    Best easy to use Topper

    One more user experience I want to share:

    There’s a YouTube video out there in which Renny Doyle mentions the reason behind using so much Bead Maker for initial application, “ The microfiber towel soaks up the product.”

    Hearing this, I decided a different method of application.

    I used a microfiber block and sprayed a few sprays into it, then applied it to the surface in a back-and-forth motion. Every panel I would spray a few times
    into the block and repeat.

    The results were the same or better than the method they suggest. No streaking and just as glossy.

    I am surprised nobody has ever brought this up or questioned why so much Bead Maker is “required” for initial application. If they have, I haven’t read or seen it.

    This isn’t a defense of BM. Just something I tried. I have an unopened gallon of this stuff on hand as I rarely use it.

    YMMV

    All news to me lol I think the 303 graphene coating is the same with these precise and complicated application guidelines. Lets call it for what it is. They are selling something and pre-positioning themselves that if you don't apply it EXACTLY as recommended it will not meet your expectations. This is for a super cheap product. Its kinda funny really. Cheap product? Load up on the marketing..

    I guess thats why i have bought things like polish angel, carpro, sonax etc They just work none of this fuss and i have never used any of those in ideal conditions.

    Youtube influencers have to be getting paid well for these hood winks. I've been looking back at some more video's lately about a year ago and its clearly obviously turtlewax was paying a lot of these guys on youtube. PendS done the same. It worked.

    Do you want some turtlewax on your Pends? haha

    My rapidwaxx and high gloss as always been like that. Both are over a year old and still work great. Frankly high gloss can almost rival the beading of Nv EVO that i just applied to my roof. Outside. Nv EVO as been really good to me lol Easy to use and a bead monster, the best i've used so far as a driveway detailer. Quick application. No waiting around.

    If you put High Gloss and Rapid Wax on the same panel, can you tell a difference in looks or hydrophobics??

    Not really. Both look great. They seem to be different in looks then like a high gloss sealant like carpro reload. More character lol

    Subbed, as I like using these spray sealants you can easily slop on the paint and often times my sole LSP.

    Maybe...I do shake it to mix it up. A little finicky to use, but the PA High Gloss is an amazing product.
