How To: Sonax Polymer Net Shield Paint & Wheels
I had received a PM from a forum member asking me how I apply Sonax Polymer Net Shield (SPNS) to the wheels. I figured perfect time for me to show how I apply SPNS to wheel and paint.
For those who haven't seen or read about SPNS here is the product description.
Sonax Polymer Net Shield is a cutting-edge aerosol-based spray sealant that takes minutes to apply and lasts up to six months! Sonax Polymer Net Shield is formulated using advanced German technology to provide a level of paint protection that used to be exclusive to liquid paint sealants. Sonax Polymer Net Shield takes just minutes to apply and your paint will explode with color and depth like you’ve never seen before!
Sonax Polymer Net Shield is formulated using an organic and inorganic network of hybrid polymers. This new generation of polymers produces crisp, clear reflections while protecting paintwork from UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, airborne contaminants and even road salt. The surface tension created by Sonax Polymer Net Shield causes water to bead up and roll off; your vehicle will stay cleaner in between washes because nothing will stick!
Sonax Polymer Net Shield is packaged in an aerosol can for two reasons: First, as soon as the contents are exposed to oxygen, the hybrid polymers immediately begin to cross-link and harden. Second, ease of application! Thanks to its aerosol packaging, Sonax Polymer Net Shield takes just minutes to apply. Simply spray Sonax Polymer Net Shield directly onto the surface or onto a foam applicator, spread evenly and buff off to reveal a reflective, glass-like shine.
Let your vehicle’s paintwork reap the benefits of German technology with Sonax Polymer Net Shield!
First lets start with how I apply for the vehicles paint. Always start with a washed and dried vehicle. If the paint is need of a decontamination with a clay bar or clay alternative then proceed to that first. Once you have the paint in the condition you want and are ready for your LSP time to bring out the SPNS.
Items required:
2 Soft Plush MF towels
1 Can of Sonax Polymer Net Shield
First spray a small amount of product directly on to the towel
Next spray a small amount of product to the panel. (I find that working in smaller sections makes the application of SPNS much easier. If you are working in warmer climates you maybe want to break down panels into 2-4 small sections)
Spread the product evenly over the working area
Once you have spread out the product you will see some hazing and or flashing
Take your clean MF towel and go over the area to remove any leftover product and reveal and beautiful shine.
How to apply Sonax Polymer Net Shield on wheels
The same procedure working for wheels as well
First spray a small amount of product directly on to the towel.
Next spray a small amount of product to the wheel.
Work the product over the entire surface of the wheel.
With a clean towel buff off the excess product
Once you have removed all the excess you are finished
Thanks for looking

Evan J. --Thanks for the great write up!!!! Do you typically apply the SPNS to the pebble grain black clading as on your subject vehicle above and other black plastics?? This would eliminate one extra product and one extra step (something I'm always looking for) if it does a good job protecting the plastics.

So this stuff is not clear? Does that ever cause difficulty on intricate wheels as it is more difficult to hit every single part with a towel?

I have applied it to well maintained plastic trim and never had any issues with it. Longevity I would say 4-6 months should be a good ball park.

I would say the product is clear but when mixed with the propellant in the can you will get a little bit of a white tint to it. I never noticed a change in difficulty. I would say that more intricate wheel will just require a little more time to ensure a complete coverage of the wheel.

Re: How To: Sonax Polymer Net Shield Paint & Wheels
Sonax PNS is currently my favorite sealant. It goes on similar to a quick detailer. Some say it is difficult to work with but as Evan has pointed out, a few tricks make all the difference. Quality towels make a big difference with this. Once you find the combination of thickness and pile make up you prefer, this is easy going stuff. Applying too much will make for more work to remove the excess but that goes for a lot products.

Total noobie here. Been on forum 2-3 months now and I am learning a lot. Still have a ways to go---it's just sooo overwhelming that after awhile things get confusing! Anyway---Have a question.
Are these 3 products listed below do pretty much the same thing?
1. Sonax Polymer Net Shield
2. CarPro Hydro2
3. CarPro Reload Spray Sealant
Thanks...

You can apply it to trim as well, it will work as a restorer to some extent. I love the stuff on paint and it reacts like a coating, just doesn't last as long.

I use Sonax BSD on my wheels and it works great. I spray it onto a microfiber and rub it onto the wheels and walk away (no buffing). Makes cleaning them much easier.
