The SONAX brand’s history goes back to the beginning of the last century. In 1905 Neuburg, Germany, Manfred Hoffman extracted siliceous earth – an extremely fine mineral which was used in many domestic polishes. After the war, a silver polish was developed and marketed under the name, “Sona” – while very successful, it had very limited market opportunities due to its application. Therefore, the idea of creating a car polish was born!
