Bead maker for me..I started using it recently and love the results..Stopped using D156 and Duragloss Aquawax after using bead maker..Car stays cleaner even after rainfall..
What I love about the majority of Meguiar products is that they can be applied in direct sunlight. My garage is small and my truck, 2017 F250, is a large truck! I have to be strategic with any detailing with this vehicle.
One of the least expensive, well producing one of the best shine combinations I have seen is Turtle Wax Seal N shine as your base coat. Followed up by P&S bead maker. These are both polymers sealants, so the end result is excellent durability/ compatibility and Beyond insane shine!! And in the end that's what we're all after.😎
I've never used FF but I've purchased 3 gallons of Beadmaker! I've never felt this kind of slickness on my paint ever! This product is truly a gamechanger!
i just got my one pint of bead maker in... still waiting for my jescar power lock plus and colinite 845 to come in be for i get to use my bead maker. my question is you said 3 gallons do we realy have to use that much product i was hopeing 1 gallon would last washing 2 cars every to weeks for a year?
@@Laba1011 I've only used just under a gallon but I rinseless wash my car religiously and use BEADMAKER as a drying aid. The other 2 gallons are shelved waiting for their time to shine 👍😜
We need more channels like this! I just subscribed! I love watching scientific comparisons that are not advertised products being pushed on people like other channels
I used bead maker thoroughly after washing with car wet as dry assistant. I can tell that after 24 hrs glossiness is notably improved. My car has a fairly well mantained paint (2017 Mazda 3). Difference is very notable and the beading as well. Very good product I would recommend. Just use a lot of product the first time, I used half the bottle (1 pint)
Let Beadmaker cure and then top it with Fast Finish,....you can thank me later. Amazing duo to work with for those who have not tried. I use it on my 17 F250 that is in hot desert sun everyday all day and the durability and ease of maintenance is exceptional.
Hi Brian! I have Seal N Shine on my car, I'm planning to maintain very carefully to take the most out it. The next products I have already and planning on using them : Meguiars UFF, Ultimate Quick Wax, Synthetic Xpress Wax. What Can I put as a topper that it can make a great combo with Seal N Shine. Thanks for your attention
I'm a Megs fan however the BM has my attention these days. After using about 1/2 the small bottle I bought I went for the gallon. Great deal IMHO. I'ts been raining here quite a bit and the BM is holding up nicely. I saw some comments elsewhere about BM attracting dust. I have not experienced that in the few months I've been using. Thank you Brian for the great info you put out for all of us.
Just bought beadmaker today for the winter here in Utah over Sonax PNS. Too cold to properly wash so touchless washes it will have to be till it warms up again.
Beadmaker defiantly deeper and darker. Fast Finish looks "greyer", almost as if it hasn't been completely removed. I put Fast Finish on a new surface after decontamination, clay then IPA and it looks great. I can imagine how great Beadmaker must look and FEEL, well according to the Pan The Organizer as he pretty much fell in love with it lol. I'm still getting excellent beading on the FF after 6 weeks with all kinds of weather including lots of snow/cold, so for the money seems to be a solid product. Looking forward to giving Beadmaker a try. Thanks for posting and GREAT channel!
Bead Maker gives a deeper gloss than Fast Finish. For applying after weekly maintenance car washes with a traffic film soap like Purple Power, Bead Maker is the winner. It is far less expensive than Fast Finish, gives a better gloss. Fast Finish will last longer than :Bead Maker (which is designed to last only about -4-6 weeks versus up to a year with Fast Finish). But the longevity of Fast Finish is wasted when you strip it away with frequent traffic film removing soap like Purple Power. The good part of this comparison is that both will help protect your car’s paint. So you can’t go wrong with either product. And if you do less frequent car washes, Fast Finish is the better choice. It is also far quicker to apply and use - with no cure time unlike the 8 hour cure time for Bead Maker (before exposing it to a harsh environment). The slickness of Bead Maker makes it great for removing bug guts.
Fast finish all day! Hands down the easiest sealant I’ve ever used. I can get around my small Miata in about 3 minutes and it’s a true paint sealant. The shine and gloss isn’t the best but I take care of my paint so it looks good anyway 😎
Used UFF as a base seal - just did BM after a wash - wooo ahhh makes my new white M5 glow!!! Is hard to get white really reflective- but this BM worked!
Bead Maker is the clear winner in this test. I've been using it for several months, and will soon be ordering a third gallon. I admit that I overuse the product, but I believe it's even more effective when layered. Bead Maker is the best paint protectant I've ever used.
Bread maker is cheaper and had better performance. I couldn't tell the difference in shine. The Meg's can be bought in a store possibly, so points for that.
Thoroughly enjoy your comparison vids, great work! I agree with most in that Bead Maker appears to have a slight edge after the tests, and they both held up better than expected to the various torturing.
Glad I found this video! I’ve been wondering which of these two products would work best on my car which has Powerlock sealant followed by Collinite 845. Was thinking of using one of these as a topper. Thoughts?
Robert Marsh Beadmaker is a much better topper. I use it over my ceramic coat as a topper for a sacrificial layer and it works great. My favorite drying aid for sure, once you get the heavy initial application down.
I did the "ultimate" combo powerlock, collinite, bead maker on one of my orange colored cars and my god have heads turned since lol it's a badass combo
I have been using the UFF and have had good results with it. I found it at Wal Mart on sale for $7.99 so I purchased 2 bottles. The Bead Maker is a nice price. I love trying new products and will try this out.
Both products look very easy to use. I think Bead Maker was a bit deeper or richer in color but hard to tell for sure. They both took a good beating for what they are, a sprayed on product. Although so close, I think I'd lean towards Bead maker. For one you can use as a drying aid and possibly after drying go over again like a spray wax, much lighter than 1st application and always have some form of protection. Thank you Mr. Brian, another fine job showing people like myself different thing's and approaches.
@@apexdetail85 How would you apply both? Like 10 hours apart? FF over bead or vice versa, as I seen somewhere that bead can be applied over most anything.
I've been using FF. Stupid easy to use and for $12 online.. a no brainer... so just on price/ease of use.. Megs for the win. So easy to follow up with another coat later on.
Meg's hands down. They both stood up about the same, but Meg's is just so easy to apply couldn't use anything else. Been using Fast Finish about a year and the stuff works, I just
I have to say beadmaker has a little more depth. Both did well in the test. I recently bought beadmaker and have to say I’m extremely happy with the results and it’s price point. Keep up the good work
I used Fast Finish because they have a 5$ off coupon making it about 6$ on Amazon so I bought 2. It works great and is very easy to apply. On lighter colored vehicles, its actually hard to see where its been applied but as long as the microfiber is damp, youre apply product. Ive done 2 coats on 3 vehicles and am just below half a can. Having said that, Ill be probably be switching to the gallon of beadmaker (30$) with my Zep spray bottles when it runs out because of your video. Thanks.
I’ve been using the Lucas oil spray wax, the one in the blue bottle. I don’t know man, seems to last longer than D156, might be a good match up with these two.
Pan the Organizer compared P & S Bead Maker with Meguair's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. A single application of Meguair's All Purpose Cleaner buffed in with a microfiber towel completely knocked out P & S Bead Maker while Meguair's Hybrid Ceramic Wax was considerably weakened but still survived. Buffing would emulate WIND FRICTION which is a primary real life remover of sealants and wax. Interestingly, Apex doesn't apply friction until sponging in Iron X. But the road oil that was applied before this step may have protected both P & S Bead Maker and MeGuair's Ultimate Fast Finish from the effect of the sponge.
I watched that video. I agree it weakened my opinion of BeadMaker. All he did was use some APC and it was gone gone gone. Even so, i detail my car every week, so not that its going to affect me. But all these promises of lasting however long. (not just P&S but all of them....) hmmmmmmm
UFF has done well for me, price is right and it is a breeze to work with. Beadmakers gloss was a bit better, and it looked to edge out UFF on durability. Still using UFF, will try Beadmaker.
@@apexdetail85 It's on the order sheet for next month, hearing to many good things. The deep gloss intensifier is what's pushing it over the top for me.
FF seems to be a little more durable and I do use it including on leather. Beadmaker is always in my arsenal but not as a stand alone. I use it for a topper and after a maintenance wash as a drying aid. Love it!
Great review brain I never pay a automatic car wash to stretch my car a n i like the bead maker but I will stick with my hydrosilex have 5 coats of hydro on my camaro an 4 coats on my gsxr 1000 an it's been 8 months an it works awesome
Just purchased Bead maker, I do have fast finish have been using Car Pro reload mixed with echo wash and distilled water and its pretty awesome. Thanks tho great video.
How long do you let the 'test chemicals' dwell? (like oil, purple power, etc.?) Do you do a UV test to for baking in the sun? Just curious. Really like your stuff so far. first video I'm seeing.
I usually use a spray wax like Turtle wax Ice or Eagle One Marine with Caranuba spray after a wash. Can I apply bead maker after or should I skip the spray wax? I'm just trying to get the glossiest look I can! Not sure of the spray wax would mess up the bead maker?
They both look roughly the same so I think the tie breaker would be longevity. Which one lasts longer? It would be great if you could also do some longevity testing.
hi. I just saw this video. Another one that is well done,. If I use beadmaker, when I want to use a rinseless wash can i use wolfgang uber as a rinseless wash and a a quick detailer as well.
I use fast finish once every 3 months. I wash my wife's car once a week. After every wash, I use Meguiar's X-Press Spray Wax for added protection. After 3 months. I use Fast Finish again. Repeat my routine. I will be using an iron remover for the first time soon. Then polish paint for the first time.
Sorry I know it's off topic but have you used bill hamber car wash or foamer they are supposedly on akline side and car pro reset I am just curious since I have these as well as regular ph car washes would you use bilt hamber all time or car pro reset or just once in a while
Great thorough test. Both look like excellent productsFor ease of application its definitley FF.Both show excellent water sheeting and beading protection.Comes down to cost and time to apply application.Durbility seems to edge Bead but al around FF gets the nod since you'll be reapplying it anyway.
Out of those two products I’d would choose UFF simply because of the cure time. My car lives outside and there is no guarantee that it would stay dry for 6hrs. I’ve actually just used Sonax hybrid machine polish topped with Sonax PNS this week on my car. UFF and PNS are very similar products. I will be using Sonax BSD to top this after maintenance washes.
For me, Bead maker wins. Check out the sds on both products and you’ll see that BM is safer to use. It pretty much has no hazardous ingredients. Meguiars fast finish on the other hand. 2 on health scale, causes damage to organs: cardiovascular system, extremely flammable aerosol etc etc
If you're sniffing it daily sure it's a bad thing, but you're spraying on a car every what......once every 2 months? You inhale more things daily then inhaling that aerosol.
@@Voltis-5 I see your point. , But that's also kinda of the point , your not just inhailing this as a stand alone product , if you can remove one or more harmful things from the already long list of harmful inhailants we're exposed to wouldn't that be a good thing specially if you can get the same results¿?.. not to mention if your in the detail business
It'd be great to see Sonax BSD thrown into the mix to see how it compares to these 2! Maybe for another video! Thanks for another very interesting video.
Great video. Maybe one of the most useful and topical considering how big bead maker is getting. Both products seem to do a great job and personally I've been a fan of fast finish for years. I recommend it to my customers to use periodically in between my visits and it's cool to see that it really can take some abuse. Thanks for putting in the time. I'm sure it will help many consumers.
@@tylough That's true. I suppose it would have been just under 2 years since I think I first got my hands on it near Thanksgiving of 2016. For some reason it felt longer until I really thought about it lol. Either way, I've enjoyed using it for the duration it's been out. People assume waxing is a royal pain, but when you can recommend something that's affordable and works and only takes maybe 15 minutes to do the whole car it makes it an attainable goal to keep their vehicle in good shape.
So for all who are experienced with one or both of these, how long in normal conditions would these last on cars parked outside, normal washing, etc. And any experience with topping these with any waxes?
Apex Detail do half the hood with Meguiars Fast Finish then add Bead Maer on top let it cure just to see if that enhances gloss even more, then on the other half backwards do Bead Maker then add Meguiars Fas Finish on top to see if that make is gloss even more. @Apex Detail Thanks
Thumbs up simply for the sheer evil genius of having multiple spray bottles of contaminants. The OCD is strong with this one. And I love. Thanks for another dope upload and comparison.
Hi Brian, thanks for the great video here. I was wondering if it is okay for me to apply a sealant directly onto an unwashed/slightly rinsed car, please? How much difference would it make, please?
I am using Meguiar's on one of my vehicles and it is doing pretty good after 2 months. I will say it is very easy to apply and remove. Will be stepping up to Angelwax Enigma QED this fall for winter protection on both my cars. Thanks for the great video I think you get a kick out of these torture tests of products :) Take care
I finally bought and am testing Megs UFF on my DD which sits outside 24/7, and durability has been disappointing for me. Adding another layer is quick and easy, I just expected more.
Hi. I have a question. After using beadmaker the next time I clean the car, can I use wolfgang uber as a no rinse wash or as a quick detailer or will that negate the deep gloss of the beadmaker
I want the Meguires fast finish because i already bought it lolz Probably cheaper because very little product is needed, not so much with bead maker from what i've seen on youtube.
Which one of these impressed you most during this comparison...if any?
Bead maker for me..I started using it recently and love the results..Stopped using D156 and Duragloss Aquawax after using bead maker..Car stays cleaner even after rainfall..
The Meg's will suit me better only because of areosol.....
Megs because easy to apply and less hassle for my application
Meguiars UFF, it’s ridiculously easy to apply
Meg’s easier to apply can in direct sunlight don’t have a 8 hour cure time and cheaper and use less product
Leave it up to me to decide?! Thats insane! I can't make these decisions myself! That is terrifying! I rely on you for that!
What I love about the majority of Meguiar products is that they can be applied in direct sunlight. My garage is small and my truck, 2017 F250, is a large truck! I have to be strategic with any detailing with this vehicle.
I polish, wax, and then use the ultimate sealant as a topper to seal in all the beautiful work.

Brian when applying these do you have to throw away the microfiber towel used to apply and/or remove the sealants?
Terry Taylor I don’t believe either product has sio2 in it so you should be fine just washing your towels.

Out of those two products I’d would choose UFF simply because of the cure time. My car lives outside and there is no guarantee that it would stay dry for 6hrs.
I’ve actually just used Sonax hybrid machine polish topped with Sonax PNS this week on my car. UFF and PNS are very similar products.
I will be using Sonax BSD to top this after maintenance washes.
Duncan Humpleby Sonax Shield is fun to work with as well!
Hey Duncan PNS definitely is more hydrophobic than UFF. PNS vs UFF would be a nice future vid.

If you're sniffing it daily sure it's a bad thing, but you're spraying on a car every what......once every 2 months? You inhale more things daily then inhaling that aerosol.
@@Voltis-5 I see your point. , But that's also kinda of the point , your not just inhailing this as a stand alone product , if you can remove one or more harmful things from the already long list of harmful inhailants we're exposed to wouldn't that be a good thing specially if you can get the same results¿?.. not to mention if your in the detail business
Do u prefer a sealant or coating in ur biz. And what is ur go to product?
Love these videos so much, i hit the thumbs up butto before even watching the vid lmao thanks brian. Youre the best
😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Erik Datadeen...likewise. It's like your ready to watch the next Apex Detail video. Have to give Brian his kudos☆☆☆
nice video B. might have to give both of them a shot
Ultima Paint Guard Plus please.
It'd be great to see Sonax BSD thrown into the mix to see how it compares to these 2! Maybe for another video! Thanks for another very interesting video.
Beadmaker for the money. Although curious to see how long the Maguire's last. A compelling idea... Brian. Thank you. Appreciate your vids.
Nice video. I don’t feel like they faded that much. :) Slight edge to bead maker sheeting a bit faster. Pretty close. Both look to be great.
Citrol 266 did them in. Use that to clean the panel for the next test.
Great video. Maybe one of the most useful and topical considering how big bead maker is getting. Both products seem to do a great job and personally I've been a fan of fast finish for years. I recommend it to my customers to use periodically in between my visits and it's cool to see that it really can take some abuse.
Thanks for putting in the time. I'm sure it will help many consumers.
They both get my full respect. Thanks Saucey.😀
Fast finish hasn't even been out two years and my local Walmart stores have discontinued it already. Amazon has my back though.
@@tylough
That's true. I suppose it would have been just under 2 years since I think I first got my hands on it near Thanksgiving of 2016. For some reason it felt longer until I really thought about it lol. Either way, I've enjoyed using it for the duration it's been out. People assume waxing is a royal pain, but when you can recommend something that's affordable and works and only takes maybe 15 minutes to do the whole car it makes it an attainable goal to keep their vehicle in good shape.
Time flies when you're having fun with fast finish. ;)
So bead maker can be applied on ceramic coated paint.?.
Yes, according to the maker.
So for all who are experienced with one or both of these, how long in normal conditions would these last on cars parked outside, normal washing, etc. And any experience with topping these with any waxes?
I have been using Meguiar’s but I like the Bead Maker too and I just ordered some.
Apex Detail
do half the hood with Meguiars Fast Finish then add Bead Maer on top let it cure just to see if that enhances gloss even more, then on the other half backwards do Bead Maker then add Meguiars Fas Finish on top to see if that make is gloss even more. @Apex Detail
Thanks
Thumbs up simply for the sheer evil genius of having multiple spray bottles of contaminants. The OCD is strong with this one. And I love. Thanks for another dope upload and comparison.
My pleasure...I have bottled Tranny fluid, used oil, anti freeze, diesel, high test gas, kero....and much more😀
Apex Detail Think I'll try the fast finish today.
Have you tried Hydosilex sorry if I missed your thoughts on this product..

Hi Brian, thanks for the great video here. I was wondering if it is okay for me to apply a sealant directly onto an unwashed/slightly rinsed car, please? How much difference would it make, please?
Applying any sealant or wax you really should prep the car properly at least with a wash. A rinse is not sufficient.
Meguiars Fast Finish Vs Hydrosilex Recharge...which do you think is better?
Bead maker, I use this religiously on our fire trucks at the department I work at and works wonderful.
Jeremy Blanks Jeremy! What FD do you work for?
I used the fast finish on my black fiat an love it ,it has been paint corrected,getting ready to buy bead maker
What kind of air blower are you using?
I am using Meguiar's on one of my vehicles and it is doing pretty good after 2 months. I will say it is very easy to apply and remove. Will be stepping up to Angelwax Enigma QED this fall for winter protection on both my cars. Thanks for the great video I think you get a kick out of these torture tests of products :) Take care
I certainly do. The product companies might not be so thrilled 😁
I wish that if you in the future try the Carpro CQuartz UK 3.0 vs Any Cheap Ceramic coating
When I'm out of seal & shine doing the beadmaker next
I finally bought and am testing Megs UFF on my DD which sits outside 24/7, and durability has been disappointing for me. Adding another layer is quick and easy, I just expected more.
Really looking forward to seeing Sonax Polymer Net Shield being put through its paces, as I really enjoy this type of videos. 👍
Oh yeah... that one is on the way!
What blower are you using ty
I give it a tie . But I would lean more towards fast finish because of the price and the fact they sell it at local auto stores . Good video
Great camera works! !!!
Both are great to have in your arsenal. I have them and they have their purposes.
Try them together!
Not a bad idea! Both great toppers.
What product are you referring to, when you say IP wash ?
Isopropyl alcohol!
Is the Bead Maker designed to be applied to a bare clear coat ? Or can it be applied over a Carnuba wax ?
If you apply a wax before a sealant, always do an IPA wipe after the wax. Then apply bead maker 😎
You can do both. IPA wipe down before with the bare paint if you are applying dry will get the best longevity.
The deal breaker for me is which one has more applications? I know FF can be used on the interior as well. Can Bead Maker?
Yes, UFF is kinda oily, Beadmaker applies nicer on cars interior, & just looks far better, Try it.
You can also use BM on glass including the inside.
Bead Maker vs Reload vs Hydrosilex recharge!
Hydrosilex will win love hydrosilex won't buy nothing else
Which is better, megs fast finish or menzerna power lock ?
Andreas Steven power lock is definitely better in gloss/durability but FF IMO has a easier application
Hi. I have a question. After using beadmaker the next time I clean the car, can I use wolfgang uber as a no rinse wash or as a quick detailer or will that negate the deep gloss of the beadmaker
Just use bead maker as a drying aid after the rinseless wash to bring the gloss back.
I think the biggest going for BM is that it can be used as a drying aid.
I've used FF, and I rate it as just OK. Here, the Bead Maker appears to hold up better.
I want the Meguires fast finish because i already bought it lolz Probably cheaper because very little product is needed, not so much with bead maker from what i've seen on youtube.
