Here is a link to a well put together video on one of my hands on training sessions. Hopefully, I can get the shop done in a timely manner to do more of these. Who is interested?🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0bPm5uxtypY.html
Yesss I've been waiting for this. Thanks for listening to your community! This is one of those products that really stood out to me. I applied this to my brother's truck that he never washes and regularly takes it offroad. It's still beading strong since I applied it on Christmas day.
You also get more control with consistent application pressure for more complete and even coverage.. 👍👌✌ I would not recommend applying with an application pad on paint that isn't already very clean. The short knap and small contact area don't provide a lot of safety, so check your pads frequently..
This BSD blew my mind when I first used it few years back in terms of gloss and durability. Used it purely as a drying aid and it never streaked. Only reason I stopped using it was because of the neverending flow of new products! Great reminder of what I have sitting dormant in my cupboard. Only thing I didn't really like was that it lacked slickness that other products had.
Allen Maestas I’ve been using it full strength as a drying aid and switched to Bead Maker, because the Sonax was streaking. I guess if I was using it properly, I wouldn’t have been have troubles with it. This is by far the best detailing channel on RU-vid
Hey Brian. I got very excited when I saw this video. I knew you would give an honest practical review of BSD. I also do painting in my shop, and not having silicone is a BIG tick for me. I also have diluted it with deionised water, and used it the way you just showed. I'm glad I'm doing the right thing, as it was just to extend the last bit I had in a bottle. Ticks all the boxes for me. A brilliant product. Look forward to your next vid brother. Kev KP Daly Automotive UK
My daily driver needed protection for the winter. I did the Sonax Polymer Net Shield, Spray & Seal and BSD combination recommended by Brian in another video. Gloss is just as good as a ceramic after the 7 day cure time but without the wait. Can't wait to see how it holds up to our winters.
Damn, that sounds like a tough combo. How did the products bonded together in your opinion ? Also seeing your comment was posted 9 months ago, maybe you could give a quick review of how it held up ? Did it meet your expectations ? Thank you !
I've been using BSD for a few years now and really can't praise it enough , it's a product that gets used and doesn't end up sitting in the cupboard like some "fad" products , my wife's Landrover has BSD on it and I rate it better than the Fusso that my car has on .Great info as ever Brian .
BSD is a great topper for Fusso or as a drying aid over Fusso. I've been doing that for over 6 months and the car looks better now than on the day it was fully detailed back in September.
Thanks Brian!! I just ordered like 12hrs ago and was looking for the best way to apply and get the best out of it. what a product! thanks again keep up the great content!!
THANK YOU Brian for this one... Been using BSD for a while and diluting it down 3:1 has been allowing me to get a gallon out of a bottle using 32 oz. spray bottles, with about a little under half a bottle of full strength left. Again THANK YOU!🍻
Brian, you're an alchemist my friend!! Just tried this and it works impeccably! May I suggest to others to use a super plush microfiber towel if the car is really dirty? It really augmented this stuff and safely sucked up the dirt without scratching. Thanks for the incredible ongoing tips!!!!!
I really do like BSD and I think, as you highlighted when used as a drying aid or even when spread with a damp cloth it's the perfect all round QD. Using it this way I get no issues with application and the protection is 2+ months with great hydrophobicity. My only issue is the rinseless wash method. For me I wouldn't go near anything other than light dust with BSD, even diluted like this. It just doesn't have enough lubricity for me and used on that amount of dirt I personally don't believe it would clean the paint safely. Only my thoughts Brian and not saying I am right.
I'm glad I found this channel for many reasons but in particular the spraying of the product into a wax applicator to use less. Had I not seen this I would've surely sprayed too much product, thanks Brian😃
I imagine this would work well on top of Poorboys black hole. Long lasting and easily maintained gloss, with no clearcoat reduction. Definetly something I’d like to try out. It would be great to see a comparison test on Sonax BSD and Turtlewax seal n shine.
I mix it 1 to 1 with CG V07 and it goes on easy, no streaking, incredible slickness and shine. Mixes homogeneously and hasn't separated in a several days since mixing a total of 16 oz.. have read also works well with Adam's QD. Wish I could post a photo because the results blew me away
@@apexdetail85 Interestingly, it does not play too well with Beadmaker according to Jon at Forensic Detailing. The successful list seems to be V7, Adams QD and Megs QD.
Hello I use BSD since 3 Years. I mixed it 50\50 with destilated water. Easy to use...the original spray bottle is bad...i use a kwazar 360 a a Foam-pad to apply an a Microfiber towel to buff off... 4 month in a german winter and the beading and sheeting is good, not perfect, since there.. Bad english, i know 😙😉
@@fdu6 How many Kilometers or miles di you drive in one month? The wether, is it hot where you are living? I think round about 2-4 month is realistic. In my car, 4500km in one year, parking in a garage, german weather. 6 month. Absolutly awesome.
Thank you Brian and again well done. I was eagerly waiting for a professional advice on this product because this one is widely available in my country.I wish i had bead maker here.
Hmmm Brian, I never thought to cut this for drying aid purposes. I’ll give it a try!! Btw, that filling was impressive! Had no idea this could fill in so much. Definitely brought that panel up to life, even though I don’t protect without correcting, it’s still interesting and impressive.
Loving to see some new content showcasing BSD's outstanding qualities. Sonax keeps it honest price-wise, even after so many years of being such a popular product. Unless the car is really dirty, I just power wash it and use BSD as a drying aid. The foundation sealant I have down is Fusso Coat and both products work super well together. I love seeing the beading and crazy sheeting when the car is in movement. It works great on glass/windshield and wheels too. Better still, you can buy it online in the UK for under £7 from Euro Car Parts. Great job, Brian!
@@hdmuzzillo it works as a sacrificial layer to prolong the life of Fusso Coat. They chemically match very well so you get the same water behaviour for longer. Bear in mind I don't use soap at all. I just spray APC (Surfex HD), rinse and use BSD diluted for my contact rinseless wash process for its cleaning ability. If use use the 2 bucket method, I'd suggest using BSD once very 2 or 3 months over Fusso Coat.
Brian, Big thanks for all the great tips for product use as you always do in your video's. I always check in with your Apex channel for lots of helpful reviews.
Another great video Brian. Have been using BSD for some time now and full agree with you comments. It does a very good job through the uk winter months. I also mix sometimes with Bouncers “Done and Dusted”😀. You might have seen John over on the FD channel has done a review video on mixing BSD with P&S bead maker...with mixed feelings on the results!,
The Sonax BSD and the Synthetic Spray Wax from Adbl are really the best spray sealants for us in Germany. Use it 1:1 and there is no different to use it pure
I usually do my waterless clean on my ceramic-coated car with Meg's UQD but I ran out of it yesterday eveniing and used BSD. as I had some laying around. I does lubricate a lot less than UQD which means application was not the easiest. The "glide" feeling (when you let your fingers run over the uber-smooth, cleaned surface) once the job is a lot less present too. It is very viscous for sure., I didn't think about diluting it maybe that would have helped. Thanks for sharing some of your tips.
2 questions : 1) Can it be topped over polymer based wax (not sealant or Carnauba wax) ? 2) Can it be topped with a silicon based shiner to get extra gloss without affecting water beading capabilities ?
Hello sir, i am using also this combo ...but i am confused. What are you using as base? The pns or the bsd? Because i am using first the pns and then the bsd .....it is the correct order?
@@marioskosmidhs9454 I wouldn't use it as clay lub since it is sticky. Better use simple shampoo or better waterless wash shampoo. Same price here in Germany BTW.
I would be very intrested in a video with the last topic in this one. About coating and how to treat it afterwards. And maybe a video on Maguire's products. Thank you also for this video very helpful and very Interesting 😊
I use damp microfiber towel with spray wax and quick detailed. Never tried a sonax product. Maquires Ceramic Hybrid...you can make that stuff last a long long time if you damp a pad and apply with a pad.. Not not use the spray water method. Peace Y'all.
@@apexdetail85 Brian! Great video demo of the Sonax BSD! I used the Sonax Spray and Seal on my next door neighbors silver Camry! I did a basic strip wash, no claying and applied the Sonax Spray and Seal and damn if it didn't get great beading and a really nice slick gloss on the Camry! I used my little "Metrovac blaster sidekick" and the water sheeted and blew off effortlessly in a very short time! I was really impressed with the Sonax Spray and Seal! I've heard that the Spray and Seal can last anywhere from 1-2 months and if you layer it everytime you wash it will obviously longer and extend the shine and gloss! What's your take on how the Sonax Spray and Seal stacks up against the BSD! :-) Hey I went by autozone today and picked up a box of the "Astro Grip" 7mil nitrile gloves and they are a very high quality nitrile glove and have the texture surface which is nice to have! These gloves are made by "SAS" safety corporation which is a big industrial supply company! Thanks for the recommendation! They are a tad pricey at $19 for the box of 100 but they are a very high quality glove that you immediately notice and feel when you put them on! I like the bright orange! :-) These are standard inventory for all the Autozones! Mac
God damn, I’ve just ordered the Geyon Wet Coat as per one of your recommendation video and now you give me that tips ?? LOL Now I have to buy this Sonax product to test it out on another familly car.
Apex Detail Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do, I’ve just spend more than 200$ of different product last week to start it up, already have a rotary polisher, electric pressure washer and gaz pressure washer and a few stuff bought last year. A good start I thing
Un ottimo prodotto, molti hanno problemi di stesura, perchè viene usato un panno microfibra che rende la superficie appiccicosa, io personalmente ho risolto il problema, usare una spugnetta tipo come quella che viene usata per il rivestimento nano ceramico. Procedere a piccole zone per volta, il prodotto deve essere spuzzato direttamente sulla spugnetta, ne basta poco e steso sula superficie incrociando le direzioni di stesura, senza farlo asciugare, a questo punto di certo abbiamo bisogno di 2 panni in microfibra, uno che assorbe parte del prodotto e l'altro che rifinisce e lucida. Il primo panno in microfibra dopo averlo usato per 4-5 volte si notera' subito molto umido, sostituirlo ogni volta' che sara' cosi'.
I like your video. In the end i think you make waterless wash, not rinsless wash. In the dillution rate 3 to 1 with water would it better to add in 1 liter bottle spray and 20ml ONR or Ech2o for more lubrication? Thank you for your time
⚠️ 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❓
Hello, Can I use Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer on engine bay and undercarriage... "I know that there are other products for such areas, but is it good to have Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer"
great video @Apex Detail. so, what would you suggest the best underlying base protection for BSD? sealants would be better option but are there some waxes that work great with it ??? and how often to use the BSD, just in case not to overdo it????
Yeah, I mean with the nice weather just around the corner, it would be nice to brush up on some skills with true pros. Just let us know when and where, and I'll be at all of you trainings...as long as I'm not working :(
If it has to be applied with an applicator the 'detailer' or quick detailer aspect goes out of the window. Just bought 5 litres, will see how it goes as it's well reviewed everywhere
@@JWL-UK I have since used the product several times , it is EPIC. I have even applied when the vehicle is slightly wet and just dried the car , then used a full dry microfiber to give a quick buff over. The gloss levels and hydrophobicity are impressive
So Brian right now my SUV has been coated a few times with Mother's cmx ceramic coating. Applying BSD as a gloss enhancer would that affect or remove some of the protection that the cmx affords?? Thanks!
You have a lacquered finish and one is supposed to be worried about water not evaporating quick enough?? So, one should buy another almost identical product and get another cloth saturated in the product it by wiping it off the bodywork almost immediately after application? Surely, with a drying aid you should be expected to spray it and leave!
Hi Brian @Apex Detail. I've use it on the interior and inner glass in few occasions with no problems (for protection purpouses uv/etc.). Have you use it in that manner? Is is interior safe or i am doing it wrong?
