In two weeks, Hamilton County's automotive community gathers in a hangar for the most exclusive evening of the season.

Here's a SONAX approach to cleaning and protecting every surface, leather, plastic, fabric, and Alcantara, before Artomobilia.

You can spend hours on paint, but tired wheels make the whole car look tired, and at Artomobilia, people crouch to look. Here's a simple SONAX approach to getting your wheels and tires show-ready, from Full Effect Wheel Cleaner to a lasting ceramic coating. Start where the judges look first.
