Anyone ever use Sonax Net Shield?

Anyone ever hear or use any Sonax products? I've read some good reviews about them. Apparently the net shield is a wipe on sealant. I've seen a video on YouTube where it was still beading water after 6 months.

Sonax makes one of the most talked about wheel cleaner. It sprays on yellow and when it turns a dark purple it is time to wash off. Still need to scrub with a bristle brush but lightly.

Thank you. I'm leaning towards using a sealant as soon as I get my car and wanted to research what was out there.

Ive used a lot of products, adams, zaino, menzerna as well as pretty much all the off the shelf products and hands down best stuff ive used is blackfire. Its amazing gloss and by far one of the easiest on and off waxes ive used. I do two coats minimum. Seems to last about 4 months on my old camaro as a dd and my zl1 lasts 8 months to a year (not daily driven).

Menzerna for polish and corrections then blackfire for sealant/wax. (Wheels are always cleaned with soap water a dry with paper towel. Never any product and they look great.)

As said....it looks good and beads like crazy, but is very grabby and finicky to apply. I used it once and now the bottle jut sits there.

I use Sonax Netshield on mine and I don't plan on changing. It is not difficult to put on and remove. Anyone that says this is putting too much on or letting it sit before wiping the panel down. With a quality microfiber cloth it comes right off.
