So i purchased the gallon size of bead maker a few weeks back. Last week I got a chance to finally try it out on my wife's SUV. The car was coated with Polish Angel Viking a little less than a year ago.
Last week I gave the car a usual wash w Chemical Guys honey dew, chemical decon, another wash, and used my leaf blower to dry it. All good. I initially applied bead maker as I was drying the car and I would say that I wasn't too impressed. I then put another coat on a few hours later that night and it was just ok. I used my Cobra Micro Fiber plush (yellow and purple) towels to apply. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. The next morning I woke up and said, what the heck, I have a gallon of this stuff so let me put another layer on. I walked away and forgot about it. Later that day as i was heading out I looked over at the car and thought, wow, this thing is looking glossy. So glossy in fact that my wife noticed, LoL. It's been 8 days since I washed it and it looks like the car just got washed. in the 8 days since, I have driven the car a bunch through country roads, twisties, high way driving, local driving, and through two days of rain showers. Not until today did I notice a little dirt starting to accumulate on the doors of the car and I had to actually look hard. The rear trunk door also has some build up but that's because of the design of the car, it always gets dirty there. But its not as bad as usual.
I gotta say, I have not put much of a dent on the gallon of bead maker, and if this is going to continue to shine and keep the car cleaner longer than I'm used to then I'm probably going to be sticking with it for a while. i was getting ready to detail the vehicle and remove whatever is left of Polish Angel Viking and replace it with Gyeon Mohs just because I want to finish it off already (hate the smell) but since the bead maker is making it so easy to keep looking good I think i'll keep this process for the next 10 months when my lease runs out.
FYI, i have been using Gyeon and Cure on one of my other cars for 2 years now and it has held up amazingly well. Looks awesome and as bad as I want to recoat the car with something else it just doesn't need it yet. if you are looking for a long term coat then I recommend Gyeon if you can deal w the smell. If you want a quick fix I think you would like Bead Maker.
Thanks for reading and comments welcome. Sorry the pics are so tiny. Not sure why.
