Setup and Preparation
Proper preparation is crucial for achieving optimal results with SONAX Xtreme Polish+Wax 3 Hybrid NPT. Follow these steps before application:
- Clean the Vehicle: Thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle to remove all dirt, dust, and contaminants. Use a high-quality car shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
- Inspect Paintwork: Examine the paint surface for any deep scratches or imperfections that may require professional attention. This product is designed for light scratches and swirls.
- Work in a Shaded Area: Always apply the product in a cool, shaded environment. Avoid direct sunlight or hot surfaces, as this can cause the product to dry too quickly and become difficult to remove.

Operating Instructions
The SONAX Xtreme Polish+Wax 3 Hybrid NPT can be applied manually or with a polishing machine. Choose the method that best suits your needs and experience level.
Manual Application
- Apply a small amount of polish onto an applicator pad.
- Work on a small section of the paintwork at a time (e.g., 50x50 cm).
- Apply the polish evenly with moderate pressure in a circular or cross-hatch motion until a slight haze appears.
- Allow the polish to dry for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute until a dry film forms.
- Using a clean, soft microfiber cloth, wipe off the residue with light pressure. Turn the cloth frequently to use a clean side.
- Repeat the process for all sections of the vehicle.
Machine Application
- Attach a suitable polishing pad (e.g., medium-cut foam pad) to your polishing machine.
- Apply a few drops of polish directly onto the pad.
- Place the pad flat on the paint surface before starting the machine to prevent sling.
- Work on a small section at a time, using a low to medium speed setting. Move the machine slowly and evenly in a cross-hatch pattern, applying light to moderate pressure.
- Continue polishing until the desired correction is achieved and the polish begins to clear.
- Wipe off any remaining residue with a clean, soft microfiber cloth.
- Repeat the process for all sections of the vehicle.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Streaks or uneven finish | Applied too much product; product dried too quickly; insufficient buffing. | Apply a thinner layer of product. Work in smaller sections. Ensure application in a cool, shaded area. Buff thoroughly with a clean microfiber cloth. |
| Product difficult to remove | Product dried on the surface for too long; applied in direct sunlight or on a hot surface. | Work in a cool, shaded area. Do not let the product dry completely. If dried, reapply a small amount of polish to reactivate it, then immediately wipe off. |
| Holograms or swirl marks visible after polishing | Improper application technique; dirty applicator pad/microfiber cloth; product not fully broken down. | Ensure applicator pads and cloths are clean. Use consistent pressure and motion. For machine application, ensure proper pad selection and speed. This product is designed to remove holograms, so re-evaluate technique. |
