How to properly clean and care for piano lacquer in your car
Glossy, deep black and elegant: Piano lacquer surfaces in the car add stylish accents – but they are also very sensitive. A careless touch is enough to leave fine scratches or streaks. Especially for professional detailers and passionate car enthusiasts, it's essential to know how to care for these delicate surfaces properly. With the right know-how, the flawless mirror-like shine that refines every interior is preserved.
Why piano lacquer deserves special attention
Unlike matte or textured plastic surfaces, piano lacquer is extremely delicate – and unforgiving: every touch, every speck of dust, and every care mistake becomes visible. That’s why a thoughtful, gentle approach is so important.
Perfect care step by step
Whether you're treating a high-gloss surface for the first time or working with such materials daily as a pro – these steps will help you clean piano lacquer without streaks and protect it long-term:
1. Gently remove dust and loose particles
- Use a soft microfiber cloth with an ultra-fine texture.
- 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 residue
For more intense dirt, use the SWISSVAX Plastic Wash. It cleans deeply without damaging the surface. Important: always use a clean, soft cloth – and avoid rubbing hard or using pressure.
4. Long-lasting protection
With SWISSVAX Lotos Speed, you can seal the surface for lasting protection. It leaves an invisible film that effectively prevents new fingerprints and dust – for a permanently polished finish.
Common mistakes to avoid
When it comes to piano lacquer, rushing is never a good idea. Avoid these common mistakes:
- Using household cleaners or aggressive chemicals
- Rough microfiber cloths or paper towels
- Rubbing with pressure or circular motions

Piano lacquer accents in the interior – whether on the center console, door panels, or around the infotainment – are eye-catchers.
