As someone that's been in the detail buisness over 13 years, doing on average 10 plus cars a week. That is definitely not how you apply a ceramic spray coating. Applying straight to the paint is why you're getting those results. Not just that , your wasting to much product that way. All it takes is two squirts directly to a microfiber towel and applying in a uniform cross hatch pattern. Immediatly apply/immediatly wipe off.

I'm surprised by how many KZreadrs are having issues or not good results with the Sonax. I use it a lot with my detailing business down here in Florida and on my own personal vehicle's and have had it last a solid 4 months with the brutal heat and rain and maybe 2 maintenance washes on my wife's SUV. Hit it with chemical's all the time on customer vehicle's and it stands up just fine. Maybe the product is just overloaded with chemical residue etc.

Great video. You never fail to make me laugh.

I feel like Sonax would make a great topper for a true ceramic coating. The hydrophobics are stupid and it would be great to apply as maintenance every 4 or so months if you're into that kind of thing. I have Sonax (only the spray coating, not as a topper) applied to my personal car and I'm 3 months in with no signs or wear outside of right behind the tires.

Can you do a test where you compare the same coating, but with different application methods? Eg. Use turtle wax graphene flex wax, split the hood in 3, then do a dry application, a drying aid application, and a rinse off application? And compare durability? For the products that advertise multiple application methods, like flex wax, bead maker...etc. it would be really interesting to see the difference.

Still could be a great topper for a ceramic coating. Chemical resistance is weak but if you have a ceramic underneath then no problem there. Yea I would use them.

Should you use a drying agent such as Bead Maker after washing before applying a sealant such as one of these? Common sense tells me it would interfere with proper adhesion but I don’t know if that’s outweighed by the danger of introducing love marks by drying without a drying agent. Thanks. I love your videos by the way, they’re fun to watch and teach me a ton.

@HawaiiDetailing

Жыл бұрын

Put a sealant on before any drying aid. After it’s applied on subsequent washes apply drying aid each time.

I have been using the Sonax for my car in winter in Finland. It's hard to say what is good for your car, as the conditions in here are so extreme. I mean it's from +5c to -20c in one month. But maybe the Sonax is better than nothing.

Sonax is my favorite as far as hydrophobic properties. No question. But it only lasts me 3-4 months with weekly hand washes. But since it's so easy to re-apply, it's not a problem. It's not slick and not the easiest to get off after application but the hydrophobic are addictive. Nufinish Graphene has similar hydrophobic properties and lasts longer but it's horrific to apply and take off because it's the most grabby product I've ever used. If they could find a way to have the ease of application of seal n shine and ice spray wax with the hydrophobic properties of sonax ceramic spray coating and the longevity af around 5-6 months, they'd have a true winner!

I agree Jay. I prefer a traditional ceramic coating with a routine lighter durability product as a drying aid used after each wash. OG drying aid is my favorite and Beadmaker is my goto #2. I have been wanting to test all the popular longer durability sealants just to see how they are. Some of these may be good for a situation where you can’t wash the car for months and you want a sacrificial layer on top of you ceramic or you don’t have a ceramic coating at all. So far I am liking the KC SO02. I have a bunch more to test so we shall see. Hahaha

Nice, but you have to take in to account that the only important thing is durability to wash. All the other chemical you use, it's not something you want to put on any coated car. Each product reacts different to the exposure to some chemicals, so you might use other company bug remover and it will not hearth the coating at all.

My preference is a true ceramic coating with a very slick lower durability topper coating applied as a drying aid after each wash. This is hands down the best option. You get the best of both worlds. Option 2 would be a very durable spray sealant topped with a low durability topper (drying aid) after each wash. I am searching for the golden goose that does both well and has some real durability.
