Full Description

Sonax PROFILINE Plastic Care is a regenerating plastic care made for professional valeters. It refreshes faded colour with a subtle shine, conceals dull spots and scratches, and preserves every plastic in the interior.

It is also an excellent engine bay preserver with strong water displacement: spray it on evenly straight after the engine wash, once excess water has been blown out of recesses and away from the ignition system. For plastics, pour it into a trigger sprayer, pre-dilute with water to suit the gloss you want and spread it with a care pad or soft microfibre cloth. It is solvent free and contains silicone.

Expert Notes

Plastic Care is a professional valeting product, so it is sold as a concentrate you dilute yourself. Less water gives more gloss and more water gives a subtler finish, but the aim is always the same: Sonax says it refreshes colour with a subtle shine and conceals dull spots and scratches.

The engine bay is where it earns its place. Sprayed on evenly straight after the engine wash, it preserves the plastics and displaces water. For long-lasting protection of exterior trim, Sonax recommends its dedicated exterior plastic protectant instead.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Dashboards
  • Door panels
  • Centre consoles
  • Interior plastic trim
  • Engine bay plastics
  • Exterior plastic trim

Caution: It contains silicone and should not be used on hot surfaces. Keep it off pedals, steering wheels and anything you grip.

How To Use

Interior plastics

  1. Pour the product into a trigger sprayer.
  2. Pre-dilute it with water to suit the gloss you want, as the label directs.
  3. Spread it evenly with a care pad or soft microfibre cloth.

Engine bay

  1. Wash the engine bay first.
  2. Blow excess water out of recesses and away from the ignition system with compressed air.
  3. Spray the product evenly over the engine bay plastics straight after the wash.

Top Tip: Use less water in the mix for more gloss and more water for a subtler look, as Sonax suggests.

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.
