I've been using beadmaker for the last year and have learned it's best to use it with the thought of " less is more ". I need to over saturate the panel but a quick spritz and you're good. Wipe on, wipe off especially in hot weather there's no flashing at all. Colder temps it's not as easy but most detailing sprays are more difficult in colder temps.
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! ;)
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 👍👍
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.
Yes! Paint Gloss does help clean up the paint after applying Bead Maker. Did it last week. Thanks for the tips guys! I've been using your products for years; I have over two crates of P&S Produtcs! :) I've been detailing for 10 years now and P&S is one of the best in the industry 💯
Love beadmaker and I love the paint gloss tip! The way beadmaker goes on and the ease of it make it easy for me since I’m in a wheelchair!! I do hope that this product will get more disabled detailers!!
Topping Rupes Uno Protect with Bead Maker to help removal really deepens the shine. Followed that suggestion from the Rag Company guys and it really works.
used Bead Maker for the first time today and holy shizzle this stuff is the real deal. it will be a staple of my every wash. Thanks P&S for this amazing product my 2020 Ram looks better today than when i bought it 9 months ago.
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
Love it when the one gentleman explains how to go along the whole length of the hood and then the next side the 2 doing that side don't do what he said to. So good
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
My issue here in the tropics is unpredictable rains... Like many, I dont have a garage ... so if you guys want to design an EVEN BETTER product, it would have to be a fast bonding sealant... I would love you guys even more 😁
the turtle wax ceramic coating in walmarts or autozone is actual amazing. if you have black they also have a special one for black cars that makes a noticable difference on black paint
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.
#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 had my entire motorcycle including my fairing and plastics ceramic coated. Can I apply bead maker over the plastics and fairing to extend the life of the ceramic coating? Any tips for the clear fairing?
Hi I top turtle wax hydrophobic seal, I've also topped fusso 99 with bead maker & personally speaking - it's the closest thing to the results I'd get from Swiss vax 👌
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
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.
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.
@@thewiseguy7100 I spray it on the wet panels and use it as a drying aid and dry the panels which also gives a good layer. And then you can apply it again after but I usually don’t if I’m in the sun with hot paint.
@@sirgubengloben I’m definitely going to start doing that , normally I was drying the car fully and then going by layer spraying the bead maker and wiping it.. it was taking me long
@@thewiseguy7100 yea it definitely speeds things up. It also helps if the paint is hot, if you apply bead maker on the hot paint, it’ll flash instantly, but it goes on good with wet paint.
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? 🤣
Can I apply this to my car every time I wash my car? (Twice a week) If the answer to that question is yes what would be better to do it while its still wet or after it has been fully dried? Thanks!
I have a black car with Expel PPF on the hood. I applied Rupes Uno Advance with a DA polisher on the rest of the car. It looks and feels great but I want to use BeadMaker as a topper to remove water spots after washing and drying. Will this product be compatible with the Uno Advance and the PPF hood? PS ... The PPF installer advised me not to use anything on the hood. Just soap and water.
I just used today. Day started around 37 and it was fine. Once it got down to 33-32 it became a little more difficult to work with. Also the towel did not glide on the paint as smooth. Id say 35° is the absolute minimum.
I have seen multiple people ask if beadmaker can be used on a car that has a cured ceramic coating but have not seen a response from the manufacturer of breadmaker! Can you use breadmaker on a car that has a cured ceramic coating ?
Where I live we have to use a waterless wash. The product that I use is a combination wash/wax which I do every other day. How do I use your products along with the wash/wax products to make my car pop. Also how often can I use it based on the frequency that I use the wash/wax product. Thank you in advance.
The big guy helper is doing exactly what we were told not do aka small circular sporadic wiping instead of the long straight line strokes top to bottom 😂😂😂
I love Bead maker but I live in the Midwest and bead maker is horrible for dust. After I wash my car and use bead maker. The next day my car will be cover in a dust blanket. Bead maker attracts dust. I live in a city, so no dirt roads around my area or wooded areas. 😢
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.
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:(
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!
I just used it the other day as a drying aid on a car with TW hybrid ceramic spray coating. It left streaks and spots on the car. I sprayed and blow dried the car then wiped down the left over water.
I new set of tires iron deconed them then i used beadmaker on both rims and wheel wells and rubber and i can see the clear difference. I flowed up with a second count and then used a ceramic coating on my wheels and for actual shine I use cover all. beadmaker on glass is untouchable
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?
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?
@@jamestester4561 while I haven’t tried this myself, I believe this is what Matt Moreman does and it should work just fine. Hopefully someone who has tried that can chime in- SBG
You Guy's ever Talk with Larry Casillo of AMMO???? If so, Will Beadmaker work with His Product's? IE, SPIT, Reboot Enamel Coat, His Enamel Coat, And His New WAX that he came out with??? His Product's are GREAT, BUT MAN..... They are Expensive. I use his FROTH "E" Hose-less Wash and I like it a LOT, I'am trying to Narrow My Product's Down to a Bare Minimum! I got toooooo Much Stuff and I need to Limit it to a Couple Product's, Bead Maker Being one of the Product's. And I see NOW, JULY of 2022, The Prices have gone up a Little? (THANKS JOE)!! Any Help is definitely Appreciated.
total noobie here...so when doing my weekly wash...I use Adams detail spray as a drying agent, then 1/month I use their h20 guard and gloss...ive heard bead maker is better...so when would I use it? as a drying aid every wash, or would it replace the h20 guard ? btw my car is not ceramic coated but was clay barred when I bought it 6 weeks ago, thanks
Where can we get the button up P&S shirt?! Would love to get a couple for my work shirts detailing! Also long time P&S user, thank you for making quality products!
Hi Caleb, Sydni here. The button up shirts Kyle and I are wearing are Red Kap work shirts which you can find online and can be customized. These particular ones however are our Official McCalls Detailing Team shirts we wore in Monterey for the 2019 Event.
After all the videos and reviews I decided to give it a try this weekend on my new car. One question I have is how long do you have to let the bead maker dry before applying the paint gloss? Thank you
Just last week we released a new Premium Microfiber Wash- Rags to Riches, with the Rag Company. Go check it out on their website, and we posted a video here on RU-vid showing how to strip BeadMaker out of towels so check our channel for that as well! 👍🏼
I got wind of you from Pan the Organizer . I got Wheeel Cleaner and Bead Maker. Will be using them this weekend . Used wheel cleaner with iK Foam pump was unreal! Tips helped clear up few things too.🚖
I bought those same exact towel I bought the 2 pack I have a charger scatpack can I use one for the whole car and the other one dry or do I need more towels ?
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?
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
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?
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
I finished hand waxing my car yesterday with P21S paste wax. So at this point I'm wondering how Bead Maker plays with this carnauba wax. It also has a fair amount of PPF on the front end, now covered with P21S. Car looks great now, but really want to make it pop with Bead Maker. What are your thoughts?
@@dannyzamudio1252 We like either the Liquid8tor or the Gauntlet from the Rag Co or the Amphibian from AutoFiber. For Bead Maker application we still reccomend the FTW orange towel from The Rag Company
You can use that s**t on everything… It is absolutely amazing. Throw your towels in a bucket with microfiber soap and hand wash them afterwards then dry them ✅👍
Love bead maker. Don’t understand why you guys are wearing watches while detailing. There’s no reason to take any chance of scratching the car with one wrong move of your wrist. If I saw a detailer wearing a watch I’d immediately take my car elsewhere.
LOL the guy with the glasses on his head is clueless! Expert my A$$! He needs to watch some Beadmaker videos from people who know what they are doing! Was this video meant as Comedy?
