Awesome video and review and comparison Sandro! At the moment I have PA High Gloss as a topper on my car with PA Master Sealant on the horizontall panels and Gyeon Wet Coat on the vertical panels. It's a Kia cee'd SW with a silver metallic paint that's usually get the metallic flakes to flush out the depth of the paint. With adding High Gloss as topper this made a huge difference looks wise on my paint. With both getting it to look deep and the metallic flakes to pop which I have not experienced before. Sonax BSD is just a raw performance when it comes to the durability and resistance to the harsher winter environment here in Sweden. It's always amazing that such of a non slick feeling from it and still has that awesome water behavior and self cleaning ability from it. The Bowden's Own Fully Slick WOW that slickness seemed crazy high and those that like to have that feature this must be a favorite for them. Would have been fun to try it out. The Zaino ease of use seemed to be what it excelled in. But not a product I would by. So sad that the PA products has such of a high cost. I got the High Gloss 200ml on a sale for around 40-45USD which was decent. You use so much less of a product with them but still they are high priced products. Sonax BSD I get for 10USD but we are not far from Germany which makes a difference and these prices is with VAT and taxes included which are very high here in Sweden. But the prices is so different depending where we live. Happy New Year mate and take care!

Another winner video Sandro!... Getting ready to install Polish Angel Cosmic V2 on my Black 2018 Chevy Bolt EV today. Was hoping to see the High polish blow away the competition as I have that as well but sure I will be very happy with the results. Stay safe Mate..!

One of the best most In depth reviews I've seen on these sealants, cheers from. 🇨🇦.

Bought Sonax BSD after watching your review over a year ago and I thought I would give some updates. 1. It will leave streaks after you apply it, so get another microfibre towel ready. 2. In my case, I have seen it actually lasted for 7-8 months, but do consider that the car was rarely driven during these lockdown scenarios. 3. Panels that were clayed before applying showed much superior longevity when compared to the non-clayed surfaces. 4. I found that shine is a bit on the colder side. It does not give that typical warm finish of wax. 5. You can dilute it to ratios as high as 4:1 and use it for drying the car. 6. The gloss levels do drop, but the water beading just goes on. 7. BSD has a little bit of UV protection (that's what one of their representatives said). If you want UV-A and UV-B protection then Seal N Shine is definitely a better option. 8. I felt that the mud collecting on the panels from the tyres during the rains has also reduced significantly. That's all for now. Will give more updates in future. Cheers

I appreciate that you go out of your way to try the products we suggest that are not easily available to you. BSD sure seems great but has some cons that need to be considered.

I live in Miami, FL and I’ve been using Sonax for about 2 years and the best way to apply it to my black truck outside is after a wash, don’t dry but spray Sonax on and then dry. 👌🏻 Don’t put on your windshield it will cause your wipers to be super grippy. Thanks for the review!

Hey! Great video. Used Sonax BSD for the last two years on my car. Really easy to use and impressive results. Recently moved onto Polish Angel Master Sealant and Rapidwaxx instead, only because I was looking for a slicker feel.

Nice job on video, both composition and commentary. It may seem nit picky but the way you spray on the water is much more conducive to being able to judge the product response. Some guys just keep splashing & splashing, not allowing time to see actual reaction. Good work. Thanks for taking the time to do this and share your opinion.

Been using zaino and was considering polish angel or somax bsd. Given Bowdens seems to be Australian, this pretty much hits the nail on the head for me. Thanks.

I'm using BSD at the moment. It's dirt cheap in the UK. As you say, the beading and durability is incredible, especially for the money. For application, I put it into a misting bottle cut 1:1 with distilled water. This makes it so much nicer to apply and still gives great durability. If applying neat, I do it onto a slightly wet car so it's a drying aid and still gets some dilution.

Brilliant comparison video! Sonax BSD is soooo versatile, you can dilute with water or another detailer like Megs Last Touch to make it slicker without compromising durability or water behaviour. Also, for application, always use a damp towel or pad. Greetings from the UK.

Hey Sandro! Nice line-up. Sonax and Polish Angel are good brands. Cheers Mate!

Thanks Sandro mate, your the best, keep up the great work and all the best for the new year in 2020 i hope you can do a review on the new meguiar's pro series sealants and products, cheers :) 🏎🏎🏎👌✌👍😊

Good video Sandro, is it possible to do a versus between sonax BSD and turtle wax seal and shine regarding durability. Thanks

Do you think these are better then the spay hybrid ceramic ones?

Polishangel are expensive, not very resistance to chemicals but they do looks great and for me the are probably the easiest sealant to apply. Hi gloss is overprices, Rapiswaxx or Carnauba arts are cheaper and looks just as good and yeah, so easy to apply.

BSD from Sonax is really great and has long been the top product in this class for us in Germany But there are 2 serious competitors. Relatively new is ABDL synthetic spray wax which is even better and something completely new. P21 spray sealing (still not officially on the market, preliminary products). This P 21 could even top ABDL and BSD

Good comparison ;) I also just made some videos about the different uses of the Sonax BSD recently (quick detailer, waterless wash, paint sealant).

Sandro, the last videos you made are just amazing, a good boost for this channel, thank you for investing you time to share your knowledge & skill!

hello, Australia how is the weather and the fire ?.want to try Zaino a zaino polish or wax with the spray wax .sonax is wide available but as time move on its more from the internet to order.and in few days 2020

Good comparison. Can you do some vids and analyses on white panels? Also, when a spray makes a black look blacker, does that mean its no good for white panels? How does it make the white look warmer perhaps?

Can you possibly do a current ranking of all the spray sealants you have reviewed? I watch all the videos but it’s hard to tell what ones you like more or preform better from video to video. Or maybe compare the top 4? Thanks!

Hi there thanks for your great videos I enjoy them, I have purchased Bowdens fully slick to use on my new Harley after being talked out of my normal Meguires ultimate detailer which I love using by the guy at shop who informed me I could use Fully Slick to do the same job but I didn’t realise it was a sealant so my question is can it be used in place of a detailing spray. Thanks heaps

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

The main difference is that a sealant will tend to be more durable so you don’t need to use it as often whereas a quick detailer can be used after every wash and even for cleaning up some light marks or dust due to its increased lubrication, whereas a sealant really shouldn’t be used for any light cleaning duties.

BSD is my favourite here. Diluted 1:1 with destilated water. This way, you can apply it easier, you can save more of the product and it doesnt effect the "haltedauer" :D (Holding period?) Greetings from ger

We got my wife a 2022 alfa romeo stelvio 2 weeks ago. On day 1 I did a full chemical and mechanical decon, and applied a coat of Gyeon can coat with a coat of the last coat 2 on top. The depth looked good, but my wife would be willing to sacrifice some depth for shine. If we do 2 coats of High gloss will it last 90 days, and will there be more shine than last coat on top of can coat? Thanks

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

2 жыл бұрын

I would imagine that High Gloss would add some additional shine to the finish, but also understand that car paint can only take and hold onto a certain amount of product layers, and once you go beyond 3 or so layers in general, it’s harder to see improvements, and the last product you apply won’t tend to last as long because it’s being applied further and further away from the actual car paint/clear that it was designed to bond to. There’s no harm in experimenting and laying as much you like, but its really the product that’s applied to the bare paint that will bond the best and last the longest, and everything else is more sacrificial.

For the majority of Aussies it's about accessibility. When you can just walk in to your local supercheap auto and grab a bottle of Bowdens Own then that's the winner.

Brilliant video! But I am surprised that you as a High Gloss user didn't know just how little product you should use. It is still expensive but not nearly that much more than the others when you consider product usage/ consumption

BSD has crazy hydrophobics. Looks amazing in the rain, but how important is that? Water is rejected, but what about anything else? Which protectant property is more likely to reject, or at least more weakly bond to, road grime, bird bombs, tree sap, etc? Which protectant property would you rank as the more important, slickness or hydrophobics?

@CarCraftAutoDetailing

2 жыл бұрын

You can’t always distinguish individual characteristics as being the sole contributor to a particular environmental resistance behaviour, as sometimes it can be a combination. We’ll all still leaning when it comes to why products stay cleaner than others or resist dusting and contamination bonding better than others. I think slickness does help in that case but great hydrophobicity could also be a contributing factor as well as a resistance to chemical etching or deterioration. An interesting thing I’ve found is that simply decontaminating and correcting car paint (without even applying any paint protection) helps the paint avoid more serve UV and environmental deterioration compared to swirled and oxidised uncorrected paint. So just car paint that can reflect light more cleanly and isn’t littered with defects or contamination is actually able to protect itself better even without the aid of a wax sealant or coating. In other words there’s a lot of factors that come to play and can influence how certain products interact, behave and perform.

Would you compare as being on the same level as the likes of meg's ceramic wax or carpro reload?

We are lucky in the UK to be able to get BSD real cheap, thats what I use for summer and seal n shine during the winter, but you guys have Contour products which we cant and they do even better beading than BSD

Maybe it helps in hotter climates to dilute Sonax BSD 1:1 with water, it still performs great but is easier to apply.

Brilliant shine detailer is an awesome product, but yes, its grabby ( almost feels like rubber ) and takes a bit of effort to remove, however if you mix it 50/50 or 1:1 with Meguiar's last touch, its much easier to apply/remove, gives a great shine and the crazy water beading is still there.

Hello Sandro! Apologies for always commenting regarding another video or topic, but I want to make sure you see it! I got the new Flex XCE 10-8 a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to use it the other day. I am *not* an experienced forced rotation user and mainly stick with a 15/21mm random orbital or a rotary for heavy cutting situations. I have a Mille and admittedly never really use it unless I am on a very curvaceous vehicle or trying to finish down on delicate paint (5mm throw Mille) - However I am a bit of a tool whore and the looks and the “new 3401” so I call it got the best of me and I snagged it! Machine is very comfortable ergonomically and the motor is so so smooth - I love that. However, when trying it with some LC Force Hybrid pads (orange, specifically) the walk of the machine was absolutely horrible. I grabbed a regular yellow Rupes foam and it definitely improved my experience, but was still very uncomfortable. I fully understand that forced machines will have a tendency to walk if the pad is not flat and possibly more so if the wrong pad is chosen. I tried the force hybrid because I know they were so renowned for the 3401 but it seemed unusable in my experience with the XCE. I am full time with corrections/coatings/etc and I was going to be worn out after a single panel. What type of pads would you suggest trying to possibly improve my experience? I typically do not use hard foams for cutting, I would use wool or microfiber which may be much more smooth for me on this machine - however I really just bought this machine due to the 8mm throw possibly finishing better on delicate paints and for curvaceous vehicles so as not to have as much issue stalling. I don’t plan on this being my “daily driver” but I guess it could change. Any suggestions? Do you ever use your Mille/3401? I’m trying not to send this back and not to sell my Mille altogether 😂

Car Craft Auto Detailing Thank you kindly for the reply! I will absolutely have to give my Mille another go - I LOVE the blue and yellow wools from Rupes, I have some of the thin yellow/white Mille foam pads that I never really enjoyed but I’ll pull them back out. Very well could be the backing plate size, I didn’t think of that, I just know so many people swapped their 3401 to the smaller 4 7/8” plate (or whichever fraction it was) so they could run 5” pads. Later today I’ll have to give the XCE and Mille another go, both with HDO’s and Mille foam pads to see if I can enjoy them more. I don’t know what could’ve changed, but I could not imagine anyone being able to comfortably use the thick force hybrid pads on this XCE - however everyone loved them on the 3401. So you tend to use/enjoy your Mille more so than any long throw orbital you have?

Slickness is a lack of friction that helps avoid washing and wiping swirls as your mitts and cloths are able to glide over the surface better without marring. People talk a lot about hardness of paint protection products but slickness is just as if not more important in preventing swirls when washing, drying and really touching your paint in any way.

Car Craft Auto Detailing at the end of the day you need a conclusion...PA

You really do get stung when it comes to price.

I wasted money on Zaino when I was new to detailing back in 2012. Never will spend for their garbage again! Their products are just fillers and their technology is over 20 years old. How about release something new in this decade!!!
