    Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer - As drying aid

    Decided to try Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer today. As a drying aid.

    Car was left VERY wet, after a quick wash with Poorboys World Slick Suds.




    HOT - HUMID - FL SUN (humidity 87%)





    As I said, I left the car WET. Didn`t sheet, didn`t blow dry first. I wanted to see how it performed and if it left streaks/spots etc. I used a dry me a river WW towel. One towel only !!! Did the windows first to get towel wet, then on to the paint.

    I love Sonax bottles and sprayers, they`re great. It sprayed a nice area and didn`t over spray.. Smells great too.


    End result
















    Final thoughts.

    Is it good - YEP
    Easy to use - YEP
    Leave a nice shine - YEP

    Not sure how slick it is, since it`s so humid, can`t get a good feel.

    Would I buy again = YEP !!!!! (so far after first test)


    Florida tested ,Ron Approved...

    Good job! I am thinking of trying the the new mothers waterless wash and wax out as a drying aid. I am sure it would do one heck of a great job.

    Mothers Waterless Wash & Wax

    I am starting to think any good detail or spray wax can be used as a drying aid. Just some are going to be better at it.

    My drying aid regimen is ONRWW at QD dilution and a few spritzes of OCW on top. Wipes off super easily then lightly buff and I get a streak free finish with the added benefit of OCW all in one step. Curious to try the Sonax but at $17 a bottle, I`d blow through a bottle in 1-2 washes.

    If you`d blow through a bottle in one to two washes, you waste more stuff than I do,,,,

    Having used onrww and aquawax, this stuff is on a different level.

    I haven`t seen beading yet, but probably will later today.

    Thanks for the review Ron! SONAX is definitely one of those brands I`ve never been disappointed with one of their products. Top notch German car care products.

    Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer - As drying aid

    The stuff is good and the beading is sick.

    It`s not super slick, but not grabby either. You only use a little bit - so the bottle lasts forever.

    It`s really spray sealant more than a QD.

    In the winter I`m using either this or HydroMax.

    Was sorta wondering about the slickness.

    Doesn`t feel slick really. That surprised me.

    Haha what`s this beading thing everyone talks about? I used to know of this thing called rain but apparently that`s not something that happens here anymore.

    Re: Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer - As drying aid

    Did you spray a panel at a time or spray it all and then dry it? Looks good btw. I am almost in need of a new drying aid so I will add this to the next order list
