I've used that and I eventually settled for the Hybrid Net Protect. It's durability is about the same even though PNS is claimed to be longer.
Hybrid Net Protect is a lot better to apply and not as fussy.
The only thing I would advise against is waterless wash. Unless you're doing it every day with absolute minimum dirt on the car then you will be causing damage by inflicting minor swirl marks and marring. This is caused by the dirt being dragged around the car.
It is far better to wash using a proper lambswool or microfibre wash mitt. Use two buckets. One with clean soapy water and one with clean water.
Dip the mitt in the soapy water & wash the car a panel at a time. After each panel rinse the mitt in the clean water and then repeat. Whenever you rinse the mitt be careful not to touch the bottom of the bucket. I also rinse each panel after washing to stop soap drying on the panel.
Don't worry if you feel the soap isn't causing many suds. As long as you have followed the dilution ratios it's what's in the water that does the work not the amount of suds.
This way you will not inflict any damage to the car.
If you clay the car you should polish it as even the most careful use will cause some damage. Ideally with a machine polisher but by hand is fine.
4 coats of Sonax xtreme brilliant shine detailer (24hrs minimum between each coat) and then you will just need to wash your car with the 2 bucket method for the next 4mths or so.
Oh and don't be put off by the use of the word damage. By this I mean swirling and marring (very fine scratches) and nothing that can't be corrected. Unless you drag a sheet of 40grit sandpaper around the car.
So I tend to wash the roof.... rinse of with the power washer, wash one side at a time..... rinse, front, back, you get the drift. Dried soapy water kills the shine no end, especially when it gets smeared around when your drying the car.
I’ve a couple of bottles of Sonax BSD in my garage I don’t use now... anyone who is likely to see me at a meet pm me and I’ll make sure it’s in the car and you’re welcome to it
If only I was near anyone !If only you were near me!!!!
