Sonax CC36

The Sonax CC36 or also called the Sonax Ceramic Coating CC36 from the PROFILINE product line is a long lasting ceramic protection that is applied in 2 coats after which it can provide up to 36 months or 3 years of protection when applied correctly and with proper maintenance.

The use of Sonax Ceramic Coating CC36 will give the paint extra shine, color, depth and reflection which will significantly improve the appearance of the car. It will also ensure that the paint is protected from UV rays, wax scratches and contamination which will also make the overall appearance of your car last longer. In addition, the ceramic protection also provides dirt and water repellent properties that will keep your car clean longer and also make it easier to clean.

For maximum performance and durability, it is important to have proper preparation. Before you can start coating, it is recommended to have at least 2 hours to apply the coatings. In addition, it is important that the coatings have good adhesion to the paint. You do this by making the paint as clean and flat as possible. Start by washing the car extensively and then removing iron particles and tar stains. Also ingrained dirt is best removed by doing a clay treatment. Finally, it is oon recommended to polish the paintwork. This is because the paint defects that get underneath the coating cannot be removed without removing the coating as well. It will also ensure that the paintwork is nice and clean and flat, allowing maximum adhesion between the Sonax Ceramic Coating CC36 and the paintwork. Finally, it is also important to degrease the paint before applying the Basecoat. This is done with a microfiber cloth and the included Sonax Prepare.

After the paint has been degreased, it is also important that the car is in a dry place and not in sunlight. Make sure the paint is cool and can also stay dry for 24 hours. If you have just washed your car, we recommend blowing cracks and edges dry. This is to prevent water from running out of these crevices during the coating process that could potentially damage the coating.

The Sonax Ceramic Coating CC36 consists of 2 coatings. The basecoat which lays a foundation layer between the paint and the gloss coating applied on top of it that provides the gloss and protection. The Basecoat is a spray that is applied to the white side with the supplied applicator number 1. Then the paint is treated in overlapping horizontal and vertical movements in an area of 50x50cm. After 2-3 minutes of drying you can remove the excess product with a microfiber cloth. Preferably a thick microfiber towel without edges like the Custom Car Care Grey Edgeless Towel. Turn your microfiber towel regularly and replace if necessary. We also recommend disposing of the microfiber cloths after use as the coating will harden and form crystals in the microfibers that can scratch the paint on subsequent use.

Use a second clean microfiber cloth to go over the area again and an additional 10 inches beyond to make sure you have wiped off all the excess product. If the excess product does not come off easily, this can have 3 reasons. Either you used too much product, the surface is too hot or you waited too long to take it off again. Adjust your technique so that the excess product comes off easily. Semi-hardened coatings can be softened by spraying a little Basecoat onto the applicator and applying it to the area and wiping it off with a microfiber cloth.

Treat the entire car in this way. Let the Basecoat dry for 1 hour before applying the Glosscoat. Apply the Sonax CC36 Glosscoat with the included applicator number 2. Apply a little Glosscoat on the white side of the applicator and treat again in an area of 50x50cm. There is no drying time of 2-3 minutes. You can immediately wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. Treat the whole car again in this way.

After you have applied both layers of coating, the car must dry for at least 12 hours. Avoid touching the paint and make sure it does not get wet or come in contact with chemicals. Do not wash the car for the first week. If it does get dirty you may spray the car wet after 12 hours, but avoid soap or other chemicals. To protect the coating in its most vulnerable period the first week, it is recommended to protect the coating with a spray coating such as the Sonax Ceramic Spray Coating. This will protect the coating by the spray coating layer on top of the Glosscoat. Repeated use of the spray coating every 3-4 weeks will also enhance the performance and durability of the Sonax CC36.
