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.

Can the car be dried using a blower or only MF towel?

yes you can use both a blower and mf towel, I would still go over it with a mf towel, just make sure it's dry.

You want to buy a $6000 set of wheels to use in the winter??

I feel like that isn't the smartest idea unless your pockets are so deep you just don't care.

Just tried this for the first time and not a huge fan. Couple things I liked, couple I did not.

Cons:
-Maybe I used too much, although I followed the instructions and applied as they DD in their video. I've used about 40% of it in 1 use.

-I rinsed the car over and made sure I hit everything and the rear windshield has a haze on it that a ton of elbow grease and even some Nanolex window cleaner could not remove. Additionally my rear quarter window has some as well. This may be user error and if so I understand, that just means the "ease of use" is not as easy. I guess it's easy to miss rinsing some spots.

- Slick feel? Good, not great. No comparison to Car Gliss.

Pros:
- Water beading. Holy Sh.. this water beading is great. I was using Car Gliss and that stuff is great. This is amazing though.

- Ease of application. Just spray on, no buffing. (maybe)

- Shine and deep color look? Yes!

Would I buy it again? No, I'll try Hidrosilex or something else.

Jesse,

Great review.

on the cons - did you do this yesterday in the sunlight, if not that would be the issue.
did you dry the car completely or did it already dry on the car before you can get to it?

I would not compare this to Car Gliss it's a bit of a different product.

Phil,

Did this yesterday in mostly sunny weather. Once rinsed I immediately blew off excess water with a leaf blower then hit the whole car with microfiber towels from you. Perhaps it was the sun that dried it out just too quickly.

even though we have tested it out successfully with a blower I would not recommend blowing in direct sunlight at all. best use for it in the shaded area, and if you can dry with a towel when outside. if it dries to fast it will spot up.

also I know for fact we can get 4-5 M2's out of it, ask me how I know ; )

no problem at all. I know it's a great product, and I believe you will too once you get the process down.

Update:

Sonax Spray and Seal being used to maintain a ceramic coated vehicle.



Using Sonax Spray and Seal for maintenance on a coated Lamborghini Huracan

This Lamborghini Huracan was coated about 6 months ago with a ceramic coating, we wanted to test out the ability of the Sonax Spray and Seal and the effects of it over the coating. We are happy to report that it worked extremely well. Sonax Spray and Seal was compatible and showed no issues or side effects with the ceramic coating. We would recommend it as a maintenance product over your cars protected with ceramic coating.
