STOP Saying Spray Sealants Don't Last. You're WRONG! BeadMaker vs Megiuars!

[@bankox4]

I find with sealant sprays, if you use them regularly, say 4-6 weeks they seem to 'layer' and give fantastic results. Thanks for the video which certainly proves a point regarding these sprays.

[@petermaidment1175]

I do the same thing especially with TW and meguiars it is so cheap and it uses so little I sometimes give the car a quick spritz every week before drying and it looks great. 😁

[@weaverdetails4747]

This is so great to see because Beadmaker durability has been similar for me.

[@abelcelestinjr8810]

Interesting but I have a question doesn’t the 3D waterless wash leave some carnauba on the paint??! I would assume you would use some type alcohol solution or prep, to remove that residue and than try this test,

[@cbruno12180]

Abel Celestin Jr i thought the same thing!! I call bullshit..

[@themikeroberts]

Yes, 3D website says "Waterless Car Wash Cleans, Polishes & Protects". That "protect" claim would mean it leaves behind something, which probably causes beading. www.3dproducts.com/waterless-car-wash/

[@petermaidment1175]

When I used bread maker it was flat after 2 weeks! Glad you are getting good results.

[@joseortega555]

Prep work and are you using it as a stand alone or on top of something else? I haved used it as a stand alone with a purple power automobile wash/dry/ isopropyl alcohol wipe down. It works pretty good for me. I got 2 months out of it. It probably could have gone more but I was bored and decided to try the TW ICE seal and shine. Working great so far also x 2 weeks. For the price and ease of application, I'm okay with 2 months protection. I have TW Seal and shine with collinite 845 on my truck. The paint looks super deep. The next wash I might to a bead maker dry down to see what it does. Give it a second chance!

[@petermaidment1175]

@@joseortega555 thanks for your response. I used it as a topper over the existing sealant, i day prep it with a clay mitt but i did not polish or prep wipe. I am now using TW S&S which i have again used as a topper. My next job is to do the proper prep work then add the sealant. I probably won't use B&S again due to the amount needed for the initial coat plus i have the TW to use and Megs Hybrid Ceramic! I must stop buying products!!!

[@andywazy4383]

Great video! I am currently using P&S Bead Maker on my full detailed vehicle as the sealant. I’m not very impressed with one thing about the Bead Maker and that’s that it seems like it attracts dust from gravel roads! I’m actually at the point where I’m wishing I didn’t use it as my sealant! Have you tested any sealants on gravel roads to see if any products repel or attract road rust to them?

[@gregoryvela7549]

Topping beadmaker with paint gloss spray will help with it's anti-static properties

[@jesseviers487]

You can mix bead maker with dream maker and it will repel dust. 10:1 bead maker to dream maker

[@rogerphilabaum4563]

I've heard a lot of people say that spray sealant don't last. I've got Hydrosilex spray on ceramic going on a year and meguiars hybrid ceramic going on 6 months now. I maintain these vehicles weekly and they are garaged but they are driven as well.

[@jeffmartin6721]

And a couple of sprits per panel about every 2-3 weeks and you don't have to worry about longevity. I have bead maker and I love it.. good video.

[@LittleJimmyNorton]

FINALLY!!! A fucking real durability test, thank u. Tired of seeing morons spray, degreaser and iron remover and rub it in and say, it doesn't last. U did a real test.

[@DiamondDetailingBuzz]

I’ve purchased 3D bead it up in 1 gallon bottle, my question is am I supposed to be diluting it or is it ready to use ?

[@vbBegin1957]

The problem with beading it will render water spots to your paint. Doesnt drip off completely. So both products are not good.

[@donnclaibornejr7231]

Maybe it makes no difference but I noticed you made more rinsing passes over the Meguiars side than you made over the other side. With that said the difference in water beading seems negligible at best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@kristofferpence]

Luke, not sure if you have tried it. But try optiseal by optimum. Tiny bit goes a long way and curious to see your thoughts

[@adamg7850]

Opti Seal is good but there are much better spray sealants on the market now with much higher Sio2 content and better durability. Hyper Seal by Optimum has double the Sio2 content of opti Seal.

[@jdisdetermined]

Opti-Seal was an incredible product when it came out, it is showing it's age now.. Seal & Shine is far more durable, same easy application.

[@danlc95]

I'm going on five months with Opti-Seal on part of my trunk. I made a video of it in September. Brian from Apex did a video pitting it against Wolfgang and it survived till the end. Opti-Seal's biggest "problem" is that it doesn't make the beads people have grown to like. The absence of this visual feedback equates to lack of protection - which is all in the perception. The other "issue" is in application. It's vitally important to let the majority of thr product flash away. Wiping immediately after application can remove most of the active ingredients before it has a chance to link up with the paint. I was guilty of doing that, as well as not applying enough product on the paint. Optimum recently updated Opti-Seal and it now had increased sio2 content. It sounds like it's going to be closer to the traits of the original Hyper Seal, before they included the sic component they use in Gloss Coat, and their professional coatings. Right now I have four cars in my close proximity that are going to ride out the winter with Opti-Seal. My car as well is going out with Opti-Seal. Since 2011, Duragloss 111 was my winter protection of choice. Very tough, protective sealant. It's a beast. Before I started offering ceramic coatings, it was my most durable offering, and when combined with their 601 Bonding Agent, it was even stronger. Duragloss Aquawax is another super strong spray sealant. I prefer it over the more modern offerings. It outlasted Bead It Up for me. Great topper for Duragloss 111, and their 101 cleaner / sealant.

[@rooboy99]

Meguiars HCW is still going strong on my garaged car, 4 months later. Non garaged car only lasted 3 weeks. Applied exactly the same. Total let down. The first time i washed the non garaged car, water sat on the car like it had no product at all. Sent email to meguiars Australia with pics. No reply

[@dustin9258]

Not sure which waterless wash that is, but the chemical guys waterless wash will actually bead water on its own. Might want to just rinse the trunk lid

[@lgarcia1913]

Looked like he use 3m waterless wash

[@M4rtix21]

ye I was thinking the same ... bead maker would never have such water beadin' ... FAKE RESULT !!!

[@amounifnd]

Good review. And yes this is a fair review as both sides performed differently regardless of the wash used. Could have used $5 armorall wash n wax and it can cause beading but it would be uniform if the sealant below had worn out. Here it clearly hasn't for the bead maker in particular.

[@DrCrown-wm6ft]

Luke, I love your stuff, I was thinking they are still beading because of the waterless wash....think about it!

[@checanet]

Yes, BUT this is a little (or nothing) over water, two panels have diferent beads. Both products are great.

[@davidruggles996]

Good stuff Luke. Appreciate the fun long-term test!

[@CaptChrisCanning]

For a spray product, I defiantly think it's worth the money for someone that just needs quick protection.

[@backhandkill]

Defiantly?

[@justinmoses3225]

I like Sonax spray + seal & 303 touch less sealant. Great video man keep up with great job.

[@aeacvlog2033]

I've been experiencing as you are, IN FLORIDA TORRENTIAL RAINS & HEAT on outdoor kept cars. Beadmaker bonds well and lasts a looong time if applied right. People that say otherwise must just not be applying it right.

[@brokenSnake]

What do you mean by applying it right? Spray and wipe? Because that's what the instructions say and that's what everyone does. You're being delusional if you think beadmaker lasts even a light to moderate rain..just look at any comparison

[@AEAC]

@@brokenSnake For sure it's not my imagination, it's not rocket science observing & appreciating performance after torrential rain. But I'm not sure if you're actually asking for my help and want to know how I (we) easily achieve performance out of it... or if you just felt like being mean by labeling my results as "delusional?"

[@VW.907]

Interesting. Thanks for the update. I was underwhelmed by Meguiers, when I used it.

[@jiajunryanho6332]

For me I think it works best if I use hybrid ceramic wax every 4 weeks and bead maker every 2 weeks or so. It works very very well.

[@bigd9848]

I have the Adams ceramic spray coating on my Camaro SS. The thing held up through the winter and is still going strong. I use all of Adams products.

[@adamg7850]

Try McKee’s 37 if you like Adams products. Half the price and better products. McKee’s has a spray ceramic for $45 that lasts two years. You can do 6-8 cars with one bottle.

[@richardvacanti4265]

Hi I do believe your video. But can you please tell me why bead maker only lasted every time I use it 10-12 DAYS at most 2 weeks. And A lot of people have similar experience that I do and less with your experience with the products

[@TheDex302]

Did you use any toppers or detail sprays on them over the 15 weeks?

[@markkropf8295]

I've seen several videos of beadmaker not beading that well upon application! Another thing if you want to really test out longevity based upon beading then you can't use a rinseless wash because even though no protection is supposed to be in them they will provide a level of hydrophobic property.

[@brokenSnake]

This

[@CarlosHernandez-yf1py]

Spray sealants are really good, well at least the one i use which is Car Guys Hybrid. I’ve had it on my car and it will literally last around 3 months and that’s really good since I live in Florida and it’s 97+ degree EVERY SINGLE DAY!

[@Steathl]

This test you have been done including washings with car wash soap so you can really test as a daily driver with 1 Wash a week or so. Still. Good contento bro Keep it coming

[@efraimperez2726]

Dude bead maker litterly is holding up way better than mg. It's a far better product and is so easy to apply!

[@johnmclain89]

Interesting. I’ve used both on my two cars. Applied at same time and the car that gets driven most also has HCW and it outlasts the Bead Maker car. I like both but find HCW durability to be quite a bit better. Interesting to see you found different. I’m glad actually because I like both products a lot.

[@ssoffshore5111]

Scott Vogan I believe how the HCW is applied can make a significant difference. It must be shaken and seems to last the longest when applied with no water

[@johnmclain89]

@@ssoffshore5111 Agree. I put it on a damp applicator pad and wipe it on and buff off. Works amazingly well.

[@karl3927]

If it's longevity and beading you're after try Sonax BSD. I think it would beat either of those two spray waxes/sealants.

[@flipfloplogic]

I'd rather use a spray wax than a ceramic coating. I don't like the idea of something being on my car that is so permanent. I use meguiars hybrid ceramic spray wax and per directions I spray some on my car before rinsing one last time after a wash which happens every weekend. The meguiars wax should last a long time with repeated uses and I can remove it easily if I decide to.

Absolutely. I lost all interest when the waterless wash came out. Very unscientific.

[@Sherukka]

@@gregsullivan7408 No. I've tested Beadmaker enough and you can *feel* it still beeing there when washing using ONR because of the slickness that at least neither Optimum Car Wax or Opti Seal gives.

[@gregsullivan7408]

@@Sherukka Ok sorry for over-reacting. I'd still prefer it if just plain water were used, or a plain car wash with no waxes whatsoever. I've used ONR myself, and I think it does add some slickness. I take your point though.

[@danlc95]

It might leave something, but if it were something substantial, both side would be reacting identically. ONR is accused to leaving something on the paint. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be there after a final drying wipe.

Try Duragloss 111 "Clear Coat Polish". There are no polishing agents in it. It's a synthetic sealant that has just enough cleaners to reach bare paint (gets through polishing oils, light grime, etc, etc). The result is a very tough, durable sealant. I've used it for years on my non garaged car, and on my family's vehicles. Maintain with their Fasf Clean & Shine, and top off with their Aquawax. Super vintage products that continue to compete in this day and age.
