Video: Trying P&S Bead Maker for the first time.

Agreed, I use BSD as a spray sealant after a wash. I have never used it as a QD, don't plan on ever using it as a QD. In this case, I find is superior for what I'm looking for to just about any other spray wax/sealant I have tried. I either do rinseless washes with 914, or traditional wash. I will use BSD once a month. Twice a year I use a finishing polish, followed by PNS. Frankly, my cars have never looked better, or stayed cleaner longer. I think I could easily get away with doing the cars in the spring, using BSD once a month and only have to do the polish and PNS once a year.

Sounds like you have a system that works for you. I want to try PNS, does it leave a slick surface ? Wasn't Sonax supposed to come out with a car wash that worked with spray&seal?

No, PNS doesn't leave a slick surface. The tactile feel is exactly the same as BSD to me. PNS can be a pain to work with if it is humid outside, at least in my estimation. Its' protective properties and self cleaning are really good. It is so hydrophobic, right up there with some of the slickest coatings. One can certainly feel the product left behind by PNS and BSD.
 
You'd think I'd know this but sometimes the "alphabet soup" confuses me too...also there's so many forum favorites you kinda stay focused on your own "Stuff".

Notes from Northeast Ohio - Put Beadmaker on my snow shovel. Couldn't say one way or the other if gloss increased, but snow did NOT stick to shovel. :xyxthumbs:
 
That’s very promising because it may mean contaminants from driving won’t stick to a car
 
Looking at the extended forecast there will be NO carwash anytime soon, so the double application of Brillant Maker will end up going 2 weeks before being washed. This will include, rain/sleet/snow and extreme cold (when parked at work). Its looking like 2 weeks with no carwash, a solid test for this "new to me" mixing of products, stay "tuned".

15 days after initial application, all slickness gone after first wash with ONR. It did seem to stay cleaner than usual, and I drove thru a couple of good rain storms. Beading was average during said rain events, which doesn't make sense being how slick it is. But then again, PNS isn't slick at all and beads like crazy.

Hey. Good to see you posting again. I see you like PNS and BSD. They are great. Knowing that you like this combination, I would say to give the Sonax CC36 ceramic coating a go. Think of it as PNS on another level. BSD also worked well with CC36. CC36 has a 1 year claim but one can extend it with PNS or even BSD.
 
Today was the first I took the Explorer out in the rain after using BM and I must say I'm not impressed with the sheeting. The rain water beaded like crazy, but it wouldnt slide off. I prefer my beads to slide off while driving than just sit there.

How fast were you going?
 
One observation, I've noticed that Bead Maker tend to crystalize and get frozen easily and faster than water alone in cold weather. :(

In any case, I'm almost out of my 1st gallon of Bead Maker, about to order my second gallon.
