POLIN®/VOLITEX is the winner of the sheen test

Carried out by:  
 

It's long been a well-known fact that the PE brush leaves a matt sheen on the car paint after several washes.

 

But what happens after several washing cycles with textiles or foamed material? TÜV-Nord decided to investigate.

 

A comparison of washing materials to increase the sheen on car paint:

 

 

Different vehicles were washed with the needle punched nonwoven POLIN®/VOLITEX and the sheen on the roof and bonnet was measured in 5 places.

 

The textile material POLIN®/VOLITEX is the clear winner.

 

 

 

 

 

Assessment by the TÜV-Nord:

 

When analysing 1,200 measurements after washing there was a substantial increase in sheen from the needle punched nonwoven.

 

The foamed material showed no increase in the level of sheen.

 

This means that when choosing a carwash, customers must look at the washing material used.
