One of the most discussed products in the detailing process are the products used for paint protection.  Synthetic sealants are a common choice because they are typically more durable than a wax, and less expensive than a paint coating.

The Sonax Polymer Net Shield is an aerosol based spray on sealant! Net Shield is formulated using organic and inorganic hybrid polymers that once sprayed, immediately react to oxygen and cross-link on your paint. The surface tension created causes water to bead up and roll off, allowing your vehicle to stay cleaner longer. The polymers produce a crisp, clear reflection while protecting your paint from UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, airborne contamination, road salt and more.  If you are looking for a quick and easy way to protect your paint, give the Sonax Polymer Net Shield a try!

Sonax Polymer Net Shield (SPNS) is different than other sealants in that it comes in an aerosol can and must be applied by hand (rather than with a machine).  The following video shows how easy it is to apply SPNS to your vehicle.

First, the product is sprayed on the foam applicator.  Be aware of over spray!  As you can see, I missed the pad slightly and some of the product ended up directly on the paint.  This is not an issue if that is the area you are going to be working on, however you do not want to be spraying the product on an area where it will be left to dry.  I would typically spray the product away from the vehicle to avoid over spray.

Next, spread the product onto the paint.  I prefer to use a cross hatching motion to help ensure even coverage.  Then immediately remove with a clean microfiber towel.  It is important to work in small areas (approx. 2’x2′) as the product can be difficult to remove, or cause streaking, if you work in larger areas.  It does not take much product to cover an area, and you may notice that you don’t have to spray your applicator before each section, as you may have enough product that has soaked into your foam pad to do several small sections before you need to add more product.  Try dabbing the applicator on the surface to release some of the product that has soaked into the pad, and then spread it out.

Sonax Polymer Net Shield is a product that I have used on several different vehicles now, and I am always pleased with the results.  The application may take a little getting used to, however it is not a difficult process and you’ll surely get the hang of it once you’ve worked a couple of sections.  SPNS provides good overall protection that helps your vehicle stay cleaner for longer periods of time, and also makes routine washing & drying easier.  Due to the awesome hydrophobic properties of this sealant, it is extremely quick and easy to blow the car off with a Master Blaster if you would like to avoid using a towel.

If you’re looking for a nice sealant, look no further.  Sonax Polymer Net Shield is a great choice!
