For me nothing beats using BSD as a drying aid after your weekly wash. A squirt or 2 per panel will work wonders. The water on the panel provides just enough dilution to make the application much easier and it leaves my Chrome handles very slick (the only part I really touch on the car anyway). I do it on glass, windscreen and wheels. I've been doing this for 6 months. The car was coated with Fusso Coat back in September and this combo is just fantastic. I really thought about mixing it with Beadmaker, not anymore. Thanks Jon! 🇬🇧

Thanks for doing this Jon and giving your opinion. I found the look given when I combined D&D and BSD on the GF’s car ( blue/green flip paint) was what got me into this a little. I can’t explain it but it just looked different, in a good way. Thanks again

Revisiting this video a year later after trying my own combo (mostly because I had no sealant after polishing and the Sonax BSD was running very low). I had fantastic results with (approx.): 65% Sonax BSD 25% TAC Systems Shinee wax 15% Water I was personally very impressed with the results. Very very slick and glossy surface, and it looks very well protected after a couple of rain showers. I'm going to layer it on a few more times over the next couple of washes and see how long it lasts.

Im not sure I can see any benefit GZA. just being honest. If after applying it the panels had the beadmaker cool silky smooth like glass like feel and the hydrophobidididty of BSD then it might pass the test. just felt a bit like a BSD with a bit of added wierdness with the application.

I agree in principal to your points. However, it seems there's only 1 way to settle this: Get a test hood and partition 1 section for Bead Maker, 1 for BSD, and 1 for the combo of the two. Then perform the gloss test, durability vs cleaner test and and long term test outside. What say you?

Thanks for taking the time to try it out Jon, think your right to just leave the product alone. 👍

I do a Reload as a base coat. Wait a few hours and BSD to top it. And BSD applied every other wash to top it more. Lasts long and Works great!

thx Jon for all your work on this channel ; beadmaker is perfect with 5% Bouncers HSi02 Synthetic Si02 Sealant Concentrate added ; after 1 month on 24/24 7/7 h outdoor daily car , the half hood traited with this combo , beading better than half with beadmaker alone

Another great video John. After watching both your vids on Sonax and Beadmaker I went out and bought both products and have been trying to decide which is best for me. I've decided both are. I'm using Sonax all over my truck while its winter and then switch to Beadmaker during the summer months. As no one gets to see the roof, I'll use Sonax all year round and save the Beadmaker for the pannels that people can see. I've been using the same trick for years, good quality maximum shine waxes where they'll be appreciated and cheaper wax where I need to shed the water and repel the dirt. I don't care about the wax's life as I clean and wax every week - even throughout the winter.

If you put beadmaker on top, you lose the hydrophobic properties of BSD. I would just dilute 1:1 with distilled water or use full strength after a wash and the residual water will be enough to thin it out

Jon I don’t know if you’ve noticed but sonax actually hardens as well! I left a microfiber out once with bsd on it and the next day it felt toasty. BSD is really an impressive “QD”.

I cannot speak highly enough of Bead Maker! I know Sonax makes quite high quality products but Bead Maker truly kicks ass. Had some recent snow and the ensuing salt that comes with it and was still able to just pour a cup of water over the tailgate of my wagon and have all the salt and grime wash straight off even after drying over night in the garage!

@memyself4682

bharvey2010 did it just get the heavy salt off,or did it still haze up after it dried?

I really like BSD. When I’ve not washed the car with a DI vessel. I like to use BSD when drying the car. Spray it on the microfibre and wipe off the water. Works great, feels slightly less grabby because of the water and is relatively easy to buff off.

I have two bottles of BSD. One neat and one mixed with BH Auto QD. The mix does feel slicker than BSD on its own and it still displays the water behaviour. I’m sure BSD has been a huge success for Sonax but with how often the grabbyness is mentioned, I’m sure Sonax could tweet it to be slicker quite easily. I suppose to get the best out of BSD plus Beadmaker, apply BSD and top with Beadmaker.

It seems like everyone else, I was hoping that he would, apply one product over the other. However still love your videos and time put into them.

I don't mind using these spray detailers that often they are quick and easy. Thus, I think that its better sacrificing longevity and some hydrophobic properties for finish and gloss when you can just top it up in X amount of time. Unless you won't be able to wash your car for extended periods of time (like winter when the hose freezes). Things like Fusso coat are the closest to best of both worlds but it lacks gloss and application is definitely "harder".

change the percentage,and you have a brilliant combination. 35% BSD+ 65% Beadmaker.

i agree. I do 50:50 distiled water bsd coctail

2 parts Wolfgang's Waterless Wash (diluted from their rinseless wash product) with 1 part Megs Xpress Spray Wax: I really love my hybrid waterless wash/detail spray that I use by combining these two products. The Wolfgang product does not have a protection component, so I thought I would try adding it myself :) I've been using this mixed combo for 2 years with great results. I'm sure you can play with different similar combos until your bankrupt (like I'd be interested in using Beadmaker instead of Megs Xpress), but I know the hybrid I've been using works great. The Xpress Wax can be purchased by the gallon and you can dilute Wolf's Rinselss Wash to create a gallon, so both products are very reasonably priced at these volumes. For such ease of application, it is effective at cleaning the paint surface, adding very good slickness and gloss, and provides a protective topper to my Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax.

Thanks Jon another good video 👍🏻

Great review master john.. I always used bsd before wax/sealant .. I let bsd cured 1 or 2 hours before applying wax.. (Indonesia Detailing Enthusiast)🙏🏻✌🏻

BSD Vs Elixir! :D great vid!

Hi Jon, I do agree what you are saying about mixing products. I have tried mixing ONR wash & wax with hyper seal and it separates. I do not think mixing makes much difference than using it separately. You will get the full effect by using on its own. Just a question not regarding this topic. I do not have a pressure washer but I do have a foam gun using the garden hose. Do you think doing a foam pre-wash is better than just doing a pre-spray using a pre-wash chemical? I think by using a foam gun, the bubbles are just not densely packed and just run off quickly to make any difference. I am not looking for sexy but just want the most efficient. Thanks Jon

Hey Jon, brilliant content as always! Have you tested Finish Kare 425? would really value your opinion...

I've been using BSD since it first appeared and keep reaching for it every time , it's become a regular in my wash routine , occasionally I'll use my next go to QD which is Finishkare fk#425 . I've mixed BSD but realised it's more effective on its own .

Ok Dave I just come back to the subject of sonax Bsd applied sonax netshield first week of October after a proper monstrous prep detail Iron clay slight Polish IPA Bath then on the first week of January properly wash the car and used bsd because we all know what is coming bloody salt I hate the stuff I must admit I did slightly water it down with distilled water wholelot 1L sprayed on the bodywork and wiped and buffed with a hand microfiber the results were amazing I've heard about this before and I couldn't believe my own eyes what a great combination sonax all the way the detail spray is fantastic it rejuvenated the properties of the original polymer net shield but I'm not sure about mixing both products surely each product stands alone

I applied Bead Maker on top of BSD with good results. The incredible hydrophobicity of BSD was still very apparent through the Bead Maker which surprised me, even after a 2nd coat. But the massive gloss boost from BM was also very noticeable. The slip from BM when applied over BSD was approximately 60-70% of BM as a standalone. Also worth mentioning that BSD works well in the Aurobright 500ml HD trigger sprays! A firm squirt gives a lovely mist, 5 spray bottles for about £10. AngelWax QED also works well with BSD mixed 50/50 👍 Keep up the good work Jon.

Pukey Brown - Gotta add that to the pantone set!

Curious, could you not just apply the Sonax and then go back over the car with Beamaker to get the slickness? Or would that just cover and negate the beading power of the Sonax? I assume you can never get the slickness of Beadmaker and the beading of Sonax specifically because it's the drippiness of the Sonax that makes it possible to get the extreme beads, and the slickness of Beadmaker is what keeps the water from beading very well. But I'm no chemist.

I agree with you Jon.. Does anyone mix their favourite sodas ? it is difficult enough to find out which product will bond well on top of another ! I use Beadmaker as a final step but still trying to figure out if my collinite 845 needs to be applied on a sealant, or not... (I've been using Sonax spray and rinse) it would never occur to me to mix products together. I believe each product has been chemically designed for a particular goal. I am trying to make choices in all this marketing jungle.. I do like beadmaker btw, and also use it as a drying aid now.
