Nice. Never knew it can be used over wax/sealants.

really cool product. I think i'll have to give this a try. I'm not a coater and I've been playing with spray on wipe off "boosters" to my polymer coated cars. The boosters I've tried are spray on wipe off which is fine, but spray on rinse off is certainly a lot easier.
plays well with glass and trim or no?

Nice video and I agree with all that was said. A couple months ago there was a similar thread here and I said this:
"What an idiot I am! Yesterday I tried Sonax S+S and did it all wrong. I read the instructions, saw the video and read this thread and still did it wrong. I washed my car as usual and rinsed off. Before drying I sprayed on S+S in small areas such as half the hood, the trunk, a door panel, etc. But instead of rinsing it off I skipped that step for a reason that only a higher wisdom knows and went right to drying, using the product basically as I would AquaWax or any other drying aid. Big mistake. Huge mistake! When I finished I looked at the finish from all angles and sure enough, I saw haze on the finish. I needed a QD to work it all out. Not in all areas but there were enough that had haze on them that it doubled my work. I swore I would never use this pos again.
Today I remembered what I did and that it was all wrong so I started all over and washed the car again. This time I did it right and gave a good rinse off of the product before drying the car. What a difference! It had a nice shine to it and only took ten minutes to seal the whole thing, a piece of cake! And no haze whatsoever. I'm nearly 70 years old and this happens now and then so don't make fun of me because it will happen to you guys too some day - and I guarantee that. Anyway, S+S is a good product and does all it claims. I will use it again. Just follow the directions!!"

I would like to see a review of how long this actually lasts. It says 6-8 months but it also says you should apply it regularly so it lasts longer and so on. Reload also says 6 months and it only lasts 1 month & I suspect this will be similar.

In real world conditions, Phil at Detailers Domain regularly gets 3 months of durability with Sonax Spray and Seal hence why I mentioned 3 months. I rather give real world numbers when possible, instead of claims in perfect conditions as manufacturers test.
For Reload, I have been using it for years now, and I typically see 2-3 months durability on cars that are garaged and well maintained.
