Great video, Brian, I think this speaks very well for Bead Maker. To get almost a month on a vehicle that had no other sealant and was exposed to the elements and constant rain for nearly a month is pretty incredible in my book.
UKSportsFan Thank you! I agree this really shows it’s potential. Using it as a stand alone is not what it’s meant for but I thought this would be interesting to try by itself.
Oh, how much I am smiling! Got 2 gallons of Bead Maker myself! Glad that you like it and thank you for the true stand alone test of this great product!!
Phriendlymd You are welcome! I thought it would be interesting to see how long it lasted as a stand alone even though it’s not meant for that. I hope to buy a gallon soon.
I think it still is present, diminished but still helping to bead some and shed. With nothing the paint holds the water longer on the hood but as seen in the video it still is moving faster than bare clear coat. Try washing off the road film and you should see it reacting again, but then again I always use Bead Maker as the final wipe down after each wash.
thomkirby It is there a little bit but diminished enough I need to apply something else. If I didn’t have other videos that needed to be made I would be using this as a drying aid after every wash. I think it’s a great product and the price is even better!
As I said before. Bead maker is great. Been using it for over 3 year's myself. Where I work at our parking lot is nothing but dirt. I only wash it once a month. I just use pearl wash with foam gun then power wash it. Everything comes off even the sap that trees drop. Reapply it over again. Great video as always. I enjoy watching your test on the detail products. Keep it up. Thank you cany wait for the next product you get to test out.
Jaja Hahu I agree it is great! The vehicle has definitely stayed cleaner. Thank you I have a lot of new products to try I just wish all this rain would stop.
Another good one .... I think 3-4 weeks is pretty good for this product . Man , I thought we were getting lots of rain , you win the prize , it’s like Seattle there . Take care.
Cool thank you for making this follow-up video. I plan on using this as a final topper over poly wax/ best of show liquid on my wife's dark metallic silver Buick. I'm excited to see how good it will look. Another great video FAB keep 'em coming!
Nice updates FAB! 4 weeks stand alone with those weather conditions is great. I'd like to know what people are doing in combination with this as a topper. Wonder how well it would do over some Liquid Gloss Poly🤔 Thanks for the updates!
I'll let you know. I plan on using this as a final topper on top of liquid gloss poly topped with best of show liquid. I'm pumped to see how good it looks on a dark metallic silver Buick
@@davidwight4376 now that's a combo!!👍 definitely keep me posted. I have been wanting to try the Best of Show over Liquid poly too. That silver should POP.!
Ed Ruiz Thank you! It’s a good product for the price and a month is not a bad thing in my opinion when using as a topper. Also in real-world situations you would be using it when drying the car so the layer would always be there.
Love bead maker. I use it every 2 weeks and my truck looks shiny in between washes. It makes my truck look clean from a distance even though it is dirty from up close.
Brian, can you test Mannett's Show Stopper (blue stuff) as a stand alone, also as a topper to Mckee's 37 Hydro blue? It works really nice on glass both inside and outside.
Nice video again. I think BM is an excellent product. It is made exactly for that. Increase gloss, extremely smooth and to protect paint between washes. Many people think of something different and have seen a lot of negative criticism from BM. I really can not understand what these people expect from a product of that level and that price. I definitely chose BM as the protector of my Crystal Light Serum + EXO
Marcelo Poppe Thank you! I agree it is an excellent product with a great price point. It’s not expected to replace a wax but to get you protection and gloss in between washes like you stated. I don’t know why people think it supposed to replace a base wax.
I did exactly the same thing to my wife's SUV by just applying beadmaker and nothing else...4wks is the durabilty...I'll just keep topping it after each wash, no problem with me...Good info/vid..
I liked the 4 updates in one video. How do you feel only lasting a month? I guess in the real world it would be applied again when drying the vehicle to keep it protected. Still love it and buying a gallon?
Jason Davis Thank you! I’m perfectly fine with it lasting only a month. Normally I would want to use it as a drain aid but for their review and updates I didn’t want to wash it and use it as a drying aid so we could all see how long it lasted with one coat. I will be buying it by the gallon soon also
Is your recommendation of this product as high now as it was when you first used it? I purchased a 16 ounce bottle of beadmaker based on other reviews before you put your review out. After you did your review I bought a gallon. I haven't tried the product yet but plan on doing so after I wash my car that I freshly waxed last week.
kawtriples oh yeah definitely still recommend it. In the real world you will use it as a drying aid after the base layer and the protection will last a very long time until you stop reapplying it. For the price this product cost and ease-of-use it’s definitely worth it.
Thanks for the video!!! Got a question, seems like a lot of people complain about Bead Maker attracting dust, would like to hear your opinion on that. Thank you!
Thanks for the update! You mentioned that you didn't put Bead Maker on the front windshield; is that because you already had the Griots on there or because you don't recommend it for the front? Just wondering how well it would hold up when using the wiper blades. If not the Bead Maker, what product would you suggest for the front windshield?
Geese1 You are welcome! I didn’t put it on the windshield because I already had Griot’s glass sealant on it. I have heard others say beat maker on the windshield is fine and works great. I really like the Griot’s personally.
I really like the hydrophobics of Bead Maker and prefer the way it repels water over some other products I have used. It isn't the most chemically resistant for obvious reasons, it isn't meant to be. It's extremely easy to use, fast and extremely easy to buff off. And CHEAP.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing awesome...I myself tried beadmaker, and just since last weekend I applied a pretty heavy coat on my vehicle after wash/clay/compound...but since a week past doesn't seem like water is beading anymore, but the seal n shine on another note, from other review videos...it seems promising and could really take a beating 😂
Good update, its good to see the results in vidies like this as opposed to just application. Im a big Bead Maker fan & have used nearly a gallon but here in the UK we have a product called Done & Dusted Si Edition by Bouncer's. If you can get it in the US then you have to give it a try. In my opinion it knocks Bead Maker into 2nd spot. Check out my review on application and again after a month on my channel
I believe the Apex Detail channel did an F11 review. In my opinion it’s insanely overpriced, $32 for a gallon of Bead Maker versus $200+ a gallon for F11.
FAB Automotive Detailing yeah bro, i saw you did that with the meguiars ceramic wax. doesn’t hurt to try 😁 my random guess it might work better with beadmaker since it’s formulated to work ok with water.

for being so cheap and so easy as a drying aid well worth it for the gallon!
I wish they sold ice wax by the gallon lol
BadpewterZ I agree 💯

gkc booth Thank you! I think 3-4 weeks is good also. This is the wettest spring that I can remember in my lifetime here in Indiana!
I need to try Beadmaker. I want to see in person the gloss & feel the slickness everyone is going nuts over. Great update video👍👍
IntervalePC You definitely need to try it! Thanks
traffic film and dirt can mask hydrophobic properties .. just curious was Jeep washed prior to week 4 video? thanks Brian
Nice video rains here in Ireland just as much keep the videos coming 👍
Cool thank you for making this follow-up video. I plan on using this as a final topper over poly wax/ best of show liquid on my wife's dark metallic silver Buick. I'm excited to see how good it will look. Another great video FAB keep 'em coming!
David Wight You are welcome! Oh Polywax is my favorite sealant. It will look great! Enjoy
Another great video. About 4 weeks is what I had been hearing. But with cost and ease of applying tat is really good
Camaro Time Thank you! I agree price point is great durability is decent for the price and the gloss levels are amazing!
Cool my gallon of bead maker got delivered today! Nice weekly update
Me too 👍
JM Mustangs Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks for the Bead Maker longevity test FAB Automotive Detailing! Raining all over the upper Midwest this spring! ~Tim~🙂
Timothy Kunze You are welcome! Yes I am so tired of the rain I can’t wait for it to stop I have a lot of products I need to get to.

Connor X I thought 4 weeks was great also since we have had so much rain. Definitely worth the price! Thanks
👍🏻👍🏻 Exactly what I find 4 weeks then I put another coat. Can’t beat the shine.
Kenny D Absolutely the Shine is amazing!
I use it as a drying aid after the weekly wash on my own car. Bead Maker even makes white cars sexy! 🤣

Without the decal and front plate I’d never know that was a Jeep! All jokes haha, I love bead maker! I buy it by the gallon
We made sure it was obvious. 😂 Beadmaker is great
Finally a real life test. Thank you
to cayo You are welcome!
Are you coming out with a video like this on the Dakota with Meguiar's HCW?
theplayernkc I already did some updates on the Dakota but did them individually. I think I will start doing updates like this.
It was cool how you followed the water down the hood during the week two video I caught that good job
Rishard Life Thanks I like to try to show exactly what you can expect if it’s on your car.
Have you thought about trading your truck in for a boat? (23 days of rain...) 😁
@68Camaro RS/SS
Woooooow!!! 🌧🚤
ldtriton I’m starting to think a boat is a great idea! 😂

👍✌️🇺🇸
B Stewart ExecutiveCarCare thank you! No washes in between because we’ve had nothing but rain. So I guess mother nature washed it several times! 😂
4 Weeks is really great, very cool video...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM I agree! Thanks
Now that's a good spray sealant
kia bass 879 I agree!
Love bead maker for a once a month spray can't beat it for the price .
Ouzo Lou Garage I agree 💯!

Nice FAB P&S beadmaker works good by itself. Pretty good stuff if you ask me
HOOF HEARTED Thanks I agree!
In my world, Virginia, I want sheeting.
DPC Amor last long . Just do a 50% coating every 2 months.
Love it. You can coat everything . Cheap for SI02.
Charlie Porch I have not used any DPC products but have seen some good videos on them.
Wax Mode did a DPC comparison video . I wasn’t impressed . Plus , I wouldn’t buy the last bottle of water on earth, from its owner .
Can this or NanoSkin be used on top of a ceramic coating?
Sean Mcmurray Beadmaker can be but I have never used Nanoskin so I can’t speak to that.
Use it as a drying aid during maintenance washes and you won’t have to reapply a full sealant coat
Should do a turtle wax seal n shine vs beadmaker
Dj1Kreationz It’s already on my to do list so stay tuned!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing awesome...I myself tried beadmaker, and just since last weekend I applied a pretty heavy coat on my vehicle after wash/clay/compound...but since a week past doesn't seem like water is beading anymore, but the seal n shine on another note, from other review videos...it seems promising and could really take a beating 😂

Great update buddy tfs
onr detailing news Thank you!
Appreciate this dude 👊🏼
Andy G You are welcome!
Bead maker or TW Ice seal and shine?
Well I guess Bead maker is a topper/sealant and seal and shine is a "hybrid". Do you think I can put the seal and shine on top of collinite?
Jose Taco Yea Seal N Shine will work on any wax or sealant. Both products are toppers. I plan on doing a side by side video on both soon
😯 Thats awesome!!👍🏻👍🏻
MNpicker Thanks!
windshield wipers take the product off the glass after one rainfall for me

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing 👍
Nice! Maybe the water does not have aluminum, strontium, other minerals like it does in other states when they spray those chemtrails. 😃
D Sylver Thanks! Our water here is pretty hard I’m sure it has stuff in it that’s not good for it.
P&S Beadmaker is the new F11. Come to think of it I haven't seen a "trusted" TH-camr do a test on F11. Maybe it's good stuff.
I believe the Apex Detail channel did an F11 review. In my opinion it’s insanely overpriced, $32 for a gallon of Bead Maker versus $200+ a gallon for F11.
Lars Dahl I have never used F11 but this stuff really is good!
Potential test. After washing, put beadmaker plus water into a foam cannon, spray it on the car and dry. I wonder how itll work
Soap A Hmmm sounds like a good test video!
FAB Automotive Detailing yeah bro, i saw you did that with the meguiars ceramic wax. doesn’t hurt to try 😁 my random guess it might work better with beadmaker since it’s formulated to work ok with water.
Soap A I guess we will have to find out! 😂
Man talk about real world testing 🤣 the elements presented themselves 🤣
Thanks!
Now you can say Bead Maker fast .
Jim Flanagan Haha Yep!
