Expert Notes

The Sonax Xtreme 2-in-1 Wash & Dry Concentrate is a highly concentrated car shampoo for hand washing cars. Sonax recommends 2 capfuls in 10L of warm water. To use it as a drying aid, dilute half a capful in 10L of cold water and pour it evenly from the roof down. Use it in a bucket at the dilution on the bottle, wash from the roof down with a clean mitt and a second rinse bucket, and rinse each panel before it dries. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children, and store it upright out of direct sunlight.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Glass
  • Exterior plastic trim
  • Chrome and badges
  • Alloy wheel faces
  • Door shuts

Caution: Wash in the shade on cool panels and never let it dry on the paint. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children.

How To Use

Washing

  1. Rinse the car to remove loose dirt.
  2. Add shampoo to a bucket of water at the dilution on the bottle.
  3. Wash from the roof down with a clean wash mitt, one panel at a time.
  4. Rinse the mitt in a second bucket of clean water between panels.
  5. Rinse the car thoroughly before it dries.

Drying

  1. Dry with a clean, plush drying towel.
  2. Pat or glide the towel gently, never scrub.
  3. Dry the glass last with a separate towel.

Top Tip: A second bucket of clean water for rinsing the mitt keeps grit off the paint and cuts wash marring.

The Brand

Sonax

SONAX was founded in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany, with roots dating back to the early 20th century. Originating from the Hoffmann family’s siliceous earth mining, SONAX developed polishing products before focusing fully on automotive care in 1950. The name combines “Sona” from its early polishes with “X” for wax, representing its pioneering car wax formulations. Today SONAX remains based in Bavaria and has become a global leader in detailing products, trusted in over 100 countries for its innovation, precision, and premium quality.

SONAX has earned its reputation through innovation, independent test results, and decades of motorsport involvement, including sponsorships in Formula 1, DTM, rally, and touring car championships.

SONAX also invests in environmentally responsible formulations, ensuring advanced cleaning power with reduced ecological impact.
