    got to try new product from Sonax at DD meet. this is not out yet and according to rep from Sonax should be out in 2 month or so.

    Product Name: SONAX Xtreme Plastic Gel exterior NanoPro

    Price: TBD

    Size: 250ml

    Amount used during application: pea size

    Dilution ratios: NA

    Lable appearance: ?

    Directions or Application process: apply with MF or foam, let it haze, wipe excess off (as i found out if surface is not smooth do not apply with MF towels couse surface might atract MF fibers, can be wiped off easyly though, on smooth plastic works
    fine)

    Ease of use: wipe on, wipe off, pretty easy

    Smell / Scent: cant describe it but smells great

    Consistency: white/clear gel

    Cleaning Ability: none? surface needs to be wax free before application

    Lubricity: gel/oily

    Suds: NA

    PH: dont know

    Durability: to be tested, applied july 24

    Pros: smells great, looks great and not oily/shiny like black wow for example, doesnt look like its bad for paint if you get some on it, just wipe it off

    Cons: none so far

    Overall Comments: depends on durabilty and price, would buy it, smells great

    Rating 1-5 (5 being the best): TBD


    testing: applied to my mirror unpainted plastic which feels like 3000 grip sand paper.
    applied on july 24, lets see how long it will last and how many washes/rain days it will take

    i will apply black wow on driver side and see how long each will last
    if this going to be about same price as black wow and lasts just as long or longer i think we going to have great product. maybe somebody will test it with new adams VRT

    In Croatia this product already quite long on the market, but I haven't tried it yet

    Waiting for the result of your test and I hope it's better than Meguiars Trim Detailer ;)

    That looks promising without a doubt, if the durability is good then this could be another great durable exterior trim dressing. It looks natural as well which is a big plus for me, thanks for the review!

    That looks really great, I hope the durability is good.

    I wonder how new Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant is with durability, they claim it is highly durable on automotive trim.

    Thanks for the review Misha. I'm really looking for a black wow replacement. I recently bought PB's Trim Restorer and it's ok. Trying to find something better.

    If I remember correctly, you mentioned that you bought some Sonax products overseas and brought them back with you. If so, did you have any problems bringing it back?

    The above was bought in Amsterdam, but I left it at my boss' house for him to try on his cars. But in regards to your question, I have brought and taken a lot of product with me without any issues. I just don't take liquids with me in case they crack during mid-flight. So usually just waxes or MFs or something.

    Imagine an entire bottle of trim dressing spilling or cracking in your baggage. Messy.
