Review from DW: Sonax Polymer Net shield

I have not used a machine with this product yet.

 

Finally got around to picking some of this up. Applied it to my parents car this weekend and I must say I'm impressed.

 

How does everyone feel about using this as a topping for opti-coat?

 

Sonax made this product to top their coating (not sold in NA) its was intended to protect against hard water spots that coatings are known to have.

As of late I have recommended this to all customers that have applied Opti coat on their cars with us.

 

As said above by Phil. Its a topper but make its fine alone. I applied it over OC just before christmas and it made it bead and sheet water like no tomorrow. Love it!

 

Yes

 

read that you can also use it for a topper on there profiline hard wax

 

yea its in a spray can

 

So this sprays out like a foamy type of stuff?
Can i just spray it directly on a MF towel, spread and then buff off?
Instead of using applicators...?

 

Foamy type stuff yes.. But best to use a foam applicator.. you can spray on app /and or directly to paint then spread and buff.

Really good stuff. Same with their spray detailer

 

Phil, how is this holding up today?

 

we are still doing well with it, unfortunately we have been quite slammed over here to put the video together.

it will be coming soon.

 

Cool.

I have Griots Paint Sealant and Collinite 845. I'm not sure I'm thrilled about the durability of the Griots Paint Sealant (for my dd). I am interested in picking up some Sonax, but I was wondering if it would be better as a topper to 845 or a stand alone.

 

I find Net Shield very tough to use, although i still use it on almost every uncoated vehicle now because of how great it looks and the durability.

I spray on, usually about a half a panel...with just enough to lightly coat the panel...so probably like a .75 second trigger pull. Then i just spray the applicator with a quick hit to prime it, then i spread evenly like a coating.

It seems to be very streaky on me, and takes so much effort to wipe off. Should i be using less product? More product? Different method?

What are you guys finding successful?

Sonax Net Shield beading after 3+ months. This vehicle hasn't been washed since the Sonax application and it was exposed to road salt for 2-3 weeks.

 

I spray Sonax net shield straight onto a towel and wipe the area. Then buff off with another clean towel. You can extend the protection by using their Brilliant shine detailer. I notice tight beading at stand still and very nice sheeting affect when moving.

heres a little video I made last month.

Enjoy!

 

How Much Effort is required to buff off Net Shield
I am using OC/OS primarily on soft paint due to just the *softness* and even something as simple as wiping after polishing can marr the paint.
