Ask any car enthusiast in Singapore about the best car paint protection and you will get responses mentioning SONAX ceramic coating. If you have never heard of the brand or wonder what makes it so popular among many drivers in Singapore, this article is for you as we share the story behind the brand along with why it’s the best car paint protection.
What is SONAX?
SONAX began as a pioneer in car care after its founder Franz Hoffman, extracted silica – an extremely fine mineral that was used in household polishes – and started manufacturing car care products after World War II in Neuburg on the Danube.
The brand’s beginning was simple with four SONAX representatives driving throughout Germany and promoting the product to customers. It wasn’t until the German economic miracle that SONAX car care products started to experience a breakthrough, leading the brand to where it is today.
From the mid-1960s onwards, SONAX supplied the first fully automated car washes with high-quality cleaning and care products. As more and more people could afford private cars, this contributed to the rising demand for SONAX car care products.
Soon, SONAX started manufacturing its care products for various markets such as the agricultural industry, hardware trade, forestry sector, construction, production engineering, and even the sanitary sector.
Today, SONAX care products are available in over 100 countries around the world and stand for the highest quality “Made in Germany” for excellent effect and outstanding performance.
Why is SONAX the best car paint protection in Singapore?
To ensure the highest quality car care products, the research department of SONAX works continuously to make good products even better. They even provide safety data sheets for every SONAX product, as proof that they pass the following tests:
Stability tests – Over 4 weeks, SONAX products will be stored for 12-hour periods at -20°C, 4°C, room temperature, 35°C and 50°C, and then another 12 hours at room temperature. After each week, the pH value and viscosity will be tested.
Tension crack test – Each SONAX product will be applied onto very sensitive polycarbonate and then stored for 48 hours at 80°C under a 1% limit strain, after which an assessment will be carried out on the formation of tension cracks.
pH value control test – The pH values of every SONAX product will be measured with the product undiluted and in a 1% solution with water.
Flashpoint and refractive index tests – Each SONAX product will be tested for its flash point and refractive index.
Rubber & plastic stability test – The rubber and plastic materials relevant to SONAX products will be immersed in the product and stored for one week, and measured for weight gain afterwards.
Paint compatibility test – Certain SONAX products will be applied onto sensitive refinish paint and stored for 48 hours at 80°C. There must be no visible surface swelling.
Thanks to its silica-based formula, which is derived from quartz crystals and sand, SONAX ceramic coating is deemed one of the best car paint protection you can ever opt for in Singapore, offering superior resistance against heat, abrasion, chemicals, water, and impact.
When SONAX ceramic coating is applied to your car’s paintwork, the inorganic compounds will bond with your car paint to form a crystal-clear shell, which becomes a semi-permanent paint sealant that lasts longer than any other car paint protection you have ever known.
On a mineral hardness scale, ceramic coating can go up to 9H, which is similar to corundum – a rock-forming mineral that is widely known for its extreme hardness and sometimes found as beautiful transparent crystals in many different colours.
It also creates a permanent hydrophobic surface on your car, making it easier for you to wash your car and at the same time, difficult for dirt, mud, and grime to stick onto your car paint. On top of that, it will make your car look extremely shiny so that you don’t have to polish them often.
Things You Should Know About the SONAX brand
SONAX and cars go hand in hand. The company is a long-time partner of ABT Sportsline, offering the highest quality car care products to race cars, which has allowed SONAX to gain the attention of motorsports fans for top services and innovations in and around brilliantly well-cared-for cars.
In addition to that, auto detailers who want to become part of the SONAX family will need to have the relevant skills and necessary technical equipment to use their products. They will also receive personal and regular support from SONAX’s specially trained team of experts.
Hence, this shows the brand’s inclusiveness in engaging auto detailers worldwide to become an authorised and skilled detailer with SONAX products. This is also the reason why Lambency Detailing chose to incorporate SONAX products into their auto-detailing services.
