and voluntary agreements are mentioned that need to be considered regarding the composition, packaging, and labeling of the vehicle care products. The recommendations describe the relevant qualities and evaluation criteria for paint care products and emphasize the importance of effective, health- and environmentally-friendly products. The testing methods for paint cleaners, paint preservatives, and paint polishes have been revised and should be practical, accurate, differentiable, and easy to perform. Specific instructions are provided for conducting the tests, including the dosage and application of the paint polish. The results are automatically evaluated in an Excel table. The document also describes the procedure for evaluating the wash resistance of paint polishes for motor vehicles. Specific brands and sources of supply are mentioned, as well as instructions for the use of various materials and equipment. Formulations for paint polish and matting agents are also mentioned.
