SONAX High Speed Wax
Directions for Use:
1. Wash the vehicle with SONAX Gloss Shampoo or Sonax 2-in-1 Shampoo Concentrate and rinse off with clear water. Drying off is not necessary.
2. Shake bottle before use.
3. Spray SONAX High Speed Wax sparingly onto the wet surface. Only treat small areas at a time. 2-3 sprays will be sufficient for a door.
4. Spread the wax with a damp sponge or cloth and polish off immediately with a soft towel or microfiber cloth.
5. If the wax dries, simply spray on more and wipe off immediately.

Above are the directions from Sonax’s website. Are these correct? Do you apply this to a wet car? I always thought Spray wax was used after the car was dry. Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

Some are applied wet; to be wiped off immediately. Griot's Garage has an excellent spray wax that has basically the same instructions. Megiuar's spray wax is one that you have to apply to a clean dry surface and let it dry before removing.

 

I'm new to this so bare with me please . In step #4, should i use a microfiber drying cloth or a polishing cloth? Does it matter? I guess what i dont get is when the car will actually get dry. The most effective way sounds like using a drying cloth to polish the spray off and absorb any excess water. Is that correct?

 

I use a waffle-weave drying towel, but any good, thick microfiber should do. The microfiber waffle-weave type of towel combines good absorbency with a non-scratching surface.

 

Thanks!

 

I actually tried this on my wife's Cayenne last weekend and didn't care for the results. I still got a bit of wax spotting and had to go back and re-spray and re-wipe the whole car. I'm sticking with the spray on towel, wipe on dry paint method.

 

Moe, do you mean that you spray the wax on your drying cloth and dry as usual? Does that apply an adequate coating?

 

You can apply a fine mist on the paint and wipe, or apply to towel and wipe the paint. Just don't use too much or it will streak. You can tell the surface is protected because it feels much more slick than the un-applied area. The paint takes on a nice clean shine as well.

 

Thanks Moe! Looking forward to getting my stuff!!

 

I've been silent for A WHILE b/c of work and more work and vacation, but I wanted to throw in my $0.02 here.

I've been using Sonax for my in-between wax, and I LOVE it. Super easy to apply and leaves a great shine on both silver and black, though not as "rich" as, but more "glassy" than, P21S 100%. My one complaint is that the spray mist does tend to get everywhere, and if you don't wipe it off wherever it happened to get to, you'll get little white wax dots that are kind of a pain to get off (esp on rubber, seals, convertible top ), so you do have to be a little careful about the spray.

I JUST started (i.e., this morning) spraying it on to the towel, and it seems to work fine. I apply the wax when the car is still wet, using a microfiber towel (not a "drying" one, but a fine-napped one), and wipe off immediately.

Also, I find it takes almost as long to dry my car with my leaf blower as it does to wax, so now I just use the spray-wax after every wash as part of the drying process.

Lastly, a little goes a long way - I'm learning that with most car-care products, more is DEFINITELY not better...

Hope this helps someone.

 

Thanks for your input and nice to see you back Joe...was wondering where you were.
