About this deal

The shampoo should get a special merit for being SOOOOO lubricious and the detail some special merit for delivering such astounding beading, but it is let down by the spray head which is perhaps more down to the viscosity of the product than the performance of the spray head which performs perfectly well with the glass cleaner. I can't tip a point off for that so it remains a top scoring product/combination. Very economical product, a little really goes a long way and you can literally do an average sized panel in a couple of sprays.

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.

SONAX Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer 750ml Reviews

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. I had recently tried 2 of their products( Sonax Xtreme Wheel Cleaner,Sonax Xtreme Matt Effect)and was really amazed by the results. So, my running assumption (without any supporting info) is that a single coat of cured PNS—which cannot be layered because the solvent of subsequent coats will simply melt off any previous coats—is the intended usage of the product. Then, supplementing the PNS coating with BSD after washes, and between reapplications of PNS every six months. Purpose of using this product was purely to get the pop effect on white paint and i am satisfied with it.

For my application I diluted it 1:2 (Product : Water) which brought down its viscosity to a level where it can be evenly applied. 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. You get a litre ... mine also came with only German instruction, but it's pretty simple to figure out.

Several days after applying Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, this car sat out in a pretty good rain storm. I went out to examine the beading action, and was pleasantly surprised. Even though the vehicle already had a good layer of protection, which beaded nicely on its own, I noticed even better beading and sheeting when it was topped with Brilliant Shine Detail Spray. 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 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.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.
