Introducing an exciting super easy way to seal your car - Sonax Spray and Seal



We are excited to tell you that we have tested out Sonax Spray and Seal and we are loving it. We have found Spray and Seal to be a great product to add to your routine maintenance. We have used gallons of the product in our rigorous testing and this has proven to be an easy to use product with great gloss and durability of up to 3 months. The water beading behavior is much like Sonax Polymer Net Shield, which we believe to be one of the best beading products in the industry. Spray and Seal has a a great just waxed feel to it, missing in the Polymer Net Shield and Brilliant Shine Detailer. Spray and Seal can be used to boost your coated, sealed, or waxed vehicles. This can also be used as a stand alone product as well. We recommend everyone to give this one a go.

What Sonax says:

SONAX Spray and Seal - Instant Shine Coating is a great compliment to any car enthusiasts' product arsenal. The easy-to-use formulation incorporates a unique Hybrid Polymer Technology that provides up to 3 months protection and generates excellent hydrophobic properties. After the car is washed and while it is still wet, simply spray entire car with the product and rinse. Completely dry all areas affected with a clean microfiber towel.

Direction for use:
- Wash vehicle and rinse thoroughly
- Shake bottle before use and turn the nozzle to open.
- Evenly spray the sealant on the wet vehicle (approx 4-6 sprays per 4 ft section).
- Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and dry the vehicle.
- Dry the vehicle - Remove any leftover remnants with a microfiber towel.

Product Attributes:
- Spray on, rinse off - and it's sealed!
- Quick and easy during the car wash
- Enhances the color depth and provides a mirror like shine
- Impressive water and dirt repellent effect in no time at all
- works on cars with out any protection
- works on cars with sealant and waxes
- works on cars with ceramic coating
- works on cars with paint protection film

Please Note:
Do not use on hot surfaces. Do not apply in direct sunlight. Do not allow to dry. Always give special attention to the seams of the vehicle while rinsing product thoroughly.

Meh. I'll stick to my Clearshine. Way less work with the same protection and better shine.

Comparison to Hydrosilex?

So you can only use with a full water wash? AND, not apply in direct sunlight? Hmm.

you can give it a go in the sunlight but why if you can control that variable.

yes a full wash would make the best sense.

feel - sonax
gloss - both are great
beading - sonax
easy of use - sonax
durability - hydrosilex

got it, if you can try to avoid it ... early morning or late afternoon it might be better, if you have to use it in the sunlight make sure it's not 100 degrees out, but I believe you know where I'm getting at. I have some friends in AZ that aren't working on their cars at all this month due to the extreme temps.

KevinM I don't think you can use this at all in sunlight if its anything like Hydro2 or WetCoat, those streak badly in sunlight and the streaks aren't easy to remove. I'd recommend only using this on a car with panels that are cool to the touch, in the shade.

Right from the Sonax site: "Do not use on hot surfaces. Do not apply in direct sunlight"

Hmm. Yes, this is why I do all my washes/detailing in the the garage, using either Optimum NR or a waterless wash. I haven't gotten a hose out in years except to quickly rinse off a car if it is very dirty before pulling it in the garage to wash. I suspect this new product is not for me.

Kevin, if you don't have access to a hose for this it will be a good one to pass on.
