[@audreyyy803]

Can't say how helpful this was for my first application! It's been a 2 days and I've gotten nothing but compliments on my car. Thanks for the content!

[@kevinmioto2248]

[@ryanshutz4748]

I just discovered bead maker not too long ago. I absolutely love the stuff! Use it on the painted surfaces, windows, and rims. Works great and actually holds up awhile. P&S interior products (all of them) are amazing as well. Terminator, carpet bomber 👍👍

[@QuarterZipBro]

This knowledge is gold. I just bought bead maker and looking forward to applying it to my car.

[@jeepinspence]

I love using beadmaker and express interior as often as possible. I recently had COVID and lost my sense of smell and taste for weeks. I was SO bummed when I went back to work after being out so long and I couldn't smell the Express! lol Love the stuff. I think I could detail an entire car start to finish with just those two products! ;)

[@aarontyrrell2931]

Just started Rinseless method last night (first time), I've gone with Absolute and had s bottle of Beadmaker knocking around (didn't work for me last time), so I paired them up with BM as a drying aid and WOW, the gloss today was outstanding, def had issues with the cold though (and now I understand why) left my microfibers in what was left of the Absolute solution, worked great

[@Mannyfresh_]

I have never ever had a problem using Bead Maker. I love it, honestly people need to watch this video to learn how to properly use and apply. It's almost always user error I see when people talk bad about the product.

[@richlee509]

Very easy to use and great product

[@patrickambrose7582]

do you recommend hand waxing the vehicle first and then putting on the bead maker? Or will just using the bead maker as a spray on wax do it just fine?

[@Babydragon48]

Thank you guys for providing this video! I have just started using bead maker and love the glossy look it gives to my car and omg it makes the paint so sleek, it’s amazing. However I do have a couple of questions: 1.) How often should I apply bead maker? I do mainentnce washes every 2 weeks, so is it ok or should I be applying it every 2 weeks along with my mainentnace washes? 2.) When applying bead maker on glass, should I apply glass cleaner on first and then bead maker? Or vice versa? Or is glass cleaner not even necessary if I’m using bead maker? I do notice that after using bead maker, it makes my car a dust magnet. I have a car with a pearl finish and live in California, so I am definitely gonna try out the trick with the paint gloss and hope that works.

[@PandSDetailProducts]

#1 - Install Bead Maker as much as you like. Bead Maker is all about the experience so apply when you feel it is right. #2 - You can just go with Bead Maker. Glass Cleaner really is not necessary.

I’ve been using bead maker for about a year with much success, and love the product. Last time I washed my car, I used it differently, I sprayed it on before drying, and it literally left high spots all over my Dravit grey bmw. It was a nightmare! Can you not use it how I did?

Idk what the issue is but I have not hade good results with bead maker, I bought some after hearing everyone rave about it but I get streaky smear like lines. Adamas detail spray applies much easier and comes off easily with good shine.

[@chadgardnerdds3197]

Put Beadmaker in a $20 Harbor Freight HVLP paint sprayer. Mist it perfectly even over the paint when wet and it dries so easily. Once bone dry, mist it the DreamMaker-BeadMaker and buff dry. It’ll glow

Question--after applying to car, looks good but after a few hours I see areas that look "cloudy". It's a clean surface, excellent paint finish (2019 Vette). I wind up having to wipe again, and again--am i doing something wrong? Thanks

Hello i'm New to BeadMaker, maybe i missed it, I wanna try beadmaker for the first time.. but the thing is i wanna avoid overspray since it's a curing product.. instead of spraying on the car, Will it be enhoug if i spray it on a microfiber towel instead for first time application and use another microfiber to buff it to shine? Also am i able to put something directly on BeadMaker like Dreammaker. Or needs Beadmaker to cure first? if i use Beadmaker as a drying aid am i able to put dreammaker on top of it after im done drying the car?

[@PandSDetailProducts]

Totally fine to spray onto towel, we still recommend having another towel for final buff. Then yes Dream Maker can go over Bead Maker but I’d give it 30 minutes in between - SBG

[@crisalas5513]

would bead maker be good with a clay wax and seal? so clay, wax it with speed from 3d and then seal it with bead maker?

Quick question. My car is coated with 2 coats of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. I've been maintaining it with TW HS Ceramic Wash and Wax and TW HS Wet Wax as a drying aid. Would BeadMaker play well with these products as either a replacement drying aid for the Wet Wax, or as a final topper? Thanks!

No, you will start to build up too much product and results not desired. Maybe switch to once a month or every other. Works great as a drying aid

[@TroyScherer]

This might sound crazy but I have had my best experience when applying BeadMaker at mid-30’s - low 50’s. It applies clean and it don’t get the dust attraction that many have experienced. And the gloss and slickness seem the be amplified slightly. But maybe it’s just in my head. While I like BeadMaker. I really dislike the sprayer heads that are on the 16oz bottles. They spray fine and work until you take the head off to refill the bottle. Then the sprayer head pops out of the screw on coupler on a regular basis. This happens on all of my P&S products. It really stinks when you have a freshly refilled bottle of BeadMaker and the sprayer pops off and the bottle drops from your hand and spills product everywhere.

[@PandSDetailProducts]

Hello Troy! 2020 is the year of bad sprayers for sure. Not to blame things on COVID but sprayers have been almost impossible to get and we at times had to use below par sprayers. Wish we had a better answer but it is the truth:(

I used chemical guys body wash wax soap to wash the car and then used bead maker as a drying aid and it looked amazing afterward. There’s not much wax in their soap, I just use it to give me some time in the sun so I don’t get water spots. It’s probably the most shine I’ve gotten out of just washing and drying a car.

That's the one problem i encountered with beadmaker... The static charge here in AZ. I did test half of the car with paint gloss on top of beadmaker on one side and it was definitely better and way less dust on half the car. Then the issue became, the waiting to apply paint gloss because like she said, cars that I've used it with have to get released and can't be let overnight. My question is, what happens if i mix 50/50 bead maker and paint gloss in a bottle and spray it? Can it be done? Will it have the same results? Has anyone tried it? I love p&s products , actually have a few such as beadmaker, paint gloss, express, terminator, bomber , r2r .... But it's just that static with beadmaker 😅 I've even tried with my 365gsm towels from rgc and still... Before i was removing with eagle 500s, then went down to spectrums and then creatures. So I've tried different gsm as well... Maybe I'll have to try waffle? 🤣

P&S, I'm a beginner to detailing. I don't understand something: If I'm performing a decontaminate/contact wash, then dry my vehicle (using Bead Maker at this sequence or not), and then in addition to applying Bead Maker to the paint and trim, but also the windows/glass, when I clean my windows/glass with whatever cleaning product (let's say Invisible Glass), won't that strip away Bead Maker and undermine the integrity of Bead Maker at my windows/glass? Or do I first clean my windows/glass with a Glass/Window cleaning product, then apply Bead Maker after? Same theory: what if it was winter time and I was applying a water repellant to my windshield; in what sequence would I apply Bead Maker to my Windshield? Don't use Bead Maker in this scenario?

[@heinz20]

Think of bead maker as a topper. You want to apply it to a surface that's as clean as free from decontaminants as possible. You would wash, decon, apply any longer term ceramic coatings or sealants and then top with bead maker once the coating beneath has cured. Then on maintenance washes you would just use bead maker after you have done your contact wash. For glass it's the same. Wash, use glass cleaner, apply any longer term coatings and then bead maker as a topper. Bead maker adds awesome gloss and slickness but doesn't last very long but it's easy to top up with maintenance washes
