Thanks for the offer, but not now as mail is very expensive in Brazil and I'm saving some money to send some products to a friend in Boston.
But in a few weeks I'll love it. I have two german detergents sin my collection and I love them.

Oh, I forgot you're going to visit Brazil... LOL
Well, if you want to bring some and it's not going to be annoying, of course I'll love to have more products added to my collection.
Just to avoid repeated products, from germany I have a box of Persil megaperls and a huge box of Dixan.
Feel free to choose what you want to bring.
If I have the time, I'll try to send some argentinian and paraguayan detergents to a member of the brazilian community in Sao Paulo and ask him or her to find you and give them to you.

Fleckentferner!
(Man, do I wish now that I'd paid attention in my three years of German and stuck with it!!)
Are all of those packaging variations on Stain Release treatments? Are they basically just enzymes and water conditioners, I wonder?
I give up on what "Actic Power" is though.

I don't know about no fleckenfurter...
The fox on the Spee looks like the same on the Mexican Henkel product "1-2-3", but it is an uber-sudsing product.

Persil "Reine Frische"
I have it right on my washing machine as "Dixan Freschezza di Vernel". The bottle and colour and label are almost the same. It washes very well but it's a pain to rinse, it needs at least two more rinses in my machine to stop foaming!

Arctic Power is used for cold water washing hence the name. I just picked up at my local Target the new Tide in wash Stain Release Powder. They had the Tabs, powder and liquid. At $6.99 for it it had better work!
Okay, Okay. Let me answer the questions one after another:
Except the first Ariel products, all products are regular detergents.
Persil ACTIC Power: The name comes from the expression "ACtive at arcTIC temperatures". It is a detergent for low-temperature-washes as nmassman44 said correctly.
PeterH770 got that right with the fox: German Spee is the mother of all the detergents with the fox around the world.
dj-gabriele: The Persil "Reine Frische" replaces the Persil with the freshness of Vernel. You can't buy it anymore and it had a different scent.
The crystals from Vernel are a new form of fabric softener. It is available in Italy for about a year I think. Maybe the italian users can tell you more.

Tide Stain Release
I tried the Duo Pacs and it worked well. Removed stains better than my old booster and Spray n Wash Max.

Am Ende jedes Besuchs in der Bundesrepublik bring ich immer
...Da weiß man, was man hat!
Ich kaufe immer in Rewe, natürlich. Manchmal gibt es besondere Persil-Angebote.

Tide HE
When my Persil supply runs low, I use Tide HE (HE = High Efficiency, mainly front load machines plus a few top load machines like Calypso that use small amounts of water compared to a traditional top loader). In general, you use regular old fashioned Tide in normal top loaders, and Tide HE in front loaders.
Tide doesn't clean or rinse out as well as Persil, but it's one of the best that can be easily purchased here (yes, you can buy Persil here at stores that sell Miele appliances, if you don't mind paying $50 for a box that contains enough Persil for 50 washes....).
Sears Ultra Plus HE detergent is believed by many on this board to wash as well as Tide HE (or better) at lower cost, but to buy it, one must travel to a Sears store. Tide HE can be purchased at nearly any supermarket or discount store (Target, WalMart, etc.). Ultra Plus is not to my knowledge sold outside of Sears stores.
Americans have been using Tide since 1946. Like Germans believe in Persil.
Here is a brief history:
"Tide
In the 1920s, Americans used soap flakes to clean their laundry. The flakes performed poorly in hard water, leaving a ring in the washing machine, dulling colors, and turning whites gray. Procter & Gamble began an ambitious mission to change the way Americans washed their clothes. Researchers discovered two-part molecules which they called synthetic surfactants. Each part of the "miracle molecules" executed a specific function--one pulled grease and dirt from the clothes, while the other suspended dirt until it could be rinsed away. In 1933, this discovery was introduced in a detergent called "Dreft," but it could only handle lightly soiled jobs. The next goal was to create a detergent that could clean heavily soiled clothes. That detergent was Tide®.
Created in 1943, Tide detergent was the combination of synthetic surfactants and "builders." The builders helped the synthetic surfactants penetrate the clothes more deeply to attack greasy, difficult stains. Tide was introduced to test markets in October 1946 as the world’s first heavy-duty detergent. Consumer response was immediate and intense. Tide detergent outsold every other brand within weeks. It became so popular that store owners were forced to limit the quantity purchased per customer.
Tide detergent was improved 22 times during its first 21 years on the market, and Procter & Gable still strives for perfection. Each year, researchers duplicate the mineral content of water from all parts of the United States and wash 50,000 loads of laundry to test Tide detergent’s consistency and performance."

Hey Mr. Wash
Have you tried the DASH over there? We used to have a detergent here many years ago called DASH that I used to love but they stopped making it. Have you used it? If you have, is it good? And how's the scent?

Vernel Crystals:
I can tell you about them, that's just expensive crap!
You put them in the wash, the washing water becomes milky with the strong scent of them and by the time rinses come, that is almost gone, I don't find them as effective as traditional softener, plus, for the cost I could buy 2x bottles of the classic Vernel I'm used to.

Vernel Crystals: I think I wanna try them one time, but if it doesn't work, I will use them as decoration aroung candles in a glass or as a freshener for the vacuum cleaner. You just have to be creative *lol*
@strongenough78: I haven't used the new Dash but I will buy this within the next weeks. The washing performance is not the best and not the worst. Origanally Dash used to be the only detergent with an integrated softener. Thats why it was called "Dash 2-in-1" back in the 80's/90's. Then, it vanished behind other detergents like Ariel and was standing alone in the laundry aisle. No commercials in TV - nothing. Last year then, it had a complete relaunch in the green box/bottle and the effect with the integrated softener is no longer.
I will give you a link to the website. This website is designed the same way as a website for Gain (I think it was Gain) some time ago.

Sunil
Have not bought any Sunil detergent for a long time, because they usually don`t get so good ratings, but will definitely try one of those with the Surf Small&Mighty look.
Who could resist to those beautiful bottels ? LOL
