I didn't know that bead maker could be used in the interior. I'll have to try. Thank you for shooting the video in this format, I don't even need a translator to understand what it's about. Hello from Russia
Thanks for tuning in champ! 😎👍Its a great option if you want to top this on an existing Paint Protectant. Ive heard of Extreme Solutions, but I have trouble finding it locally 🤔
Ever since they came out with defender I’ve hardly touched my gallon of beadmaker. Just about as easy to apply, but beads way better and holds up better. Seems to be just as versatile and still a great price in the gallon size. Defender is very very slick too.
I tried some on my ceramic coated M2. It adhered to the ceramic coating, gave a better gloss than the coating alone, and the beading when it rained was on a par with some quality waxes I have used. I doubt it will last long, but I wash my car every week anyway. The only thing I'm worried about, is that it will make my drying towels stop absorbing water.
I love beadmaker. It's definitely in my arsenal among others. I have the topper sprays from most of the major players (Gyeon Ceramic Detailer, KCx S0.02, CarPro Reload, NV Boost) and I like Beadmaker a lot. Beadmaker is the slickest surface I have ever seen.
Exactly, yeah durability is not there, but the ease of application is unmatched to the competition, even in direct sunlight 😎 ☀️ Works great in the interior too!
While it is a good slip solution, for major decontamination I would suggest not using it as you would chemically seal the impurities on the surface. For just a light clay, you can use bead maker and it will be perfectly fine . 👍
What is good champ 👍 I would argue Technicians Choice or Shine Supply Punch it seems like a good alternative considering the price. 🤔 Of course this is subjective, but based off the question, this is the best answer I got 😎
Does it leave the seats and steering wheel too slick (leather) ?? I didn’t realize it can be used on interiors. I’m just a DIY detailer for my own personal and family vehicles. Basically my hobby. I’m also trying the Turtle Wax Hybrid Pure Shine infused with graphene. I’m slowing selecting various products that work best for me. Thanks for your review. (Great quality content, pacing and audio/video setup).
It leaves leather surfaces smooth to the touch 😌 of course, if you don't like how it feels, or it is too soft for your preference, you can always wipe it down gently with a cleaner, and it will release some of the product off 😉 Just do not put it on pedals nor stepping areas 😂 I don't think I have to explain
Hey man I’m going to be using Greenstar in a foam cannon for an APC pre wash. I have an MJJC S3 (I think it’s 38oz) I was wondering if you think 1oz green star to 15oz water is the right ratio since I’m pretty sure I don’t need the whole cannon full for just a sedan right? Thanks man love your videos.
Just note, an APC Pre Wash is NOT recommended for vehicles that are maintained and should only be used under the right circumstances. ☝️ 📝 For green star at 1:4, just get your OZ that you want to serve and divide by 5. That total will be your number of oz for green star and fill the rest with water 😎
@@CardosCarDose definitely plan on only doing it for this 1st wash, I’ve lived in a condo the last 3 years so my car is gross. 😂 how much product do you usually need to coat a sedan you think?
@@TaylorMadeMoment it can be 16oz, 32oz, or 48 😬Depends on how much product do you want on the surface and how long do you want it to dwell. Sometimes 16 oz is enough for a quick foam. Maybe 32oz if I want thick clumps to cling for longer dwell time. Or perhaps 48oz like my Ceramic Coating video where the grime was just out of control and had to foam it twice. 🤮 So really, all i can say is observe what is wrong with the vehicle and make your best judgment 😎👍 If you want a direct answer, better to serve too little than too much, I say ☝
Have you encountered dusting issues? If yes, how did you avoid that? I want to use this for my clients, I love beadmaker so much but dusts doesn’t really affect me. However, I am afraid that some clients might not like in case they have some dusting issues.
All waxes have the potential to dust and if I can be completely transparent with you I think this is just an accusation made by the community to belittle BM if I am completely honest. Ive seen the "BM dusts too much" claims and really it is a poorly thought out statement because well... If you reeeeeeeally care about the dust, then maybe put the car in those inflatable dust proof car storage? 🤔 Realistically speaking, there is no way for you to control the dust and is completely dependent on how the customer parks or stores their car. From my testing there is no real way to see if it dusts or not because even if you applied a "low static" wax to the car it will catch dust at some point within a day because it is Outside 😂 I mean, duh? So to answer your question directly, it is a solid product for the price and it is an excellent standard wax for your customers 👍
@@CardosCarDose I agree with you! Dusts are inevitable even with anything that you apply. I’ve tried different products but the dusts that i receive is just the same especially if left outside the garage. However, with the gloss that beadmaker gives, the slickness, i feel like every customer will like it and that’s what matters. Thanks for the reply!
Considering that this is the interior, I do not have one to recommend as I have never tested it on an area like that. Sorry, I don't have a recommendation for this question 🤔 Regular paint sealants would work tho ☝️
CARLOS!!! 🔥🔥 Thanks for tuning in brotha 😎👍Dude, you WILL get there man! Sure it is a learning curve, but def not impossible! you should see my first video 😆For sure not as refined as now and that was like 2 years ago. It is a process to improve 🔥Craft takes time for refinement Feel free to reach out if you need any advice on how to edit 😎👍Will gladly help you out!
This can be used as a standalone, no need to apply additional wax as a base layer. 👍 Paste wax is mostly for consumers who want to have a therapeutic session. Liquid spray waxes perform almost identically as paste waxes, but do not require so many steps like a paste wax would.
I do like it as a drying aid. I rarely use it now because I'm trying to go through my other products. The longevity is horrible. The name Bead Maker is misleading as I've never been impressed with its performance. It does smell good and it does add slickness and pop to the paint.
If you see the beading is not there, perhaps it is time to decon the surface as the particles create friction and prevent the water from gliding off, or in this case, beading 🤔 And trust, wish it could have lasted a lot longer, but honestly, I dont use it as a standalone, but as a topper or drying aid for my existing ceramic coating that I installed. 😎👍
It is so so easy to make the paint slippery slick 😁I agree, sucks it does not last as long, but I guess this is a great topper for a more durable paint protectant. 🤔
Beadmaker has crap hydrophobics and longevity. Use it as a drying aid and it will just clog your main sealant up. Don’t understand the hype for it but I guess people have to eat.
@@CardosCarDose question, once you put a bead maker in your car then after a week I wash it I mean i car wash my car, do i need to remove the bead maker (for example iron remover or other chemicals) that I used a week ago and re-apply it? or just spray it after washing my car? thanks for your feedback. big fan cardo
No, you do not need to remove it. You can keep applying more on it as that will revitalize the base layer. You only remove protection when you are going to perform a decontamination of some sort.
When this came out it was a big hype but full of shit then defender i never trusted them afterwards... say 6 months NEVER i rather use technician choice ceramic spray over bead maker and defender,,,,, just saying but as always champ you do great works and time into your videos keep it up man I'm always your support 👍🏾i still have a gallon from since the came out with it thats how long i used it on door jambs
In my region BM benefits a lot since there is almost no traffic film from rainy days and road salt caking the surface. Colder and wet climates is where this product struggles as stronger cleaners are required to remove that grime, which in return, degrades the product quickly. 🤔 But thanks for the feedback champ! 😎👍
@@CardosCarDose I enjoy your videos champ but I’m just pointing out what I’ve seen. There’s people that love it and people that say it’s all hype. I’ve yet to try it I’m working through all my paint protectants before I resupply then maybe I’ll give it a shot. You enjoy it and so do your customers so at the end of the day that’s all that matters
@@Enthusiast_detailing Oh trust, you right on that. I can agree that at times the hype is so saturated that it disrupts the clarity of constructive feedback. ☝ I try my best to help break everything down and provide evidence in my research when giving my opinion so it is as accurate as it can be with comparable results. Sure my workflow in Sunny California wont compare to someone in Snowy Canada, but I try my best to point some key things out 📝🤔 Bead Maker is NOT perfect, and I am aware of the dusting issues, sheeting behavior, and other critiques of the product that some experience. ❌ So in my use case this is a great product that fits in my business. For sure not everyone can agree, but like you said, at the end of the day, we can enjoy our products to how we see fit. 😎👍 Thanks for pointing that out! 😁
IMO, when it first came out and had nearly zero real competition for hydrophics in an easy spray form, it was well liked. I have a gallon of it in my garage that's about 1/4 used. I probably will not use the rest of it. Luckily, or unluckily there are so many options out there now a days and they are all trying to out do the other. Personally, I'd rather spend the same time applying something like DIY Detail's Ceramic Gloss and get much better longevity.
That is a respectable opinion 😌👍 I can agree that during its time it was the go to. Now that there are so many options it struggles to stay in the arena if we look at it at face value with constructive feedback. Realistically there will never be a "perfect" product, but as long as you enjoy what you use and that it works in your routine, I say all is good at the end of the day 😎
Never bought it. And weirdly glad I never got on the hype train. I found nanoshock to be Amazing as well as tec582. Never found beadmaker to be overly impressive from the reviews I saw.
Same here, I usually let hype calm down, which is why I did not review BM until I had a lot of time with the product 📝 Durability is meh, but I do fancy the slickness it offers and ease of use. Especially for interiors 😌 💺 The dust I do not care because all my cars are outside, I have no garage space. So really it is no big deal to me and neither for anyone who has a car parked outdoors 🤷♂️ it is what it is
@@CardosCarDose oh for sure! I just like to find the best mix of value /durability/gloss. Why I prefer technicians choice or nanoskin nanoshock. I’m sure it’s a great product it’s just that it’s in a busy market and a lot of products surpass it lol
Without a doubt the technology has gotten so much better that BM now seems to be lacking compared to others. Maybe a BM2.0 could help instead of mixing it with another product trying to "fix" what it originally has 😂
How do you like P&S Bead Maker? 🤔
Do you know how strong the UV inhibitors are in this?
I don't have a UV measurement device, so I have no way of confirming it 🤔
@@CardosCarDose how would one test UV I wonder

Great video as always. I've yet to try Beadmaker but I do use Extreme Solutions Topper and it's very slick as well.
Thanks for tuning in champ! 😎👍Its a great option if you want to top this on an existing Paint Protectant.

Gotta say, the results are killer 😱

That is the only downside to using this as a drying aid as the chemistry can clog the fibers to prevent it from absorbing water 🤔
P&S rags to riches solves this issue. Trust me !

Oh trust, been using it recently to top the ceramic coating 😎Works great as a drying aid!
Great review! 💪🧼
Thanks champ! 😎🔥Always trying my best!
Such a versatile product I like to use it as a clay lube which works amazing with the P&S reset sponge
While it is a good slip solution, for major decontamination I would suggest not using it as you would chemically seal the impurities on the surface.
For just a light clay, you can use bead maker and it will be perfectly fine . 👍
Good review man I love this stuff too 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! 💯💯 How do you use it in your work routine? 🤔
It’s amazing on steering wheels and leather. And I love it over a ceramic coating.
It really is! 🔥Adds as a nice touch!
Great stuff!!
Glad you think so! 😎👍
Cool video review! Thanks for posting!
