SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer 287400 | High-Gloss Quick Detailer | Enhances Paint Shine, Luster & Slickness | Water-Repellent Protection | Waterless Wash | Removes Dust & Light Contaminants | 750ml

I have tried so many quick detailers and spray waxes...in the last few years: Meguir's Gold, Mother's, Car Guys Hybrid, West Coast Custom Detailer Spray, and Turtle Wax Ice are the ones I remember. I like Sonax the best, even though it's hard to find.Yes, people will argue all day over the pros and cons of these different products. I don't have data to back up which one is best; I can go only by my experiences with them. The factors most important to me are: How easy does the product go on and then wipe in (I don't like having to repeatedly rub to make residual streaks or residue go away); how deep is the shine; how smooth/slick a feel does it leave; and how long does the car retain its shine and water-beading. When I consider all of these factors, I have found the Sonax to be the best. While described as a quick detailer, it seems to have properties of a sealant and the water-beading properties are retained longer than the other products, from what I have experienced. My car also seems to retain its waxed look and feel longer. Again, I can't quantify these findings (though I'm sure some folks have tried to test these products). One other thing I like is that the product is a little thicker when sprayed on; this makes for a little more control (less over-spray) when applying it. Some may not like this, though, as you may go through the bottle faster than with a thinner solution.Overall, after what feels like years of trying these different products, I go with Sonax; I think it's the best overall. It's at the more expensive end but I just love the results I get with this product.UPDATE: I'm still using this and still think it's the best overall spray detail. However, I discovered Sonax Netshield which is a synthetic "fiber" sealant that comes in an aerosol spray. I will eventually get around to reviewing it separately but needless to say, it's a very easy to apply sealant that doesn't give a super glossy shine or slickness but DOES really bond to clean paint and will give you about 6 months of protection and lasting hydrophobic properties. When is use the Netshield and then wait a few hours or until the next day and apply the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, I get fantastic results...a very deep gloss, very slick surface, and incredible beading. I've found my go-to combination!

FANTASTIC PRODUCT

I use turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray coating every four months and this sonax once a month to maintain it. sonax bsd has to be the best coating ( detailer-sealant) I've ever tried. It has dust repellency built into it. my black car now keeps dust and light dirt off for a week instead of 2 days with any other product. The shine it provides is outstanding. Don't listen to the negative reviews saying that its not smooth and slick, I don't touch and caress my car on a daily Baises so I could care less about how slick my paint feels (the least you touch your car the less chances there is to scratch it) plus a slick feeling means there might be high levels of silicones in it witch attract dirt and dust and holds on to it because it makes it sticky!. .water repellency it on par with high end ceramic coatings.

It works and beads very well, the whole bottle does not last very long however. The water beading last for very long time (3 weeks at least, then i re applied, so not sure if it's longer). I have compared the water beading capability between turtle wax ICE, Meguiar's ultimate, and lucas speed wax and the longest lasting is the SONAX. beading capability is just a bit better than the lucas oil. if you care about water beading capability this is definitely a choice. 5 stars if it was bit cheaper as for slightly better capability than lucas oil which is about 70% cheaper.

Sonax detailer is thicker than the detailer I was using before. It sprays out in a stream, not a mist. The Sonax sprays on easily, smells like coconuts, and wipe off to a clean shine. It does not really leave the paint feeling slick, only clean and shiny.

if you like to see water beads you will like this product, not a long lasting spray sealant but if you use it after a wash you will be wowed by the water beading this product produces!

What can I say it's sonax..it has to be good.. sonax makes great products and this one is no different. great to spray on a slightly wet car it goes on very thick like a gel and as you're drying it it feels like it leaves a paste wax thickness and shine the only thing is that you will go through this bottle relatively quick but you will absolutely love the sprayer and you'll save the bottle because of it

all sonax products are the best. Nothing compares to this stuff its a little expensive but look at the cost of your cars today!
