P & S PROFESSIONAL DETAIL PRODUCTS Bead Maker - Paint Protectant & Sealant, Easy Spray & Wipe Application, Cured Protection, Long Lasting Gloss Enhancement, Hydrophobic Finish, Great Scent (1 Quart)

P&S has a reputation for delivering quality detailing products at a fair price, and the Bead Maker Paint Sealant (1 Gallon) is no exception. Used as a topper, it does a fantastic job of enhancing gloss and creating tight water beading. It’s easy to apply with a simple spray-and-wipe method, and it leaves a slick finish that really makes paint pop. That said, in Arizona conditions, it has a few drawbacks. Because cars here dry almost instantly and our hard water leaves spots, I can’t really use it effectively as a drying aid. More importantly, it tends to attract dust — which is a big issue during our frequent dust storms. On my black vehicles, they can look brown overnight after using this. A good workaround is to mix it with P&S Dream Maker, which offsets the dust-clinging problem nicely. If your goal is maximum durability, you’ll get better long-term protection from a ceramic spray or coating (my personal favorite is the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Spray). But as a quick topper for gloss and water beading, Bead Maker absolutely delivers, especially for the price.

I had a buddy turn me onto this (He didn't buy it, he just sent me links to it and asked me what I thought). Since I've been an avid detailer for over 30 years, from what I saw, it looked interesting, so I bought a gallon of it (I never go small). Now, to be clear, I'm nobody's disciple on car detailing products, but I do have my go-to's and products that I consider to be very high quality. I do like a lot of the chemical guys products, especially their spray on detailers, glossers, etc. And of course, any Klasse products are high on the list, albeit far more work than most are willing to subscribe to. This P&S was interesting to me due to the water sheeting claims. And to be clear, it does sheet water pretty good, but no better than any other "Applied" Wax (like a good coat of klasse acrylic (Silver bottle), a good carnauba wax, or basically many of them, even the cheapest waxes will sheet water). Where this P&S product really excels is in the category of the EASE of application. It is very easy to apply, and who doesn't like that? More so than that; when you do apply it the streaks are pretty much minimal, so it's very forgiving and easy to work with. . Of course, Step 1: Clean your car well! Nuff said on that. . Step2: I recommend claying your car at least 3 times a year, at a minimum. If you don't like to use actual clay (some don't) then at least use those claying mitts, which work very well and they're fast (sold on amazon, get the "fine" grade when it comes to grit). Plus the mitts don't flag trim with clay scraps, so that's a good part. Note: You don't have to clay your car EVERY TIME you want to use the P&S, but it's good to do it every once in a while, especially if you park it outside. . Step 3: After claying and completely drying off the car (use an air compressor or leaf blower to get water out of all the cracks, seams, etc). Take a fine piled microfiber cloth (like a medium to large drying type cloth) and liberally spray on the P&S. Wipe it down quick, with minimal buffing. If it's a reasonable mild day it should dry immediately and not streak. Remember, with this product there's a difference between "Dry" and "Cure". . Now, when you apply it, at first you might not "Feel" like it's that slippery, in fact, many of the "Detailers", like the Chemical Guys Ultimate Synthetic detailer, or their "Glosser", may in fact, seem slicker when applied. Where the P&S really comes into play is when it's past drying and it's CURED. Once it's cured it feels like you just got a ceramic coating put on your car (No, I've never purchased Ceramic coatings, but felt them after being done, most of which you'd feel anyway just with the prep work done on any car, before the ceramic coating is applied.. Personally, if you take care of your car, to me, they're kind of a waste of money, but that's just my opinion). . Once the P&S is cured, about ~4 hours, you'll really noticed the benefit of it. Run your fingers on it. Slick. I typically do two coats. It's very fast and easy to apply, after claying and drying, one can do an entire car in about 15 minutes. Two coats a little more, obviously, 2nd coat goes on quicker. . Remember; once it's fully Cured is when the full benefit comes into play with this product. I recently was driving my car in some heavy rain, and it in fact did work similar to like a fresh coat of wax, so with that, I was very impressed. I do not believe, however, that it would last as long as something like a Klasse Acrylic type coating. But, since it's so easy to apply, who cares, use it like a detailing spray and just do your car all the time; it's quick and efficient and really not that expensive if you buy it in the gallon, buy a good sprayer, and go to town. . Happy Detailing.

This is a pretty easy review, just buy this damn stuff, it’s perfect! Done Seriously though this is an exceptional product That I love to use on my cars and around the house. The depth of shine is mind blowing, the hydrophobic properties are incredible, it makes washing your car easier and easier. One of the cool things about using this is that when you usually use a more conventional wax, the static properties pick up a lot of dust initially and you almost need to wash the car one more time to make it look good. Not Beadmaker, it’s like it repels dust, leaving your car clean and dust free for a much longer period of time. The other outstanding quality is the depth of shine you get, if you have metal flakes in your paint, it almost makes it three dimensional which is super cool. It has a really nice smell and won’t break the bank.

I recently applied Bead Maker as a topcoat over my existing ceramic coat on my 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn, and I continue to be impressed. It is easily applied, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish that really enhances the shine of my truck. I even bought a gallon’s worth, which I plan on using throughout the winter when I drive through the touchless car wash. The added protection and ease of use have made it a staple in my car care routine. I highly recommend Bead Maker for anyone looking to elevate their vehicle's aesthetics while ensuring long-lasting durability.

Pros: - Exceptionally easy to use. No streaking whatsoever. Fun to apply. - Smells great. - Leaves a fantastic gloss. - Great hydrophobic properties. Cons: - Doesn't exactly offer protection and would not rely on it at all for that purpose. - Not designed to last long. After it rains once, it's pretty much all gone. In my experience, it lasts about two weeks. - Dust/pollen magnet. All hydrophobic products will cause water beading with a propensity to leave behind dust, but Bead Maker seems to be especially annoying in this regard.

Super um sein auto zu versiegeln selbst nach über 2 Wochen perlt noch alles Super ab.

Produit appliqué sur la voiture en environ 45mn, très bon résultat, tres bonne brillance, à voir la longévité car l'auto n'a pas encore reçu la pluie en ~1 mois. Le bidon je pense fait 4/5 voitures berlines

El brillo que deja es increíble, huele bastante bien y es muy fácil de aplicar.

Ottimo prodotto
