Hello, We have ordered a Beetle Cabrio for my wife, which she will drive year-round in the future. After driving my parents-in-law to the airport today and my car is now in a complete salt crust, I wondered in how far salt for cloth cover is a problem. Can you tell me how you deal with it? Greeting Ronny

Good morning, now I finally managed to refresh the paint with my small Power Packet 650Watt eccentric polishing machine. Basically, the result, for me as a layman, is also quite ok. My approach was quite simple: I carried out a polishing procedure with the Sonax Polish+Wax3 and then sealed with the BrillantWax1. As a polishing sponge I took the medium-strong (orange) from the globe construction market for Rotational machines are suitable but this does not result in a large heat development. I applied the wax with a soft/soft black polishing sponge. But from the degree of gloss I would wish for a bit more. I am therefore at the superior if, for example, Sonax Profiline EX 04-06 can get out more shine and then maybe a passage with the Sonax Profiline HP 01-06 or Profiline Final? I would like to stay with Sonax because the polishes are not I’m grateful for every opinion/idea Gruss Dr.Jargus

Hello, I have a bmw e60 limousine and have the following problem. If it rains again and again then the water on my paint does not completely drain away. There are lots of water pearls remaining on the whole car. I had once used a polish on it and sometimes in the washing box also a spraywax but the water residue would have to flow off the paint then or? You can now think the car has too many straight and angular surfaces so that water then nic It can flow off properly, but this is also the case on all sides, so not only on the roof and bonnet boot. Even if I drive with it remain up to a certain speed within the place the water remains available. Only in the garage or other covered areas the car starts to dry. Can someone help me? Zb neighboring cars are directly dry even without moving the vehicle. Would be very grateful about helpful experiences.

Hello MT, I have now bought the Sonax Protect & Shine and would like to expand my hand wash equipment to apply the sealing before the winter still cleanly and to make some extensions to the basic equipment. In spring the whole thing is to be extended by a hand polish. The shopping list looks like this so far: – Gyeon Iron, KC RRR or IronX from Carpro, depending on shop availability and price. – Q2M Waterspot – Petzoldts Control Cleaner or Q 2M Prep – at least 4 thin MFTs to remove the prep/controlcleaner like for example Lupus Basic MFT – KC Green Star for the rubber floor mats (here would certainly also the DashAway suffice?!) – Colorlock leather cleaning brush (for the rubber mats) – SONAX 340100 rubberPaper – Grit Guard Washboard – Sonax BSD (detailer) – KC FSE with lime ex (as alternative, maybe the two can be used later also in the household questions:1 Can I use the 3-pack Petzoldts microfibre polisher, Superfluff 3.1 ne Should the GSM fit, right?2 Will 3 pieces be enough to remove from the Sonax NPT?3 I can also take the 3 MFT in the future to remove the detailer after the laundry?4 Clean Knet lubricant set from Petzoldts – I will then use this in the spring before polishing, or does it make sense to do this before sealing? That’s already here.5 Is the order right? Snow Foam rim cleaner HDR Flugro st – HDR Q2M Waterspot – HDR Insect Removal – HDR 2 Bucket Laundry incl. Rim HDR Drying Prep Sealing Sonax P&S NPT Available are: SB Box with XXL foam, warm water for taping and hand washing permission Rim Cleaner Rim Brush EZ Detail Brush Mr Pink Shampoo 2 x 20L Bucket with Grit Guard and Lid 2 x Lupus Premium Glove for top 1 x Lupus Basic Glove for bottom 1 x Handpolierschwamm soft 3 x Lupus Applicator Pad Disc Cleaner by KC and Frosch 3 Waffle MFT Lupus 1 x Dash Away 3 x Lupus AllPurpose 40×40 1 x CW1:100 Insects Remover 3 x Lupus 380 60×40 MFT 3 x Lupus 530 60×40 MFT 3 x Petzoldts 3.1 MFT 1 x CleansingKnete Lubricant Set Petzoldts Do you have suggestions for improvements and answers to the 5 questions above?

Good evening to the municipality in the Ruhr area. As a friend of the car care not carried out itself, it is now time to visit a vehicle conditioner besides the more or less regular visits of the wash road, which can offer the whole program professionally as possible. By this I mean –> paint treatment, sealing, treatment of everyday scratchers and stone strokes, if necessary smart repair –> interior treatment inclusive leather care, especially treatment of Led It would be nice if you could give me your positive and also negative references / experiences so that my deep-sea blue will be treated well. The following areas are eligible: Essen, Bochum, Dortmund, Kreis Recklinghausen. Oh so, to the demarcation it should be clearly said that I am not just looking for addresses. Thank you in advance, here the recommended mention of the framework conditions: To the vehicle, it is an Audi A5 coupé in deep-sea blue metallic, built in mid 2008, “my r” since 08/2012. The car is used year-round about 15,000 km per year, working day on approx. 50 km highway. Accordingly the bonnet etc. looks like, washing system strips, front insects burned in, superficial “wipe” crackers on a fender, stone blows Washed every 3-6 weeks at Mr Wash, if necessary also the internal cleaning, last polish before handing over by the dealer, since I did not have anything more done. After processing I want to continue so v good shine with extremely long protection, scratches / stone strokes repaired and conserved, leather wears repaired.

Sali together, I’m a complete lender in things polish, so I wanted to ask here for information. I bought a bussle, 13 years old, which has a print/letter from the pre-work on it…… The previous owner then put this print away but only sporadically. My question, how do I get this polished properly? What are suitable products? Can I get this without a polishing machine? And what do I do with the one where the paint is already gone or one basically the white under even a simpler question: How can I get the whole artoff in the AuSen area again full black? Thank you for an answer Greetings Beni

Moin together! I want to replace my two cars with new lacquers shortly with an eccentric polishing machine (LE T2000) – is the first time, so far I have rather lain-like and polished with hand. It is often recommended Meguiars Ultimate Compound – is it also suitable for new varnishes or is it abrasive? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, on the wax and non-wax preservations always stands for new or polished / prepared varnish. Why does this stand there? I don’t have time and in the cold I don’t want to polish my car either. But would like to protect it from the salt. Can I still apply a product such as SONAX XTREME Protect+Shine Hybrid NPT after washing. Will that also last three or four months until spring? If that is not possible, you can then easily and quickly contact me. recommend processing product? Greetings Chris

Hello, I would have liked some advice from you! I took over an A6 the day before yesterday. I didn’t configure the vehicle myself, so I’m a bit blank when it comes to maintenance: the vehicle is metallic-black (myth-black) and the more I read about the care of black cars, the more I get the feeling of leaving my hands on it. I have a black motorcycle (RNineT) with a black painted aluminum tank. Micro scrapers come in from looking at it. I hope So I would like to do something good to the vehicle by hand without running the risk of polishing holograms in the paint. I guess everything without grinding particles would be something for me. So far I only have one Sonax spray wax (does not convince me so much so far) and Meguiars Swirl Remover (also with this I have improved with the BMW rather smeared). Can I do anything at all to get the black a little more shiny, until now the black man I would be very happy about product recommendations for my special application case and maybe also something for implementation. In advance thank you and nice greetings.

Hello, I was at an ADAC driving safety training today. Due to the constant watering of the track, my car naturally looked like sow. My problem is that there are lots of stains on the paint, I guess it’s lime stains that have burned cleanly into the paint through the sun. Having arrived at home, I washed the car by hand, so I didn’t see it much better after the leathering, I immediately washed it a second time by hand. It still looks terrible to me, but especially on the bonnet and at the thresholdrs. Did I have a nano-sealing made two weeks ago with the conditioner, but doesn’t seem to have stopped the lime as well How do I get rid of the lime stains? Dilute the car with normal vinegar ringers with water? Does it attack the sealing? Or maybe other tips, but I didn’t want to polish it, otherwise I would have saved myself the sealing. Thank you MFG
