Advice from the German community: mix it 1:1 with distilled water. Same performance, little less endurance but better buff of.

[@ldvcbi4317]

Really we can use a 50% water and 50% product and the result is good? Good shine? Good reapalant ? More easy to buff ? Thank you for reply :)

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

Yesss I've been waiting for this. Thanks for listening to your community! This is one of those products that really stood out to me. I applied this to my brother's truck that he never washes and regularly takes it offroad. It's still beading strong since I applied it on Christmas day.

[@apexdetail85]

It is very resilient. 💪

[@remus421]

Applying the product to a microfibre pad is an excellent idea, reduces the amount used by not over-applying.....GREAT tip.

[@fiddycaliber947]

I second this! Hadn't even considered application with that method!

[@jdisdetermined]

You also get more control with consistent application pressure for more complete and even coverage.. 👍👌✌ I would not recommend applying with an application pad on paint that isn't already very clean. The short knap and small contact area don't provide a lot of safety, so check your pads frequently..

[@leonknapp]

This BSD blew my mind when I first used it few years back in terms of gloss and durability. Used it purely as a drying aid and it never streaked. Only reason I stopped using it was because of the neverending flow of new products! Great reminder of what I have sitting dormant in my cupboard. Only thing I didn't really like was that it lacked slickness that other products had.

[@edruiz6364]

I saw this first on Jimbo's Podcast but it took Brian to show the best way to apply it. Well done!

I've been using BSD for a few years now and really can't praise it enough , it's a product that gets used and doesn't end up sitting in the cupboard like some "fad" products , my wife's Landrover has BSD on it and I rate it better than the Fusso that my car has on .Great info as ever Brian .

[@JWL-UK]

BSD is a great topper for Fusso or as a drying aid over Fusso. I've been doing that for over 6 months and the car looks better now than on the day it was fully detailed back in September.

Hey Brian. I got very excited when I saw this video. I knew you would give an honest practical review of BSD. I also do painting in my shop, and not having silicone is a BIG tick for me. I also have diluted it with deionised water, and used it the way you just showed. I'm glad I'm doing the right thing, as it was just to extend the last bit I had in a bottle. Ticks all the boxes for me. A brilliant product. Look forward to your next vid brother. Kev KP Daly Automotive UK

[@ramonmalaya8451]

My daily driver needed protection for the winter. I did the Sonax Polymer Net Shield, Spray & Seal and BSD combination recommended by Brian in another video. Gloss is just as good as a ceramic after the 7 day cure time but without the wait. Can't wait to see how it holds up to our winters.

[@TheMantas1233]

Damn, that sounds like a tough combo. How did the products bonded together in your opinion ? Also seeing your comment was posted 9 months ago, maybe you could give a quick review of how it held up ? Did it meet your expectations ? Thank you !

[@badbackshop]

Brian, you're an alchemist my friend!! Just tried this and it works impeccably! May I suggest to others to use a super plush microfiber towel if the car is really dirty? It really augmented this stuff and safely sucked up the dirt without scratching. Thanks for the incredible ongoing tips!!!!!

[@apexdetail85]

500 gsm or higher.👍🙂

[@BrianW1612]

I really do like BSD and I think, as you highlighted when used as a drying aid or even when spread with a damp cloth it's the perfect all round QD. Using it this way I get no issues with application and the protection is 2+ months with great hydrophobicity. My only issue is the rinseless wash method. For me I wouldn't go near anything other than light dust with BSD, even diluted like this. It just doesn't have enough lubricity for me and used on that amount of dirt I personally don't believe it would clean the paint safely. Only my thoughts Brian and not saying I am right.

[@apexdetail85]

Hey...I appreciate and look forward to your thoughts...mayb you are right. It has worked brilliantly here so far.🙂👍

Way to viscous at full strength.🙂

[@fnagdungdagint]

I imagine this would work well on top of Poorboys black hole. Long lasting and easily maintained gloss, with no clearcoat reduction. Definetly something I’d like to try out. It would be great to see a comparison test on Sonax BSD and Turtlewax seal n shine.

Brian, Big thanks for all the great tips for product use as you always do in your video's. I always check in with your Apex channel for lots of helpful reviews.

[@andrewcrouch30]

Btw, you can pick up BSD here in the uk for around £8 so is real value for money when compared to something like Bead Maker at £12..

[@apexdetail85]

That is a steal!👍

[@steverabbits]

Just got mine on eBay for £8.47 delivered to my door! 👍

[@JWL-UK]

Loving to see some new content showcasing BSD's outstanding qualities. Sonax keeps it honest price-wise, even after so many years of being such a popular product. Unless the car is really dirty, I just power wash it and use BSD as a drying aid. The foundation sealant I have down is Fusso Coat and both products work super well together. I love seeing the beading and crazy sheeting when the car is in movement. It works great on glass/windshield and wheels too. Better still, you can buy it online in the UK for under £7 from Euro Car Parts. Great job, Brian!

[@ApEsXiT]

JWL I use it over fusso as well. It performs better than megs hcw as a fusso topper.

[@hdmuzzillo]

Trying tu understand why BSD is recommended as Fusso topper, wouldnt be better just fusso? whats BSD ads to the mix? Thanks in advance!

[@JWL-UK]

@@hdmuzzillo it works as a sacrificial layer to prolong the life of Fusso Coat. They chemically match very well so you get the same water behaviour for longer. Bear in mind I don't use soap at all. I just spray APC (Surfex HD), rinse and use BSD diluted for my contact rinseless wash process for its cleaning ability. If use use the 2 bucket method, I'd suggest using BSD once very 2 or 3 months over Fusso Coat.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Hmmm Brian, I never thought to cut this for drying aid purposes. I’ll give it a try!! Btw, that filling was impressive! Had no idea this could fill in so much. Definitely brought that panel up to life, even though I don’t protect without correcting, it’s still interesting and impressive.

[@apexdetail85]

I dont either...but for those who cant...it may help.

GREAT VIDEO 👍 Thanks a lot for idea 3:1 with BSD Sonax - IT'S WORKING 👏👍

[@LonestarPaul]

I usually do my waterless clean on my ceramic-coated car with Meg's UQD but I ran out of it yesterday eveniing and used BSD. as I had some laying around. I does lubricate a lot less than UQD which means application was not the easiest. The "glide" feeling (when you let your fingers run over the uber-smooth, cleaned surface) once the job is a lot less present too. It is very viscous for sure., I didn't think about diluting it maybe that would have helped. Thanks for sharing some of your tips.

[@alexhs899]

I like your video. In the end i think you make waterless wash, not rinsless wash. In the dillution rate 3 to 1 with water would it better to add in 1 liter bottle spray and 20ml ONR or Ech2o for more lubrication? Thank you for your time

[@andrewcrouch30]

Another great video Brian. Have been using BSD for some time now and full agree with you comments. It does a very good job through the uk winter months. I also mix sometimes with Bouncers “Done and Dusted”😀.

[@SnakeDoctor5104]

Sonax Polymer Net Shield would be your base layer/sealant. BSD would be used to maintain it, as they have the same chemistry and amazing hydrophobics.

I used my little "Metrovac blaster sidekick" and the water sheeted and blew off effortlessly in a very short time! I was really impressed with the Sonax Spray and Seal! I've heard that the Spray and Seal can last anywhere from 1-2 months and if you layer it everytime you wash it will obviously longer and extend the shine and gloss!

Un ottimo prodotto, molti hanno problemi di stesura, perchè viene usato un panno microfibra che rende la superficie appiccicosa, io personalmente ho risolto il problema, usare una spugnetta tipo come quella che viene usata per il rivestimento nano ceramico. Procedere a piccole zone per volta, il prodotto deve essere spuzzato direttamente sulla spugnetta, ne basta poco e steso sula superficie incrociando le direzioni di stesura, senza farlo asciugare, a questo punto di certo abbiamo bisogno di 2 panni in microfibra, uno che assorbe parte del prodotto e l'altro che rifinisce e lucida. Il primo panno in microfibra dopo averlo usato per 4-5 volte si notera' subito molto umido, sostituirlo ogni volta' che sara' cosi'.
