Manufacturer Part #: 202241
Suggested Retail Price: $19.99
Manufacturer description:
SONAX Paint Cleaner (https://detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Paint-Cleaner-500-ml_p_340.html) is based on a newly developed combination of effective ingredients; specially formulated for heavily weather-worn paintwork and painted parts. Highly-effective abrasives easily remove the damaged clear coat layer. Hazing disappears and leaves a new, deep-gloss restored color.
Nano Technology engineered, Carnauba Wax particles penetrate the small cracks and crevices protecting the paint surface for several weeks.
As many of you know we have been known for paint correction services, as we move on to include more maintenance oriented detail services (customer driven) we have found the need to bring other products in to suit these needs.
Not every car needs to be corrected (even though the OCD in us wants to). We have found most of our customers with daily drivers want a clean and protected car, they may not be searching for a show car level detail or a paint correction.
Sonax Paint Cleaner (https://detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Paint-Cleaner-500-ml_p_340.html) is a great product that falls into the above discussion. Sonax Paint Cleaner is an All In One Product, Polish and Wax. Sonax Paint Cleaner has the ability to polish our light swirls, hazing, and marring caused by claying and improper washing. In doing more research about Sonax Paint Cleaner we discovered the base of the polish is Sonax Profiline Nano Polish 3/6. As well is give a 3-6 weeks of protection.
This a great product for the customer who just wants that shine and protection to last him till the next routine wash and wax. Customers or end users that like their cars cleaned more often in a particular price point say $150-300. The Sonax Paint Cleaner (https://detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Paint-Cleaner-500-ml_p_340.html) would be the product.
The below are some photos showing the uses of the product.
We found it great on this Tesla Model S, as you can see from the 50/50's we were able to work in the Sonax Paint Cleaner (https://detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Paint-Cleaner-500-ml_p_340.html) with the Rupes LHR21ES with an Uber Green Pad to achieve these results. Again the intent was not paint correction just bring a nice shine back to the finish.

We were also able to test this on a vandalized and oxidized 2003 Subaru Forester
This Forester was a victim of a fire extinguisher - I also believe the paint was not cared for for a few years if not longer per the customer.
