Sonax works it with a moistened felt pad on a rotary polisher at about 600 to 1000 rpm and about 5 kg of pressure, with overlapping movements and a spray of water when the pad runs dry. Allow at least 30 minutes per windscreen. Glass with stone chips cannot be polished.

Expert Notes

Glass is much harder than paint, so a glass polish needs a different abrasive and more patience. Sonax uses cerium oxide in a chemical-mechanical polish, worked with a moistened felt pad at about 600 to 1000 rpm and about 5 kg of pressure, and allows at least 30 minutes for a windscreen.

It removes slight scratches, blinding and etching, and it also strips old, defective window coatings. Keep the pad wet and moving, because heat is the risk, and remember that glass with stone chips cannot be polished.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Windscreens
  • Side windows
  • Real glass
  • Glass with old coatings

Caution: For real glass only. Do not use it on hot glass, do not overheat one area, and do not polish glass with stone chips.

How To Use

Prepare

  1. Clean the glass and mask the surrounding paint and rubber.
  2. Moisten a felt polishing pad.
  3. Fit it to a rotary polisher set to about 600 to 1000 rpm.

Polish the glass

  1. Apply the polish to the pad.
  2. Polish evenly with overlapping movements and about 5 kg of pressure.
  3. Spray on water to cool the pad when it runs dry.
  4. Never stay too long on one area or use too much pressure.
  5. Clean the glass and surrounding areas with a glass microfibre cloth and glass cleaner.

Top Tip: Keep the felt pad moving and wet, because Sonax warns against overheating the glass or working too long in one area.

The Brand

Sonax

SONAX is a German car care maker based in Neuburg an der Donau, making car care products since 1950. After the Second World War, Franz Hoffmann began making care products under the Sona name, used mainly for household silver polishes; for the car care line an X, standing for wax, was added, and SONAX was born. Today SONAX GmbH is the German market leader for car care, sold in 110 countries, and it treats Made in Germany as a promise to its customers, private and professional alike, as well as the motorsport industry.

At The Drivers HQ we stock SONAX online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop, across its two main lines: XTREME for enthusiasts and PROFILINE for professional detailing. Popular choices include CutMax, Perfect Finish, XTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo, XTREME Spray+Seal and the PROFILINE Leather Cleaner.

Choosing a SONAX PROFILINE polish

SONAX rates its PROFILINE polishes for cut and degree of gloss, and gives the finest sanding marks each one removes, so you can match the polish to the paint.

  • CutMax (cut 6, gloss 4) is a highly abrasive polish for rotary machines, for heavily weathered, scratched or sanded paint. It removes sanding marks of P1000 and finer, and its Low Dust Technology keeps dust down.
  • Ultimate Cut (cut 6+, gloss 3) removes marks of up to P1000 even faster at high polishing speeds, for fresh paintwork or very large surfaces such as motorhomes and boats. It is silicone-free.
  • Cut+Finish (cut 5, gloss 5) is a single-stage polish that removes P1500 sanding marks, nibs and spray mist with a high gloss and easy wipe-off. It is silicone-free and low dusting.
  • Perfect Finish is the finishing polish: it removes marks of up to P2000 grit and leaves a high gloss without holograms or buffing marks. It is silicone-free and can be used on an orbital machine when only a finish is needed.

On heavily marked paint, cut with CutMax or Ultimate Cut and then refine with Perfect Finish; if one stage is enough, use Cut+Finish. Use a separate pad for each polish, clean the pads regularly and keep off hot panels. For pads and machines, see our polishing pads and polishing machines.
