Nanolex SiSplash vs. Jescar Bead-it

[Zenny]

I thought it would be fun to share a few water bead pictures of the two SiO2 based sealants. They are both slick to the touch. SiSplash can be applied to a wet or dry panel and the label specifically states it plays well with all surfaces including vinyl and PPF. Also a two week test on our daily driven family SUV that’s parked outside showed SiSplash holding onto its water behavior better than Sonax BSD.

Very close but the Nanolex takes the win.

That black paint looks great. You can tell a difference in the pictures.

Nanolex is good stuff. Let us know how it holds up.

Contact wash today. This past week we drove ~600 miles round trip from New Jersey to spend time away in south Maine. What a beautiful state. Our SUV sat outside, went to beaches and on the way home we met quite a bit of rain from Storm Fay.

I would say both sealants did their job and have held up protection. The only signs of beading deterioration are on panels under the side mirrors hit by traffic film. See videos below.

If I had to nitpick it would be Bead-it as it sheets slower. After wash I did not top with any additional sealant but used Meguiar’s M34 Final Inspection after drying to clean up some spots. I’ve had M34 in my garage since 2005, still find it useful here and there.

Trying a new soap. Aenso One

Edit: Someone reported my SiSplash short vid on YoutTube and it was removed for violating their community standards. Strange because it was not a sale promotion nor anything to do with violence. Reposting it below
