SONAXBRILLIANT SHINE DETAILER (750 ml) - Quick and easy paint care for a brilliant deep shine. Improves and protects the paint finish. | Item-No. 02874000-544

I’ve been looking for something quick to use for in-between major car cleans and my internet research pointed me towards Sonax BSD.A few weeks ago I clayed and hand polished the car. It must have been looking good as it attracted a couple of comments from friendly passers-by. Anyway since then we’ve had a bit of rain and the usual accumulation of dust and grime has appeared and taken the shine right off it.After a quick wash and towel dry I went around the whole car with this product and a couple of micro fibre cloths. It did a great job and the car was looking absolutely mint again.It took around 20-25 minutes to go around a hatchback at a leisurely pace, including the roof and paying attention to detail. I used one cloth to apply and had a couple of fresh ones on hand to buff off. It has a pleasant smell and is generally nice to work with in my opinion.A lot is made about this product being tacky. I suppose it is, but only relative to similar sprays that are super slick. It’s not that bad. The spray nozzle doesn’t help as it’s more of a squirt than a spritz so you’ve got a very uneven distribution before you even put cloth to panel. Use sparingly and build up slowly would be my advice.I applied Sonax BSD a week ago and the car is still looking good. It seems to be fairly versatile as I cleaned my composite door with it too.For the price it’s definitely worth a try to see if it works for you. It’s exactly what I was looking for - something quick to top up the shine and last longer than a day or two.Recommended.Update-So according to my purchase history I bought this bottle 3 years ago. I’ve just bought another. In the intervening years I’ve used it to great success, however these days I decant it into a fine spray bottle and mix it 1:1 with water. This is the best way to apply it in my opinion. I don’t use it every time I wash the car (sometimes I’ll use a wax) but out of all the products I’ve used the combination of shine, water beading and longevity is outstanding.

The only part of the description I do not agree with is 'detailer'. I would call it more a finishing gloss.It is both thicker and more effective than any detailer I have used before (I have tried many well known names) and leaves a shiny streak free surface. My cars are well polished anyway, but the water beading is outstanding with this.After washing the car I just spray some on a microfibre cloth for each panel and wipe on/wipe off just as if I was drying the car. That's it. Leaves no streaky/greasy marks, but gives a really nice finish on all surfaces and it lasts.The price is another plus as it is cheaper than most other 'detailers'.

There seems to be a lot of these Detailer polishes on the market these days. It's hard to say which one is best as they all see to have a reasonable performance. This one caught my eye and seeing that it was one I hadn't tried I thought I'd give it a go. I was glad I did. This is a very good product. It goes on easy and comes off easier. It leaves a very good shine and plenty of protection as indicated by the way the water behaves on it after it rains. So much water comes off the roof I need the wipers. Lasts a good time as well though I use it every time I wash the car to keep it in tip top shape. So until someone tells me different and introduces me to one I haven't tried this is the one for me.

I can’t believe how effective this stuff is. I was having to wash my car every 2-4 weeks as basically everything sticks to it.I washed and waxed with great products, it looked amazing but one little bit of rain or just a few dusty days and the car is caked again.Now however after washing and applying this, the car just doesn’t get dirty anymore.After any rain the car looks like I’ve washed it again. It’s amazing. Never expected it to be this effective. Highly highly recommend!Very easy to apply as well and leaves no streaks. Super cheap too. Excellent product

Good product although the labels are foreign but if you know how to use a quick detailed you will be fine there is better products on the market but definitely this is worth the money if you need it for easy of use and smoothness. It leaves a nice shine

I cant comment yet on longevity as just received. Try and watch video of this product on YouTube. Other comments have said it can streak or have high spots. I used directly on a damp micro fibre towel. Then buffed with a clean MFT. Just a light mist on the towel and a panel at a time. I just smiled when I stepped back to admire my handy work. I have tried similar products and none have made the car look as good. Don't over use, less is more. Apparentlly you can leave it an hour and layer it up. I may try this. I have a black SUV and went round it carefully in only 15 minutes. When I sprayed directly it does take some working but on a damp towel it was easy. Just shake the bottle well as it came separated in the bottle. I tried some water on the bonnet and it sheated straight off. Itarrived quicker than expected. Has a pleasant aroma. I found a good quality MFT best to buff with. I will update if the longevity is an issue but no hardship to reapply if nessacary. Update. I have mixed up on a 1 to 5 ratio with water to use a drying aid after washing. Again making sure I shook the bottle. First impressions were top draw. Gave it a deep shine and repelled water and beaded. Didnt grab the cloth as some people have stated but having layered the Sonax directly on a damp MFT I had no grab on the cloth. Still smiling at my handy work. UPDATE.. Still smiling into August. Religiously my go to drying aid afters service washing the car. Neighbours have commented on the finish and think I have spent hours polishing. Just dilute, apply to wet car and dry with a micro fibre drying towel.

A great product which does what it says on the tin..Brilliant easy to use product giving fantastic results, i would certainly recommend.
