WEGMANN automotive launches the new TRAX handcare line
HARD WORK, CLEAN PERFORMANCE: We are looking for the
industry's dirtiest hands.
Veitshöchheim,
July 28th 2026
Anyone who gets hands-on in an automotive workshop or tire service on a daily basis subjects their skin to extreme strain. Soot, stubborn grease, oils, and brake dust are part of everyday life—but they also attack the skin's natural barrier. To provide mechanics and tire professionals with optimal protection, WEGMANN automotive is introducing its specially developed hand care range under its TRAX brand.
THE 3-PHASE PRINCIPLE: PROTECTION BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER WORK
The new hand care range is precisely tailored to the needs of demanding workshop hands and is divided into three perfectly interlocking phases:
1. Protect (Before work): TRAX Skin Shield acts as an "invisible glove." This skin protection cream prevents dirt and grease from penetrating the skin, makes subsequent cleaning easier, and is ideal even for sensitive skin.
2. Clean (During & after work): For the daily routine, TRAX Pure Pearl offers a mild, dye- and fragrance-free hand soap for light soiling. For extreme cases, the heavy-duty cleanser TRAX Orange Boost, featuring organic pumice abrasive and a fresh orange scent, steps in to effortlessly remove even the most stubborn dirt.
3. Care (After work): The regenerative care cream TRAX Power Repair supports the skin's lipid replenishment after work, absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, and prevents cracked and dry hands.
