BEAD MAKER now makes paint protection easier and faster than ever before.

BEAD MAKER's unique formulation allows for quick spray application. This time saving product uses binding polymer monomer technology to produce a water beading, brilliant, long lasting finish.

BEAD MAKER may be applied to vehicles that are Wet or Dry (Clean, Cool Paint) and is safe to spray on all exterior surfaces.

BEAD MAKER also includes UV Protection - we use a combination of a UV filter and UV stabilizers.

What makes BEAD MAKER different is the surface migrating molecule that attaches to the paint surface of a vehicle. Once attached, this molecule cross-links and polymerizes on the surface to build a super hydrophobic durable layer of protection. Cure time is essentially two hours depending upon ambient conditions.

Very good for appearance. Reminds me of Bouncer's Done & Dusted. Longevity not great, some dust.
4 Stars
Very good for appearance. Reminds me of Bouncer's Done & Dusted. Longevity not great, some dust.
If you're a UK based detailer, you may be familiar with Done & Dusted. The way the product wipes on/off and the slick appearance you get right after, reminds me of that Bouncers product.So I'd argue there's no spray sealant/QD that will apply any easier or look better; it's highly reflective, slick to the touch, and the smell is not offensive. I've applied it this summer in Texas, in 105f heat, outside, with no issues. I sprayed a couple of times per panel, sprayed my MF towel, quickly distributed the product, they buffed with a clean towel.The manufacturer says it can be layered a few times, but you should avoid using it weekly. When I was originally testing it, I found a single application only lasted a couple of washes before it majority of it was no longer protecting the car. The preference, therefore -- if you only intend to use this product to protect your vehicle -- is to apply it twice in close succession (a week), then alternate between this and a quick detailer/gloss enhancer (such a Dream Maker, Chemical Guys Speed Wipe, etc) each wash.For me, I actually used it over FK1000P on a white car. Annoyingly, I found FK1000P to give better depth/gloss than this after it cured, so I don't think I'd go with that combination next time (but it's nearly winter, and I'm committed now). Be that to say, don't assume this will wipe the floor on appearance with every paste sealant/wax, because it wont -- sprays; yes, paste/liquids; absolutely not.All in all, it's a great short-term sealant, that offers the best appearance available out of a spray bottle. Don't overuse it! And for second/tertiary applications take it easy (2, 3 sprays per panel is all you need). I'll be buying it again and probably using it exclusively in the summer months. For the winter, I need something I can set and forget (FK/Collinite/Ceramic, etc).Give it a go! It's cheap! Nothing to lose :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Smells great!
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2023
Well you are probably looking at this product and reading these reviews since you have come across this product. Bead maker is definitely one of the products that most professional detailers recommend and have used all over youtube. Heres my honest review, to start off it does have an amazing scent. It smells very sweet almost like candy. The application process was ok, just make sure not to use too much or it will streak especially on black cars. After the application the paint was smooth, its not the slickest paint i've felt but it sure was nice. Now where this product really surprised me was how tight the water beads were after washing the car. This stuff makes your car very hydrophobic wherever you apply it to. I also tried it as a drying aid and it was also just ok. It left some streaks after drying the car but they buffed out relatively easy. In all honesty as a stand alone detailing spray I would use a different detailer thats better value for your money such as Meguiar's or Griots. If you are looking to increase the hydrophobic properties of your car and make drying the easiest it can be then yes I would recommend Bead Maker for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is it!
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019
This stuff is it. I am very meticulous about keeping my truck clean and I think I have finally found an inexpensive, easy to use product. I clay bar, polish and wax my truck every spring and then wax it once a month from about April till September. My truck is big so it’s a lengthy process, sometimes taking multiple days. Last year I bought a gallon of a leading brands quick Detailer wax and would spray it on my truck weekly, every time I washed it. It worked well but wouldn’t last long. I continued to look at other products such as topcoats and they worked well but were too expensive.

I hand-washed (just a simple hand wash) my truck 3 weeks ago for the first time this year and applied 2 coats of bead maker. (I live in PA, in an apartment complex and don’t have the necessary means to wash my truck as often as I’d like). It does sit in a parking garage so it collects dust but is removed from the elements. This past week I drove it in the rain, the water beaded right off taking some dust with it, but also collecting fine road dirt.

Today, the truck was dry, so I used an autodry wash that can be found on amazon, wiped off the fine dirt and applied bead maker. My truck looks like I just waxed it, the whole process took less than 15 minutes, and the paint is so smooth. I have zero plans on waxing my truck this summer. I use it on rubber, plastic, glass and paint. I just bought a gallon because you can’t beat the price point! Can’t wait to use it on my boat.

I don’t know how long it lasts but according to YouTube videos, it’s suppose to last a few months. I like to wash my truck weekly in the summer so I will be applying it at least every week. Even if it lasts a month, thats okay because its easier to apply than wax and really makes the black paint shine. It doesn’t stream either!
