I have enjoyed many of Sonax’s products over the years and continue to use a fair amount of them on a regular basis. \u00a0I did not notice this particular product until I saw it mentioned in another article, so I decided to pick some up since I have been using the same quick detail spray for about a year now and I am always looking to try new things.<\/p>\n

As with most quick detail sprays, Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer<\/a> can be used to remove light dust and contaminates in between regular maintenance washes, however I typically only use quick detail spray immediately after a proper wash to help clean up any remaining water spots\/streaks and to help boost the protection on the paint.<\/p>\n

Before using Brilliant Shine, the vehicle was thoroughly washed and then carefully dried. \u00a0I applied Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer<\/a> by lightly misting it directly onto the surface and then carefully buffing it off with a plush microfiber towel. \u00a0Remember to flip to a clean, dry side of the towel as needed to avoid streaks. \u00a0I prefer to use a thick, ultra plush towel for QD applications.<\/p>\n

I found the product to be extremely easy to apply and remove. \u00a0Only very light pressure was needed and I had zero issues with streaking or smearing.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that, like most quick detail sprays, you do not need to use much product to cover the vehicle. 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

\"ATD<\/p>\n

Several days after applying 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

\"ATD<\/p>\n

The beads were small, tight, uniform, and spherical in shape – all indications of a fantastic layer of protection. \u00a0I’ll never get tired of seeing water bead up like this on a nicely protected surface!
\n\"ATD<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to enhance the gloss and protection on your vehicle, Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer<\/a> is a fantastic option! \u00a0I really enjoyed using this product and was very pleased with the results.<\/p>\n
