Great video, bead maker does have its place and its hard to top its properties, and results but for interiors thats a go to 100%. It might just begin to be ground breaking specifically for interior because with more of these manufacturers putting in more delicate surfaces bead maker will just make it even better.
Yeah but... Wouldn't it make more sense to use real protection that's actually antistatic, designed for interior parts, super versatile and durable ? For example, DIY's interior ceramic?
@@alphag5240 it would make sense, but as stated in the video, nothing else comes close to the gloss and sickness not to mention the wonderful fragrance
@@alphag5240 that’s always an option as well but we’re talking about the versatility of bead maker not what products to use. There’s always a different price point to interior ceramics compared what you can use for just making your detail stand out from others and provide extra protection without having to charge more as well
I detail a lot of soccer mom type vehicles. Usually they are concerned about the interior and not super concerned about the exterior. Bead maker is perfect for this because it adds gloss and makes the car look better than they thought possible. Without doing a lot of work. When bead maker was new they were pushing the rag company high pile towel which I experienced the dusting issue. When I switched to a low pile it went away.
As I’ve grown as a detailer, I’ve learned how to use Beadmaker. My basic washes get Beadmaker (or similar spray sealant). It is an SiO2 spray sealant. Because it was developed so long ago, the way it cures is outdated. It cures fast, which means if you run a dry towel over it after it cures, you’re going to create a static charge, which will attract dust. That’s what got it a bad reputation. What have I don’t to get around that? Leave a little bit of water on the car when applying it. It will not compromise its durability. It will last till the next wash. Whether it’s 6 weeks or 6 months from then. I’ve tested it. Low pile towel is also key. Also excellent for wiping down wheels & jambs. Still an amazing product all things considered if you ask me
We continue to use on jambs as well which we didn't state in the video and towel selection is very key also, glad you figured out your system because most give up on this awesome product.
Plus one on Tech 582, but I gotta say Beadmaker does have quite the shine Man! I used a short nap towel the last time I used BM and it seemed to help.with dusting. I'll have to try the long stroke method Renny uses when he applies it, maybe that creates less static??
I'm mostly only detailing my own vehicles, but man I love Bead Maker. Cheap, slick and the best gloss around. I don't know if I'm just lucky, but I've never had a single issue with it in the wide ranging climate here in Minnesota. Hot, cold, dry, humid...it just works amazing. No smearing, no dusting or anything. I try to make it fail in the way that people complain about it, but I i just can't ever replicate what others say. I've also had it last months on my daily driven (but garaged) vehicles that only ever see rinseless washes. So am I just that good? Am I that lucky? Or are the haters just lying and making things up?
I think there's a lot of factors involved, but it seems like what you are doing is working. Just like us with the dusting, it's an issue we have never experienced
@@DETAILSofficial agreed. I've just never seen such a polarizing product. People either seem to love it or have a seemingly irrational hate against it. Use what you like and don't knock what works for someone else... Except maybe Chemical Guys. 😉
@@jeffc6832 It also doesn't help that most people don't read directions for use on products so they never actually give things a true opportunity. You'd be surprised on how often I advise folks to "follow directions listed and dilution ratios".
Yes i remember doing this slk last season using bead maker in hot weather took another 20 minutes just to fix the mistake the product I use now can be used in any temp it’s very nice
Great clip!! Thank you!! I use Beadmaker on almost every vehicle. Agreed it can be temperamental at times😤 it’s wonderful for door jambs and I use it on interior glass on maintenance vehicles. Sometimes the dusting is an issue, I cut it with Dreammaker, 20% or so. Don’t know if it makes a difference, but I love the results!!! Agreed, the piano black on interiors gets sooooo deep with this. Thank you for doing what you do, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from your posts!! Love the evolution of your business😎
Where I noticed dusting was during pollen season on my personal car... a few days after putting on beadmaker on half the hood and another product on the opposite... after a few days of driving the beadmaker side had more dust/pollen collection.. it was noticeable but not the end of the world...
I’m a Autobody painter and I feel Beadmaker gives a glossy candied look with a slickness that can’t be beat! I like to use it as a drying aid after every wash I don’t even ceramic coat my vehicle I feel it’s unnecessary.
I was a fan at first. Used as a drying aid and it lasted till the next wash. Didn't stop bird poop from staining my alpine white car and created static for dust though. I thought Technician Choice was minimally better for the problems. They are all just drying aids with a few weeks of protection and hydrophobics. For protection Moonlight and Can Coat are better options if you can't ceramic coat. Keep the Beadmaker type products for gloss and drying aids. Maybe there is some new products that are better now. I've tried everything from the last 5 years and they are all the same. I gave up hoping for them to last and just use waterless wash for drying aids now.
They can be difficult to work with and I've heard the same feedback from multiple detailers stating that the competitors are very similar. Thank you for the view and great feedback Robert.
Have never used it and never going to but Im sure it has it's place. Silica based products (creams, pastes and sprays) are my #1 preference (SIO4 etc) , polymers are a distant second. Polymers don't provide the film build thus the rich colour that silica can but the formula is what makes or breaks them. I've been using silica based stuff since the 1990's but not all products are created equal though. I am 160 brands down after thirty years and not much impresses me anymore really. Permanon was my last favourite spray product which is silica based, the Profiline version. It was mega slick, 1 litre makes 5 to 20 litres of product, it's glossy as glass but suffered water spotting issues too easily which pissed me off so I haven't used anything but rinseless on my two cars for years now. Just applying a few layers of coating and rinseless does the job for many years. Ultimately know the characteristics of each product type you like and find products that have those characteristics but which also provide results that last.
Joel you should try this product car gloss it there ceramic detail spray I do believe it’s a better gloss than bead maker and slicker … it’s kinda unreal lol
How do you apply it to piano gloss interior? I have s class benz with that trim never thought of using beadmaker. Do you spray right on towel? What towel u use?
@@chrisginoc we've had multiple videos breaking down this very topic. It's a problem that occurs due to temperature, the even bigger problem is that most detailers don't even see it.
Only thing about bead maker to me is the name it makes crazy beads but as we all know when it rains and the dirt gets cough in the beads it’ll leave a dirt residue…..
@2FreshDetailStudio paint gloss is an underrated product on my opinion and experience. As long as people realize it's not protection, it will work well on any coated or waxed car or even raw bare paint with no coating. It's a streak free in sun on a black car finisher and glosser. Love it, cheap too and it can be diluted as desired with distilled water and still work great 👍
I think its dead, I started off using it but I've started to use other brands, I don't find it glossy and doesn't have good hydrophobics but it's very very slick. Dusts like a bitch and can streak. Much better stuff out there, at first - I thought it was amazing but after using alternatives its junk.
easiest way is to use it as drying aid everytime. two-towel method as well Honestly I think Beadmaker is one of the easiest to use. as it being a dust magnet? not much of an issue for me. coz I wash my car regularly (every two weeks)
@@DETAILSofficialB&B blending makes it for them. Matt with obsessed garage utilizes it with his logo on it with no dyes or fragrance. I live is south Louisiana and it’s much easier to work with until sub 50 degrees it does get slightly difficult to work with. Gloss takes several hours to peak.
Dream maker is a gloss amplifier with no protection developed for custom paint and single stage paints. In my opinion it does compare pretty equally on the right paint types. We use dream maker for show vehicles and classics.
The shine is great, but that's a whole laundry list of things you gotta watch out for just so it won't attract dust. Too many good products out there that work great and don't attract dust. P&S even wants you to buy another product to add to it, so it won't dust, what does that tell you?
It is, but all of the considerations should already be part of the pre planning stages of the detail, every detail is dictated by situation. This was understood earlier in our career detailing. It's just too good not to use in our opinion and worth the modifications of application. We do understand it may not be for some, for instance if we lived in a humid environment it would probably be another story for DETAILS.
Great video! There are so many products now that you can easily find one that fits your process. If beadmaker is that product and it works for you and your customers then continue to use it. The clean maker mix is pretty legit if you already have beadmaker and dream maker.

What is a low pile towel?low gsm?can it be used as a full drying aide and not create static dust?
@@jwhoa1733 it means one that isn’t very fluffy. Costco towels work best for me. Fold it in 4’s and use the more tightly knit side
@@jwhoa1733 a lower length fiber towel.
