Use in practice
Cleaning, polishing and protection
AVP uses SONAX according to the process for pre-cleaning, paint correction and detailing finish, as well as in comparative tests. Cut, finish quality, material compatibility, process stability and repeatability are assessed.
Cleaner, polish and protection must suit the material and the preceding and following work stages.
Frequently asked questions
PROFILINE covers professional cleaning, correction and finishing stages with coordinated products. The individual product must still be chosen for the material, defect and objective.
CutMax provides stronger controlled correction, while PerfectFinish handles finer correction and refinement. A paint inspection and suitable test area determine whether both stages are needed.
BSD can support slickness, gloss and water repellency during maintenance. Its durability and protection should not be equated with every multi-layer or professional coating system.
Cleaner, concentration and dwell time must suit the wheel surface and contamination. Hot components, sensitive finishes and dried-on chemistry increase the risk of avoidable damage.
AVP assesses cut, finish, material compatibility and residue at each stage. Other brands can follow when preparation, degreasing and protection are chemically and sequentially compatible.
