Autoglym Rapid Ceramic Spray Versus Sonax Ceramic Spray Coating

[@barrybij8079]

One thing you might consider in these test is what is in them..meaning sonax's ingredients are not toxic to the user.. so its a safer product to use... not sure on the autoglym side

[@sthochglanz]

Very very right! 👍🏼

[@wanderlustdetailer]

I love a lot of Sonax products for this exact reason! Sure there is igl, but it's ridiculously expensive and not that extravagant! That's coming from a former IGL kenzo certified detailer

[@thesean68]

Hi Jon - I used Gtechniq C2 for a while which I thought was great… however, I experienced terrible water etching on my obsidian black paint on my bonnet in particular and it is still there today even after hitting it hard with H9 Koch Twice…. I ended up dumping the C2 in the bin and will revert to good old wax… I’m fed up of ceramic products.

[@MrDogstarr]

The Sonax was my first venture into an affordable ceramic type spray and I like it, even though my car is dusty the shine still comes through.... have to say that I only have German products on my shelf so either Koch or Sonax.

[@neilbruce9614]

Watched a test on detailing breakdown that had 6 products on the bonnet and it was a 1 month update and what was very apparent was the sonax section was noticeably cleaner than the rest

[@artiny16]

its mean the sonax is the lighter, worst coating?

[@benmulleady7266]

I'm.still not sure I get why beading is so highly valued. I get thst when you drive a wet car the beads fly off but if it sits there and drys then it makes just as much of a mess of the paint as anything else. Surely a sheeting effect that forces water off the panel would be better in both scenarios, stationary and moving car?

[@xlitre13]

By far one of my favourite (not necessarily marketed as ceramic) spray on rinse of products like this is Bilt hamber touch on. Bilt hamber touch on performs really well and is sooooooooo much better value for money if you make your own trigger spray bottles with it

[@pigeonpoo1823]

So you wash and dry your car, then spray this and dry off? What ratio do you use?

[@marcosseijo6609]

Good review John! Bring more staff like this , it’s great

[@yogid21]

You can't go wrong with Autoglym. I've used a lot of brands but I always go for the Autoglym, it's more expensive than others but you'll get the performance you expected.

[@KumarAman091]

Sonax is awesome It lasted me for 8 months

[@masterpolir6145]

Sonax ❤

[@edwinnegron7758]

I have been using Sonax Detailing spray, so far so good. thank you from across the pond

[@Justin-ny6un]

You should take a look at Siramik Lustrous+ Spray, performs like a ceramic coating, seems to have great chemical resistance and water behaviour. I wouldn’t even be bothering with Gyeon MOHs Evo, but I already had it prior to getting the Siramik

[@Vc12383]

Try the Sonax ultra slick detailer. Best on the market hands down.. tried them all.

[@andhen12]

Good test this. Chemical resistant test and real world durability is of course to different things. But I still think autogylm lasts a bit longer. Glad you gave sonax another try as it is a real bead monster. Used both on my car before and both are real solid products. Cheers.

[@MrAarongilbey]

Great review as ever Jon. For now I'll stick with my long standing go-to, which is Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. Might give the new Sonax offering a look when I run out.

[@jcoul1sc]

Dont think the Sonax ceramic is new. BSD is just hard to beat, I can apply in direct sunlight too

[@bridoboy143]

Your review last month was the sonax Brilliant Shine was better than this sonax ceramic new one I am a big fan of the sonax Brilliant Shine it's the best product I have ever used imo

[@mcalpine663]

Great video as always Jon what about Gyeon Q2 ceramic detailer VS the autoglym? I use the Gyeon and think it’s a great product gives a lovely glossy look I feel plus it’s only £17 im sure for 1ltr. 👍

[@berniehf]

Cheer's Jon, believe it or not, I still use Mother's CMX and works pretty well for me, I just love it, my car color is mineral white (BMW X5 G05), which is a great color to hide everything, it always looks clean.

[@michaelkay3451]

I wonder if durability, in terms of real-world conditions, is more affected by UV (sunlight) than chemicals.

[@M.E63]

Haven’t tried the sonax but put the autoglym one on my car before the winter , it’s still on it and performing , I been hammering it alkaline pre washes and auto foam at 5% pir and even chemical guys strip wash shampoo but still can’t get rid of it as I need it gone to polish and ceramic coat my car , will step up to garage therapy decon shampoo to get rid of it , the auto glym is a good product, you can get it for £15 aswell

[@chrisdunn8215]

I've seen halfords do the auto glym ceramic spray for £15 I use this product and I highly recommend it, in my opinion it gives better results than the Maguires ceramic detail spray which I still use cause its a good product 👍

[@oggyoggy1299]

You still use Meguiars even though the other one is better?

[@PastaLaVista.]

Glad you gave the sonar another chance as your first results didn’t match what many others were showing

After watching a few reviews with Autoglym ceramic spray looks like its quite a long lasting product and in combination with the wet finish product would be a long lasting product between applications.

Same result in Hawaii Tesla & detailing channel, Sonax fails the chemical test after the first round. But like Jon mentioned, its got good beadage. Sometimes, that's all you want.

[@audieconrad8995]

Am thinking the Sonax would hold up well during the Hawaiian winters! 🤣 Cheers from Maine...

[@79blustone]

@@audieconrad8995 It didn't stand up to the first test. Sonax has its place- but certainly not on my shelf, not remotely durable

[@audieconrad8995]

@@79blustone ya I gathered that...never used it - and won't! I've found the durability thing for Maine winters has been SEAL&SHINE and the TW Ceramic. Gonna give the FLEX Graphene a go this winter. Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@79blustone]

@@audieconrad8995Something I'd recommend for Maine- I've heard you've had harsh wintere that way- if you watched many of Jons videos on this channel, I recommend Bilt Hamber Touchless snow foam, and I can absolutely highly recommend Bilt Hamber Touch-on shampoo- its got super concentrated ceramic in this and also it gives the paint a super slick finish that feels thick. Plus, you'll never need a sealant afterwards, as it's already sealed, just towel dry and the harsh winters won't touch it! Thats what I use here in the UK with wet and salted roads here- I've tried Gyeon wet coat and a few other sealants and temporary ceramics but they don't last as long as B.H Touch- on shampoo 👌

[@audieconrad8995]

[@tyronelul2687]

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

You should try and test siramik lustrous plus. £40 for 250ml but its basically stopped me using can coat. Doesn't even need any prep!

[@01123581321341]

Nice test Jon - 1 product v 1 product is always cool. Like a bit of Autoglym, they know their stuff. Not tried either but my brother raves about the Autoglym product. I’d pick some up in a sale like you say sure - my go to ceramic spray sealant type thing would Gyeon’s Ceramic Detailer (yer i know it’s a detailer but awesome) or the Autoglanz Prizm. Epic product, very cheap, very easy to apply wet or dry, very high beadage and very durable - what more do you need ?

[@TheEvohtid]

Hi John, great video and channel, love watching the video's very informative. A quick 2 questions just had the car clayed and stage 1 paint correction topped off with titan coatings ULTRA flexible membrane sealant. what Caramic/quick detailer can i use after washing and drying without reducing the life span of the coating? Also i use a lot of bilt hamber stuff (thanks to yourself) what you think of bilt hamber Auto-QD?

[@justinsouthwood7577]

Hope to get some advice please, can you use this on a freshly resprayed panel? Should I avoid this and any wax product for a while? How long? Thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

if the cars been painted just wash it with pure shampoo a few times for say 1-2 months. Then apply protection. thats a sensible thing to do.

[@justinsouthwood7577]

​@@ForensicDetailing Thanks, appreciate the advice.

[@Luke-san]

Now that is a weird result. If you check Scott HD channel you see that it has been holding up extremely well over time.

[@gunnaralamaa199]

If you use bilt hamber prewash products with sonax, then they die really fast. But I use many years prewashes, which gives even better cleaning than BH autofoam or surfex, but not touch sonax beading. It makes even brilliant shine long term lap. Find products, what fits each other and you are over the moon. Takes time but worth it. I like bilt hamber products, but hold them different lsp not sonax products.

Hello, may I ask a question? On my motorcycle, there are old oil stains on the rim of the wheel, on the rear swingarm, and on the frame, from either the chain oil or drops from the chain. What would be the best way to remove them completely? I always do a pre-wash, then wash with car shampoo and a sponge, and dry it off, but these oil drops always remain. Thank you.

[@jactac879]

This may of already been asked ? So, should you only use a ceramic spray such as these in your video on a vehicle that has had a ceramic coating applied ? I'm just about to collect a new car and the dealer has asked if I want the new Autoglym Lifeshine Carbon coating applied for £300, which I believe is a ceramic coating and has taken over from the Auroglym Lifeshine Coating ? As yet I'm not sure whether to have it done or not, basically because I've had so called ceramic coatings applied by dealerships in the past and couldn't really notice any difference, hence asking can a ceramic spray be used on a vehicle that hasnt had a ceramic coating applied, if they can whats the benefit ?

[@ForensicDetailing]

you can apply this on normal cars with no protection. you could also spray it ontop of existing protection (wax sealant or ceramic coating). I would recomend NOT to have it done personally. The less the dealership touches your car the better. some dealerships are great, but In my experience about 90% are bad. Either way, I think you can do it yourself. Autoglym now sell their ceramic coating to the consumer market, its not a true silane resin coating but its a decent sealant. please do not say to the dealership Forensic Detailing said dont get this option when you buy the car, as ive got in to trouble before for giving this advice. Im just of the opinion if you care about your car, the less people that go near it the better you will be.

[@djmandrick]

5:56 as a fan of fast water clearance, it def looks sheet to me. :D

[@Imperialcavalier]

Nice comparison. I think the hidden secret in these spray on coatings is Mothers CMX ceramic spray over the CMX 3 in 1 prep product. It would be interesting to see that against Autoglym!

[@kilner79]

sonax is full of parafin wax and its not long lasting at all also the make up of the parafin wax atracts dirt i notice when you have the grippy surface its due to the make up of the product and has tiny paus on it and these allmost help bond the grime i find a more slick surface stays cleaner longer

[@ForensicDetailing]

do they use parafin wax emulsion in their products? I would be very surprised if they did.
