I will always make time for you guys!!
Great video Brian. Where I have found that these "spray and seal" type products absolutely excel are on the hard to protect areas. Your vehicle grille for example. Very difficult to get into all the intricate areas of a grille and apply a wax, sealant, or coating. These type products excel in that area and are an absolute must for your arsenal if you truly want to protect every area of your vehicle. What about waxing your wheel arches? People would say, "nah, you can't do that". Well, yes you can with these and I do. These also excel at protecting plastics and provide a hydrophobic effect on plastics. They are superior for rims also. Most people don't want to take the time to wax their rims. I do coat my rims once a year or so, then use this type product after every wash for a "top up" for the coating. Works BRILLIANTLY in that application. Another often overlooked area is your undercarriage. You wouldn't want to spend a month trying to wax every part of your undercarriage after a good cleaning. Simply spray one of these type products on your entire undercarriage and you have now sealed and protected your undercarriage. Sealing an undercarriage may seem extreme to some but these products are in fact capable of doing it. The two BIG pluses to these type of products are: #1) Ease of application. It doesn't get any easier than spraying the surface liberally, rinse off with a strong stream of water or pressure rinse. DONE #2) SPEED. These products are the absolute fastest way to apply a sealant.......PERIOD. I do find that using a pressure washer yields the very best results but using a garden hose is perfectly acceptable also and provides good results as well. Just use the strongest spray pattern available on your hose. These spray and seal products are a game changer in the world of vehicle detailing and an absolute MUST HAVE product for any person serious about keeping their vehicle fully protected. These products allow you to protect areas you never dreamed possible before, basically allowing you to fully envelope your entire vehicle in a sealant if that is what you wish to do. These products are not going to give you months and months (or longer) of protection. They just aren't. BUT, they are so easy to apply and use, just apply them after every wash, or every other wash, or once a month...whatever....and you will have indefinite protection for your vehicle.
What a great channel !!! I detailed many, many years ago at a caddy dealer. Single stage paint , high speed rotary polishers and very few products available back then. Brian, you truly are a master of your craft ! Thank you for the time and effort you clearly put into these videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
I appreciate the kind words Rick! I love single stage!
Superb reviews ...you raise the bar and make everyone better!!
I try anyways!
I've been playing with a few of these spray and rinse sealants recently. If I level the product with a mitt before rinsing off, the water behaviour is much more even across the whole panel and it seems to improve longevity also.
It baffles me how you are not over a 100,000 subscribers. Amazing video.
He is a bit more advanced than other channels...a turn off to the demographic of 19 year olds that make up the UA-cam audience. I have no doubt...he will top 100k in 9 months.
You guys are making me blush!! I appreciate the kind words my friends.
I just used this product on a new-to-me vehicle that definitely had no protection on it. Very pleased with the results! The effect was immediate while spraying, and it seems to have migrated well to coat the whole panel while rinsing as I feel it even behind the door handle pull for example. I didn't notice any spotting or blotchy effects and I didn't towel dry afterward so that's impressive; it's a white car but I'm sure I'd have noticed on the windows. It was applied in mid-high 30*F so pretty cold and it still worked well. I also found the spray nozzle fine, ensure to keep your arm moving while spraying to help distribute evenly, don't have your arm stationary while pumping, I think that helps. Good initial impression.
Vehicle #2 done, darker paint on this one and I've lost the light so I'm just going to let the water sit, will be interesting to see how it looks in the morning
Another great review! Your reviews are so spot on and don’t waste the viewers’ time. Thanks for the continued excellence in your detailing videos!
I appreciate the kind words...and value your time as much as mine.
Always thinking. The colored water recently was very smart, the permanent marker is genius. Makes a lot of sense.
I am always tweaking testing methods....never satisfied. That benefits you guys.
Brian with all the new (or new to me) spray on sealers is there a reason to say use the more labor intensive like Sonax Net Shield vs this easily spray on rinse off product?
The length you go to in your videos while running a business never ceases to amaze me. Thanks
Actually...the spray and wipe sealants like NS are a bit more durable. I see that when cars return for maintenance
Brian this is awesome, great testing! The marker idea is a gem, this can be used for a lot of different tests to determine an LSP's cleaning ability on the surface. For example, if I put the marker dot down and apply Zymol Titanium on top with a foam applicator, I'm not able to remove this spot even with some good pressure applied. This tells me that Titanium has no cleaning power, whereas if I wax over the same spot with Pinnacle Souveran, I'm able to remove the dot easily underneath of Titanium. And then testing Meguiar's Gold Class paste that they classify as a "polishing" wax, I'm able to remove the marker dot even faster. Put Turtle Wax Ice Spray Detailer on the dot, no effect, put Turtle Wax new Ice Black Polish spray and it's able to remove it as expected.
So you can link this concept to the ongoing question of layering. It can answer the question of "What products should I really be worried about completely ruining the base layer of protection if I apply them on top?" Even Souveran which I would have classified as a pure wax easily has the cleaning ability to work through Titanium and the dot. If you go through all the trouble to polish the paint out and apply a durable sealant, with the intent of topping with a wax to try and get a combination of protection and gloss as many guys are doing, is the wax they're trying to top with truly going to be soft enough to maintain the sealant underneath without destroying it?
Keep up the great work on the videos!
Great video. Really like the whole markers thing. For a spray on, rinse off no buff product, seems damn good to me.
It is truly all in the prep work...you will benefit for whatever effort you put into it.
I found a bit of a trick when applying this stuff but you need a pressure washer with a wide fan nozzle. You basically stand way back and mist the panel you just applied to then slowly get closer to the paint. Then once you see it fully dispersed in the milky white appearance take your nozzle close and blast it off. This just gives it a minute to evenly disperse across the panel before fully rinsing...
Off topic but corrected and finished with a rotary on my car. First time I used the rotary but I watched your videos 10x each on each rotary video you have and took notes and paid extreme attention on em.Thank you so much! I kinda laugh at myself for being so scared of the rotary...
The rotary is the most important tool in my arsenal. It will be for you as well as you master it. Cheers!
@@apexdetail85 100% agree it makes me itch to grab the rotary more then the dual action now. No dual action will replace the rotary no matter how new it is.
I like this method of testing, kudos!!
I have more tweaking to do in the testing...but a cool series is on the way.
@@apexdetail85 Great to hear. I see a lot of beading test these days which are totally not interesting. I want to see durability and gloss levels. Love the simplicity of the 'dot' test, get's you a really good idea how it's holding. Greetings from the Netherlands, Erik.
That was a really useful and interesting test. Great method to use on any sealant. Thanks Brian.
GURU, GURU, GURU! I know you're serious about detaling and modest too... But, it's o.k. my man leave the bragging to us.
No guru here...lol just an old cat sharing some experience! I appreciate the kind words my friend.
Outstanding review!!
Thanks!!
Great test. I've just gotten my second bottle of this, I mainly use it on mates cars I don't see every month. It's good for them as they'll not clean their car till I see them again and it gives impressive beading. I used it on my own car, to top up the sio2 sealant on it. I'd say you'd get two months out of an application if you wash everyweek. The ease of application was what made me get another bottle. This spring I'll go down the route of sonax pns and maybe use this as a topper after a few months.
Two months is what I get here as well.
A very thorough test as always Brian .
Damn-it Brian, you got me again. I wasn't going to watch because I thought just another sealant. You truly evaluated the product. I am so impressed with the ending summary.
I now look forward to the comparison with the other sealants you have demo-ed. ( Meguiars\Mothers\303\... )
Thank you so much!
That is why I do the testing...so you guys dont have to waste money on sub-par products.
Amazing review as always! I was surprised with how quickly water beaded up during the application. Not sure if I’m a fan of the wipe off though - seemed to be streaky at first with high spots. Seemed to hold up well though for what it is like you said!
Yeah...it has some faults...but overall not a bad product.
Big sonax fan here in so cal!
Where do you find the time!!!! thanks for the review
I always find time for you guys!!..and gals!
Very helpful videos, thank you very much for sharing.
Just found you yesterday and I'm already hooked. Subscribed with notifications! What are your thoughts of this sonax product vs the Mothers hybrid ceramic? I have not seen anyone do a side by side. Alot of people recommend either one of these, however I've never seen anyone compare them to each other.
Thanks for what you do!
Great video liked and subbed
Thank you very much for all your efforts! You are a true influencer in car detailing! What do you recommend as QD or Spray Wax/spray sealant for best gloss (few choices) for black/brown colour cars? Tks again !!!
Thanks for the video Brian. I bought two bottles of this stuff last week, my first time trying it. You're the first to note high spots using the product, maybe need a stronger stream of water? Bought it for topping up protection on my parents vehicles when I get up to their place to wash them, and to try on my wheels, undercarriage, roof of my wife's minivan, hopefully it'll work ideally for those.
I thought so as well...but got the same spots using my 3100 psi gas washer.
@@apexdetail85 Good to know, I'll keep an eye out for it, appreciate the feedback
Based on this, I might use this on wheels only. I have 303 Touchless sealant and I might use it on my wife's new CUV as soon as the weather breaks...it will break at some point, right🤔
So of all the spray on rinse off sealants that you’ve tested which ones would you most highly recommend worth investing in? Thanks buddy love your videos
Hi Brian. Great review. Just been looking up the price for it here in the UK. I like to use Carpro Hydro2.
Works in the same sort of way.
I do like Sonax detail spray, as it can be diluted.
Hydro2 is fantastic as well.
I got mine from carparts4less. Look up the part number on eurocarparts and paste it in the search. There's usually a offer code on there too.
another great video again buddy. seems little 2 finicky 4 me.b well good friend 🍻🍻
It's not so bad good friend. Hope all is well.
Nice review, thanks ! I've used it once, I think spray & rinse products are great on honeycomb plastic grilles that are so difficult to detail. Now... at the time, I topped it with Collinite 845. I had no issue, but I am not sure the paint really needs the Sonax sealant if I use this wax. So... do you believe the Sonax spray and rinse is meant to be topped by another product and help it bond to the paint ? or could it be used to top another product ?
I am a fan of beadmaker too as a drying aid... thank you !
Brian, have you tried Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer (commonly called BSD) yet? It's really a spray and wipe sealant that is highly rated and inexpensive.
BigOldDog True, it is a long lasting sealant.
I have and a video will showcase it soon.
Curious about that Ferrari
Carlos Rivera Ferrari..? i saw mercedes
@@haleymuyak8036 the yellow one at the beginning
In for a quick one step as it is sold. I will get it into some vids while it is here.
I would've liked to see the last test wiped down with IPA.
Because as i recall some of these cleaners cling to the surface and hide the characteristics of the protestant, water wouldn't basically wash them out.
In other words, It might've made beads after removing the cleaners residue. did you test it afterwards?
Yeah...I have to clean the panel and prep it for the next test. It was toast in the small areas where I buffed in the Biotech wheel cleaner.
Have a bottle of this stuff waiting for me to use but it's been rain since I got it. I did get 2 bottles of 303 touch less sealant for a killer deal so I ordered those to. Can't wait to see how they compare
You will truly enjoy it....just be on the look out for high spots or streaking.
How did you get a deal? Care to share if some of us can get deals also?
MyYTChannel sorry I would but it has since expired
Such an awesome video. You always make great content. I still have the bottle of Hyrdosilex you gave me. Yet to try it bc I'm trying to get rid of other stuff and make space but I do really appreciate it! You're my favorite UA-camr
Hi. Love your review as always. Just wondering can we do a microfiber application like you showed for meguiars hybrid wax? I want to use this right after ceramic coating like a gloss spray in cc36. Possible ?
I like your music moby 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇷🌎
Thank you for this great video and information. Do you suggest to use this Sonax spray and seal or Autoglym Aqua Wax for protection? There are so many products it is truly confusing for amateurs like me. Thank you again
I understand that...hell...I can barely keep up. I would say this is more durable.
@@apexdetail85 Thank you for your suggestion. My exterior routine will be soap wash, Autoglym Magma, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Autoglym Ultra high definition wax, and uses Sonax Spray and Seal for touch up in regular wash. Hope this information can help others DIYers like me. Cheers
Be very careful not to use when paint is hot or in direct sunlight. It left chemical stains in my clearcoat when I used with plenty of water but I guess it was too hot out and when it rinsed down the sides of my truck from the roof it baked into my paint in streaks. I didnt realize this until the sun hit the truck a certain way and you could see all the stains. Took me awhile to finally get to the correct level in the clearcoat to remove stains.
Id like to see results from a pressure washer since you can use more water at a high psi instead of the high psi mist from the paint sprayer that hardly uses any water.
Hi Brian hope you are well. Boy have I been waiting for this one! After initial application what do you think about diluting this product down to say 1:2 or 1:3 and working it in as a drying aid/weekly topper. As always thanks for all your effort and time
Give it a shot...mayb 1:1
@@apexdetail85 hmmm...thanks Brian
Thank you
Brian! Where did you get your Angelwax Alchemy from??? I can't find a distributor that carries it on the east side. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
detailcentral.com.au/angelwax-alchemy-metal-polish-150g/
Thank you for the info! Definitely not springing 50 bucks for it, but I do appreciate the response! 👍
In your summation your referred to it as a “decent, good product”. To help those of us that’s just driveway Detailers can you incorporate a number system, such as 1 thru 5? Just so we can reference those products to each other when we go to purchase? Thanks for all the good info👍 JMO.
Absolutely...so ...I would give it a 3 out of 5.
Apex Detail thank you! I think it will help us to choose products that you’ve reviewed more wisely👍
Hello. Every time I watch a new video (and thanks for making them) I have more questions. JUst in terms of gloss/shine/wet look and ease of noob application, which do you rank highest: car pro ech2o, tac moonlight or the sonax spray and seal ?
That is an easy one....Moonlight.
I don’t really like the product but it will protect your vehicle from a decent price.✊Thanks
It is a decent wash to wash protectant.
Nice front license plate... Semper Fi owner is doing something right. As for wipe on rinse off not a big fan. I like to wash and force air dry and be done with the wet work. I prefer a cross hatch application for all these sealants, Sio’s. Nice review however.
Detailers Domain posts a lot about this product on their Instagram stories. They use this like crazy and all they do it wash the car, spray it on, rinse, then force dry with a metro vac. Afterwards, they normally follow up with a gloss enhancing "quick detailer" (I'm assuming to remove any residue) so I'm sure if you did force dry, there would still sadly be some residue left. But for how well I've seen it work and how inexpensive the product is, what more could we ask for?
Mother's CMX, Titanium Tio2+Silica Sio2 blend. Spray on/ wipe on, buff to a shine.
D CarrStar IMO Mothers has some very underrated products.
@@dcarrstar7719 CMX is no joke.
@@rwmagnus I agree.
best Produkt of Sonax ist Polymer Netshield and as Detailer Sonax Brilliant Shine after
Could that work as a booster on ceramic maintenance
What is the reason for not liking Silicone in the product ?
Thanks Brian. Do you know if this is more hydrophobic than wet coat?
Wetcoat is more durable...but repelling water is a draw.
With cmx spray coating , which better ?
Brian, have you tested or heard anything about Avalon King Armor Shield IX?
I can't say I have.
What do you have planned for the F355 behind you?
A one step and bumper to bumper clean and protect package.
Did you apply two layers?
Guess everyone’s coming out with ceramic waxes lol
It is true...this is a polymer sealant however.
Apex Detail great video. Love all your content
@@noxxious5.098 Thanks!! I appreciate the kind words...hope the vids help a bit!
Can you use this or ceramic waxes on wheels? I'm asking because this would be getting on the brake discs. Thanks!
You sure can...would not last very long. Those areas reach 1400 degrees.
can we use wet microfiber applicator to apply this product like hybrid ceramic wax that you showed us..
Absolutely....It is the best application methods for most of these product.
Maybe I am old fashioned but I have a hard time thinking these spray and rinse give a good coverage. I am like you Brian I would want to wipe it on with a pad. Another great demonstration Thank you .
@@apexdetail85
Do you still have to blast it after applying that way? Or just wipe off with microfiber towel?
I know what you mean by “milky” water. Happens with wetcoat. Video unrelated question Brian, what dilution do you recommend for cleaning fabric seats with MultiX? Their label has very vague information.
Edit: I’ll try the 1:20 dilution and go from there but would still love to know what has worked for you. Thanks!
interiors....10:1 for lightly soiled. 5:1 for hammered interiors. 20:1 just to freshen up a bit.
Apex Detail Thanks for the reply! Tried it at their recommended 1:20 and didn’t like it. I’ll add some more and try again tomorrow.
can i do this over turtle wax ice spray ?
What’s the glossiest and most durable product you have ever worked with (non-coating product)?
Polish Angel sealants...hands down....the best
Do you might me asking if you make a decent living doing this? I’ve been doing detailing for 3 years now but I’m about to graduate and thinking about opening my own detailing business instead of going to college but I am not sure if I’d make enough money.
Honestly....I have a few other ways to supplement my income to sustain my lifestyle. Here is my email...miragebjs@yahoo.com...it can be done. Reach out and I will give you some details.
Apex Detail thanks a lot!
I applied this to my car a couple months ago , can I wash my car regularly and apply it again ?
Yes you can! If you dont have any other selant or wax, spray and seal will last about 2-3 months. Atleast here in Finland, were winter is pretty rough 😀
I just don't know where a sealant fits in for me. I would much rather go with something sio2 or tio2 that gives more protection and enhance gloss. If I'm going to put the time in to correct and prep why not to spend a few more bucks and get a more durable product. Anyone care to share their opinion?
John Cover I’m a dad with 2 young active kids and a black car. If I can do anything quicker and still protect my car while touching the black paint less I’m all for it! I used this on my wheels so far but not the car yet as the pressure washer is put away for winter. Looking forward to testing this out in the spring.
Yeah...it is subjective. Some go for durability...some for the speed of application...some for gloss...beads...and on and on.
Rebranded car pros hydro2? Same method.
Hydro2 is a silica Sealant...this is polymer. But...hey it wouldnt surprise me if that ever happens.
Sonax is a big deal overseas as well in North America. They have great chemist, make great products of their own. Polishes, wheel cleaners, iron removers, Brilliant Shine detailer, speed wax, etc. to name a few.
Wetcoat is much much better
Why?
