I've used quite a few times now, and I really like the product. However at least for me I found it makes more sense to dilute it 1:1 as the product does streak on my black car. I can buff out those streaks, but with it diluted I find the gloss is just as nice, and it's easier to get out the streaks if any show up. That also makes it much affordable, as the price for a gallon is a bit pricey if you're using it straight. The smell is amazing. it smells like an orange drink that you want to drink. I don't suggest doing that though.

Sorry I don't have any actual pictures of it's performance.

Pros:
Can spray on plastic surfaces
Nice gloss finish
Great way to dry the car, can be applied when car is still wet.
diluted 1:1 and still great results

Cons:
Price
Streaks
 
I have a bottle and won't be getting another bottle. V7 is OK but I find Megs D156 to be more economical and no streaking issues.
 
I love using V07 after washes for the looks, but use a spray wax as a topper for an actual boost of protection

Have you ever used Aquawax? I like V07, but actually like the look, and ease of use of Aquawax. Less expensive as well.
 
I've always had a gallon of V07 handy. While it doesn't last long, I use it for wiping down a car after a maintenance wash to top off the exiting sealant or wax since it looks great!

How long, from what I've seen it can last a week? That seems like a normal amount of time for something that is suppose to be a maintenance wash topper type product? I mean I don't see how it could last more than 2 weeks. I don't think it's meant as long term protection. :) Than again I don't daily drive to work. So maybe that makes a difference if its less than a week lol.
 
Smells so good...the orange...only thing is it attracts bees every time I use it!

Yup I normally see two weeks out of it. Beading properties are god awful but damn it looks good on a freshly washed car. I don't use it as protection by itself. I use it as a topper after a maintenance wash just to boost gloss and shine
 
A previous fan of CG, but after coming here, I don't visit CG anymore. I'm almost finished, with my gallon V7 juice, won't repurchase.

I also have allot of CG's Speed Wipe not a fan of that one either.

V07 - seems to not last one driving trip, looks good after a wash though.

Is D-156 appropriate topping after wash for, my new Colinite 476S wax job?
 
I remember reading a reply from the presenter on youtube, and he suggested cutting it with distilled water 1:1.

I've never worried too much about longevity nor beading since I do weekly waterless/wipe downs. Having said that, with a suggestion from Loach (thanks Loach! and check out his youtube channel WaxMode), a 1:1 mixture of Sonax BSD & V7 proved to be a killer cocktail. Great gloss, and the beading is off the chart.

It's been raining the whole week and my DD is pretty much self-cleaning, as if I have a coating or Polimer Netshield.

Give this mixture a shot if you have both products in your arsenal.

I went from not knowing what to do with a full bottle of BSD, to running out and picking up 6 more to go with all the V7's I have, heh. It really is an impressive combination. No more draggy feel from straight BSD and the insane beading is a nice bonus. Also, it flashes away with little to no buffing, which is another plus.
 
my experience echos most of the comments here:
-looks great, but doesn't last long (so much for being a "spray sealant")
- I use it mostly after the weekly wash
- I'll try the 50:50 mixture with BSD ( which I LOVE...PNS+BSD= CRAZY beading and protection)
- I'll second the Aquawax..GREAT product.

I'm going to mix up some of this concoction and see how I like it. Sounds very promising!
