As the title states other than V07 what are some good QDs to mix with sonax bsd to make it easier to use ?
I have tried with plusher towels etc but can't get along with the BSD alone. I much prefer how it works mixed with v07 but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a cheaper alternative than v07 to give the BSD a slicker less grabby feel ?
Finish kare fk425 or powermaxed quick detailer works quite well.
Tried it with a few others and most help to better the feel but then don't feel any different to a normal QD. None are really quite as melt into the paint whilst retaining the beading like BSD / V7

For me although the v7 isn't cheap as you can get through it quickly, it just works so well!
Plus it smells good too👍
BSD can be usually bought for a snip so this kinda offsets the cost of v7 for me. Personal choice I know but if it works why change it?
I'm using BSD+V07 at the moment and love it - beautiful wet, glossy looks with incredible flake pop, along with BSD's unreal water beading and sheeting.
I've just thought of a possible match made in heaven - BSD + Bouncer's Done & Dusted! I have both these products so I will try it out soon and report back!
Today i blended bsd with Orchard Autocares speedseal 50/50 and that worked perfect! Super slick paint and not that sticky bsd feeling. Now we wait to see how the beading and sheeting is 👍
I mixed BSD with AF Finale and the grabiness of BSD was gone, the paintwork was really smooth and the beading and sheeting seems unaltered. I mixed it 70-30 BSD being the 70.
Next mix to try; BSD and Bouncer's Done & Dusted (50/50). Mixed nicely and was very similar to BSD/V07 to use, it seemed to 'melt' into the paint with a light wipe and gave a nice smooth finish with no grabbiness.
Water behaviour seems as good as BSD so far though it hasn't rained properly yet, so I thought I'd test it out. Video after the pictures;
Couldn't resist one with the dog
Bit of beading
And finally, I know you guys love beading videos so I thought I'd go one further and do a slo-mo one!

tried BSD in a better bottle for more of a mist but that didn't really improve things. did a 1:1 mix with ultimate quik wax and that made massive improvements but really its still a crap product for putting on and wiping off. won't buy it again and its likely to just gather dust.
I did the BSD 50/50 with Bouncers Done & Dusted like richard has done i just want to see the difference as i have BSD mixed with a couple of things like Megs Last Touch, Chemical Guys V07 and tbh Megs LT look's better imo it give's off more gloss
Anyone tried a three way with V07, BSD and Done and Dusted? If so how was it? What ratio? I also have AF finale which I could throw in the mix too... What are your thoughts?
Mixing two products is probably stretching things as it is in my opinion.
It looks great with Bouncer's D&D. It worked well with Gtechniq C2V3 (1:1).
