How to properly clean and care for piano black surfaces in the car
Glossy, deep black and elegant: Piano black surfaces in the car create stylish highlights – but they are also very sensitive. One careless move is enough, and fine scratches or streaks disturb the overall appearance. Especially for professional vehicle detailers, car care specialists, and passionate car enthusiasts, it is crucial to know how to optimally care for these delicate surfaces. Only with the right know-how can the flawless mirror-like gloss be preserved that enhances any interior.
Why piano black deserves special attention
Unlike matte or textured plastic surfaces, piano black is extremely sensitive – and brutally honest: every touch, every speck of dust and every care mistake becomes visible. This makes a thoughtful and material-friendly approach all the more important.
This is how perfect care works – step by step
Whether you are treating a high-gloss surface for the first time or work with such materials daily as a professional – the following steps will help you clean piano black without streaks and protect it long-term:
1. Gently remove dust and loose particles
- Use a soft microfiber cloth with ultra-fine structure.
- Work without pressure – gentle dusting minimizes the risk of micro-scratches.
2. Clean fingerprints and light dirt
Use the SWISSVAX Micro-Fluffy together with SWISSVAX Quick Interior Finish. This pH-neutral spray gently removes dirt, has an anti-static effect and is perfect for sensitive high-gloss surfaces.
3. Deep cleaning for stubborn residues
For more intensive dirt, we recommend SWISSVAX Plastic Wash. It provides deep cleaning without attacking the surface. Important: Always use a clean, soft cloth – and avoid strong rubbing and pressure.
4. Protection for long-lasting high gloss
With SWISSVAX Lotos Speed you can sustainably seal the surface. The product leaves an invisible protective film that effectively repels new fingerprints and dust – for a permanently well-maintained finish.
Common mistakes to avoid
Speed is the wrong advisor when it comes to piano black. These mistakes must be avoided at all costs:
- Using household cleaners or aggressive chemicals
- Rough microfiber cloths or paper towels
- Rubbing with pressure or circular motions
Care as an expression of appreciation
Piano black applications in the interior – whether on the center console, door panels or around the infotainment system – are stylish eye-catchers. Their well-maintained appearance reflects not only light but also the care with which you treat your vehicle. Those who work carefully and with high-quality products preserve the vehicle's character at the highest level.
