Making an order today and I need a few more dollars to hit the $50 for free shipping. Considering either Sonax High Speed wax or BSD. Or redundant to have both? Any other awesome Sonax products to try other than the wheel cleaner? I'd love to hear people's opinions thanks.

The wax is pretty good, but BSD is amazing. It looks good, easy to apply, lasts and it's super hydrophobic.

Question,

Brilliant Shine Detailer can be used on top of SPN to maintain it?

Here is a how to article I wrote if you decide to go with SPNS
How To Sonax Polymer Net Shield Paint and Wheels (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/91202-how-sonax-polymer-net-shield-paint-wheels.html)

I will also recommend Sonax Polymer Net Shield for protection and topping it with BSD

Thanks for the recommendation.

Also, I have CarPro Reload, would be still recommended to use BSD on top of that?

Thanks

If you're looking for another Sonax product to try, I recommend EX 04-06. It's one of the best polishes I've ever used.

Check out my video review here, I applied High Speed Wax and Brilliant Shine Detailer on opposite sides of the hood and show the difference in the water behavior you'll get:

Here's my video review of BSD by itself:

Overall two great products, BSD is less slick but the durability and water behavior is one of the best on the market right now if you like that kind of feature. High Speed Wax is a great maintenance product for other regular waxes or sealants when you want to keep up on the slickness and beading, but if you want to amp the beading up to another level or you're trying to work something on top of Polymer Net Shield, then BSD is the one to go with.

After seeing your videos I have the following questions since I just purchased those Sonax products today.


If I apply CarPro Reload or SPNS, a wax is needed or recommended on top of that?
And if the case that the wax is applied, will lose the water beading properties from the sealant?
How do you clean your MF after using those sealants?


Thanks!

P.S. your videos are very informative on the products you review, props on that.

Neither of these need anything on top of them, they should work fine for months but it's no fun waiting that long. :xyxthumbs:

After a few weeks with Reload I notice some drop in the beading and I'll either top it back up with another coat of Reload or use something like Ultimate Quik Wax or D156 from Meguiar's. The beading on SPNS is really durable, after about 2-3 months I noticed it dipped slightly. So if I was going to top that with anything, it would be BSD because the chemistry matches. If you try to top SPNS with something like UQW or High Speed Wax, I noticed a slight drop in beading.

Haven't had any trouble with the microfiber after using these sealants. The SPNS doesn't seem to clean easy out of the applicator pad so I make sure that it is my designated pad for applying it, but the microfiber is fine and I'm cleaning them with Micro-Restore in the wash and hand clean my pads with Pinnacle XMT Pad Cleaner.

Thanks for your feedback!

Last question, any tip when doing a waterless or rinseless wash while using SPNS/Reload?

Thanks again for your input.

After reading this thread: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/new-car-care-products/96297-review-how-wolfgang-uber-rinseless-wash.html

I got the impression that Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash could be the ultimate formula for QD spray/Soap :).
