How to FOAM Quick Beads (Yes, it Can be Done!)

[@andrewcramer7214]

I'm impressed/surprised at how little it used. Of course it's because Yvan was on the trigger haha! I can't wait to use up all my stock of meg's hybrid, I think quick beads will be my new go to wheel sealant!

[@diydetailofficial]

Yvan has the magic touch lol.

Slow and steady wins the race! If you use the smaller towels to dry, you have the blanket for a coat in the winter

[@diydetailofficial]

True

[@thesamsquatch5224]

@@diydetailofficial just preferential but myself I like the XL for hood and roof. I like the smaller for vertical panels and nooks

[@eeves]

I like the easy application of Auto Finesse Lavish Ceramic Snow Foam. You've shown Quick Beads application can be similar. I have both products on-hand. I seem to go through a bottle of Quick Beads more quickly.

Thanks for sharing!

What bucket and guard do you guys use? Love that clear bucket

[@diydetailofficial]

From a restaurant supply

[@neilwalker5041]

Quick beads is a great product. For me if a customer takes their vehicle through car washes I use ceramic gloss. If a customer is not taking their car through a car wash then I use quick beads to help with water spots.

[@diydetailofficial]

nice!

[@locar12]

so fun to watch you guys. just like Doc and Marty from Back to the Future

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks

[@masanta]

Do you guys think the cleaning power of incredible suds is slight diminished by spraying it with IK foamer as opposed to using a foam cannon?

[@diydetailofficial]

No it’s actually stronger

[@bluegrasskid4835]

Hello Yvan and Nick. I know with DIY Detail External Ceramic Coating, for optimal results, the paint should not only be clean of dirt and contaminants, but also have all previous sealants/waxes/ect. removed. Is this also true for Quick Beads and Ceramic Gloss? If I am doing a Wash/Clay/Ceramic job and while washing the customers car, notice beading indicating a wax or sealant, should I foam All Clean on the paint to remove that wax or sealant or are Quick Beads and Ceramic Gloss not as sensitive as Exterior Ceramic Coating when is comes to "bare" paint. Thank you and looking forward to my Spring23 order to show up!

[@diydetailofficial]

no need! Just enjoy Ceramic Gloss and Quick Beads after you've washed. If you do happen to polish and use panel prep BEFOREHAND, you can expect more longevity. But you're still going to get months out of them by simply washing first

[@mcflotty]

Is 32 to 1 what you'e supposed to mix Suds at as a pre-cleaner? I think I've been adding too little maybe.

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, 32/1

[@azmaymi9237]

What will happen if i foam the whole car at once woth quick beads wash it down with mit then wash off with pressure washer after bad or good?

[@diydetailofficial]

Should be fine

[@azmaymi9237]

@@diydetailofficial ok ty hopefully not streaks

[@Misumi-uk2os]

Can incredible suds and quick beads mix

[@diydetailofficial]

Not in the foam cannon

[@Austin23_23]

What do you guys suggest for polished aluminum wheels for scratch removal and protection?

[@diydetailofficial]

If they are raw aluminum, use your favourite metal polish then protect with DIY Detail Metal Coating.

In one of the older videos comments (I think it was gloss from the garden hose?), you replied to some comments on dilution stating, 1oz to 31 oz of water and another comment stating 3-4 oz to 1 qt of water. Here it’s undiluted. So I’m a bit confused. Approximately, How many ounces in a pressure washer foam cannon for a compact SUV (Seltos, HRV, Corolla Cross, CX-30) and at what dilution (or undiluted)?

[@diydetailofficial]

Start with one. If you don’t get the desired results, add more. Each method of foaming and tools requires different adaptations.

[@brythanaustin]

Has anyone used the tire shine? I keep running into a problem with it not wanting to stick and I'm very thorough with cleaning my wheels but I put it on and the tire is black and then back to brown.

[@brythanaustin]

I will even double layer it as well and the same thing happens.

[@diydetailofficial]

Are you letting the tire dry *completely* before application? One issue is applying tire dressing to even a partially wet tire can limit its durability

[@brythanaustin]

@@diydetailofficial yes I use a heated air dryer before I never apply tire shine on a wet tire

[@diydetailofficial]

@@brythanaustin what are you using to clean the tires?

[@brythanaustin]

@@diydetailofficial I use Gyeon products so tire cleaner , wheel iron remover and apc if I am out of both I spray a mix of 2 and use a stiff tire brush on them and do 3-4 times around the tire face

[@conwaysdetailing387]

Do your IK foaming sprayers have the option to fill them with air with an air compressor? I believe they do don't they?

[@diydetailofficial]

One of the models does, yes

[@conwaysdetailing387]

@DIY Detail figured it was an option thank. I like the kits you have set up with them.

[@marklittleton1309]

Huh, very interesting! I'm curious, which way do y'all prefer, Nick & Yvan? How much impact will doing it this way vs. the traditional way have on longevity? Obviously, you'll probably use more product, but there will be less worries about streaking/splotchiness.

[@diydetailofficial]

Nick here...honestly my preferred method is to spray Quick Beads into my pressure washer stream. To me it's just so fast and easy. The beading is immediate, I can then flush the paint one last time with just water and move onto the next panel....

When are you getting drip catchers coming in. They been on back order before Xmas. I need two sets! One for a gift

If I have a DI can I just rinse and walk away after foaming on QB?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@481brighton]

How would Ceramic Spray be over the Quick Beads?

[@diydetailofficial]

DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss is great over DIY Detail Quick Beads

[@bryang7393]

Great video! 👌 who knew you could foam quick beads that just makes everything easier and faster, the yvan way 😂 I would love if you guys could make a video on how y’all keep your tools/equipment clean ( brushes, towels, pads, etc). Will all clean do the job? 🧐

[@diydetailofficial]

Great idea!

[@ThisOldDetailingDude]

Ready and waiting to learn.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you

[@Ecdetails]

Did Yvan said “I’m just slow” lord he’s lying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@diydetailofficial]

He moves slowly, but gets the job done quickly.

[@Marketing4Money]

Is it dangerous to use quick beads in the sun?

[@diydetailofficial]

Dangerous isn't the right word. I would just be extra cautious with any product in the sun. Work this one panel at a time, don't spray half the car down in direct sunlight. The smaller the section size, the more control you have. If you're spraying down half the car, you can lose to the sun very quickly. If you feel less comfortable with the foam cannon method, and more comfortable just spraying it on the paint from our bottle, that works too!

[@mingoreyes1]

Apply I used gold standard to polish out some light swirl marks. Then, panel wipe, can I coat after use of gold standard?

[@johnfreeman440]

You can, indeed. There are no waxes or fillers in the Gold Standard polish. Panel prep after and coat away!

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, you can coat after using Gold Standard Polish. Best to use Panel Prep after polishing and then coat.

"16 oz bottle. no conversion necessary"

[@diydetailofficial]

Lol

[@cfwebdeveloper]

Nice, probably put less in the foamer and call it day?

[@diydetailofficial]

Whatever works for you 😀
