The perfect cleaning and care for your Unimog.

For value retention and durability.

As a faithful companion on all roads, it won't be long before your Unimog gets itself dirty. And that means you will have to clean it. But maintenance is well worth it. Professional cleaning helps your Unimog to retain its value and ensures that it remains the durable and reliable workhorse you love.

For Unimog drivers, mud and dirt are par for the course. This mean that regular cleaning should be too.

The Four factors for flawless cleaning.

The Sinner’s circle, named after the chemist and cleaning specialist Herbert Sinner from the long-established German company Henkel, describes four factors that make for squeaky-clean results:

Chemistry, the cleaning agent
Mechanical force, the cleaning method
Temperature
Time

As a general rule of thumb: the more specialist and effective the chemical cleaning agent, the less time is needed for cleaning, the less mechanical force has to be applied and the lower the temperature required. This is where using a high-quality product pays off.
