Also they gave me a coupon code for 15% after joining the forum but I placed my order before I got it. It's forumjuly15, but I'm not sure if it still works.

edit: VVV @WhiteFRS69 Ive heard great things about Sonax! I need to try it out

this was last september i think, ive only applied sonax net shield to my car twice, so this is probably 4-5 month old coating thats on there
took a Vertical video (Fail)

this is sonax net shield, nothing else, probably 4-5 months old
and the water just beads right off

Polymer sealant (they're also called waxes for normal people) and then you can use the carnauba on top of that. Polymer for the protection.


Carnauba looks great and will have a very deep gloss, but it's short lived. In Texas it will evaporate off the car with ease.

I use Meguiar's 21. East to apply and remove by hand.

Ill go with Klasse All in One then follow it up with 2 coatings of Klasse High Gloss sealant.

I used #26. Would I have to remove that first to put on the #21? If you know.

Probably, as 21 is a sealant not a polish (though it may have some cleaner in it?). I've found that 26 lasts me 1-3 months (depending on how hot it is) and the 21 lasts 8+ months. I've had really good results using 26 on top of the 21 as well.


I do love 26, as I think it gives the deepest shine. Plus it smells like candy (to me at least)!

Yeah, generally you want to put the sealant on prior to the wax. The general idea is that the all-synthetic, polymer-based sealant will adhere better to the polymer-based paint, and then the carnauba goes on top for that carnauba glow.

Too much crap, i want to use one product, but which one/brand for glossy finish? What about Mothers?

Quik is like 6/10 and a cheap quik wax. Aka lazy man's wax.

Some dont even consider it really waxing the car. Its thinner.

UQW is fine, but it's NOT a replacement for a real sealant/wax job. It's what you do after your weekly washes.


Much like spray detailer is for removing dust...


Spray carnauba is no better, and I'll go so far as to say carnauba sucks for protection and it's only for looks.
