So I recently tacked on a bottle of the new Sonax Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer to my last order to test it out. I like just about everything I’ve tried from Sonax. I bought it because it comes in a 25+ oz. size, and is reasonably priced.

This past weekend I took my black ‘70 Riv to a cruise in about 20 miles or so from my home. I used the Ultra for a little gloss enhancer/topper on the SiO2 paint sealant currently on the car prior to heading out.

We ran through an unexpected rain shower on the way there while on a heavily traveled highway. We’re talking a lot of oily road film and grime that has now been splashed up on my clean & shiny show car. Needless to say, Riv Fan is not a happy camper.

We arrived at the cruise in with wet cars and the sun beginning to come back out. I did absolutely nothing but let the car air dry while baking in the sun. To my surprise the car dried quickly with absolutely no water spots and looked like it had been freshly washed. For a BLACK car this is very impressive.

I’m a fan of this new detailer from Sonax. It’s super slick, has great gloss, and has ceramic coating characteristics. It also is an excellent value when you buy it for 25% off MSRP.

Pick up a bottle and try it for yourself. If you have tried it and like it (or don’t like it) I’d be interested in reading your comments…

Reads like a fine product. I like the fact it can also be used as a drying aid.
 
Awesome photo! I'm glad you like the new Sonax Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer.
 
Looks interesting, safe over ppf and ceramic. I have read this can be used as a waterless wash as well...anyone actually use it this way or any experience. Sub'd. j

Did it bead as well as Brilliant Shine Detailer?

Yes it did. If you prefer a slick finish and easy streak free application with all of the positive attributes of BSD, then you will enjoy Ultra .

How’s the durability? Your guess is as good as mine. But let’s be honest, if you’re reading this forum you can’t go more than a couple of weeks (days?) before putting something more/else on your paint anyway so does it really even matter?

We’re all the reason Bob McKee is a multi-millionaire (and that’s nothing against him… just a fact).

What do you think about the waterless wash aspect? Is it slick enough to encapsulate dirt? Thanks.

For me personally I would not use it as a waterless wash. I would stick to a ceramic infused waterless wash product and not push the limits of a quick detailer if that’s what I wanted.

Ultra is very nice as a topper for coatings and sealants, and could even be used to top a wax (although I probably wouldn’t put it on a wax). It worked well as a drying aid when I did a rinseless wash. Will also work just fine for your traditional quick detailer duties like removing finger prints, smudges, light dust, etc.

If anyone wants to try it out as a waterless wash I’d be interested in the results, but I won’t be the guy who tests it .
 
Great, thanks for the feedback. I have ordered a bottle, as if I or anyone else here needs another detailer...but always open to ideas. I do love wolfgang's sio2 ww, and use it regularly. This will make a nice addition to top it with.
 
Do I need it...no, will it be in my cart next order to probably sit on the shelf till next spring....YES I not only trust your review and opinion but anyone who loves Rivs and owns one of best lookin' cars ever, the 65' Riviera, is ok in my book

Btw, if you guys out there don't know what a 65' looks like, Google it as well as the fact that's it's one of the best lookin' cars ever...it's out there

I received my bottle today (thank you Amazon)…and can say I am really impressed with the ease of use and shine. Quality sprayer as usual from the Germans. I agree, not really a waterless wash….but man really looks nice on black. Time will tell with dust repellent as so far the best I have used is Autofanatic 007.

So far seems like a winner!

It's the 007 SIO2 Gloss Enhancer spray Amazon.com...it's a real nice product in the fact that it reduces pollen/dust attraction (at least that's what I found in my area). I am hoping this Sonax works well with dust repelling as I really love the shine and slickness.

Agreed! The first generation Riv's are icons of American automotive styling.

It’s funny how great most riviera’s look. Love the 60’s and the 70’s boat tails have always caught my eye.

The contrast is amazing there!

Only thing I would've changed would be blackwalls because it's GS but man does that contrast look awesome
