Bead hero vs PA Cosmic vs Nova Jet vs OverCoat
Application:
PA Cosmic:
It’s Polish Angel. Smooth like butter. Barely need to wipe off as it almost wipes away when applying.
If applications ease is important there are non better.
Note: this product was bought in December 2018. It is over 4 years old. Still works well where PA states shelf life of 2years opened.
For those that think it’s a lot that’s $25 a year. I think my paint is worth it.
Bead Hero:
Nice application but instructions say mist evenly across entire surface which seems like a lot of product and a dumb way to apply.
I put five sprays with the others 3.
Spread nice, no real drag. Buffed easily no streaks.
It did have a bit of pungent odor.
Kamikaze OverCoat v5:
This was a treat as I only used V1 and it was grabby as all hell. Only like it if i used as drying aid or on damp panel.
This was just like bead hero in application but less product used. Pretty easy. Not PA easy but I would not hesitate to buy over PA because of application if this last longer.
I put this next to Bead hero as these are two I would like to compare. Sort of a cheap vs expensive.
NV Nova Jet
This was most grabby to apply but also side i felt that felt most rough and thought “I shoulda clayed.”
If I had to list 1-4
Would
Cosmic
OverCoat
Bead Hero
Jet
All were pretty easy. OverCoat and BH were VERY close but OC one as it didn’t have pungent smell

Re: Bead hero vs PA Cosmic vs Nova Jet vs OverCoat
I'm very curious to see how this pans out.
I've been thinking about buying Overcoat 5.0 but the $100 is a hard pill to swallow when I have 3/4 full bottle of 3.1 sitting on my shelf. That said, I did jut buy Bead Hero because if it performs as good as the couple of videos of it show to it'll be money well spent.
If it's on par with Overcoat for 1/3 of the price then I'll be extremely happy. If not, oh well. It'll go down as fun to try out but a bit of a waste of money just like Diamond Pro Tech Quick Body and Polish Angel High Gloss. Quick Body doesn't hurt nearly as much as High Gloss since it was under $20 for Black Friday. Quick Body was nice to apply and I think looked as good or better than High Gloss, but the water behavior was extremely lackluster. I definitely got caught up in the Polish Angel hype with High Gloss though. It's a nice product to use, but the lack of durability and high cost just aren't worth it.

Jet was always schizophrenic for me; some applications would be amazing in the rain, other times it would be ‘meh’. Never much fun to apply though. Always looked stunning on black.
Can’t believe you have 4 year old Cosmic…admirable restraint!

I’ll be honest and was expecting more from BH as it was flying of the car in the video I saw. I do feel water does not fly off the hood as well as it did my mustang. Aerodynamics?
The truck he used it on may have been coated, not sure.
I may try it and the OC on the front fenders but may be coating soon so not sure.

Well crap, that's disappointing to hear. My car is coated (22PLE HPC) but dire need of a 3PH decontamination wash after Winter. I'll hold off on opening/trying Bead Hero when it arrives so I can return it if it's not all it claims to be.
