Sonax Nano Lack (paint) protect

Hi ladies and lads-



I just got my hands on some uber-expensive Sonax Nano Lack (Paint) protect here in Germany. It ran me 40 Euro for 50ml. That is supposed to be enough for one car. I have noticed that autogeek isn't selling this on their website with the rest of their Sonax products. The product is from the "profiline" (it is also marketed under the "premium class" line, but only claims 9 months. I suspect they are the same) and claims to bead water for up to 12 months. I am going to polish up my new Skoda Octavia Combi (Gunmetal Gray) with my new Flex 3401 and Wolfgang prep products, and then seal it with this product. I will be sure to take pictures of before and after, and update on durability as I go along.



Does anybody else have any dealings with this product? To be quite frank, I am excited, because I have 3 cars ('09 E90 BMW M3 in Space Gray, a '04 Honda Fit (JDM) in Silver, and the Skoda) and I need to protect them through these hellacious German winters. My cars took a beating last year, and they were Klasse twins'd.



Here is a video on the product:

Take care,

Andy, this is a great product and I am sure it will last you one year. I have this on my mother in Laws car, never washed after application (may 25th 2010) and I think it's time this weekend.

Remember to clean the paint after polishing, with either a alkalie wash, Sonax paint prepp(their aerosol can) IPA or similar.



Work only on one panel at a time, look at the video a couple of time and follow the steps.



Good luck!
 
Thanks! I didn't get to start the job because of the weather. I did practice on the hood of the Skoda with the Flex, and was very impressed with the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant version 3.0. for a 2 year old car, I pulled a lot of garbage off of the paint with clay. It is terrible how some people take care of their cars. I just bought the car, so she will be babied and taken care of by me. It is a polymer sealant, but is warm like a carnuba. I am thinking that I am going to try the Nano Lack Protect on the BMW instead of the Skoda.
 
I "washed" my mother in laws car, wich I coated in may (26th?) it have never been washed since. I foamed the car with a alkalie tfr(trafic film remover) and then used the pressur washer, I got all the bugs, road film and all the dirt of. The sonax coating did a great job, sheeted like crazy and left me with a great gloss.
 
How do you apply it? Considering it's a spray, do you spray on an applicator and wipe on like a regular sealant or do you spray it directly on the car?
 
I sprayed on a small area (40*40 cm), and then used a very thin mf-towel, looks like a piece of paper and spread it properly. The the next area, after I have spread the next area, I went back and wiped it off with a mf-towel.
 
Where can you buy Sonax Nano Lack (paint) protect ???????

The nano paint sealant with applicator. I'd be glad to pay someone by paypal to ship

me this.
 
That's an excellent video. You really need to be a pro or have the Autopian sickness to do it right. So...another silicate based sealant to try. ;)
 
Here's the kit:

Hmm! Looks really good! I wondered if anyone had used bug or tar remover on the sealant though? I do about 17K a year in my Prius and i just cant go a couple of months with out needing to do a bit of extra cleaning.
 
In the presentation video they use bug, tree sap and tar remover after the coating was applied and state that you should you these products to remove the contaminants as soon as possible as they may damage the coating. So I guess it's safe to use them...
 
I was thinking the same thing, Bence. Did you use it? What did you think of it?



Do you think the Sonax Nano Lack Prepare (spray cleaner) is mandatory before using the coating? Or is an IPA wipedown enough?

Looking at the MSDS of the Lack Prepare it looks like a spray solvent to remove grease and polish lubricants.
 
Yep, I have it, and I sent it to Porta as well.



All it needs is a bare surface, no matter what you strip with...



It is a good coating. Slightly older-tech than the Opti-Coat, as it can go over painted surfaces only, but beads like mad and lasts. KeePre makes it in Japan (they switched to the KeePer spelling recently). Translate this page: ƒ_ƒCƒ„ƒ‚ƒ“ƒhƒL�[ƒp�[ | ƒL�[ƒp�[ƒR�[ƒeƒBƒ“ƒO ‚ÅŽç‚ê ƒJ�[ƒR�[ƒeƒBƒ“ƒO ‚̃vƒ��BƒL�[ƒp�[ KeePer

Yeah im always wary of these things though. I have used a few of Sonax products before and was so impressed (red bottle stuff mainly).

I think I used to little, but remember that the can is 50 ml, including the gas, so the coating it self is maybee not more then 10-20 ml, maximum.



Their lack prepare is just what you said, a spray solvent. I used IPA or maybee 3M surface cleaner (wich is basicly IPA and maybee some tensides).
