Ok well when I saw the Show'n Shine contest for this month I wanted to win cause I didn't win last month. Well it happened to involve NTS7 product. So as anyone would I went to the AG website and checked the products out. I have to say that they are cheap!!! And normally cheap isn't good... but hold on there a sec, I have something to say about that. So the following is a review of each of the products I bought, didn't buy them all, just one's I thought were interesting.

NTS7 Auto shampoo- Like most people with a foam cannon you want the most suds, more suds more cleaning power. Well I put enough to fill the bottom of the cannon container about 1/8 full and went to work. It sudded (if that's a word) pretty nice, didn't fall off automatically. And one thing I noticed when the sun hit were the oils in the soap, so that told me that this soap had good lubrication abilities. Some of the soap dried, but was easy to wash off. It's for in a sloshy liquid form than a gel like most soaps. But all in all I would have to say it's a good soap. Maybe mixed with something else, could be better. Get back to you on that one.

NTS7 Wheel Cleaner- Wow I was really impressed with this stuff. From what I have used, cheap wheel cleaners usually are really crappy and stain wheels. After the rinse, I sprayed on the wheels and then foamed the car, the foam locks the cleaner to the wheels, making it clean better. I just used a bug sponge and the brake dust came right off. I will post a F-150 later that had worse wheels and it work great. This is a good buy.

NTS7 Liquid Shield- I didn't expect anything from this wax. Again, you get what you pay for right?? Well I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Definately don't use in sunlight, it was mostly cloudy, but when the sun did come throught it made some of the wax a little hard to come off, so I'm sure if it was direct light might have a problem. Not sure of durability, cust car I did this on will be a monthly so I will update when I get a chance. Also this did make the flakes pop... not able to get a good shot with the weather. Also made for a deep shine as well. Again you'll see in the pics.

(Updated)NTS7 Express Shine- I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a QD, but it's a spray wax!!! Never the less, I applied some to the hood and it went into the paint very well, I'll compare hood to rest of car for beading. We'll have to wait and see on this one. Ok today I got to do another 750il, same color and everything. anyway, i did a basic wash and before i dried the vehicle i sprayed ES everywhere on the car. For once i didn't have to ring out the chamoi, its like the wax help absorb more water in the chamoi... it did streak only because too wet to buff. What's more awesome is it started to rain (no pics, not getting camera wet) but the water beaded real nice. tight, circular beads. once i got it into the garage, i went back over the car with a large ww mf. I did a final wipe with PB spray gloss and the car looked awesome!!! this stuff is a keeper, i would like someone who has AW to do a head to head. I would say this stuff is just as good, especially against LS Spray
Wax!!


NTS7 Upholstry Cleaner- This stuff is pretty cool, awesome foaming action and leaves a great smell!! Not sure how to describe it... but to me smells good. Oh and it didn't leave the floor mats sticky... some other upholstry cleaners have done that. I sprayed it on, used a brush and away it went. This car didn't have any stains, but I'm sure it would work quite well. Good buy for quick interior detail.

NTS7 Glass Shield- Good cleaner, little below SIG. You definately have to buff after application or it will streak. Again will get back to durability since it says it protects. Good buy.

Yea, what a review very nice. Man what a detail, just look at the interior...love those stripes very nice.

Thanks for sharing, very nice job there.
 
Sonax is actually very well respected in Germany, it just didnt seem like this line caught on here in the states. It appears all vendors have it on fire sale.
 
I just got a sample of that shampoo which I will try pretty soon!
 
Looks great!

Cheap right now too. I'm going to add some to my cart and if its still on sale when my next order comes I'm going to try it..
 
Wow the Sonax products look very professional in their NTS7 guise!

I think that the Gloss Shampoo is a great soap, and the whole line is pretty solid. The Liquid Shield looks excellent on silvers.

Oh and their spray heads are well above average!
 
love the review, i was waiting for a review like this to pick up some of the products.

Did the wheel cleaner seem really harsh?. Im worried of harsh cleaners as im scared that it will demage the coating on the wheels.
 
Very nice detail, Champion! <--- see, I remembered :D
Thanks for the review too! The Wheel Cleaner and Upholstery Cleaner reviews got my attention. Sounds like something I need to add to the list.
 
Very nice. :cheers:

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the amount of orange peel BMW allows on a 7-series to be VERY disturbing? :(
 
Nice review!!

Looks like the paint needs some work in one of those pictures and that certainly is a unique colour!!!
 
Man what a nice detail and write up :D. I should give the wheel cleaner another shot. I did NOT do what the directions said, which were to leave the cleaner on for 3-5 minutes I believe. I just sprayed, agitate right away, and rinse :p. I liked the soap, the liquid shield it was easy for me to use. That paint has an interesting color :D
 
Excellent review!
I have to share your views on the NTS7 Express Shine
I too was a little confused with its use. I was expecting to be more in the way of a QD, but you're right, it applies pretty much ala AW (spray wax). I bought two bottles of this stuff and I still have >1.5 bottles left
I will try again next time I get a chance...
 
terrific write ups! thank you!
also nice car. some cool photos there - I like the wheel shot!

today i used the wheel cleaner on another 750 excatly like the one i posted on and i got to smelling it.. and it smells like citric acid. which to me is alot safer than anything else. still waiting to try on chrome which i will get a chance to on monday
