Nanoparticles in car shampoos and active foams ensure more effective adhesion of cleaning ingredients to the surface and create a protective, self-cleaning film. Thanks to their extremely small size, they can penetrate the microstructure of the paintwork and remove even deep-seated dirt. At the same time, they enhance the hydrophobic effect, reduce dirt build-up and extend the intervals between each wash. Nanoparticles are often used in combination with polymer technologies to increase overall efficiency.
