Yes very nice product. I've been playing with it on our personal cars. Have not used it on customers cars yet. Follow the directions very easy to use.

Yep! Great stuff and very easy to apply / remove! I've had it on my truck since last fall and it stills beads nicely after all the snow, salt, and sand.

I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback. I've been debating whether or not to buy it for a while, and think I'll pull the trigger soon.

Can anyone confirm or deny this any further?

If you're looking for a sealant... buy it.

It looks great, it is easy to use (when directions are followed), and the beading is like nothing you've ever seen before... unless you've used Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer :)

Detailers Domain loves it and I`ve read other great reviews. On my list once I am low on my current stock of LSP`s.

The directions on the can are a little vague. Do you apply it thin and let it cure then polish it off? Or is it best sprayed on and buffed off immediately? It doesn't specify.

We used it on a rotary buffer only Corvette in the write-up below...

De-tape and Seal with SONAX Polymer Net Shield
After we removed all the masking tape and cover-up towels and wheel maskers we re-wiped any residues off the paint and then applied the SONAX Polymer Net Shield

Careful wiping
While some of the guys were applying the Polymer Net Shield, others were carefully wiping off the excess using the very soft, rolled edge green microfiber towels.

Spray on applicator, spread on 2x2 area, then immediately wipe off.

If you spread over a large area it may be difficult to remove and cause streaking. It is very easy to wipe off if you apply to a small area at a time.

DD has a good YouTube video demonstrating application.

If I remember correctly, it wiped off a tick on the hard side and that's probably one of the reasons they recommend applying to a single panel and then wiping that panel off before moving onto a new panel.

One thing I do and try to share with others and that's anytime you're using a wax, sealant or coating that's NEW to you. Apply following all directions to just a small area, about the size of a microfiber towel.

Then again, following directions as to how to wipe it off and how long to wait, go ahead and remove the product from the paint.

Real quickly this will introduce you to how this product applies and wipes off before you go over the entire car.

I wrote an article about this specifically to share for people using Klasse Sealant Glaze to keep them out of trouble but the technique works for any LSP.
