I`ve been using BM for a couple months now, and I must say, I love it. Everyone has their own "opinion" and "go-to" product, but for what it costs, I would definitely try it. I`ve used it as a drying aid and used on a dry car and I`ve found that it makes the paint POP more when using it on a dry surface. I try not to over use the product, as others have said, it`s really not necessary. The guys over at P&S are top notch and know their stuff. They`ve been in the business of blending their own products for 30+ years, so don`t let the blending videos that Scott from Dallas Paint Correction scare you. P&S came up with the chemistry of this product and blends/bottles themselves (from what I know).
This is a very saturated market and any of us could start our own company selling Sio2 detail sprays, quick detailers, APC`s, etc. Just do your research and form your own opinions. Bead Maker is a phenomenal product and if you`ve noticed, it`s been around for years but is just now blowing up. P&S likes to keep the "hype" under the radar and let their products do the talking and the industry experts and prosumers will follow!

Kind of ironic that you would post this video in a P&S product thread, as I thought that P&S was one of the few companies that actually make their own stuff.

Is Bead Maker an SiO2 spray? The advertising says polymers, no mention of SiO2.

No it is not.

Can I be honest? I`m skeptical that many of these Si02 sprays have negligible amounts of Si02 in them at all. We all associate Si02 with great water beading and "coating friendly" so you basically have to say Si02 for any new product. But look at Fast Finish it is supposed to be polymer based but I bet if they said it had Si02 we`d all just nod our heads.

Probably right. The polymers create beading and provide protection. I guess the SiO2 remains for hardness and durability. But we will never know if it is the SiO2, the polymers, or the resins that create the gloss we are seeing. I’m not sure it matters.

It`s like Teflon all over again.

Is Teflon the same a PTFE? Also could throw Polycharger into the mix. Always going to be the next big thing/hype with detailing supplies. You have to differentiate yourself from the “old” stuff on the market. I would like to ask a manufacturer why they don’t advertise the amount of SiO2 in a product to set themselves apart from the competition. I’m beginning to think the SiO2 amount doesn’t matter as much as the type of polymers or resins.

Yes PTFE and Teflon are the same. Dupont requested companies stop using their trademark name so they started calling it PTFE. Dupont also said it was ineffective for various applications including paint protection. A decade later they were selling their own line of Teflon fortified detailing junk at Walmart.

Bead Maker just passed the first coating topper test with flying colors. I`ve been running Gyeon Mohs and One separately on the other test car which has been routinely pummeled by hard water over the months from the sprinklers. Recently the paint was hit bad, so far the worst remaining performance I`ve seen after the final wash and rinse with CarPro Reset. Bead Maker revived absolutely everything, greatly boosted the slickness, easily cut through the damage to the surface tension that the hard water spotting left behind prior, and it has endured daily showers since being applied (4 days old). Its ability to repair each coating left me very surprised.
By itself, Bead Maker is not a very hydrophobic product, and it`s always a question when you try topping a more hydrophobic product with one that`s less hydrophobic - whether it`s going to ruin the base layer`s performance. The coatings, even when heavily diminished, were revived and boosted Bead Maker far beyond what it could ever achieve as a standalone product. I`ve honed in on Polish Angel (High Gloss, Cosmic Spritz, Rapidwaxx) as my favorite coating toppers so far, but the price is obviously way up there and they won`t match Bead Maker`s slickness. So I`m very impressed on this first showing, I`m going to be running more tests with it but this was a big hurdle to clear and it greatly exceeded expectations.
