It's the pro-grade SiO2 ceramic coating for vehicle paint that builds a hard, hydrophobic protective layer right on the clear coat — for long-lasting gloss, better scratch resistance and easy paint care once it's down.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic coatings have reshaped pro car care over the last few years: instead of wax and polymer sealants that fade after a few months, a properly applied SiO2 ceramic coating gives you multi-year protection, far better hydrophobics and a measurably higher resistance to everyday punishment. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pro single-coating option for clear coat from the SONAX PROFILINE range: easier to lay down than two-step systems, stronger than polymer sealants, and built for detailers who want to give their customers top-tier paint protection that actually lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSiO2 ceramic layer for multi-year paint protection.\u003c\/strong\u003e The coating is built on silicon dioxide (SiO2), which bonds chemically with the clear coat after application and forms a glass-like, hard protective layer. That layer outlasts wax (good for a few weeks) or polymer sealants (3–9 months) by a wide margin, and it holds up better against UV, mild acids (bird droppings, industrial fallout) and heat. The result is paint that weathers less over the years and picks up fewer swirl marks from grime during wash contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong beading and a lotus effect once it's coated.\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the most visible traits of a fresh ceramic coating is how hydrophobic the surface gets: water beads off the coated paint completely, drags dirt particles along with it (self-cleaning effect) and leaves barely any spots once it dries. That makes paint care a lot simpler after coating — dirt clings less, water spots show up less often, and you can stretch out wash intervals without the paint suffering for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter scratch resistance and deeper gloss.\u003c\/strong\u003e The glass-like SiO2 layer is harder than the clear coat underneath and shields it from fine scratches caused by washing, dust particles and light mechanical contact. At the same time the high-refraction ceramic layer lifts the paint's gloss: light reflects harder, the paint depth looks more intense, and dark colours (black, dark blue) gain the most from the deeper wet-look the coating brings out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The CC One demands a flawlessly prepped surface — the coating locks in the paint as it is right now, and that means any flaws still left behind become permanently visible too. So do full decon first (iron, tar, clay), then paint correction (polishing), then a panel wipe with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e, and only then lay down the ceramic coating. You apply it with the included applicator pad in small, crosswise passes — thin and even. No polishing pressure, no rubbing; the chemistry does the work. Levelling time runs 1–5 minutes depending on temperature and humidity, then wipe it off with a clean, soft microfibre cloth. On dark coated panels, work in good light so you catch any high spots (overlap marks) straight away. Clean your tools with isopropyl alcohol right after coating — once ceramic coating cures, there's no getting it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSiO2 ceramic chemistry — how the CC One protects and bonds to paint for the long haul\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe way the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One\u003c\/strong\u003e works comes down to a chemical bonding reaction between the SiO2 polymer in the coating liquid and the vehicle's clear coat. When you lay the coating onto the paint surface, the reactive silanol groups (Si-OH) in the formula react with hydroxyl groups on the clear-coat surface — this condensation reaction creates covalent oxygen bridges (Si-O-Si) between the coating polymer and the clear-coat material. The result isn't just a layer sitting on top, but a chemically bonded protective matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat chemical bond is the key advantage ceramic coatings have over wax and polymer sealants: wax and polymers only stick physically (van der Waals forces) and slowly get stripped away by washing, UV and heat. The silicon dioxide layer of the CC One is chemically tied to the clear coat and far more resistant to the factors that break down physically bonded sealants. How long a pro-applied ceramic coating lasts depends on prep quality, application quality and care conditions — a well-done CC One application holds up for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardness of the cured ceramic layer is often quoted on the Mohs scale or as \"9H\" (pencil hardness). The SiO2 layer really is harder than clear coat (typically 4–5H), but it isn't indestructible — deep scratches from sharp objects or coarse abrasives can cut right through the ceramic layer. The protection comes less from absolute scratch resistance and more from its sacrificial-layer role: fine everyday scratches (wash marks, light scuffs) hit the ceramic layer instead of the clear coat underneath. Since the ceramic layer can be polished, surface scratches in the coating can be removed by polishing again, without touching the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the CC One properly — step by step to a perfect ceramic finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying a ceramic coating is more precise and less forgiving than laying down wax or polymer sealants. Step 1 — surface prep: paint correction done, surface fully degreased and clean. No dust, no fingerprints, no polishing-oil residue. The ideal working spot has no draughts and no dust (garage, workshop) at 15–25 °C and moderate humidity. At very high humidity (over 80 %) the curing reaction can speed up, which shortens your working time and makes mistakes during removal more likely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 2 — application: put a few drops of the coating liquid on the included applicator block (suede applicator pad) — don't overdose it; an even film from a little liquid works better than a lot of liquid that creates overlapping layers. Run it across the panel in crossing passes (horizontal, then vertical) — each pass should overlap the previous one by about 30 % to guarantee gap-free coverage. The coating goes on transparent and thin — no visible wet film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 3 — levelling and removal: after 1–5 minutes (depending on temperature) the coating starts to flash off and visible refraction lines (rainbow effect, hazing) appear on the surface — that's the right moment to wipe. Wipe lightly with a soft, clean microfibre cloth (e.g. SONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel) and buff off with a second fresh cloth. Work the bodywork section by section: roof, bonnet, boot lid, then the side panels and finally the bumpers. Once everything is coated, keep the vehicle dry for 12–24 hours so the base layer can fully cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the CC One fits — for which vehicles and use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One\u003c\/strong\u003e is made for vehicle paint (clear coat) on all body parts and covers the full paint spectrum: acrylic clear coats, PU clear coats, matte specialty paints (on matte paint the hydrophobic behaviour is different, so a test on a hidden spot is a good idea) and freshly painted areas after full curing (usually 4–6 weeks after a respray, so the clear coat has fully outgassed). On exposed carbon-fibre surfaces, polished metals and glass, use the material-specific PROFILINE CC products instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CC One is a great fit for vehicle owners and detailers who want long-term protection and are willing to put in the time and care once for a proper application. For cars with dark paint (black, dark blue, dark grey), where swirl marks and water spots really stand out, the ceramic coating is the most effective answer: the beading stops water spots forming, the hardness cuts down swirl marks from washing, and the deep gloss is especially striking on dark colours. For vehicles in daily use with little time for involved care, refreshing the beading once a year with a coating shampoo is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers and reconditioning businesses, the CC One is a premium service offering that clearly stands apart from the standard wax service. The mix of visible gloss results, proven longevity and the premium price bracket makes ceramic coatings the most profitable single service in many reconditioning shops. The one-off material cost (40 ml covers a mid-size car) and the pro application time of 2–4 hours (including prep) are clearly defined for the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CC One compared — ceramic coatings in the SONAX PROFILINE range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE range offers several ceramic coatings for different needs and price points. The \u003cstrong\u003eCC One\u003c\/strong\u003e sits as the pro single-coating option with good value for money and easy single-layer application — ideal for pros who coat vehicles regularly and want a reliable, high-quality result without the extra work of a two-step system. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/a\u003e is the next step up in the CC range, with stronger protection and even longer durability — for cars where maximum performance is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-hybridcoating-cc-one-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridCoating \"CC One\"\u003c\/a\u003e is a worthwhile alternative for anyone who wants easy application and pro results without the surface-prep demands of a pure SiO2 coating. The HybridCoating is a bit more forgiving during application and suits shops that want a good sealant quality in less time. The choice between CC One and HybridCoating comes down to customer expectations, the time budget on hand and the vehicle's price bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers who want to offer the full SONAX PROFILINE ceramic care system, we recommend pairing the CC One for standard jobs, CC Pro for premium vehicles and the HybridCoating for quick coating jobs. Round it out with the material-specific coatings (CC Glass, CC Rim, CC Vinyl+PPF) and you can do a complete vehicle coating (100 % of all exposed surfaces) on the SONAX PROFILINE system — a systematic line-up that builds customer trust in the detailing shop's advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One — contents and application advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 40 ml including two applicator pads. The 40 ml bottle covers one to two full vehicle applications (mid-size car), depending on vehicle size and how efficiently you apply it. On bigger vehicles (SUV, van) or with a very thin application, a 40 ml unit can also be fully used up on a single car. The included applicator pads are matched to the CC One formula and shouldn't be swapped for other applicators, since the applicator surface affects dosing and spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailing shops that coat vehicles regularly, we recommend keeping several units in stock and using fresh material on every job — ceramic coatings can thicken after opening due to humidity and lose application quality. Sealed bottles keep for several years in cool, dry storage (15–25 °C, airtight). After opening, protect the leftover coating in the bottle with a nitrogen spray (gassing out) if you're not using it all up straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC One is the right pick for any detailer or reconditioning business that offers pro long-term paint protection as a core service. The SiO2 technology, the easy single-layer application and the proven PROFILINE product system make the CC One a reliable foundation for high-quality ceramic coating services.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"40ml + 2x application pads","offer_id":54076730540367,"sku":"D1-SNX-2678410","price":62.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-one-paint-keramikversiegelung_40ml.png?v=1735294386"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung","title":"PROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Pro (Paint) ceramic coating","description":"\u003c!-- BLOCK 1: body_html --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProfessional ceramic coating for up to 4 years of paint protection — SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro do? This one-step professional ceramic coating for paint protects for up to 4 years against UV, chemicals and the weather — with extreme hydrophobicity, gloss boost and hardness in a single coat.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work in professional detailing and you want a long-lasting protection solution that goes down in a single coat yet still delivers the performance of a real ceramic coating, the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e is exactly the product you're after. This one-step ceramic coating for paint builds a glass-like SiO₂-based protective layer on the surface that shields the paint for up to 4 years against UV, acid rain, fallout, chemicals and mechanical wear. At the same time the ceramic layer noticeably lifts the gloss and the colour depth of the paint — an optical effect that visibly beats the car's starting condition and that your customers pick up on straight away. The 50 ml kit, complete with 4 application pads, holds enough material for a full mid-size car when you dose it sensibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 4 years of lasting protection in a single coat.\u003c\/strong\u003e The CC Pro is built as a one-step ceramic coating — one layer is all it takes to trigger the full protective effect. Unlike two-step systems, there's no separate promoter step, which cuts the total working time on the coating job. Up to 4 years from a one-step ceramic coating is a strong claim — and it assumes the paint is fully decontaminated, polished and degreased before you lay the product down, so the CC Pro bonds straight to flawless clear coat. With proper prep and regular care (pH-neutral washes, a periodic ceramic top-up), 3 to 4 years of life is realistic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme hydrophobicity and a self-cleaning effect once it has cured.\u003c\/strong\u003e SiO₂ ceramic coatings create a superhydrophobic surface where water beads up into near-perfect spheres and drags dirt particles off with it. With the CC Pro this lotus effect is especially strong thanks to the high SiO₂ concentration in the formula: water doesn't cling to the surface, it rolls straight off. Day-to-day that means fewer water spots after a wash, easier drying and less dirt sticking to the paint. After the ceramic coating the car simply stays cleaner between washes than it would without it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigher surface hardness as a guard against micro-scratches and chemical attack.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once cured, the CC Pro's ceramic layer reaches a hardness well above that of the clear coat — typically 9H or more on the pencil-hardness scale. That hardness protects the paint against micro-scratches from everyday contact like wiper-blade action, automated car washes or dusting off. Chemical resistance against acid rain, bug splatter, bird droppings and industrial fallout is clearly improved over unprotected paint too — aggressive substances can attack the ceramic layer, but they can't eat through to the clear coat anywhere near as fast as on an unprotected car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The CC Pro forgives nothing when it comes to surface prep — lock holograms, scratches or contamination under the ceramic layer and you've preserved them for years. The full prep protocol runs like this: decontamination (iron remover, tar remover), wet-sanding or a correction stage to pull out scratches, then a finishing polish (e.g. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e) for a mirror-flat base, then an IPA wipe to degrease. Only then do you lay the CC Pro down in thin, even passes — keep it from pooling on edges. Work panels no larger than 50×50 cm, watch the dwell time (per the maker's spec), then buff it off with a clean microfibre cloth before the product flashes off. To maintain the finished ceramic layer we recommend the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramic-spraycoating-spruehversiegelung-keramik\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating\u003c\/a\u003e as a periodic topper after every wash — it wakes the beading back up and stretches the life of the CC Pro considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSiO₂ ceramic chemistry explained — how the CC Pro builds paint protection on a molecular level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic coatings like the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e work in a fundamentally different way to waxes or polymer sealants. Waxes and polymers sit as a film on top of the paint, hold on through physical adsorption and get worn down by washes, UV and mechanical contact over weeks to months. Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, react chemically with the paint — the SiO₂ compounds in the CC Pro condense on the clear coat into a covalently bonded glass layer that simple washing or UV can't break down. Only mechanical removal (polishing) or chemical attack at a very low or very high pH will touch the fully cured layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curing process starts the moment you apply the CC Pro and runs 24 to 72 hours for the initial cure, depending on ambient temperature and humidity. The ceramic layer reaches full final hardness after about 7 to 14 days — and during that window you want to keep the car away from harsh weather or aggressive chemicals as much as you can. Ideally you park the coated car indoors or under cover for the first few days. Washes in the first 7 days should be gentle (a hand wash with a rinse only, no pressure washer straight at the surface) so the cure isn't disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SiO₂ concentration in the CC Pro is tuned for a one-step system: too low and you'd lose protection and durability; too high and application gets harder, with the risk of streaking or high-gloss inconsistencies. SONAX has dialled this balance in the CC Pro to suit the way experienced detailers work — a product built for performance that still gives you repeatable results when you use it properly. The optimised flash-off time after application lets you keep a smooth rhythm even on bigger cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the CC Pro the right way — the full workflow from prep to cure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application workflow for the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e breaks down into three phases: prep, apply and cure. The prep phase decides the long-term result: first, fully decontaminate the paint — break down iron particles with an iron remover, treat tar spots with a tar remover, remove lime deposits. Then the correction stage: for paint in normal condition the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as a finishing polish is enough; for heavily scratched paint, run a compound step first with the FS 05-04 or the CutMax. After polishing: an IPA wipe (isopropyl alcohol 1:1 with water) over every panel to strip out oils, polish residue and grease for good. When you apply the CC Pro the paint surface has to be absolutely oil-free and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying: wet the supplied application pad with 2 to 3 drops of CC Pro — no more. Ceramic coatings are concentrated and less is more: a thin, even film bonds better than a heavy layer and comes off more easily. Work panel by panel in crosshatch passes (horizontal + vertical), with overlapping strips of about 3 to 4 cm. Mask edges and trim with tape, or pull residue off straight away with a swab — ceramic that gets onto edges and into gaps cures hard and forces aggressive rework. Watch the dwell time and swap your cloth as soon as it starts dragging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCure and aftercare: keep the car away from rain and moisture for at least 24 hours; first wash no sooner than 48 to 72 hours; full mechanical durability after 7 days. No wax, no silicone spray, no acidic or alkaline cleaners in the first 14 days. After that the car is cleared for normal pH-neutral washes — the long-term care cycle is regular hand washes with a pH-neutral shampoo plus a periodic top-up with a ceramic-friendly topper spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the CC Pro fits — which cars and customers get the most out of a ceramic coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCC Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e suits any car where you want multi-year protection with minimal ongoing upkeep. A ceramic coating pays off most on new cars — here the paint is protected from day one, before scratches, oxidation and contamination get a chance to take hold. For customers who treat their car as an investment or want to keep it spotless, the ceramic coating is by far the most economical long-term option: one application every 4 years replaces a string of yearly polymer sealant treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshops and detailing studios the CC Pro is an attractive premium service: the value to the customer is felt directly (gloss, beading, a protection promise), the margin per job is good, and with consistent prep the product delivers repeatable results. The single 50 ml size with 4 pads is designed for one car and makes job costing clean: one kit = one car. In the shop, store the CC Pro cool and dry; once opened, keep any leftover in the sealed original bottle to keep moisture out, since moisture pre-activates the ceramic chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor leased and company cars the CC Pro is especially worth it: the paint stays in better shape across the whole lease term (typically 2 to 4 years) — fewer scratches, less oxidation, easier washing — which means fewer charge-backs from the lessor at hand-back. A one-off coat at vehicle hand-over pays for itself fast once you weigh it against the cost of professional paint correction at lease end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCC Pro vs. CC One vs. CC Evo — ceramic coating comparison in the SONAX PROFILINE range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating range has the right answer for different needs.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e is the step up in protection (up to 4 years) and SiO₂ concentration — a product for experienced users who expect more from long-term protection and the look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-evo-zwei-stufen-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo\u003c\/a\u003e, finally, is the flagship system in the SONAX PROFILINE ceramic range: a two-step system (promoter + main coating) for maximum bonding and maximum protection life, built for the cases where only the best result will do — show cars, high-value vehicles, customers with the highest standards. The CC Evo takes more time and experience to apply, but it delivers a result that goes beyond the CC Pro.

The kit is sized for one car — on cars up to mid-size the contents comfortably cover every exterior surface (roof, bonnet, wings, doors, rear, bumpers). On bigger vehicles (SUV, van, transporter) we'd suggest dosing very sparingly or keeping a second kit on hand.

Up to 5 years of paint protection against UV, chemical attack, acid rain and mechanical wear — that's what the CC Evo promises, and it delivers when you prep properly and apply it the right way.

This promoter function of the BaseCoat clearly boosts the adhesion of the whole system compared with a single-layer application — the result is a deeper, more durable anchoring of the ceramic layer in the clear coat, which stretches protection out to 5 years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlossCoat for maximum gloss and UV protection as the top layer.\u003c\/strong\u003e The GlossCoat of the CC Evo handles the look and the protective finish: it forms the outer ceramic layer that takes the contact with the elements and at the same time sets the gloss of the whole system. The GlossCoat formula is tuned for maximum transparency and gloss boost — once it has cured, the car looks deeper, clearer and brighter than it did before coating. UV absorbers in the GlossCoat formula protect both the ceramic layer and the paint underneath against UV breakdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 5 years of protection with regular care — the smart long-term option.\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply the CC Evo to a car and keep the ceramic layer topped up with a ceramic-compatible topper, and you protect the paint over a span where ordinary wax sealants would have needed reapplying several times over. The total cost across 5 years — one application kit plus the odd topper product — sits well below what regular polymer sealant treatments add up to. On high-value cars in particular, where keeping the paint right feeds straight into resale value, the CC Evo is an investment that pays off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The CC Evo system doesn't forgive mistakes in prep — and it judges the starting condition of the paint more harshly than single-step systems, because the longer it lasts, the longer any flaw stays visible too. Our protocol: full decontamination (iron remover, tar, clay bar if needed), then paint thickness readings on every panel, a polishing pass with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e for a mirror-smooth base, then an IPA wipe-down 1:1 over every surface. Lay the BaseCoat down first and let it dry fully (per the manufacturer's spec) — only then bring on the GlossCoat. During application, mask off edges, seals and rubber trim or wipe them straight away. For ongoing care once it has cured, we recommend the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramic-spraycoating-spruehversiegelung-keramik\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating\u003c\/a\u003e as a topper after every wash — that stretches the life of the CC Evo and brings the water beading back between care cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo-step ceramic chemistry explained — how BaseCoat and GlossCoat work together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-step principle of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e rests on a chemical synergy between two specialised layers. The BaseCoat contains reactive organosilane compounds that, on application to the clear coat, form covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the paint surface. This chemical cross-linking creates a high-strength bonding bridge and at the same time builds a reactive surface layer that's primed for the GlossCoat. The wait time between BaseCoat and GlossCoat is decisive here: too short, and the BaseCoat hasn't fully reacted with the paint surface yet; too long, and the reactive surface of the BaseCoat partly deactivates. The window for the GlossCoat is spelled out precisely in the product data sheet — and you have to stick to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GlossCoat in turn reacts with the reactive surface of the BaseCoat and forms a covalently cross-linked combined layer out of two ceramic films. This double-layer architecture is structurally more stable and chemically denser than a single layer of the same total thickness — the protective properties aren't additive, they're synergistic. The outer GlossCoat layer takes the primary contact with the elements (UV, water, chemicals), while the BaseCoat secures the structural adhesion and the bond to the clear coat. The result is a ceramic-layer composite that beats the single-layer performance of one-step coatings in durability and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow the CC Evo cures: the chemical cross-linking of both layers kicks in right after application, but full curing (complete cross-linking of all SiO₂ chains) takes 7–14 days at room temperature. For the first 24–48 hours the layer is still mechanically delicate; moisture and water in the first 24 hours should be avoided completely. Professional coating studios cure under controlled conditions (temperature 20–25 °C, relative humidity 40–60%) and use infrared curing lamps that can drop curing time to 2–4 hours. For workshops without an infrared rig, a heated, dry hall is the bare minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCC Evo application protocol — the full workflow for professional results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e calls for a structured protocol that breaks down into three phases. Phase 1 — prep: the car has to be fully decontaminated. Step 1: thorough pre-wash with a high-foam shampoo. Step 2: iron remover treatment on all metal surfaces (paint, wheels). Step 3: tar removal on sills and lower door areas. Step 4: clay bar treatment if the surface still feels rough after the iron remover. Step 5: polishing pass — on new cars the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e is enough; on used cars, compound first (e.g. FS 05-04) then PerfectFinish. Step 6: IPA wipe-down over every surface for full degreasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 2 — BaseCoat application: in a controlled environment (20–25 °C, indoors, no direct sun), lay the BaseCoat down with one of the supplied application pads in thin, even cross-hatch passes over panel sections of about 40×50 cm. Wet the pad only lightly (3–4 drops per pad). Wipe edges and transitions straight away with a dry microfibre cloth. Wait time per the product data sheet (typically 2–5 minutes after the last panel). Swap the cloth when it gets hard to drag — dried BaseCoat residue leaves streaks. Once the BaseCoat is fully on: hold the wait time before the GlossCoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhase 3 — GlossCoat application: grab a fresh pad, lay the GlossCoat on thin with the same method. The GlossCoat has a shorter flash-off time than the BaseCoat — work panel by panel quickly and steadily. Swap the buffing cloth often. Once it's all on: don't move the car for at least 24 hours, don't let it get wet, don't touch it. First gentle hand wash no sooner than 72 hours. Full toughness after 7–14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the CC Evo fits — which cars and customers the system is meant for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCC Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the product for cars where maximum paint protection over a long stretch is the priority. New cars in the premium and luxury segment: here the extra effort of the two-step system pays off, because the car's value justifies the higher care effort and the owner often keeps the same car for many years. Sports cars and exotics: cars that get shown at events and sit under direct light inspection benefit from the superior gloss of the GlossCoat. Cars in demanding environments: owners in rural areas (more stone chips), coastal regions (salt air) or industrial settings (fallout) benefit from the denser protective layer of the two-step system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailing studios, the CC Evo is the premium offering that justifies the top price bracket in the service portfolio: customers paying €500–1500 or more for a paint sealant expect a system with maximum performance and documented durability. The CC Evo kit with 150 ml and 4 pads supplies the material for one car; the service itself typically runs 8–16 working hours for prep and coating. The material share of the total price is manageable that way — the added value comes from the detailer's know-how and the disciplined prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: the CC Evo isn't suited to the inexperienced home user with no background in ceramic coating. If you're working with ceramic coatings for the first time, start with the single-step \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-one-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCC One\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCC Pro\u003c\/a\u003e to build a feel for the work before you put the more complex two-step system on a higher-value car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCC Evo vs. CC Pro head to head — when is the upgrade worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/a\u003e (single-step, up to 4 years) and the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e (two-step, up to 5 years) comes down to a few factors. Car value: high-value cars from about €50,000 up benefit from the step up to the CC Evo — the price gap between CC Pro and CC Evo is marginal next to the car's value, but the extra you get in durability and looks is noticeable. Protection span: if you keep the car 5+ years and don't plan to re-coat in that time, you're better off investing in the CC Evo system with its 5-year life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime on hand: the two-step system takes more time to apply (about 30–60 minutes more than the CC Pro) and a controlled environment for the precise timing between BaseCoat and GlossCoat. For businesses on a tight schedule with high car throughput, the CC Pro can be the more economical call. Experience level: for first ceramic coating projects the CC Pro is easier to handle; the CC Evo assumes a feel for working the material. Bottom line: the CC Pro is the economically and qualitatively balanced all-rounder; the CC Evo is the system for maximum performance with no compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo — what's in the kit, who it's for, and the verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e comes as a complete kit with 150 ml (BaseCoat + GlossCoat combined) and 4 application pads.

A prep step with iron remover and an IPA surface cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) makes sure no oil residue, cleaning agents or fingerprints get in the way of how the ceramic layer bonds. Make a point of working in a shaded spot that's free of dust and draughts — moving air dries the coating faster than you want and can leave you with patchy coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray ceramic technology in the PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating — how it works and how it bonds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic sealants are built on silicon-dioxide or organosilicon compounds that bond on the clear coat into a hard, smooth protective layer. With classic liquid ceramic coatings, these compounds go on highly concentrated, in small amounts with an applicator pad, and cure to bond chemically with the paint surface. Spray ceramic sealants like the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e use a lower-viscosity formula that you can spread evenly over larger areas as an aerosol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bonding mechanism is much the same in principle: the ceramic compounds bond to the paint or clear-coat surface and, once dry, form a thin, even protective layer. The difference is in the layer thickness and how concentrated the ceramic compounds are. Liquid coatings build a thicker, longer-lasting layer; spray coatings are thinner but spread more evenly, and they're easier to strip back or refresh. For shops that want to give cars a regularly refreshed protective layer, the spray coating is the more practical pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important technical point is how it gets on with different surfaces. The PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating is made for paint, but in practice you can also use it on glass, exterior plastic and polished wheels. How well it grips varies with the surface material; on smooth clear coat the bond is ideal. For glass sealing and wheel sealing there are dedicated products in the PROFILINE line, tuned to what those surfaces specifically need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA spray ceramic sealant doesn't last as long as a professionally applied liquid ceramic coating. Where liquid coatings hold for 1–3 years depending on quality and surface prep, spray coatings typically last about 3–6 months under normal use. That shorter life is by design with spray coatings: they're meant as a regularly refreshed protective layer, not a long-term investment like a liquid coating. For a dealership or wash that offers quarterly maintenance packages, that's an upside — recurring service intervals lock in steady income.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother technical angle is how it sits over existing coatings. The SprayCoating can go on over an existing liquid coating as a refresh layer — as long as the base underneath is clean and oil-free. In that setup the spray coating extends the life of the liquid coating beneath it, acting as an outer sacrificial layer that takes the hit from the weather and alkaline wash chemicals. This combo — liquid coating as the base, spray coating as the regular refresh — makes for a professional care concept that pairs maximum protection with sound economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking temperature matters too. Lay the SprayCoating down at ambient temperatures between 10 and 30 °C. Below 10 °C the curing time stretches out badly and the ceramic molecules bond to the paint surface only partly — the seal then lasts noticeably less than stated. Above 30 °C or in direct sun the product dries too fast, before you can spread it evenly. For year-round work a temperature-controlled bay that reliably holds these conditions all year is the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Ceramic SprayCoating the right way — a workflow for top quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith any coating product, surface prep is the deciding factor. With the PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating the rule is: the cleaner and more oil-free the surface, the more even and longer-lasting the protective layer. The recommended prep workflow runs to a full wash (wheels included), an iron-remover step, an optional clay-bar treatment on more heavily contaminated surfaces, and an IPA-cleaner step to pull off every trace of wax, polishing oils and fingerprints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn cars that were treated with a wax or a hybrid sealant beforehand, the IPA step is non-negotiable. Wax residue forms a barrier between the paint and the ceramic layer that badly weakens the bond. In practice, do a wipe test: rub a microfibre cloth soaked in IPA over a panel and check whether any residue shows on the cloth. Once there's no residue left, the surface is ready for the coating. This simple test saves you fiddly rework and gives you good results you can repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application itself starts with spraying the spray coating onto a clean microfibre cloth, not straight onto the paint surface. That gives you a controlled amount and stops streaks from too much product in one spot. With the loaded cloth, spread the coating evenly over a panel in circular motions. Then buff it straight off with a second, dry microfibre cloth — before the product flashes off. Depending on temperature and humidity you've got 30–60 seconds before the coating starts to dry. Work in small sections, one panel at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the whole car is done, keep it away from water for at least 30 minutes. For ideal curing, give it 1–2 hours before any water touches the car. During that curing window the ceramic compounds settle fully onto the surface. The result after curing: an even, hydrophobic protective layer that beads water clearly in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake out there is spraying the product on too generously, straight onto the paint surface. That leads to uneven coverage, streaking when you buff and more product burned through. The correct method — onto the cloth, not onto the panel — is quick to learn and gives results you can repeat, even when several staff in the shop are working with the product. As a way to get up to speed, use a practice car for the first two or three applications, until the right dose and the best buff-off timing are in muscle memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn picking the buffing cloth: a quality microfibre cloth of at least 300 gsm and a short pile works best for application, since it spreads the product evenly without leaving fibre residue on the surface. The buffing cloth should be a different, fresh cloth — never the same one you applied with. After use, wash microfibre cloths separately from other textiles at no more than 40 °C and dry them without fabric softener, to keep the microfibre structure intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSprayCoating in daily shop life — efficiency, costing basics and service offers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailing shops and washes that want to offer a ceramic seal as a service, the 5-litre container of the PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating is the most economical way in. The price per litre on a 5-litre container is far cheaper than on tiny containers. At a typical dose of 30–50 ml per car (depending on car size and surface), a 5-litre container delivers about 100–160 car applications — a manageable production-cost calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe value sits in the service price: a ceramic seal as an add-on to a standard detail can be pitched to customers as a premium option. The time and product the SprayCoating takes are low enough to generate extra margin that the quoted price can justify. Customers who want their new car or pride-and-joy sealed are happy to pay a good deal more for a certified ceramic seal than for an ordinary wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA further angle is the chance to sell maintenance packages. Seal a car with the Ceramic SprayCoating and you can offer the customer a 3- or 6-month maintenance package where the seal gets refreshed at regular intervals. This model builds recurring loyalty and predictable income — much like subscription models in other service trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow you talk to the end customer is a deciding success factor here. Terms like \"ceramic seal\" and \"hydrophobic ceramic protection\" are familiar and positively loaded among car owners.

A good \u003cstrong\u003eglass coating\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes exactly those problems — and \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e goes a step further than the old-school nano sealants. The ceramic formula lays down a fine-crystalline protective layer on the glass that doesn't just shrug off water and dirt, but smooths the surface so much that raindrops get carried away by the airflow at higher speeds. The result feels like an invisible second wiper — only with no moving parts, no wear, and a lifespan of up to 12 months from a single application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrophobic beading for a safe view in the wet.\u003c\/strong\u003e The ceramic coating creates a contact angle where water droplets barely get a grip on the glass anymore. From about 60–80 km\/h the airflow blows the drops off the windscreen without you touching the wipers.

With CC Glass, SONAX tuned the formula so the wipers glide evenly and quietly over the glass. So you can run the coating on the windscreen too, without writing off the wipers as a compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply CC Glass at room temperature (20–25 °C) and plan for at least four hours of curing before the car gets wet. For the first 24 hours don't run the wipers over the coated glass — that's how the ceramic layer reaches its full toughness. The ideal slot is a dry Saturday in the garage or unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic glass coating — how CC Glass works on the glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConventional glass coatings often rely on silicone oils or fluorine compounds that form a water-repellent film on the surface. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the other hand, uses a ceramic coating technology from the PROFILINE range — the same product family the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-evo-zwei-stufen-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramicCoating CC Evo for paint\u003c\/a\u003e belongs to. The idea: the coating builds an inorganic, fine-crystalline layer that bonds chemically with the glass surface instead of just sitting on top. That bond makes the coating far more resistant to car washes, alkaline pre-cleaners and washer fluid than purely organic coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception with glass coatings: a lot of people expect the beading to work instantly and in every situation. The physics behind it are simpler than you'd think — the hydrophobic layer stops water spreading as a film across the glass and makes it form droplets instead. Those droplets only get moving in the airflow, which is why the \"invisible wiper\" effect only really kicks in from around 60 km\/h. In town at 30 km\/h you'll still need the wipers — but there the coating makes them work cleaner and leave fewer streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH resistance of CC Glass sits in the pH 2 to 11 range. What that means day-to-day: normal car shampoos, washer fluid additives and mild pre-cleaners are no problem. Be careful with strongly alkaline cleaners above pH 11 — products like that can strip the coating faster. If you regularly work with snow foams or bug removers, keep an eye on their pH to get the most out of the coating's lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother technical edge of the ceramic formula over classic silicone coatings: it doesn't age under UV. Silicone-based glass coatings turn brittle in sunlight and lose their beading faster — especially on panoramic roofs and rear windows that catch a lot of sun. The inorganic ceramic layer of CC Glass is UV-stable and holds its performance evenly across all glass, whether it's a windscreen shaded by the roof or a rear window baking in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying a glass coating the right way — prep and application step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best coating does little if the prep isn't right. With CC Glass the glass prep is the deciding factor for durability. Old coating residue, oil films from washer additives and fine limescale form a barrier layer that stops the ceramic coating bonding properly with the glass. That's why SONAX recommends machine prep with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-glasspolish-glaspolitur\"\u003ePROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/a\u003e and a felt pad on the polisher. The cerium oxide in the glass polish removes the finest layers and creates a perfectly clean, microscopically even surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter polishing comes a thorough clean with a glass cleaner to remove every bit of polish residue. Only on this completely grease- and residue-free surface does CC Glass go on. Lay down plenty of product on a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-coatingapplicator-applikationspads\"\u003ePROFILINE CoatingApplicator\u003c\/a\u003e and spread it in a cross pattern — horizontal first, then vertical — over an area of about 40 × 40 cm. Work the product in properly rather than just wiping it on thin. This step improves the bond with the glass massively. Repeat the process for each section of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it's on, the coating needs 45–60 minutes of dwell time at 20–25 °C. After that you buff off the residue with a fresh, clean microfibre cloth. Full curing takes 24 hours, though the car can carefully be exposed to rain after 4 hours. For the first 24 hours, though, you shouldn't run the wipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on sequence in a full detail: the glass coating always goes on as the last step after the paint coating. If you've got overspray from a paint coating on the glass beforehand, your best bet is to remove it with the glass polish in the same step. That way you avoid sealing in residue from the paint coating underneath the glass coating. On side windows and the rear window a hand polish with a microfibre cloth and GlassPolish is often enough — you mainly need the polisher for the windscreen, which takes the most wiper wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading and long-term performance — when CC Glass shows its full strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eglass coating\u003c\/strong\u003e plays its strengths above all on A-roads and motorways. From 60–80 km\/h the airflow gets strong enough to carry raindrops off the coated windscreen. On longer motorway runs in moderate rain you can often skip the wipers entirely — a comfort gain you won't want to give up after the first wet drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn heavier rain or in town the wipers work noticeably better on the coated glass: fewer streaks, a cleaner result and no juddering. The coating also makes itself felt on night drives, because glare from a water film on the glass drops off sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-month lifespan is realistic if the prep was thorough and you skip strongly alkaline cleaners when you wash the car. On cars kept outside that go through car washes regularly, the lifespan can drop to 6–9 months — still a very good figure for a glass coating. Usage runs about 10–15 ml per car (all glass), so the 50 ml bottle is good for 3–4 full applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat CC Glass can't do, mind you: remove scratches from the glass or repair damaged windows. Deep wiper marks that leave the glass looking dull have to be tackled with a glass polish before coating — otherwise you seal in the state it's in, scratches and all. You shouldn't use CC Glass on plastic sunroof panels or Plexiglas covers either — the product is formulated purely for real glass (mineral glass). For plastic surfaces SONAX has its own product in the range with CeramicCoating CC Plastic+Rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor cars that often cover longer distances in the rain — say field-service cars, commuter cars or motorhomes — the safety gain from the better view is especially high. The mix of less glare at night, faster water run-off and reduced dirt cling cuts fatigue on long wet drives noticeably. Drivers who spend a lot of time on unlit A-roads in particular benefit from the way glare from oncoming traffic drops off thanks to the missing water film on the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to renew the coating once the lifespan is up, there's no need for a complete re-prep. A thorough clean with glass cleaner and a fresh application is enough — the machine polish with GlassPolish is only a must on the first application or on heavily soiled glass with old coating residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlass coating compared — CC Glass vs. GYEON Quick View vs. Gtechniq G1\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the field of professional \u003cstrong\u003eceramic glass coatings\u003c\/strong\u003e there are several established products, each with its own strengths. SONAX CC Glass positions itself as a single-layer ceramic coating with a 12-month lifespan — a strong figure by comparison, since plenty of rivals land at 6 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGYEON Q² Quick View is a popular alternative that stands out for its fuss-free application without a polisher. The lifespan is around 6 months, which is plenty for many users. If you want to re-coat your glass regularly and don't own a polisher, this is a good way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGtechniq G1 ClearVision goes for a two-layer application and gets lifespans of up to 2 years that way — but the application is more involved and the product noticeably pricier. For professional detailers who want to offer maximum durability, it's an interesting option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX CC Glass hits the sweet spot in between: single-layer application like Quick View, but with ceramic long-term durability close to the G1 — and that as part of a closed care system with a matched glass polish, glass cleaner and applicators from the PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne angle that often gets lost in the comparison: wiper compatibility. Some very hydrophobic glass coatings give an impressive beading effect, but at the same time make the wipers judder, skip or leave streaks. SONAX formulated CC Glass explicitly so the wiper run stays smooth — an advantage that shows up in everyday use more than a marginally stronger contact angle. After all, a coating you can only use on side windows because the wipers don't work on the front screen solves only half the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are interesting overlaps with the spray coatings too — like SONAX PROFILINE Ceramic SprayCoating or CarPRO Clarify PH2OBIC. These spray products go on a lot faster and are ideal for regular top-ups between ceramic applications. As a standalone glass coating, though, they reach neither the lifespan nor the layer thickness of a true ceramic coating like CC Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying a glass coating — who CC Glass is worth it for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX CeramicCoating CC Glass is aimed at detailers and keen drivers who want a professional \u003cstrong\u003eglass coating\u003c\/strong\u003e with maximum durability. If you already own a polisher and take your car care seriously, CC Glass is the logical add-on to your paint coating — because a coated screen lifts the overall result of a detail considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination works especially well as a full package: coat the paint first with CeramicCoating CC Evo or CC One, then treat the plastics with CC Plastic+Rubber, protect the headlights with CC HeadlightCoating, and finish by coating all the glass with CC Glass. That way the whole car is sealed in one system — with matched chemistry from a single source. For the customer of a professional detail it's a convincing complete package, and for the detailer it cuts complexity, because prep, curing times and pH compatibility are all matched within the PROFILINE system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn price, CC Glass with 50 ml good for 3–4 applications per bottle sits in the mid segment of professional glass coatings. Per car you reckon on 10–15 ml, which keeps the cost per application manageable. For detailers who offer glass coating as an add-on service, that's an attractive bit of maths with a high perceived value for the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're trying CC Glass for the first time, start with the windscreen — that's where the effect is most clearly noticeable and you get an immediate feel for the right application and the right amount of product. Then come the side windows, and the rear window last. That way you work systematically from the most important to the least critical surface, and by the rear window you've already built the routine to get an even, streak-free result on all the car's glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"50 ml + applicator pad","offer_id":57345127711055,"sku":"D1-SNX-02730000","price":31.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-glass-scheibenversiegelung_3-teile-set.png?v=1774736511"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-rim-felgenversiegelung","title":"PROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Rim — Professional wheel coating with ceramic protection","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLong-lasting ceramic coating for wheels — SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim?

After that, degrease the wheel with clear-coat thinner or IPA (70%) and let it dry fully.

Work spoke by spoke and section by section in small amounts and wipe off straight away; don't cover a big area and then come back to remove it all at once.

That layer is chemically inert against the aggressive stuff wheels meet every day: iron particles from the brake pads, which hit several hundred degrees under hard braking and burn into bare aluminium surfaces, run into the ceramic barrier and can't bond with the wheel underneath. The particles sit on top of the coating and lift off at the next wash with water or wheel cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heat resistance of the CC Rim layer is dialled in specifically for wheel use: coatings made for regular bodywork paint aren't optimised for high heat and can take damage when brake heat carries over near the wheel. The CC Rim formula stands up to the temperatures wheels see in normal driving and stays intact even after lots of braking on long downhill runs or in city traffic with plenty of stops. That makes CC Rim especially relevant for keen drivers or cars with powerful brake systems, where brake heat runs hotter than average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter it has fully cured (typically 24–48 hours at room temperature, depending on humidity and temperature), the CC Rim coating has a measurably higher water contact angle than the untreated wheel face — the lotus effect of the ceramic layer means water beads up and leaves no spots.

The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-felgenreiniger-red-max-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FelgenReiniger Red Max\u003c\/a\u003e chemically pulls out the iron particles, and the SONAX PROFILINE PinselSet helps you work it mechanically into every corner of the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 2: degrease. After cleaning, rinse with clear water and let it dry. Then wipe the wheel down with IPA (isopropyl, 70%) or a dedicated degreaser to remove every trace of oil, wax and cleaner. A degreased surface is the precondition for the ceramic layer to grip properly. Skip this step and you risk a patchy or poorly bonded coating. Step 3: apply. Lay the CC Rim down with the supplied applicator in small, even areas on the dry, degreased wheel. Put a small amount of coating on the applicator per spoke or wheel section and spread it evenly across the surface. Wipe it off evenly with the removal cloth straight away — don't coat large areas and then come back to remove them all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 4: curing. After coating, keep the wheel off the road and unwashed for 24–48 hours. Cure time can vary with temperature and humidity: at 20°C and moderate humidity the layer is cured through after 24 hours. In colder temperatures or high humidity, wait up to 48 hours. Keep it away from water and cleaners while the layer is still curing — water can create high spots and leave the coating patchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCC Rim vs. other wheel-protection options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several approaches to wheel protection on the market, and they differ sharply in durability, protection and effort. Wax-based wheel protectants (carnauba wax or synthetic wax products, for example) give short-term protection for a few weeks up to two months at most — they go on easily but need topping up often and hold up less well than ceramic layers against the high temperatures near the brakes. For cars driven daily with regular hard braking, wax on wheels just isn't a lasting solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolymer sealants (spray sealants, for instance) sit between wax and ceramic: they last longer than wax (typically 3–6 months), go on more easily than ceramic coatings and give solid everyday protection. For professional outfits or owners chasing maximum protection with minimal top-up intervals, though, a polymer sealant isn't the best answer. With up to 12 months of protection, the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts more than twice as long as a polymer sealant and holds up far better against chemicals and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wheels that deserve extra attention — sport wheels, chrome wheels, expensive alloys, or wheels on cars with powerful brake setups — the CC Rim is the right call: maximum protection, 12 months of durability, dramatically less cleaning, and an easy-to-clean ceramic face that shrugs off even stubborn brake dust. Paired with the other SONAX PROFILINE \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramicCoating CC Pro\u003c\/a\u003e products for paint and glass, you get complete vehicle protection from a single product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheel types and material compatibility — which surfaces CC Rim suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim\u003c\/strong\u003e is compatible with every common wheel material and finish used on modern cars. On aluminium wheels — the most common wheel material on new cars — the ceramic layer bonds beautifully to clear-coated, polished and machined surfaces. Clear-coated aluminium wheels benefit from CC Rim as an extra protective layer over the factory clear coat, which on its own isn't a strong enough barrier against brake dust burning in. Polished wheels with a high-gloss finish gain the most, since the ceramic layer seals the polished surface and stops oxidation and staining from dulling the finish for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn steel wheels — typical on winter sets and commercial vehicles — CC Rim works just as well: steel wheels often have no clear coat and sit directly exposed to brake dust and the weather. A ceramic coating on steel wheels forms a more durable barrier than conventional wheel care and cuts down rust starting in scratches and chips considerably. For cars on seasonal tyres it's well worth applying the CC Rim to the winter set — the wheels then need far less heavy cleaning when you store them in spring and put them back on in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn chrome wheels and chrome trim on wheels (cover rings, chrome trims), CC Rim works too and protects against the typical dulling of chrome surfaces from brake dust and flash rust. After cleaning and degreasing, the ceramic layer goes on the same way as on other surfaces — the smooth chrome mirror actually helps you lay down a particularly even layer. On wheels that combine different finishes (polished spokes and a matte barrel, say), CC Rim can be used across all areas — the layer adapts to the surface character and visibly changes neither the high gloss nor the matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim — which cars and situations it pays off for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating CC Rim\u003c\/strong\u003e comes as a complete 6-piece application kit and is aimed at professional detailing outfits, detailing studios and demanding owners who want lasting protection for their wheels and a lasting cut in cleaning effort. For shops that regularly coat whole cars, the CC Rim is part of the standard line-up — a companion to paint and glass coating that rounds out the vehicle-protection portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners with wheels that get dirty fast — cars with big brake calipers and plenty of brake dust to match, cars with open wheel designs that expose the barrel, or cars that spend a lot of time on motorways or in city stop-and-go — the investment in CC Rim pays off especially quickly. The time saved on heavy wheel cleaning at every wash recoups the one-off cost of the coating within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor mobile detailers the ready-made 6-piece kit is especially handy: it's all there, no separate gear needed, and the kit packs compactly into any toolbox. The CC Rim is a professional add-on that delivers visible value to customers and demonstrably cuts down regular cleaning effort — an argument that's easy to get across when you talk it through with the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"6-piece set","offer_id":57345128268111,"sku":"D1-SNX-02638410","price":46.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-rim-felgenversiegelung_6-teile-set.png?v=1774736514"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/collections\/sonax-keramikversiegelung.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
