PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Introduction

Surface contaminants that remain after polishing interfere with coating adhesion and reduce long-term durability, as ceramic coatings, sealants, and waxes are unable to bond properly. But with the SONAX Paint Prepare (400mL), polishing oils, grease films, silicones, wax residues, and filler substances are completely removed from the automotive paint surfaces before sealing or coating applications. This creates a residue-free surface that maximises bonding performance.

What the Product Does

The SONAX Paint Prepare (400ml) is formulated to remove polishing oils, grease films, silicone residues, wax remnants, and filler substances from the paint surface of your vehicle before you apply your protective products. It is also used as an inspection cleaner during multi-stage paint correction, checking polishing results accurately between stages. Its fast-evaporating solvent helps minimise residue buildup and excessive streaming after wiping, creating a clean, dry paint surface.

Features

  • Oil and Silicone Removal Formula: It is formulated with high-dissolving cleaning agents that effectively dissolve polishing oils, silicone residues, grease films, and fillers.
  • Residue-Free Surface Cleaning: A streak-free cleaning agent has also been incorporated into the formula. This ensures that surface residues are removed without leaving secondary films.
  • Fast-Evaporating Formula: It evaporates faster, reducing the paint preparation time needed during detailing procedures, significantly.
  • Coating Preparation Compatibility: It is designed specifically for use before ceramic coating, sealants, and paint systems.
  • Paint Inspection Enhancement: Hidden swirl marks, holograms, and polishing defects are revealed after oils and fillers are removed.
  • Spray Application System: A trigger spray delivery system allows controlled application across treated panels.

Benefits

  • Improved Ceramic Coating Bonding: Thanks to its dissolving capabilities, a contamination-free paint surface can be achieved easily. This ensures the surface bonds with the paint protection products that are applied.
  • Accurate Paint Correction Inspection: It removes Temporary filler concealment and displays the actual polishing results. This helps detailers inspect the vehicle surface correctly. 
  • Reduced Risk of Coating Failure: It effectively removes residual oils and silicones that may interfere with coating adhesion. This facility’s long-term coating durability.
  • Faster Surface Preparation: Thanks to its rapid evaporation capability, the product reduces waiting time during detailing procedures. It therefore accelerates the paint preparation workflow.
  • Cleaner Finishing Results: A cleaner finish can be achieved before protection is applied. This is possible as residue-free wiping minimizes streak formation and surface smearing.
  • Improved Professional Detailing Efficiency: Paint correction and coating preparation can be completed with greater consistency and reliability.

How to Use

  1. Wipe the Surface: The surface of the vehicle must first be properly polished and cleaned using a clean microfibre towel.
  2. Prep the Solution: Shake the bottle properly before use. This ensures uniform distribution of the cleaning agents once applied.
  3. Application: Spray the solution onto a clean microfibre cloth. This ensures even distribution of the solution across the vehicle surface area.
  4. Buff Dry: After application is completed, the surface should be buffed lightly with a clean dry microfiber cloth. This helps in completely removing residual moisture and dissolved contaminants.
  5. Inspect the Paint: Inspect the surface properly under proper lighting. This helps to identify hidden defects and remaining polishing marks. Repeat the third and fourth stages until the surface area is fully contamination-free.

FAQ

It is used during surface preparation. The product is used to clean the vehicle surface before ceramic coating, waxing, or sealing applications.

It helps to removes contaminates like polishing oils, silicones, grease films, wax residues, and filler substances. These are substances that prevent paint protection products from bonding with the paint on the surface of your vehicle.

Containments constantly interfere with coating adhesion, preventing proper bonding with paint protection products. Paint preparation ensures these contaminants are properly removed and ensures a durable, long-lasting ceramic coating.

The possibility of a streak occurring during use is very minimal. Thanks to its streak formation, it evaporates rapidly and wipes cleanly.

The product has been developed specifically for automotive paint preparation and coating applications. It should not be used on the interior components of your vehicle.
