Who is using bead maker
#17
it is decent and cheap but i use carpro reload instead which while more expensive works much better and longer... dilute it to use as drying aid on paint (coated or otherwise) or on rubber, plastics, glass, interior... or use it full strength on an untreated car... i applied it 2-1 on my untreated 335i dd car and it is still going strong 4 months later after rain and snow

I have used it and think it is good, but not great. Just tried the new Turtle Wax Ceramic - will see what the long term results will be. It has been getting rave reviews.

I’ve used bead maker for well over a year, it’s part of my wash routine every time 👌

Just like any detail product, if the paint is not in good condition it won't work as well. I personally think bead maker is great, and use it as part of my drying process.

I have the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray, and find its great. You have to put it on really thin or it streaks, but with proper application and curing it works great.
I did the split hood trick on my Mercedes, and it clearly works better than standard Meguires Wax.

I recently bought the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray and applied 2 coats to my new Cayenne and use the TW 3 in 1 Ceramic Detail Spray for in-between washes. Should get 12 months protection.

I used it once and it clouded my windows, not sure why. Was difficult to remove the clouding: tried IPA, denatured alcohol, cp eraser, Adams window cleaner all with no success. Finally got it off with windex with ammonia. Won't use it again.

So if you still have a bottle of it and want to give it a shot make sure you stick to the painted surfaces.

I have been using it for many months and agree with many here on how they utilize the product. The results are very good on my GT Silver 911. They are FANTASTIC on my wife's black Macan S and son's black VW Golf.
I also use it on all glass surfaces with good results on rain sheeting off.
