I have bought this kit twice as entries for giveaway cars. I have tried to use bead maker and dream maker and even the secret sauce of the two mixed together. The problem with bead maker is that it starts to crystallize in the bottle when not used up quickly. I think that is from the coloring agent in the product. Also, on my black car I had noticeable streaking issues and it attracted dust buildup. Even, the secret sauce of bead maker and dream maker combined left streaking. The OG drying aid never streaks on my black car leaves an amazing deep black gloss and nice slickness. I also tried the Extreme Solutions topper and it was garbage. So far OG drying aid is the best drying aid I have used. I use it on both my cars, one is ceramic coated(soft black paint) and one is waxed with gyeon Q2 wax(snow white pearl paint) and the OG drying aid works great on both.
I've got a gallon container of Bead Maker I've had for three years. I don't have the crystalizing you're experiencing. I've used several gallons over several years.
@@timkinley1779 I've got the 5 gallon container of bead maker and same here, no crystalizing. But I do notice bottles of bead maker left anywhere that has some sunlight, the colour goes dull and eventually almost transparent if left long enough while the 5 gallon tucked away from sunlight still looks fine. It's been a few years now too.
I've used a couple of drying aids , not many , but by far this one is my favorite to use, no streaks in direct sunlight and of course inside the garage, the slickness is great and the gloss is awesome!.
Well, I may just have to order some. I’m a heavy Beadmaker user,but I guess I should give it a try. I probably would have a long time ago but I’m in Canada and shipping is a killer.
Hey Matt, maybe gather your thoughts ahead of filming & make yourself a few key notes of people’s names/product names/dates? Would make for far better viewing & be a whole lot less frustrating …😉
I got carried away and bought too much Beadmaker after falling in love with it but eventually ran into the streaking issues if applied outside of the garage. Even though I had a gallon of Griot's Best of Show Spray Wax also, I went ahead and bought a bottle of OG Drying Aid in support for an alternative. My neighbors must think I'm nuts cleaning my car multiple times a week just so I can run through all this product!
Definitely find myself liking the Drying Aid over any other Drying/Detail spray I've used. Can't say that I've used as many different ones as Matt but I've probably tried 10+ different ones and this last just as long as any of them. My favorite part of it is exactly like Matt says about the application. Takes two towels to do my entire truck and it goes on easy and wipes off easy. Slick as well and adds depth but I enjoy applying it more than anything. Great Product!!!
Love the drying aid. Well worth the buy. I do think you can use too much. I find myself doing full trigger pulls and once the towel is loaded it feels like I'm just pushing product around. Definitely a balance to find but man, when applied correctly, the slickness is insane. Only other product I've used as a drying aid was Ammo Spit and that stained all my towels red loll worked fine I suppose I just hated the staining.
You need to or should i say i want you to bring your products to the uk. 😊 Really want to try the OG products. Pay more in shipping than the actual produluct. 😂
I’m currently using McKee’s Graphene Rinseless Wash as a drying aid. My thought process is if the lubrication is “good enough” for a dirty car it should be over kill as a drying aid with the added bonus of a topper as I have used the matching Hydro Graphene Ceramic Coating. I’m curious if you have looked into this product?
@@ObsessedGarage Lmao I know you're super against marketing hype and I agree it's pretty cringe. However, I haven't bought into the hype of "graphene" as much as the easy of application and end product. It's crazy slick with a similar glow as carnauba.
@@johnevans715 I never heard of it until my neighbor, another obsessive detailer type, put me on it. After coming across that I saw McKee's has the matching Rinseless wash. Maybe my mind is too simple but I figured they'd work well with one another, so I gave it a shot. And I'm more than satisfied, I'm impressed.
I always have issues with the windows and drying aids. I'll go around just like you did on this video and then when I'm done I'll inspect everything and see smudges or leftover drying aid on the windows here and there (probably on the paint too but that's not as noticeable). So I'll have to go back and really kind of scrub to get the windows clear. Not sure what it is but always seems to happen. Still use the stuff and love how it feels when I'm done just kind of annoying...
This was my experience for years as well. Turns out, I was using too much product. Of course this varies based on the product. Take whatever you use now and cut it half. Two sprays on the mf towel then wipe a panel? Do one spray instead. Especially on the glass.
see I'm the opposite, I find that when I use a drying aid my windows turn out perfect as does my black trim! Might also add I've always dried the windows first after blowing the vehicle dry. I have to thank Matt's videos for pointing me in the right direction to try it.
I really like using it on my windshield. It doesn’t make rain fly off as well as Rain-X, but it’s so slick that I can’t hear the wipers sweep against the glass.
i bought a gallon of the OG drying aid from the last give away and it has become my favorite drying aid, i used to use bead maker but it kept having the static affect. i switched over to the OG drying aid and haven't tried anything else since
This is great to hear. Just ordered a gallon as well. I’ve been using Beadmaker and Reload and both seem to attract a lot of dust with the car just sitting. Even more so if driving on a clear day. (Dry Colorado). Hoping this solves this problem once and for all.
@@beefsocket i live in California and had the same issue, don't have any issues with the OG drying causing things to stick to my freshly washed car lol and it does what its supposed too! helps dry and gives the car a perfect shine. cant recommend it enough
I had a mixed bag of results with the Griot's Ceramic line. I did not get the ideal slickness that you'd expect from a ceramic 3-1 spray. It may have been too cold for the application though. I bought a bottle of Ceramic Speedshine and wasn't completely blown away by it. I will agree with you though, the beading is insane but the user experience wasn't what I'd expect from a product in this category.
Any idea when these products are coming the UK Matt? I'd love to purchase both OG drying aid and tire dressing, but the shipping costs are almost the same amount as the products themselves sadly. (I appreciate that part is out of your control) so we need a UK supplier ASAP.
I really would’ve liked to see the car completely wet then you apply the product and see if it really is a drying aid instead of you using it as a spray wax/sealant. 😅😅
I was looking into finding a better alternative to BeadMaker recently and one product has caught my attention: Bilt Hamber's Auto QD, ordering it this month to give it a good try. The price/dilution makes a lot of sense if it works as good as reviews are saying. I'd be curious to hear Matt's take on it.
Idk why you called it a drying aid when the drying process was already completed via the blower, this chemical and something like P&S bead maker seem so similar, I think it would have been better shown as an actual aid, like spraying on a wet car and allowing the chemical to AID the drying towel with the drying… just my opinion
911 T delivery - I copied your GT4 delivery where you pulled all the factory protective plastic sheets inside and outside when I took delivery of a new 911 T and I put it on TH-cam. Lots of fun! Thanks for the idea Matt…
Just got this in the mail, can't wait to try it. I have to agree with the static complaints about beadmaker. We had to move to a different state for work and it is extremely dry here. Whenever I use beadmaker on my cars, they become total dust magnets. (And when using a different detail spray thats not the case)
Newbie here.. Just bought a new vehicle and wanting to get away from the automatic carwash to keep it clean. Liking this channel but dumb question. Why is it called a drying aid if the vehicle is already dry?
Essentially the leaf blower doesn’t blow all the water off. To aid in the towel drying portion, he uses drying aid for lubrication for the contact and his product adds a sacrificial layer to prolong the ceramic coating.
I just tried Aeroshield Hyper Finish Si02 detail spray and It works really well on a coated car. I was a bit skeptical since there isn’t a whole lot of information about the company on line. I was pleasantly surprised! Maybe give it a try?
og drying aid is awesome pressol bottle is awesome ftw and guntlet towels are awesome i have them all and i love them all looks pretty and they work like a charm
Drying Aid is a topper to helps to speed up the drying process by providing a hydrophobic surface. A quick detailer has some minor cleaning capabilities but isn't as potent as a drying aid.
@@ObsessedGarage I am happier with SiO2 based drying aids and Ammo Hydrate. I tried Bead Maker, too. Maybe I'm jaded and have higher expectations. It's all in the user experience, but I'll continue to give it a shot
The original EGO blower was a better option. You can search back through some older videos and get the reasoning for the EGO and Milwaukee line of products and how they came about.
@obsessedgarage don't give that thing away. Wait what am I talking about I don't want anything and I'm due to win something in my life maybe it'll be this one lol
The regular gallon Drying Aid isn’t included in the giveaway but this drying aid bundle is? This is the most convoluted giveaway ever. I bought like $500 in stuff this week and got no entries because apparently I didn’t buy the giveaway bundles, which are exactly the same products… 🤦🏼♂️
So you didn't do the bare minimum in seeing what qualifies? I don't believe I'd complain about a lack of comprehension. How much more can OG dumb-it-down?
You know you're car is clean when you can dry under the wipers and no black shows up on the towel

Xtreme Solutions Topper?
I’m pretty sure that’s the “pink stuff” Matt is referring too.
That's it.
BeadMaker is very staticky for me.
If the 997 giveaway does well enough, it could lead you to get that NSX for another giveaway instead of the E36.
