Looks like the hype on this one will die quite fast.

Hasn't it already died off? It seems less and less people are mentioning it now that it has seen it's flavor of the month.

I bet Matt is still selling it like hot cakes because he’s still using and so many people will use whatever he uses regardless of a better option existing.

That guy is starting to piss me off. It's 2019 and he's only just started to figure that he should have been trying Meg's Mirror Glaze and Detailer line products a long time ago. Probably never gave 'em a fair shake because they're not nearly as expensive as the products he uses.
 
I can’t say I’ve ever noticed different slickness levels between products, not that slickness matters a ton to me.

I think the only product I’ve ever noticed was slicker than anything else I ever used was collinite 845. It just seems like it’s a couple notches above other stuff I’ve used. But definitely nothing mind blowing.

D156, WGURW, any rinseless wash and wax concentrate, they all pretty much feel the same in my experience.

As I’ve been trying to use up products I’ve recently started using D156 again on everything after almost every wash. I forget how much I enjoy using this product. It’s flashes quickly, has solid protection, and is pretty slick.

I’m not necessarily interested in using it on my car (I’m not a topper kind of guy.. think I finally settled on this side of the fence for good) but I love using it on something like my work van or my gfs car. It feels worth the time applying it because it’s not done in a week.

I’ve not tried beadmaker, but I really have 0 interest in buying in to hype. Especially when gloss and slickness are pretty much irrelevant to me. If that’s all it really has to offer, hard pass.

As for a spray detailer / drying aid / slick as resin beads surface- Kenoteck show room shine is about the best

And it cost a HECK of a lot more $$$$$$ $21.98 33 oz. vs $32.99 128 oz. And I buy it on 25% off sales with free shipping. You can keep the kenotech. LOL

It has some of the best gloss & slickness of any spray wax and it’s inexpensive. GREAT product.

Agreed. When people are getting a product because they buy into the hype, they'll almost always be disappointed. I've been using it for a little while, and it lives up to my expectations....good results at a very reasonable price point. I get about a month out of it, on a daily driver that sits outside 24/7....not too bad for something so inexpensive. Maybe there are products out there that are slicker or more glossy, but this is the only product of it's kind that I've tried and so far I like it.

For anyone who bought it and really hates it that much...PM me and maybe we can work out a deal

It’s not a hyped product, it delivers in gloss & slickness

It does deliver gloss and slickness but for about 2 or 3 days. It also seems to deliver some extra static to the paint which attracts more dust/pollen. The name bead maker suggests delivery of beads and I found it pretty weak for that. Any other spray sealant I’ve tried delivered more beads.

Just out of curiosity, what other spray sealants have you used that were better? I'm always willing to explore options for my detailing shelf. The DG Aquawax seems to have a very competitive price point, and I'll likely give it a try and see if it outdoes BeadMaker.

i totally agree! The Kenotek is the best spray detailer I have tried to date, and I have tried many! IME is one of the few spray detailers that significantly cuts down on the dust accumulation for me. It is so good I wound up getting 3 bottles of it. It's cleaning capability is pretty good too. It will remove tree sap mist that most spray detailers cannot do.

I wonder if it has any silicone in it, which gives the slickness initially but quickly fades, a la HD Speed.

Your wondering if the beadmaker has silicone in it?, cause it quickly fades??

I can tell you for a 100% FACT the the Kenoteck does NOT fade quickly

Yes, I'm wondering if Beadmaker has any silicone in it.
 
Klasse and Pan are plotting out their rebuttal as we speak.

I agree, it’s a good drying aid and QD, nothing more.

Remember the Adam's Family...YOU RANG

Earlier someone commented on the name, Beadmaker, not so good there, no doubt about it! You have to know Beadmakers strong points, gloss and slickness and if that's what your looking for...winner! If your going to a cars and coffee or cruise night the night before, THIS gives your paint that extra POP, its noticeable and undeniable, period. Now as far as durability/protection, forget about it, reach for Sonax BSD!

I have Kenotek but haven't used it in quite a while but really need to, that's the problem with new products, the old guard gets moved to the back of the line. I see AquaWax was mentioned and it's been even longer since I used that one but I do remember the Shine it left behind and how it looked even better 30-60 minutes later too!

Using Beadmaker as a drying aid all the time will keep your finish looking incredible, no doubt about it and due to its price, use it often
