Full Description

Sonax XTREME Protective Wheel Rim Sealant uses Hybrid NetProtection Technology to leave an ultra-thin, invisible protective layer on your wheels. It repels water, dirt and salt and reduces how quickly the rims soil again.

Sonax describes the layer as glass-hard silicate linked with organic components into a stable, weather-resistant network. Stubborn dirt such as brake dust then comes off with little effort, the rims keep a deep, reflective shine and the beading lasts at least 5 washes. The 250ml pack treats up to 8 rims and includes 4 polishing fleeces.

Expert Notes

A wheel sealant does its work between washes. Sonax says this one forms an invisible, glass-hard silicate layer that repels water, dirt and salt, so brake dust comes off with little effort and the rims soil less quickly. The beading lasts at least 5 washes, and the 250ml pack covers up to 8 rims. It suits aluminium, steel, chrome-plated and polished rims, and the pack also includes 4 polishing fleeces.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Aluminium alloy wheels
  • Steel wheels
  • Chrome-plated wheels
  • Polished wheels

Caution: Apply it to clean, dry, cool wheels only, keep it off the brakes and tyres, and follow the timings on the label.

How To Use

Prepare the wheels

  1. Clean the wheels thoroughly with a wheel cleaner and rinse them.
  2. Dry the wheels completely.
  3. Work on cool wheels out of direct sunlight.

Seal the wheels

  1. Apply a small amount of sealant to one of the polishing fleeces.
  2. Spread it in a thin, even layer over the wheel face.
  3. Follow the label for when to buff and how long to leave it before washing.
  4. Use a fresh fleece as each one becomes loaded.

Top Tip: Seal wheels straight after a deep clean, so the layer bonds to bare, dry metal.

Performance Benefits

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.
