SONAX 287400 Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer, 750 ml

Product Information

I can't comment on durability, as I've n ot had long enough teat this, but I'm confident that it's everything it claims to be. Why did you go with this, because in my opinion The Turtle wax Ice seal and shine is way superior, and with the turtle wax brand launched just a few months ago, availability and price isn't an issue. Free Delivery is not available for Over-Sized parcels, such as Exhausts, Radiators & Headlamps - For details on these items please see the 'Oversized Items' section below.

First, although the instructions do say to wash and leather dry, that last part is not strictly necessary - you can sheet rinse and use this as a "wax it wet" product. This is how I used it today, with two approaches: first, using Sonax's wash and dry shampoo and second, using the same shampoo but rather than do the dry stage (as instructed), I sheet-rinsed. I also do not see this as a product that requires a strict cure period. As soon as I apply it to the paint I can immediately rinse it and notice that amazing water behavior. I have not tested long-term durability at this point. The longest I've had it on the test car was two weeks under intense Florida heat and almost daily rainstorms, and the beading was still outstanding. I'm constantly cycling products for short-term testing, but I plan to also try long-term testing in the future.However this can be achieved by mixing it with other products like v7 but its not available in India. Very economical product, a little really goes a long way and you can literally do an average sized panel in a couple of sprays. The shine left behind by BSD is great. Maybe not quite as good as that left behind by my AngelWax QED, but for the water beading lovers, it's practically untouchable! I've also applied it on the glass of my car and let me advise you to not to do so. The wipers started juddering, whereas the rear wiper wasn't able to wipe the rear glass completely. Note that I've changed my wipers recently so that could also be the cause of the problems. As for the door's glass, it did quite well.

The beads were small, tight, uniform, and spherical in shape – all indications of a fantastic layer of protection. I’ll never get tired of seeing water bead up like this on a nicely protected surface!I found the product to be extremely easy to apply and remove. Only very light pressure was needed and I had zero issues with streaking or smearing.

One capful is 30ml. Four capfuls is 120ml ... and a half, another 15ml = 135ml. That's seven washes from the bottle, so perhaps "value for money" is not that great but, you can omit the final stage (read on) and you could easily get away with three if not two capfuls only for already quite clean cars (again, read on). But with BSD it's different. There is a lot less dust attracted to the paint now, the Jopasu duster doesn't requires more than three passes for the roof(required 4 passes for the Formula 1), and water beading is very good. I was able to dry my complete car with just one microfiber after coming from a drive in the rains whereas, earlier it took me more than three microfibers. To test the durability and longevity I will only do a rinseless wash for the next month or so UNLESS the vehicle gets solied during rains. I had recently tried 2 of their products( Sonax Xtreme Wheel Cleaner,Sonax Xtreme Matt Effect)and was really amazed by the results. You get a litre ... mine also came with only German instruction, but it's pretty simple to figure out.but often too much and unless you hold the bottle about four or five feet from the surface, the spray pattern is not good. That might work out well on top panels, but side panels you're going to waste a lot of product. Solution? Spray onto a folded microfibre towel.

But as soon as I washed it with 3M's car shampoo, the water beading reduced to a great extent. I'm clueless about this. 3M does mention that it is a pH neutral shampoo but cannot find anything which claims that it is safe for wax/sealents. I don't know if other members face similar problems. I think from next time I'll be buying Sonax car shampoo. I have no idea if PNS is even helpful in this usage scenario. If the BSD provides the same protection (albeit, for a shorter period of time), and you wash your car periodically anyway, the after-wash BSD treatment should provide the same protective benefits to the car’s paint. Strangely the comparison was being done with products which are priced almost double than BSD which caught my attention. In my constant endeavour to try different products this time I set my eyes on Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. Systematically pour over the car ... the thin film of water will drain off and dry. Do not do this on hot panels or in sunlight.

Features

It also provides very good protection. The birds poop which would earlier leave a orange coloured spot on the paint (if i cleaned it after a day), was now unable to leave any spot even after sitting on the paint for three days. The trigger bottle isn't great. Once you get to two thirds down the bottle, it is difficult to get the last remains out and it just spits a few droplets at you. However, this is the only thing that does let it down.
