I think it's one of the best products you can get, that's how highly I rate it.

[@kevinmcg6747]

I'd agreed with your findings being a user for a number of years. It does grab and can smear but I'm happy to accept that given the protection qualities. It might be worth considering having a more classic QD for the summer months when shine is of most importance but reverting to BSD the other 50 weeks of the year :).

[@SilverShamrock71]

Been using Sonax BSD for years, I actually look forward to rain, as the GTI looks great with the water beaded all over it

[@maynardlavery9258]

Its the polymers. Polymers are grippy but have immense water reppelling properties. Its up there with the best detailers.

[@polopowered]

Been using it for almost 6yrs now. Superb.

[@s4adventures34]

I bought this 2 years ago at waxstock. It's amazing stuff. Another great video Paul 👍

[@hawx7gaming368]

When I explain what bsd is to my mates etc when they get involved with mine and there cars I always say it's a spray sealant. Great product and for the price it's amazing!

[@TheRhodes76]

Awesome Paul, I’ve only recently used this once and loved it and plan to split it in half to use as a drying aid 😀

[@rossmale8715]

Recently put this on top of bilt hamber double speed wax and the water beading and protection for the money is second to none,my favourite product in my garage hands down!!

[@jasonwilson7674]

You can't beat this stuff for the price and performance, I mainly use it in winter 👍🏻

[@JWL-UK]

BSD on top of Fusso Coat is my favourite combo. Throw in some Bouncer's Done and Dusted Si Edition every now and then and the car is guaranteed to glow beyond understanding 😊. BSD is best used as a drying aid or applied with a lightly damp microfibre cloth. During summer I mix 300mls of BSD with 200mils of Maguiars Last Touch detailer that I buy in bulk. It adds more gloss and has good anti-static properties. As I said, Done and Dusted Si Edition on top of BSD is absolutely delightful to use and enjoy the result afterwards.

[@thewilky3030]

Love your channel, I've been using BSD on both my car and bike for over a year now and absolutely love it, cheap and does a fantastic job, nothing else comes close especially for the money

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Stuart Wilkinson bargain Stuart cheers mate 👍🏻

[@alwAudio]

So easy to use and the results are always fantastic. It's also cheap and the bottle is large, so it lasts ages.

[@rhysleonard276]

Agree with all your comments, I’m yet to find something that offers better beading for ease of application. Used to use it all the time for protection top ups but my car has now been ceramic coated so it’s more redundant now.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Paul,good review on this product on this Sonax GB,after seeing this I might invest in some of this and try it out,using on your car its very water beady.

[@fiddycaliber947]

Only recently purchased this and applied to a car i'm about to part-ex, lovely glossy glow on red paint!

[@HENRYHOBBS1]

I find it works best if you use a cross hatch application on the full car, then go round and buff.. Leaves great protection

[@AUTOJAKTALALA]

Most classic QD for me, I Have to make that test too😎🤜🏻🤛🏻✌🏻

[@Jahmed5635]

Glad to see the fabia back after it was stolen! Keep it up mate

[@tazznijjar7111]

Hey Paul I've just got the same deal... ordered yesterday and was delivered today! Apparently people mixing it down with water to resolve streaking issues! I've done 1 50/50 ant the other 2:1 with deionised water!! I've seen people using it as a waterless wash at 3:1.

[@benhook1850]

Great product this. I picked it up for around £7.50. Can be a bit grabby and takes abit of buffing but totally worth it for the price. Does me well for nearly 2 months of protection.

[@JeffersonHumber]

I got mine from the eurocarparts eBay store for £6.51, amazing product, love it!

[@avinstallations]

Today (before watching this video) I purchased one directly from a Euro Car Parts store for £11.49! But you can purchase it from Amazon for £7.49, strangely enough the seller is Euro Car Parts! Buggers

[@markhart6743]

Been using it for years get about 8 wks from it but then I use it every time I wash the car,find it better mixed with something else like done & dusted or argon for ease of application

[@chunky6253]

Great vid, thanks fella. I use BSD then Dreamaker on top. It's a cracking combo.

[@TimBeta36]

You get the best beading en sheeting with application on dry paint. Sure its usable as drying aid, beading and sheeting will be less aggressive.

[@DiiZeh_]

Great review as always, Paul!😎👍🏻 Never used this before but I’ve heard many good things! It looks great!👌🏻 It seems to be like a ‘Hybrid Detailer’ to me 😎

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

OX4SNYPA that’s my line of thinking 🤔👍🏻✊🏻

[@MilesDrive]

great product. 1:1 with DI water works well. Top vid Paul👍

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Miles Drive thanks Andy 👍🏻

[@cameronstevenson5894]

Nice to see you’ll be at waxstock 2019 sticker in the back have mine on my vacuum lol

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Glad someone spotted it yes im there again third year this year come and see me

[@fuckthis81]

I bought this myself a few weeks ago, same price range below £8. I clean cars part time evenings after work and weekends also. I used this and found great water beading effect from it. Would agree about the shine after buffing nothing special but its lasting longer on my customers cars than other detailer shine products. So i think i will continue to use it for now.

[@JWL-UK]

Check out Bouncer's Done and Dusted Si Edition if you want to add crazy levels of gloss as a topper to your LSP or BSD itself. They go super well together.

[@fuckthis81]

@@JWL-UK thanks for the tip mate 👍

[@jt-2286]

Amazing product. Try pulling the trigger faster and it will atomize better and finer, also spray further away. Use this as a drying aid all the time. Brilliant for the winter months. I've diluted some 50/50 with SimpleWax Gloss Enhancer and it's turned out amazing. I apply then wipe, leave for a min or 2 then buff off. Brilliant on glass, not used it on the windscreen.

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Jamie Townsend nice tip Jamie 👍🏻

[@JWL-UK]

Same here, using as a drying aid. Car is coated with Fusso Coat (another bargain!) and I just use pressure washer to clean the car, twice a week, in most weeks and rarely need a shampoo. BSD has very good cleaning capabilities as well so any light dirt gets removed easily during the drying process if it doesn't get washed away with the pressure washer. Tip for application with the car dry: apply on a lightly damp microfibre cloth or pad. It makes a huge difference, spreads more easily. Buff off afterwards as usual.

[@johndoyle7726]

Great stuff for the wow factor, have you used sonax polymer netshield, I've put it on a few cars now it's amazing and much much easier and faster to apply

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Not tried that one John I’ll take a look at that 😉

[@neilhibbert5201]

Hi I have used bsd but I found it needed to diluted 3 to 1 .

[@trippymarv]

This is 100% good stuff.

[@XSR21X]

Pound for pound BSD the best detailer spray for a car !

[@XSR21X]

PS B&M have rolson hosepipe guns for £1.99, and they're not bad

[@ronaldmaxwell4579]

Paul ,liked and subscribed ☺

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Thanks Paul

[@ekialkovic4150]

Applying it with MF pad section by section like coating does wonders!!!! Such a good product, wouldn't give it for anything else on the market!

[@alwAudio]

In the UK check carparts4less, they are related to Euro Car parts, but usually cheaper. The search is broken on their site, so searching Sonax gets no results, but searching the Euro Car Parts order code works. At the moment ECP are £11.49 / bottle, whereas carparts4less are £7.68 / bottle. Search 549992160 to see.

[@wildeheart2996]

It works really well when you water it down, it streaks less and shines more. Best used as a drying agent imo.

[@tibhen8473]

can use on glass?

[@turkimax1]

⚠️ Many thanks for your amazing videos, and I have a question... Can this product be applied as engine bay and underneath the car to protect it as well❓

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

You probably could but I’ve not done it

[@harrym.3703]

Sonax Brilliant Shine is the best , you can use ist with 1:1 water , result is the same

[@harrym.3703]

sorry , the best ist sonax netshield and then after sonax brilliant Shine after 24 Hours

[@AntLive29]

Cheerio mate!

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

R don’t you mean Hello 👋

[@endri15255]

i dont think can last longer,2-3 washes maximum

[@SK-1689]

What is the difference between applying BSD directly on a prepped surface versus applying it on waxed surface (BH DSW or Collinite 845 insulator wax)? Thanks :-)

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

S K all you are doing on a waxed surface is topping up protection in between washes the other waxes you mention may have different longevity levels it will still bond on your stand alone LSP

[@Puddingtops]

If Carlsberg made detailing products they’d make sonax bsd!

[@Audittr2108]

Can’t go wrong with BSD. I’ve got two bottles, one neat and one 50/50 mix with Bilthamber Auto QD for a slicker finish but still great water bevaviour.

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Chris_AudiTTR225 that’s a new one on me may try that 👍🏻

[@Audittr2108]

You’ve got Infinity’s QD, works great mixed with that too.

[@hakman239]

@@Audittr2108 whats it like mixed with rapid detailer?

[@Audittr2108]

hakman239 Not tried that combination.

[@hakman239]

@@Audittr2108 you said you got infinity qd great mixed with that too?

[@sahhull]

Been using it professionally for years as a sealant , my favorite combo is BSD under collinite 845. BSD alone generally lasts 8 to 10 weeks. It is a bit grabby, never had an issue with streaks or smears. My local independent parts retailer sells it for £6.50, tho he cannot get the 5 litre.

[@hakman239]

845 then bsd

[@sahhull]

@@hakman239 You'd think, but try it BSD then Collinite.

[@hakman239]

Northy wouldn’t bond bsd is classed as a quick detailer 845 would last longer then bsd

[@sahhull]

@@hakman239 like I said... Try it, you'll be surprised

[@mrrees7558]

Have you done a review on mirror image products I would highly recommend them to you to try

Not yet i actually follow them on my instagram im sure there will be a review on them at some point

[@SK-1689]

Can the trigger spray head be unscrewed to pour the product into a sprayer bottle with a better trigger spray head?

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

S K yes mate of course 😎

[@SK-1689]

@@PaulDoldenDetails Thanks Paul. Just did it.

[@steverabbits]

Dilute it a bit (50:50 many say) or spray it onto a well wrung out damp microfibre rather than the panel and you will get no grab and no reduction in performance

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

SteveRabbits yes you can dilute it and it makes a good drying aid cheers Steve

[@steverabbits]

Mix it with gtechniq c2v3 for longer protection

Hi Paul help this ole fella out, please. Haven't washed a car in around 30 years. So I'm going to decontaminate and wax my old banger do I use a qd at the end or is it not necessary. Thanks in advance 👍

You can use it at the very end but if your going to wax it there’s probably no need
