G'Day FAB, I've been using Bowden's Own products for a while now and have not been disappointed in any of there products, and now have converted nearly all my friends & family to this bloody great Aussie product, (yes i am an Aussie & bloody proud) keep up with the videos enjoy watching them.
Brilliant product bought it last week for my black Kia Cerato. Brilliant Finnish. I was having all sorts of problems with the black paint. Now it's solved with this BOWDENS afterglow..❤️❤️
Gloss 😎😎😎👍👍 The product didn't really give the best beading but lack of beads doesn't really mean no protection. Glad you gave it another try & not just leave as it was👍 Some people would've just bashed the product😒 Great video Brian & enjoy your 4th✌
You'd need to mist it on and it will bead right away. Pressure washer will just make it sheet. If you want to see really good Bead Porn use the Bowden's Own Bead Machine. Afterglow is essentially a drying aid with some good stuff. Bead Machine is a sealant that makes it slick, awesome beading that stands up to graphene products without having Si02 or Ti02, almost all their products are pH Neutral, no salts, and are biodegradable. They have some really great products.
Man you gotta try Bowden's Own for everything. Absolute top notch quality products, and they have some cheeky names for some of them too! Everyone I know enjoys Three Way, and their 2 newer drying aid sealants called Wet Dreams and Happy Ending are both a lot of fun, as I'm sure you can imagine. Wheely Clean is perfect, especially if you can find the limited edition bacon scented version too!
We're currently using Formula 4 Spray Wax by Superior. 20 bucks a gallon and makes 11 gallons. Goes from flat water on to paint to crazy beading which makes for easy drying. Couldn't believe how well it worked, especially for the price.
It looks good from the standpont of adding gloss and would be a great way to mske the car look great to impress dads when they visit. I also went to the webite and checked out the shipping just to see what it is and they want forty seven bucks to ship. Great video, it was a lot of fun.
Love the gloss, when I finish with my bead maker I might have to try some. Have a great 4th of July to you and all the F A B family stay safe from a rainy west coast of Ireland
After doing a good maintenance wash, I like to use AMP by The Last Coat as a drying agent. I literally give a clue of sprays per panel and everything drys so easily and tons of shine. It makes it possible to eliminate waterspots as you dry.
I found it interesting that it didn't bead up right after application, then after curing it did. I'm still learning the details, some brands put in an "additive" to make beads, from what I understand it's not necessarily helping out, at least not in the long term, its for marketing because most people are conditioned from decades of wax being the only protection available that beading equates to protection, which present day can or cannot be true. The fact it beaded after curing indicates to me that the beading is due to quality ingredients, and should have some longevity. Waxmode can probably explain this better than me.
I have found that boss gloss works better as a drying aid, I have been using afterglow for my interior plastics, leather, dash, doors, APC etc. As part of my monthly wash I always use: wheely clean, bugger off, snow foam. Most of the bowdens stuff is amazing. Lazy wax doesn't work at all
Cool looking product. Just like the Hydro Silex. It got super slick the longer you waited and let it cure. Now here is a question for you and the many makers of detailing products that watch. At what point are we so worried about gloss and beading do we lose our protection? I see it a lot especially on the products at the bargain stores and online. SUPER gloss. Bead porn. Long lasting water repellancy. But when you look on the back no where does is say anything about uv protection, clear coat safe, and so on.........I mean I can take a stick of butter and rub it on the car. Will get killer beading and gloss. but there is no protection from anything. So at what point are we doing more harm than good> And this has nothing to do with this product. just a general question.
yo mate. Aussie here. That gear's from my home town on the coast here. After Glows a drying aid. You want bead porn? then get the product called...funnily enough...Bead Machine and watch Bowdens Own YT channel for how its used and info. I think you'll like it. Cheers bro. Hope you are safe and all is ok.
Hey man how's it going hope you and family is safe .... I simply unplug from all social media .... and will continue to do so for the rest of summer ... its very relaxing and worry free from everything going on ... Hello to all subscribers in the FAB family stay safe
Hennessy * Hey man great to see you! I will be unplugging from all social media this week also as we are on vacation and I don’t plan on looking at my phone a whole lot. That’s what I do when we go on vacation it is nice and relaxing. Thanks for stopping in and saying hello.
Yea your sheet did not work with no protection haha. Thats how i use Beadmaker. Damp towel application, buff away streaks with a Rag company FTW. Do you know if that has si02 and/or Polymer based protection?
Great show Thanks. Just want to know if your still happy with your Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SL Sunlight 400 Lumen. I will be buying it very soon or the new one Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SLMAX Sunlight 500. Thank you
Dino from montreal quebec Thank you! I absolutely love my Astro Pneumatic 50SL. I have had it for close to 5 years and it still works great. If something ever happens to it I will buy another one no problem.
Looking forward to the reviews of their other products as I'm in Tassie, Oz. They have almost everything covered for car detailing. Some clever naming of their products... funny you said "that's a wet spot" LOLOL (not sure you actually realised)
Im from Aus and ive used a full bottle over 12 month period. Yes Gloss performance is nice especially on black however most drying aids or QDs do the same. Major product problems: 1) it streaks a little in cold weather when its dewy 2) there is too much effort involved in sheeting each panel and applying with a wet towel and then buffing off 3) it is a poor sealant )4 its over priced 5) protection is very poor and doesnt last long - less than 4-6 weeks) and as Fabs video has proven - the beading is shit.
FAB Automotive Detailing I was really disappointed with the beading , since they were touting it, like it was the next coming of Christ. I watched some guys from Aus. review it and it wasnt any better. Have a good night and week. Take care.
Forensic detailing channel did a shootout and the top gloss numbers came from tac systems shinee wax (which Brian from apex loves as a topper) which is next to impossible to get and slightly below was gyeon Quick detailer. Not talking about beading go or durability either just gloss on gloss meter. Geon is pricy but not angel wax high gloss boutique pricy. I'd like to see geon qd vs bead maker vs angel wax high gloss for budget vs $$$ shootout
Bowden just got new product now. It’s called bead Machine. Just came out. I got 2 bottles of bead Machine. I try bead maker so will be good to see if it will be better then bead maker That after glow been out for sometime now so there could be better product out there then it
You flood the panel to remove excess water, IF your car already has some protection. This is NOT a standalone protection product. It's a drying aid/gloss enhancer/topper.
If you read the directions or watch the instructional video - it actually requires 3 passes with the microfibre. You mentioned it, but didn’t do it as per instructional video. Thx 🙏
Hmmm, better than Beadmaker...eh? I just might have to take that Pepsi challenge! I will say that gloss did come through on video. Looked great! Great video FAB. Happy 4th of July brother to you and your family!
Awesome video. That's some GLOSS! More gloss than beadmaker!? He said it folks haha. Would have liked to see some bead porn 🤷♂️ LOL that's ok though. The gloss is fantastic. How's the slickness though?? I don't think you ever mentioned it? As always, nice job brother!!👍🏻
PapaSmurf918 Thanks brother! Yep I said it and it was insane in person. The bead porn was a let down for sure. It’s definitely not as slick as Beadmaker but I have felt worse.
sheesh! nice review but what a poor product! a friend just gave me to try it, will see how it stacks against beadmaker, duragloss and megs quick wax. and maybe even butter wet wax for looks comparison!
Very cool to see products from other countries. Thanks to Brenton for sending to you to share with us. Insane gloss!
Ryan Mulhearn I think it was cool also! The gloss was insane in person.

Summer Salt They sent me several products after this video I hope to try soon.
Great video Brian great shine on that jeep something different to try 😎 product
Robert Knapp Thank you! The Jeep was very glossy.
We're currently using Formula 4 Spray Wax by Superior.
20 bucks a gallon and makes 11 gallons.
Goes from flat water on to paint to crazy beading which makes for easy drying.
Couldn't believe how well it worked, especially for the price.
Cajun Kevin I need to try some Superior products. Thanks for the Info
Yes, superiorproducts has a lot of great products for car detailing. The send you lots of samples for 14.99.
It looks good from the standpont of adding gloss and would be a great way to mske the car look great to impress dads when they visit. I also went to the webite and checked out the shipping just to see what it is and they want forty seven bucks to ship. Great video, it was a lot of fun.
goochtree Yes it is a quick way to add gloss after a wash! That’s crazy for shipping. Thank you
Love the gloss, when I finish with my bead maker I might have to try some. Have a great 4th of July to you and all the F A B family stay safe from a rainy west coast of Ireland
Eamon Kelly The gloss was amazing in person! Thank you
Great video buddy. What product did you use on the plastic trim?
After doing a good maintenance wash, I like to use AMP by The Last Coat as a drying agent. I literally give a clue of sprays per panel and everything drys so easily and tons of shine. It makes it possible to eliminate waterspots as you dry.
Happy 4th to you Brian and all FAB subscribers!🇺🇸
Andy Bell Thank you and Happy 4th to you also! 🇺🇸

Jay Zstr I found it interesting also. I know what you mean about not beading right away.
FAB Automotive Detailing product needs 15 minutes for the polymer to cure.
I have found that boss gloss works better as a drying aid, I have been using afterglow for my interior plastics, leather, dash, doors, APC etc.
As part of my monthly wash I always use: wheely clean, bugger off, snow foam. Most of the bowdens stuff is amazing.
Lazy wax doesn't work at all
Bowden’s Own Bead Machine beads like crazy. @Jimbo did a review recently.
Thank you for providing excellent, informative videos.
Man that shine is awesome
James Higginbotham Yes it is! I didn’t expect the gloss because I was kind of fixated on seeing bead porn. 😂
Hilarious the seriousnes of, "I'm not seeing the bead porn."
Ree B Just a little disappointed because I wanted to see the happy beads! 😂
Beading doesn’t come from afterglow... it comes from wet dreams, happy ending, bead machine, Beut beads. :)
Cool looking product. Just like the Hydro Silex. It got super slick the longer you waited and let it cure. Now here is a question for you and the many makers of detailing products that watch.

Camaro Time I agree with what you are saying that’s why I say the water test doesn’t mean anything. Beading is cool but doesn’t mean protection.
yo mate. Aussie here. That gear's from my home town on the coast here.
After Glows a drying aid.
You want bead porn?
then get the product called...funnily enough...Bead Machine and watch Bowdens Own YT channel for how its used and info.
I think you'll like it.
Cheers bro.
Hope you are safe and all is ok.
Great vid man!! Gloss is a good thing 👍🏼
Happy 4th to you and your family!!
MNpicker Thank you and yes it is! You to brother! 🇺🇸

Thats how i use Beadmaker. Damp towel application, buff away streaks with a Rag company FTW. Do you know if that has si02 and/or Polymer based protection?
Ken-Jeeper Yeah I was a little disappointed but man is it glossy! It is just a spray sealant with no SIO2.
Bowdens boss gloss is amazing

Apply directly to wet panel, I dont follow the directions. It's a drying aid, use it like one.
Happy 4th FAB.
Dylan Riggs Thank you and Happy 4th to you also! 🇺🇸
Thanks B , crazy shine , but I guess it doesn’t matter, since we can’t get it here.
Take care.
I agree and it’s a bummer but stuff like this is Interesting to see what other countries have.
FAB Automotive Detailing I was really disappointed with the beading , since they were touting it, like it was the next coming of Christ. I watched some guys from Aus. review it and it wasnt any better. Have a good night and week. Take care.
G17 I was disappointed also but the gloss is a great trade off. I have more of their products I plan to try and see if they are any better.
FAB Automotive Detailing I look forward to the upcoming reviews. Take care.
Gotta love Bowden's the aussies dont play around
Hope you the wife and kids have a explosive happy fourth. Jeep looks great.
Michael Campbell Thanks man! Stay safe and enjoy our freedoms while watching fireworks.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing and while our freedoms last.
Michael Campbell Yep that’s the scary part!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing yes sir it is
Try Bowdens Own bead machine and then wet dreams and I GUARANTEE not only will you get shine but you get beading.
Yeah its a drying aid. You need a sealant, wax etc then use it when doing maintenance washes
Forensic detailing channel did a shootout and the top gloss numbers came from tac systems shinee wax (which Brian from apex loves as a topper) which is next to impossible to get and slightly below was gyeon Quick detailer. Not talking about beading go or durability either just gloss on gloss meter.
Geon is pricy but not angel wax high gloss boutique pricy.
I'd like to see geon qd vs bead maker vs angel wax high gloss for budget vs $$$ shootout
Bowden just got new product now. It’s called bead Machine. Just came out. I got 2 bottles of bead Machine. I try bead maker so will be good to see if it will be better then bead maker That after glow been out for sometime now so there could be better product out there then it
Darren M I saw Jimbo’s video on bead machine and it looked pretty good. Beadmaker is still a favorite of mine.
Yes I love bead maker I used it on one of my cars and it’s still looking good. I will see how this bead Machine goes
You flood the panel to remove excess water, IF your car already has some protection. This is NOT a standalone protection product. It's a drying aid/gloss enhancer/topper.
If you read the directions or watch the instructional video - it actually requires 3 passes with the microfibre.
You mentioned it, but didn’t do it as per instructional video. Thx 🙏
Great Aussie product
a great video will have to go buy some.
U gotta check out all there range from snow blow to wheely clean that no longer smells like arse
Hmmm, better than Beadmaker...eh? I just might have to take that Pepsi challenge! I will say that gloss did come through on video. Looked great! Great video FAB. Happy 4th of July brother to you and your family!
Phriendlymd It was hard to say but as far as gloss is concerned yes. Thanks man happy 4th to you also brother! 🇺🇸
Nice. You need to get you a gloss reader
You've gotta try Bead Machine
Better late than never. But Happy 4th of July!!! Be safe while you're out. HOOF OUT!!
Hoof Hearted Thanks bro! Hope you had a great 4th!
Happy 4th of July, stay healthy and safe !🥳🇺🇸🎉✨🎆
Humberto Roche Garcia Thank you and you too!
Gloss without protection= Show stopper 😆
Ken-Jeeper Yes it does! I have show stopper and it is crazy glossy!
Combo’d with Bead Maker. 😍
happy ending is better. and easier to put on
Awesome video. That's some GLOSS! More gloss than beadmaker!? He said it folks haha. Would have liked to see some bead porn 🤷♂️ LOL that's ok though. The gloss is fantastic. How's the slickness though?? I don't think you ever mentioned it? As always, nice job brother!!👍🏻
PapaSmurf918 Thanks brother! Yep I said it and it was insane in person. The bead porn was a let down for sure. It’s definitely not as slick as Beadmaker but I have felt worse.
The cure time is 15mins with afterglow! With 2 layers! Then you might get some bead porn 😂
That after glow is 3 years old just found out
I found it on eBay. You will have to really want it. $29.98 plus $68.98 for shipping. So the actual $100.00 question is, is worth $100.00? Lol.
Jimbo reviewed it was not too impressed ether 👍
eds1990sporty Yeah I saw his review. His was a different product and did bead better then this did.
Here is a link to the offical bowdens video.
th-cam.com/video/YIS83jO4qzk/w-d-xo.html
What do you mean you never Heard of it. I told you about this Company about 6 to 12 months back. Lol
Darren M I hadn’t ever heard of it before it was sent to me last year.
It’s been out over 2 years now there is new and better stuff out now.
Lovely Jubbly, shame about the beading results though.
paul taylor Yeah but the gloss is insane in person.
Nice drying aid with excellent gloss. Think afterwash detailer. The bead porn and mega protection claims are hyperbolic.
I agree the gloss is great but not the bead porn!
Bowden car cleaning products work better mate with Ford's .... 😀
Its a wonder our awesome AUSSIE products didn’t wipe the paint of the shitty jeep. 😂😂😂👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
14:18 TWSS 😄
rsxfreak79 I’m not sure what that’s stands for?
FAB Automotive Detailing that’s what she said
rsxfreak79 😂 got ya now! 😂 🤣 😂
Oh would you look at that 👍🏼 Gloss bomb, beading not so much - the bead porn seems to be amatuer bead porn 🤭
Jock It adds a lot of gloss but yeah the bead porn was a bit of a disappointment!
sheesh! nice review but what a poor product! a friend just gave me to try it, will see how it stacks against beadmaker, duragloss and megs quick wax. and maybe even butter wet wax for looks comparison!
Thanks! Yes there are much better products out there for sure.
Comparing a drying aid to synthetic sealants? Why would you. It's an outstanding product for what it's designed for, a drying aid.
