Only a couple of sprays are needed to cover an entire panel and using excess product may create streaks. \u00a0After application, the surface was smooth and very glossy!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ATD | Sonax Brilliant Shine Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5541\/10344853814_a9285ed537_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Several days after applying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Sonax-M49\/Brilliant-Shine-Detailer-P606\/\">Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer<\/a>, this car sat out in a pretty good rain storm. \u00a0I went out to examine the beading action, and was pleasantly surprised. \u00a0Even though the vehicle already had a good layer of protection, which beaded nicely on its own, I noticed even better beading and sheeting when it was topped with Brilliant Shine Detail Spray.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ATD | Sonax Brilliant Shine Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3791\/10344852964_8c9258c8b9_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The beads were small, tight, uniform, and spherical in shape &#8211; all indications of a fantastic layer of protection. \u00a0I&#8217;ll never get tired of seeing water bead up like this on a nicely protected surface!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ATD | Sonax Brilliant Shine Review\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3701\/10344864466_837364f7b3_b.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a quick and easy way to enhance the gloss and protection on your vehicle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Sonax-M49\/Brilliant-Shine-Detailer-P606\/\">Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer<\/a> is a fantastic option! \u00a0I really enjoyed using this product and was very pleased with the results.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach McGovern of Attention To Detailing Peoria highlights why his quick detailer of choice is the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":12822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,42],"tags":[1130,499,476,770],"class_list":{"0":"post-12042","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-product-reviews","8":"category-quick-detailers","9":"tag-brilliant-shine-detailer","10":"tag-protection-2","11":"tag-quick-detailer","12":"tag-sonax"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/10344853814_a9285ed537_b.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-38e","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12042"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13046,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12042\/revisions\/13046"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
