I’ve been reading that guys have been mixing these two for years to get a little slicker surface than BSD alone. On another forum some guys were saying the blue formula of BSD is better than the older version and mixing isn’t really beneficial. I’m new to Sonax and am about to order some PNS and BSD. Should I pick up some V07 and if so what is the recommended mixing ratio? Thanks guys

If you are going to be useing it your nice white truck in the profile picture. I would not mix with V07. And if you are wanting the slickest LSP the Sonax PNS and BSD is not so good at that ability. What you do get is an awesome water behavior and self cleaning ability from PNS and BSD. And you get get a nice crispy looking paint. The feel of the paint is not so bad but not great either. A tips I can share is to pour BSD in a spray bottle with a nozzle that you can adjust to a fine mist spray. If you want to look up a Flairosol spray bottle it is perfect for BSD with it's very fine mist it has. And if you don't want to change the spray bottle. I would recommend the first times to spray in the mf towel and wipe it in with and follow up with a second mf towel. Change the wipe off mf towel when you feel it's getting saturated as you need it's ability to soak up the BSD excess product to not get it streaking. And remember a little goes a long way with BSD. So prime the applicator towel with a couple of sprays and on a mid sized car 1-2 sprays per panel is often enough. This way I have it to be the least grabby. And since you maintain a base coat of PNS you need very little product to spruce up the protection that has.

If you still want to try V07 and BSD combo they mixing it 50/50. And if you feel the BSD is a little thick you can dilute it 50/50 with distilled water. On it's own BSD gets you 2-3 months of solid protection depending on what kind of environment and driving habbits you have. So dilute it is no problem if applyied monthly.

The PNS I have not tested out so others can chaim in on that. But it's the closest to a coating you get and sometimes even better behavior than some coatings. And the looks on white paints for some reason is awesome IMO.

Will be interesting to hear what you think about them.

I’ll be using it on the Ram and a white GMC dually so nice to hear it helps the white pop. My main reason for trying PNS/BSD combo is because I’m about to get busy,busy and won’t have the time to wash/seal my trucks as I have in the past. The slickness doesn’t really matter to me much just the long lasting protection I read about. I may try BSD straight on one truck and the mixture on another just to experience the difference. I really appreciate the detailed response!

Yeah the longevity of PNS is good and the help with BSD as topper it will be lasting about a 6 months or so. Consider which car soap you are going to be useing or which waterless wash or rinseless wash. Since it has an aggressive water behavior and self cleaning ability I would use something that don't leave anything behind or that the glossenhancers don't interfear with the PNS/ BSD. I like Carpro Reset but there are others like gtechnic g-wash and Gyeon Bathe and Meguiars Hyper Wash D110. For rinseless wash or waterless wash you have McKees 37 N-914 rinseless wash and think that Wolfgang über rinseless wash works too.

Yeah it's fun to test out different products. I don't know if the V07 does degrade the water behavior and self cleaning ability a little. But since you have the different vehicals to apply it on you will notice that. And white paints you will be satisfied with the looks I think.

I use Hyperwash now but I’m almost out so I’m thinking of trying Opt Car Wash next. Thanks for all the advice man!

I second Beadmaker, had a gallon of V07, BM is better.
 
PNS and BSD work great together. Same goes for BSD with the Sonax CC36 ceramic coating. They lack in slickness but the aggressive water behavior and self cleaning effect are great from all three.
 
I tested the Blue against the previous version of BSD and did not find any noticeable differences at all in wipeability, slickness, or performance. Same great stuff. And I will echo the nod to Bead Maker over V7. A BSD and Bead Maker mix is something on my plate for testing when the gallon size comes in.
 
I just used BSD today for the first time.

As a drying aid it works great. Sure it wasn't as slippery as the ECH20/Reload I used 2 weeks ago but I won't be touching my paint until next wash.

It settled pretty good considering I washed the car outside in 42 degree air.
If it works better than ECH20/Reload for rain/snow/salt It will be my winter topper.

My 17 year old son said it was sort of grabby but not bad.
 
Bead Maker and BSD would be a very interesting to mix 50/50!
 
Yea, I have enough BM, maybe a mix and a spritz after wash :)
