Kill Car Interior Germs With This Easy-to-Use Spray from Sonax

With much less driving done during this period of community quarantine, enhanced or otherwise, it’s become an important practice for you to warm up your car not just to keep the battery charged, but also to keep vital fluids such as the coolant and engine oil from becoming stale.

According to carmakers, the proper warm up procedure takes an hour. Why? Well, because it already takes approximately 20 minutes of running just to put back power into the 12-volt battery what was lost during the start-up.

This long period of idling makes it an opportune time to wash and clean your car, especially the frequently used touchpoints to prevent any possible COVID-19 infection. But wiping and detailing can only get you so far because there’s one area you can reach: the innards of your A/C system.

This is where the four-step A/C cleaner from Sonax comes in.

Retailing for less than P 600 per single-use can, the Sonax A/C Cleaner actively deep cleans your car’s air conditioning system and neutralizes harmful bacteria which is a common source of musty odors. Using it entails a simple four-step process which should become part of your weekly car warm-up routine.

Here’s how you use it (or check the video below for a visual guide):

Step 1: turn your car’s air conditioning to its maximum setting. If you can set the flow of air, open all the blowers. Oh, and make sure you have re-circulate function turned on.

Step 2: move the driver’s seat as close as possible to the steering wheel.

Step 3: Shake the Sonax A/C Cleaner, hold the can away from your body, and activate the spray head. Place the can in the rear seat behind the driver’s seat.

While waiting for the A/C cleaner can to empty, you can do other things like washing your car.

Step 4: When you see that the can’s empty, open the doors and ventilate the car for 10 minutes.

With the COVID-19 pandemic going around, taking extra precautions such as disinfecting your car’s A/C system should be a must in the “new normal.” Despite these precautions though, it’s best to use products that are specially formulated to work with your car’s delicate interior such as the Sonax Air Cleaner.

Sonax Has a 2-in-1 Polish-and-Wax That Saves You Time (and Effort)

One of the hassles of DIY car cleaning is that it takes time. For busy bodies such as myself who has barely enough time to exercise, dedicating time to keeping a car spotless is sometimes the last thing on our minds. And while the weekly 30-minute car wash is bearable, what about polishing and waxing?

Thankfully, Sonax has come up with the Easy Shine, a two-in-one wax and polish that, as its name suggests, is easy to use. Like all other Sonax offerings, the Easy Shine is exclusively formulated and made in Neuburg in Germany, backed by the company’s 70-year heritage of providing premium quality car care products.

Unlike traditional waxes polishes, the Sonax Easy Shine can be applied in direct sunlight and/or a hot car surface. It also dries easily (30 seconds) and can be wiped off almost immediately. And even if it’s left on the car’s surface for some time, it can still be wiped off with little difficulty. It can also be used with a buffing machine.

With ultra-fine abrasives, the Sonax Easy Shine gently cleans the paint surface and removes the smallest bumps creating a fresh, bright, and glossy look. It also contains high-quality carnauba wax that provides lasting protection against the elements.

“The Sonax Easy Shine is part of our DIY range,” explains Werner Hofmann, Sonax Area Sales Manager for Asia-Pacific. “And because of that, it’s designed to be fool-proof so there’s little chance of it damaging the car’s paint even if you rub it hard. Also, it gives that new car shine even if you don’t have that much free time. All it takes is one application every 3 months, and you’re ready to go.”

The Sonax Easy Shine is now available at all Blade Auto outlets nationwide and online through Lazada. For more information about Sonax Easy Shine and where to buy it, contact Sonax Philippines through their Facebook page.

Sonax Philippines Brings Professional Shine into DIY Range

In the world of car care, marketing and branding are king; or so they say. Focusing instead on research and development, Sonax has taken a very different path—one that enabled them to rise as the leading manufacturer of car care products in Germany, Japan, China, and the U.S.A.—the most discerning markets in the world.

Remaining a private, family-owned company with a 70-year history, Sonax has focused on products that provide for the cleaning and maintenance of car surfaces. From their first product, “Sonax”—a synonym for “wax”—their focus hasn’t changed. Today, 20 people or 4 percent of their entire headcount is dedicated to R&D, and manufacturing of 500 different products is centralized only in one location: Neuburg in Germany.

“R&D is the heart of Sonax,” says Werner Hoffman, Sonax Area Sales Manager for Asia-Pacific. “Others may simply rely on subjective opinion, at Sonax this is not enough. Everything we do is backed up by extensive laboratory testing. We even have our own unique testing tools such as a Polishing Tester to check the effectiveness of our polishes and waxes.”

Known more for their professional range, including the CC36 Ceramic Coating, Sonax is now re-introducing its range of DIY products for the Philippine market including the Gloss Shampoo, Easy Shine, High-Speed Wax, Brilliant Shine Detailer, Xtreme Interior Cleaner, Leather Care Foam, Tire Gloss Gel, and Wheel Cleaner.

“Our DIY formulation stems from our decades of experience manufacturing professional products,” says Jeremy Ong, Regional Support Manager for Sonax. “While our DIY line has the same Sonax Advantage—where you use less of the product to get more results, it’s designed to be safe for everyone, even the casual motorist, to use. You don’t need to be trained to use them effectively. Sonax is tested to be safe on any car surface and it’s tested to work on any car—German, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, or American.”

One great example is the Sonax Leather Care Foam which works safely on any leather surface—whether it’s stitched, perforated, or even Nappa. Because of its foam-based formulation, it gets into the textured surface of leather, gently lifting trapped dirt without leaving any residue. It even provides UV protection without the stickiness or shine.

Sonax DIY products are now available at all Blade Auto outlets nationwide and can be purchased online through Lazada. In addition, Sonax detailing services are available at selected dealerships and car wash establishments nationwide.
