Does anyone here use it? As a top coat or as a stand alone product?

What kind of life are you getting out of it?

It is all the rage right now on youtube, just curious if anyone here has experience with it.
 
AutoGeek forum has a answer to all of your questions about Beadmaker. I am one of the reviews for the gallon size on AUTOPIA gallon size. It is not hype you will like it.
 
 
Thanks for the links.

I did a search for it as "beadmaker" and not "bead maker", had I done that I probably could have gotten away not having to make this repedative thread lol

Are you sure you didn`t search for bread maker?
 
It`s seems to be the latest "greatest thing in the land" which means regardless of how it works, it`ll likely fade a bit when the next "greatest thing in all the land" comes by. A couple of months ago Angelwax was the next world-changing product/mfg, had some legs and then faded a bit. About a year ago, coating-wise, it was IGL...`tis a fickle crowd, especially among hobbyists who like to try different things.

Judging from the reviews, it`s a very solid product and makes many people happy so it certainly has merit.

Find something you like and use it often but rarer are the things that have legs, long-long term, that are always held in high regard. Only time will tell if this is one of them.

Best feature about it it’s not overpriced.

I’m sure it works just fine (I haven’t tried it). The price makes it better than many IMO

So many of these things come out and they want 30 bucks for 16 oz

It’s definitely a good market for new products as a company can sell one with a legit or paid good review like hot cakes. But also they need to know it may only last two months.

It’s funny we’ve been talking about this stuff for around 2 years now. No one said much of anything when it came out. I guess we were talking about the “greatness” of Recharge. Remember Recharge? I think it died a well deserved death. One thing Beadmaker has going for itself is its cheap except you have to apply most of the bottle to get the “best effects”. I’m still debating on purchasing. I’ve got too many products that need testing, I guess another wouldn’t hurt.

Perhaps a nice example of "Any publicity is good publicity"?

It really seemed to have built up a nice head of steam lately after the lengthy discourse resulting from the Pan The Organizer video post. For a bit the product to a back seat to the discussion of sponsored videos, objectivity and such. Quite the drama and resulting discussion kept the product at the top of the page for a period of time.

I didnt really follow as it didnt seem like a product that would fit my style (I have my own addictions) but am curious how it is different from other spray waxes/sealants...things like Kenotek SS.

Eh, Angelwax stuff was the hype of month at the end of the summer, perhaps beadmaker will be remembered as the Belle of the Ball for the Holiday Season and by Easter another contender will be grabbing all the attention.

Only time will tell if it has the legs to persevere.
 
Angelwax QED and Angelwax Enigma QED I like a lot still. A little to a wax look which I like. And durable for being such products. Think that Angelwax Enigma AIO can be popular if it`s longevity you look from a AIO. And just what I have heard from others it seems to be have a great cut too. The downside would be to dial it in so you have an easy wipe off. Cause the heat and Sio2 can be tricky to work with. 2 hidden gems from AW is ti-22 sealant based on titanium and Corona that do magic on plastic trim parts. Corona is also a sealant so you get a versitale product with it. Then it`s all about what you are into and looking for.

Even if the Bead Maker works on top of any LSP. There is not so much of talk about if it change the base protection caractics. Have read about some testing with BM where it changes the water behavior and self cleaning ability from PNS and coatings. And for many that is important. While it excells on slickness feeling and gloss. And many likes those caractics as well. So it`s comes down to what you like. And what kind of base protection you use.

What I wonder about BM is if you need to apply it heavy on a LSP to get the most out of it. Or if the heavy application is only needed on bare paint. And how it works when you like to use different toppers and drying aid. If you need to start over with the BM heavy application when change it as a topper or drying aid. Maybe not a deal breaker since it`s low price. And many talks about how long it will last. But as I understand it it`s not made with durability in mind. The longevity is claimed up to 1-2 months. So if used on it`s own and after the first heavy application. It`s needed to be topped up with 1-2 sprays per panel regualary after that.
 
I am planning on using it on bare paint and as a drying aide for a few more months.

Then come spring/summer I want to do a paint correction and ceramic coating. I don`t plan on using bead maker with the ceramic coating.

I tried a multi quote reply earlier but my iPad is not cooperating. So I will just try it this way.


Paragraph 1:
If we look at any topper out there they all change the behavior of the product they are covering because they are covering a base layer and they are now in effect. If you top a sealant with a wax your u don’t keep the sealant beading. You get the wax characteristics until it wears away. The same applies to BeadMaker and all these other toppers. The difference is most of the Si02toppers are similar and in a way compliment a coating. If you want to keep the characteristics of the base protection you really need to stay in the same family and not be using multiple products all the time.



Paragraph 2:
You don’t really need the heavy application but it does ensure proper and complete coverage. Same applies when you do a full or multiple applications of a sealant or wax to make sure you get proper coverage.

If you just use BeadMaker then after 2 or 3 light applications you should end up with a similar full coverage effect.

If if you are using multiple products toppers on a regular basis you are always battling the same thing you are asking about BeadMaker. You are continually mixing and matching products and never possibly getting the most out of any one of them. If you do the first application and then continue to use just BeadMaker or any other product in the same way you should be getting most out of them.

I did a semi-heavy application and it works well and the gloss and slickness is there. After washing it a few times it really is now like using a QD. It is just glossing a slick.





BeadMaker may be the product of the monthly or it could be a long term mainstay. Only time will tell. I decided to try it early on before the hype train had taken effect. I find it easy to use and it does what it claims. It is glossy and slick. The water reaction is not as good as Sonax BSD but BSD is not slick in application or to the touch afterwards.

Since i have used mostly CarPro coatings I have been a long term user and fan of Reload. And since it works with the coatings for me it makes sense.


Personally I think we as users are always looking for the latest and greatest but we forget about brand and product synergy. Quite awhile ago I came the realization that minimizing my list of products and maintaining synergy would help me get more and better results.
