    50/50 Beadmaker test on a black vehicle coming up later today. We’re going to find out the truth.
    I did testing myself about two years ago. If I use BM as a drying aid in high humidity 85%+ it's a dust magnet. It takes to long to cure to a slick surface. If I apply in lower humidity say 60% or less it works great. My problem with it is that I have to wash my car in the morning to avoid washing in direct sunlight and the humidity here in S. Florida is always 85%+ at 8-9 in the morning. BM is a non starter for me for that reason.

    My vehicle is black so the dust is really noticeable. No such dusting issues with my current drying aid Ultima Acrylic Waterless Wash.....ever!

    It's worth noting my car isn't garaged. I'm at odds with nature and nature wins with BM.

    So in other words the test was done on the same car, on 2 separate days… Sorry, but that’s invalid.

    Re: Best easy to use Topper

    Why would that be invalid? On high humidity days it gathered dust, on low humidity days it didn't. That's all the proof I needed.

    Humidity is the only variable.

    Different days, different conditions, different opinion based on your mood and how you decided to judge the visuals on 2 completely different days.
    Not a 50/50
    How do we know it wasn’t windy 1 day and not the other?
    Exactly how long was the waiting period on both tests?
    The list goes on and on…

    And where’s the link to your thread documenting any of this?

    How do you expect the guy to get half his hood humid and the other half arid for an extended period of time to test?

    Well, I wish you luck. Since your in SoCal you have less humidity and may have better results.

    It’s less about humidity, more about an equal test.
