Love the product for gloss and slickness, but it’s durability and hydrophobic properties are below average.

Hydrophobic properties below average on a product named "Beadmaker" Blasphemy!!!
That's actually perfect because my car never sees rain or water hose car washes. Kind of disappointing to hear though
 
I feel this product is gimmicky and trying to capitalize of a name and a fad instead of being a true car detailing chemical company. Basically another Jay Leno garage and not another meguiars

P&S have been making detail products in house for 50 years so I would politely disagree. I do agree that the name is a bit misleading though.

Have you tried all their products? They have been making detailing products before you knew what a wax was.

You have been pretty good on your comments lately. Please continue instead of blasting a company you know nothing about.

P&S has been around forever man. Bead maker is a great product on coated vehicles. I love it. Can’t beat it for the cost either.

LOL...you're clueless. P&S is one of the few companies that actually manufactures their own products, and they're quite good. VERY far from the Jay Leno product line.

I wouldn't use it on a coated vehicle, as the water behavior is lacking. But the gloss and slickness is top notch!

Your correct, but I rather have gloss and slickness and sacrifice the tight beading.
 
I have it on my car and Megs HCW on my wife’s.
(There’s a thread that I posted on here somewhere that shows both)

At the end of the day, the HCW is better at beading and more durable for sure, but....
I keep ordering and using BM on my car because of the feel and gloss.
I’m a sucker for the slick feel. I find myself wanting to top my wife’s HCW with it for the feel!

It’s water properties are ok and since my car is usually in a garage, it’s plenty good.

Every time I wash my wife’s car though, I’m reminded how much better the water properties of HCW are.

You pretty much nailed it. On a side note, HCW tends to leave noticeable smearing on dark paint, IME, so I use beadmaker instead. I applied it to dry paint initially, and now use it as a drying aid after my weekly washes.

you should try powerlock if you like the slick feel. I haven't tried the 2 products you mentioned but powerlock is super slick, durable and a great bead maker.

Power Lock is a great sealant, but the initial slickness and gloss you get from BM can't be beat.
 
I like BM and use it over top of all three of our coated vehicles without issue. It's super slick and lately it's even given me the ability to blow 90-95% of the pollen on my vehicles off with a leaf blower. Yeah....I have a touch of OCD.

if im weighing longevity, beads and slick feel, the feel is always last though. And powerlock is pretty slick. I don't want people touching my paint anyhow haha.

With me, longevity is last. Gloss is number one, followed by slickness. I hate beads..wipe (blow) them off asap. LOL
