BeadMaker 50/50 dust test
Hey all, here I’ll be testing to see whether or not Beadmaker attracts more or less dust on a panel over the course of a few days. I’ll be checking in with this vehicle and taking pics and posting the results, so lets find out how this turns out.
7/26/21 Test subject: All clean after a quick waterless wash using McKee’s N-914
I separated the hood into an unmistakable pattern using thick drying towels in order to prevent any cross contamination.
Taped down the towels
Now we’re ready to begin spraying
I sprayed a good amount of Beadmaker on this portion of the hood, at least 15 sprays.
Wiped it down…
We have a few streaks, but that’s ok, I’d rather just leave them be instead of trying to wipe them off and risk wiping away the product.
Remove the tape/towels, and we can see the difference between the sections.
It was kind of difficult to show the difference on camera, but this pic was able to capture it pretty well.
I separated the rest of the car, passenger side got Beadmaker, driver side didn’t.
During the 30min. or so after application, the Beadmaker side had noticeably less dust accumulated on it than the controlled panel, not enough to capture on camera, but my eyes noticed it. I wouldn’t consider it significant enough though.. Only time will tell as I continue checking in with this car over the next several days.

Nice, it could be weather/location dependent. Let's see if you end up with same results I had when I used dust maker, I mean bead maker.
I never had streaking issues though, that black mercedes looks way nicer in the spots w/o BM. The product always delivered gloss and slickness when I used it, it didn't last which is not a big deal to me. But the dust was a big deal and ultimately what made me get rid of it.

I think it had more to do with having limited space to wipedown and having to do it vertically on the hood. It didn’t leave streaks anywhere else on the car. I expect them to be gone today, but we’ll see when I check in with the car in a bit.
I wanted to make sure there was a substantial amount of Beadmaker on the panel in order to get definitive results for the test. Not just a couple of “spritz” here. Lol

I believe it has to be. I never experienced any excessive dust attraction with BM.
But there are enough rock-solid members on here that have, so I have zero reason to doubt them.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Perhaps also what the base LSP is makes a difference. I used it on a McKee’s coating that was on its way out. Since I was having issues with dust and pollen attraction I didn’t want to risk putting BM on my car which at the time had Gyeon Syncro on.
