Finally sub’d. You earned it. You and Brian from Apex Detail are my guides through the hundreds of products out there.

Sonax BSD is a tremendous product. I get close to 2 months protection spraying over existing LSPs laid down on my car and never have a problem with streaking, in spite of the harder water source my home has access to. Self-cleaning abilities of BSD are also phenomenal.

A very common product here in Germany. The most use it diluted 1:1 with destilled watet.- less streaking. Let it cure for a couple hours you will struggle to get it off..greets from Germany. .like your channel much..🖒

I’ve been using this product for years, I swear it’s the best product I’ve used, detailer or wax. It’s very durable and easy to use.

I’ve been using this in the uk for a couple of years now and to be honest, it’s all I use for protection after every wash. As you mentioned, I spray it on a wet car and then dry. Love this stuff. Think you should test more Sonax products. Great video.

AWESOME product especially for a quick spritz in winter when you want quick powerfull protection. Best to think of it of a sealant though rather than a quick detailer

A good & very thorough review - I went and bought some today. Many thanks.......all the way from London !

i like the idea of using it as a drying aid, many thanks!

Yes brother, been waiting for this one. Just brought it but not used it yet

As a DIY person who washes my truck 2 times a week, I have used it in the past and did not like the thickness. I will try it again and dilute it down. I have been happy with the results the Nanoskin and the Meguiars hybrid cera wax. Thanks for another good video👍🏻

Congrats on,16 k Subs, been watching since the early days with Darren.

Im a mobile detailer in the UK. I use Sonax BSD as a sealant under Collinite 845. Ive never had streaking problem.

Been using this product for 7, 8 years now and newer looked back. I ditched all my waxes and sealants. Best results i got was deluting bsd with ch v7 but i allso just do it with wather. Used it as standalone product. By far the best product for people that does not want to spend hours on car cleaning and protecting. Been use it on my bike, fridge in the kitchen .... 😬

Thanks for not bashing it and making 400 videos about it complaining. Keep up the great work.

another great comparison and product review jimbo.

if someone will force me to stay with only 2 products of car detailing, I will choose Optimum no Rinse and Sonax BSD - big hydrophobic and longevity. Negatives: no slickness and not very glossy. Nice videos! Like the channel! (sorry for english)

Maybe try out Sonax Spray & Seal?

A lot of guys are mixing Sonax BSD with CH hybrid 07 - 50/50. So maybe you can try that next and give us some recomendations

Gonna pick this up today and try it as a waterless wash 3to1. If it works well, and adds a minimal amount of protection then it’s a great bargain considering you’re not gonna find a waterless concentrate from anyone else at the local auto parts store. Plus, I want it to protect, but not long term so that if I do a customers car I can still up sell them on a spray wax/sealant topper. Thanks Jimbo!

Thx for this review and Yes it is !!! Been using PBW Natty's Blue, CG Jetseal, Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax, none of them come close in terms of durability. BSD gives me with ease 4-6 weeks of protection. I spray one microfiber cloth with bsd (keep it damp) another one to buff off immediately. Only con i have with bsd, it feels somehow grabby in comparison with other sealant/waxes....but what shine, beading and sheeting. If you don't like the grabby feeling, you could try to dillute it with detailer like pbw Spray & Wipe.

I use Sonax Spray and Seal ( not as detail spray ). Great produkt. Would love to see a torture test on that one. Best regards Kenneth F. Norway😊

I’ve been using this product over the years and I never had any issues with the streaking

In real world scenarios, I use seal and shine as my base sealant. And then Brilliant shine detailer as a topper. Use it as a drying aid. It lasts me a good 2 months on its own. And make my seal and shine last for 5-6 months if I top monthly

⚠️ Many thanks for your amazing videos, and I have a question... Can this product be applied as engine bay and underneath the car to protect it as well❓

Great review jimbo, and nice B roll. You're stepping up your production!

Welcome to the party and thanks for the vid. in the UK we can get it for like 7 pound I use it for everything. Works on dash's, trim, paint, windows, your hair, cereal anything you like. 😁. I think it's probably one of the best hydrophobic sealant I've used, beads water like crazy.

half sonax half detail spray of choice works great

looking foward to the blower test!!! 😁

Sonax bsd is awesome. Love this stuff, way more than just a detailer

Bit late to the party but I used this today for the first time seems great so far 👍

You can dilute it 1:1 with distilled water, the user handling gets better while you still keep the qualities of the pure product and get twice the volume 😁

I have been using Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer and P&S Bead Maker for awhile. Once I use up the Sonax up I think I will just use Bead maker. Sonax is not bad but it just doesn't give you that wow facter Beadmaker does. I can't say how long it lasts as I wash my cars to often but the shine is average, and I don't think its any better than others I have used like Meguirs Spray Wax and Fast Finish and Griots Final Detail. These are all good and this Sonax and Net Shield are right with them but not any better. Just my weekend detailers opinion.

This and seal and shine are the best! I use Turtle Wax seal and shine then BSD as a topper

Hi Jimbo, do you think I could use it as a refresh for a ceramic coating? Yesterday, I applied cermamic coating on my Hyundai and after washing I would like to renew it always...

On the UK detailing forums we have tested Sonax BSD by doing a 50:50 mix with other details sprays. I think some has used Sonax BSD with beadmaker and other used Adams...both great combo's. Sonax BSD is just an awesome product.

Jimbo. Can you do a showdown? Sonax vs Nanoshock vs TW Ice? I know you have all 3. Thanks!

Never thought of the dilution idea, but did try putting it in the fridge to increase its work ability time for those hot summer maint. detail jobs.

Application on dry surface gives the best beading and sheeting.

Nice video brother. I have applied a coat of Turtle wax ceramic + garphene Paste wax on my vehicle.I have a query that can i use SONAX BSD on top of the wax and is that a good idea as in will it act as a LSP thereby increasing the intervel beween waxing application .Are there any issues you see with that approach?

Hi buddy!! Should u apply 2 layers of the product buff off after NOT DILUTED! Then tested!! Same with meguiars! Base coat and then maintenance one?? Thanks 👍

Still this prices out close to Mequiars Fast Finish and yet is a very nice product. Assuming we use it full strength and not dilute as you suggested!

Great product. Easy to use. But grabby feel left on the panel. Tends to last about two months in my enviroment

I bought it, used it once, streaked so much that I got rid of it! no more QD on my car except Bead Maker!

Yes

Mix it 50/50 with Adams Detail spray, been doing this for a while now. My experience is that You get the best of both. Gloss and slickness of Adams and crazy beading/sheeting of BSD. Also the mix gets mostly Adams application and flashing characteristics so helps application also. (allthough I dont find BSD hard to apply, I think its down to understanding what it is and how to handle). You can dilute BSD 50/50 with water without any noticable effect on performance and durability. (been tested to death by myself and others) I suppose You can mix it into other products also to infuse the hydrophobic effect. I know its been mixed with Bouncers done & dusted detailer also with perfect results.

Good job jimbo tfs buddy

Tried it over a coated car and didnt work so well. Just pushed the product around so I just removed it and used beadmaker. Have you ever tried it over a coating?

Is something better than BSD if i'm looking for detail spray that is extremely slick and hydrophobic? I'm using leaf blower to dry my car and i'm looking for fastest "drying experience".

I mix this 1:3 with water and spray over the car when its still wet after a wash. Work a treat, no streaking and still leaves a brilliant finish

Jimbo, I ran out of clear on my test hood as well. We should both repaint! Anyhow, as far as prep for each test, you should polish every time, use a panel wipe, then apply product.

Greetings, Jimbo. Quick question: Would it be better to apply 1 product first as a base coat and give time to cure and then apply the 2nd product as a topper? Vs mixing them all together? If yes, which would you apply first as a base? (BSD/BM) Marco here, from the Philippines big fan of your channel! Cheers mate!

I like using bead maker. Has not let me down in years.

Can I put sonax bsd on ceramic coated car for extra gloss. My concern is bsd does not contain sio2.

Welcome to the dark side Jimbo! In all honesty though, I think it should have been left alone for a couple of hours just to give it a fair chance to bond to the paint a bit. I use it as a drying aid most of the time and as a quick spray sealant over Fusso Coat once a month. Doing a quick maintenance wash is a pleasure with this combo. BSD is the sort of stuff you want to buy and just give it away to people passing by 😁👍🇬🇧

This is a favorite of mine but it kills my towels afterwards

Hi Jimbo, this product is amazing. What is the tree reflexion from the door? One looks like a palm tree is the other one a gum tree?

Whats The best Dilution for Sonax BSD for no streaking with till top performance?

Yes, Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer ist The VERY Best Detailer ever, mixed 1:1 with water is the same result . Best result off all is Sonax Netshield and 24 Hours after this detailer - crazy result for a long time ( sorry for bad englisch - german )

I have been using the Sonex BSD for 3 years....... when beadmaker came out and drop the price on BSD by 20% which made me as a user very happy. So shout out to p&s

What do you think about sonax sealant. Then using this product. And if you can make a video on that, when they are combined :) i have it both, and i love the combo. Rly good protection rly nice shine. Done with waxing the car :) never again. Also it lats 6 months paint sealant, this detailer i do once every 2nd was. When im drying the car :) superb wather repelant combo :)

Gotta say generally I'm not a big fan of USA KZfaq detailing channels but you are good mate, very good. Subscribed! When using BSD on an already dry car try applying it to a damp well wrung out microfibre towel THEN applying to the panel. Less grabby without diminishing the result.

Jimbo. Try their high speed wax.

sonax BSD VS turtlewax ice seal N shine?????

In a dry desert climate, this attracts an insane amount of dust(as does PNS). I think it would excel in a more humid/rainy environment.

Good vid. Still have this but it now sits on the shelf. It does have great enhancement, sheets well, beads nicely, excellent gloss, but the surface of the panel is left grabby. It’s is for this reason why I don’t use it anymore. This is a personal preference of mine and I don’t knock Sonax because it is a good product. I think I did a post about this product on either my FB or Insta page but I didn’t go into the depth you did. Nice review! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

Hi Jimbo. Can you use BSD on a matte finish car? Or what sealant would you recommend? Ty

Bsd and bead maker are my 2 favourite car detailing products ever. The days of using paste/cream wax is over. Who disagrees ?

I love Sonax BSD. The only problem i have is that its not as slick as i would want, now to remedy that is Mixing it with Bead Maker. The water beading and slickness is incredible

Did you dilute the power clean or is it straight how it comes in the spray bottle?

Could this be mixed with turtle wax ice spray wax?? The combination could be lethal, let me know what you think

Could you maybe use this over something like 845? Awesome video Jimbo. I gotta pick this up soon looks like an extremely underrated product.

It's good that it doesn't have a odor. The car wash soap that they sell does.

So what’s your go to usage for a detail spray? Final wipe down after a detail?

I thought it was the best until I used the spray and seal! BSD is very sticky after applied. Works best if topped with simple spray wax.

Topcoat F11 is about worthless as a protectant. But I think it’s a fantastic quick detailer spray

Try ADBL Synthetic spray wax :) Same hydro, more gloss and slickness :)

Can we get a review of Meguiar's 3 in 1 wax? Thanks

I read somewhere that it is a water down version of Klasse glaze. Have you heard that. You can make it yourself and right now, I can't find where I had the recipe. :-(

Try 100ml bsd and 10ml carpro Ech2o in 250 ml spray bottle, you'll be amaze

What mic do you use for your videos?

Yes. Sonax Spray and Seal Please

Is that what you had curing on the panel?

I’m from the east coast of Australia (Sydney). We are in drought and have water restrictions where we can only use buckets to wash our car. I HATE scratches and swirls on my paint work. My car is over a year old and the paint job is as good as the day I picked it up from the car yard - not a mark on it. How can I clean my car effectively without causing marks on the paintwork? I haven’t been washing my car as often because of my concerns. We have car washes where you do it yourself but the water/suds come out of a fairly stiff brush and I don’t want to put the brush on my car.

hey whats a good drying ad

I mIx this 50/50 with Chemical guys V7. Much easier to work with

Jimbo, Have you tried Finish Kare 425?

How about comparing P&S Bead Maker with the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer?

can i uses this on top or topper for seal and shine?

One thing to say about this product is its extremely sticky but it is brilliant so don't let that put you off.

Yes....yes it is.

The German market currently looks like a Polish product ABDL synthetic spray wax is overtaking the Sonax. Was a Sonax fan for years and I have continued, the ABDL is a little better (lasts longer)

Where did you find the Eagle One Triple Cleaning Foam?

Can we use it on white color Honda civic.??

How you dilute BSD??

hey jimbo which air blower are you using to dry? is it safe for the paint?

plz tell me sonax BSD VS turtle wax SNS!!!!!

This stuff i tuff. I was trying to remove BSD some time ago using caustic prespray foam, then power combination of shampoo and fairy and it was still beading. Then I used 1/10 fairy straight to a glove and it did killed the thing. This is quite a uniqe product.

Is BSD Self-Cleaning lsp?

A detailer & sealant in one bottle - I have to buy this but let me say this, both Jimbo and Pan are driving me to financial ruin and my wife thinks I'm insane. I just imagine what my neighbors are thinking?

Is it mildly acid ? to remove light limescale How much would you suggest to dilute it ?
