Brilliant Shine Vehicle Detailer

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!

Yes, technology keeps advancing, and chemistry is evolving with it—there are even spray ceramic coatings now. But if we’re talking about overall ease of use, price, and results, I’d say nothing has beaten Sonax Brilliant Shine for years. It’s super easy to apply and wipe off, works on glass, plastic, and of course paint. It lasts through 2, even 3 washes, and while its water beading may not be the absolute best, it’s definitely satisfying. The price is unbeatable, and it smells great too. I’ve been using it for years, tried other spray waxes, but always came back to this one.

Best beading best spray for protection. The liquid is thick but buffs off easy....its the best detail spray since itll last for months on ur car and has the best debeading performance of them all. Applied it to my windshield and my wipers don't judder but if i use my wipers 3 times itll leave a mark then I have to use windshield wipers fluid and it wipes off the mark streak whatever. Works for me even on the windshield and itll be the only detail spray I use and I might try p s beadmaker if this doesn't work good in summer...for some cars it might not work well on windshield but its worth trying especially if u got newer wipers....if ur wipers judder spray on some p s beadmaker slicker spray to fix that

This products adds great hydrophobic properties to the paint where water repels instantly. The amount of gloss and shine it adds is also great. I use it as a rinse aid on a few of my cars everyone a while and it always impresses me ! It's a little bit grabby when applied and doesn't add much smoothness as other products/quick detailers do but it outperforms them in durability

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.

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.

The best car care products you can buy, and there stuff is not even that expensive.

Simple and easy to use. Used to spend hours waxing my cars with paste and other sealants etc. Now after a good wash, I give the car a 15 minute wipe down with this product every 2-3 months. It does last months as it indicates, and the water repellant is great. I can tell when it starts to wear out cuz the water doesn't bead as well, which usually takes about 8 washes. Had my new vehicle maintained with this product for a year now, and there are still no swirlmarks or any imperfections. Car's paint shines like it's new.
