    SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer Cleaning Ablity Review

    Following my other thread using SONAX Insect Remover I used SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer for the rest of the vehicle, and the dirtiest part was the rear of the vehicle shown here:













    This car was probably a little too dirty to clean with a quick detailer, but the owner just wanted to clean it up really fast before his grandparents got the car back. I thought this would be the perfect product since it also leaves pretty good protection and water beading as well. Here is a video of the water beading that the SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer provides:





    Here are the after shots:











    I was amazed at how well the SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer cleaned, it was like using a waterless wash. I just sprayed on and wiped off, the dirt and grime didn`t stand a chance! There was also no haziness left behind which some products do leave. The rest of the car was just as easy to clean, but I didn`t have time to get pictures of the rest of the car since it started raining when I was almost finished.

    Cool !!

    Can it go over a coating?

    Did you use it as a drying agent? How`d it do?
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Nice job, guess that`s why it`s called a "detailer".

    Yes, you can use it over a coating, it does have its own beading so it may have different beading properties than a coating, but water just rolls right off of the quick detailer. I have used it as a drying agent at home (works very well). I bought a bottle for myself at home and it`s the only detailer I use on all of my vehicles, I really like the product.

    I`ve used it on my dad`s black Honda Element in the driveway last weekend and I had no hazing/smudging issues. The paint was crystal clear.

    BSD is like a QD on steroids and beading/sheeting that would put many top of the shelf products to shame. The car also stays cleaner for longer and even after rain stays cleaners and presents gloss.
    I have mixed it with CGv7(1:1) and the outcome was very slick.
    The best, I mixed it with reload 2014v2 and water (1:1:1) and it produced excellent gloss maintaining top quality water behaviour. This has been my goto drying aid these days.
