I have too many as it is, at least a dozen different ones. I'm done. :nomore:

I'm just glad I didn't put it on my black trim.

I'll stick with WETS for that.

Don't know how we got to a tire shine, but IMO Tuf Shine can't be beat for durability and no greasy film. I hate scrubbing tires and now it's soap and water clean up for me and no dressing after cleaning.
 
I use beadmaker for toothpaste.... pearly whites!

PS Gyeon Q2 first time use, way to greasy, shiny for me. The Florida sun just melts this stuff forever. It never really dries. Hasta la vista baby. I put that on Sunday and it you can still wipe it off and it slung all over the lower trim, yuck. Two thumbs down. And I went super light and the tires were clean and pristine. You can see how the side with full sun still looks wet vs the side not in the sun. The problem is, in the early morning full Florida sun is on one side and in the afternoon on the other so it heats it up and makes it greasy. The dirt and dust on it in just 5 days is insane!

Have you tried tire coatings? I ran out of Turtle wax endura but I have a bottle of Optimum's coating now... just need to try it when I can.
 
I enjoy using the Double Black Collection Bead Maker Paint Protectant, especially on friends and family members vehicles. Most of my friends and family members could care less about cleaning or detailing their cars. If they don't care about their cars, then I'm not going to waste my time spending hours detailing their cars. I can simply wash their vehicles and quickly apply Bead Maker and they will be extremely happy with how glossy their paint looks and how slick the paint feels.

My neighbor was outside last night washing his two-year old Honda Civic Type R "White" when I came home from work. He's always talking with me about my car and how I keep it looking so nice and clean. He knows nothing about car care, so I always try explaining things, but it just goes right over his head. I walk over to him and tell him "Car looks great!" while he's washing the car. I look over the car and see it's loaded with rail dust and feels like sandpaper. He thought that was just a defect with the paint lol. I went inside and grabbed a bottle of Bead Maker and sprayed it on the car and wiped it off. He asked what is that stuff? I told him it's an inexpensive paint protectant called "Bead Maker" that's extremely slick and glossy. He said wow look at the shine. I said yes, it's very glossy. I told him to now feel the paint surface. He was blown away with how slick his paint surface was. He looked at me and said, Bobby can you please bring home a bottle of that stuff so I can use it on my car from now on. I said sure it only retails for $10.99 and I'll get you a discount on it too. He was also amazed by the price of this product for how good it performed.

Now remember his Civic Type R was loaded with rail dust and felt like sandpaper. No iron remover, no clay bar, no polish was used before applying the Bead Maker to his painted surfaces. He was extremely happy with an inexpensive spray product that only took a few minutes to apply and made such a big difference in the appearance of his vehicle. His Civic Type R now looks extremely glossy and slick to the touch.

I did explain to him that he should use an Iron Remover, Clay Bar and Polish to remove the rail dust and airborne contaminants from his vehicle to get the best performance out of the Bead Maker. His Paint surface would look and feel even better if he took the time and detailed his car the correct way.

Inexpensive, easy to use, great results = Happy Customer

I've haven't tried this stuff - but honestly if you're using it once to twice a week I would just use UWW+. Super slick and beads water very well. Also prolly costs about a dollar to make a gallon.

For a spray sealant I feel like Sonax BSD is the benchmark. It's not super slick - because it's not loaded with silicone(s). You use very little of it as well. I'd put it up against this stuff for beading/longevity and I'm pretty sure it would win.

I agree with you about sticking to one product and using it frequently. I'm just not sure why people are going crazy for this product because it seems there are other things on the market that exceed the performance of it. Slickness in detailing seems to go a long way - I get it. It does feel good when you apply it. In reality, I don't think it ads to the performance of a product.

I've used UWW and a lot of others, Beadmaker is my current favorite. With all do respect you can't make a comment like "I'm just not sure why people are going crazy for this product because it seems there are other things on the market that exceed the performance of it." if you haven't personally tried it. I buy it by the gallon on 25% off with free shipping so cost doesn't matter to me. I also don't care about slickness or durability with a spray detailer. Shine is a whole different thing and IMHO UWW doesn't even come close in the shine department to BM. My pics speak for that. No way does UWW do that.

I have BSD too, and I'm sticking with Beadmaker. It's 94 degrees in Tampa right now, full blown skin burning sun in 15-20 minutes. My Rogue is probably 180 plus degress right now. I can spray BM on it liberally and shine it up. BSD would take half a bottle easily to do the same area and it streaks big time.

My only gripe with a statement like this is that it’s completely dismissive of anyone’s past experience. If someone has used a dozen quick detailers, spray sealants, and products that fall in to various categories, you don’t always need to use something to have an opinion about it.

I don’t need to experience some discount rotten piece of meat to know that I prefer NY strip. The same way someone using something like D156, any rinseless wash and wax mixed up as a QD, or BSD probably can determine that bead maker won’t do anything better than what they’re already using does.

A lot of the hype I see surrounding beadmaker seems to be based on subjective criteria: Slickness and shine/gloss. These are things I could honestly care less about. I’ve thrown several different things on my car and never once thought “Wow, now THAT looks good.” It just always looks good to me. Maybe my eyes are less discerning, maybe I just don’t care. But I can almost 100% say if I bought a bottle of BM I probably wouldn’t use it a second time, and if I did it would be specifically in my pile of stuff I don’t like that gets used on cars I don’t care about.

But like I said, all the stuff talked about with BM just falls into the category of a product that I couldn’t care less about. My current favorite QD/drying aid/spray wax is griots rinseless wash and wax diluted as a QD, and it’s probably the easiest product to apply/buff off I’ve ever used. I just can’t imagine BM surpassing it in the places that do matter to me, primarily ease of use. Even before that, D156 is pretty freakin easy to use and can be used pretty sparingly.

I feel like I come across negatively when it comes to this stuff, but that’s really not my intention. I’m glad people like BM, it’s good to know people are out there enjoying the products that they use, which helps them enjoy the process.

I’m just a very skeptical and stubborn person I guess. If things can’t be explained to me in an objective way, I tend to be dismissive. Something to work on in 2019, I guess.

Well, if you don't care about slickness/gloss then Beadmaker is NOT for you, no doubt about it. I'm sure alot goes into a name but this product can mislead some people out there but then again, that's what we're for, to test a product and report back our findings and thus hoping to show others the way, well, if a certain person's opinion carries a y weights

In regards to Beadmaker and ease of use and being used sparingly Beadmaker definitely fits the bill. Goes on easy and the whole "spray it on heavily" is overblown if you ask me. I tried it that way and tried it in a normal application and have seen no difference.

I haven't used BM, and quite honestly I might never, because I already own SO many similar products.

That said, BM seems to have fans that are well respected here in this forum and I would absolutely take them at their word when they say good things about it.

Either way, I cannot remember in my 5+ years on the forum such a hotly contested product.

It could almost be called TMZ-maker, maybe Fair & Balanced-maker or this just in...Trouble-maker, LOL

Well played Eldo. Thanks for the solid review.

Longevity, gloss, protection, smell, colour, size, label, spray pattern: None of it matters when judging the level of usability for an individual.

The determining factor comes down to frequency of use.

Only in rare cases would one actually need paint protection if they clean their car daily.

Seldom do we remember to mention the important factor of frequency when it comes to recommending or reviewing a product.

Just like recommending your neighbour use a wash and wax when their routine includes only a bucket wash with a hose every month and they don’t want to spend money. The determining factor of the illusive “best” product comes down to individual routine and budget.

Beadmaker has made such a fuss due to the name, the marketing and the overzealous YouTube review(s). Most of it is inaccurate and has cast doubt over the product but it remains a brilliant one for many based on the way they use it in their detailing routine, not the aforementioned factors.

I think that is the driving force behind the negative impressions/comments/opinions/reviews of BM. When I saw Pan's video with its "glowing" review, I bought a gallon. I did an admittedly unscientific test on my Audi, one side BM and the other side GG Best of Show Detailer. To my eyes, both were good with high beading and gloss, but indistinguishable in those areas as well as in longevity - and I reapplied a few days later. With that level of hype I was expecting a noticeably better performing detailer than GG's and/or Nextzett Perfect Shine Detailer, hence the "letdown."

On its own, it's a good product and how would I ever doubt or question the people on the forums who have had good results? I can't and again just speaking just for myself BM was both a beneficiary as well as a casualty of Internet overhype.
 
Did I miss the reviews of Beadmaker stating it lasts a long time Its pretty established that Beadmaker makes the paint glossy and slick, durability about a month if all the planets line up, LOL. So in closing, what did I miss again?

I checked my post over and don't see any reason to report it to a moderator, thank you

What? Has someone hacked your account?lol.

As far as Beadmaker, IMO it’s not something that’s going to wow you after 1 use. [which is why some youtube reviews of it make certain people look like complete shills]

For example, the initial beading isn’t something I’d call really impressive, but after continued use there’s no doubt this product builds up a stronger layer which results in above average beading and slickness that’s pretty damn remarkable.

My paint has never been slicker. Those people who say the slickness doesn’t last must be using this once per month and that’s their own fault.
