    Bead Maker

    Beadmaker, out of the sun on a cool panel, is one of the most user friendly products I’ve ever tried. Does NOT streak/smear and is very slick. Great drying aid! The water behavior and durability is sub par, however.

    Gloss and slickness it certainly has.
    That right there. I did my wife's black Taurus' hood with BM and BSD side by side, and the BSD side definitely showed more depth.
    The BSD edged the BM in water behavior and beading, but not by much. BM is a good product and relegated to my older vehicles only because I want the enhanced water beading/ self cleaning qualities on the newer car.

    I had to try BM because of all of the buzz going around about it. I like it, for sure.

    But when it runs out, I will stay with my old buddy DG Aquawax. (Hope he's not mad at me. )
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
