Post Your Beading Shots!!!

**Jayfro** · 04-13-2022, 02:48 PM

I think I may leave work a little early to get the beads off the car otherwise it’s going to look like total @ss!

A nice mixture of a little dirt, lots of pollen, and now light annoying rain all sitting on top of Beadmaker!

303 Touchless Sealant applied last weekend, although not the optimal temp when applied, it seems to be doing it'd job

Pretty pleased with the beading after 3-4 weeks since washed. If you compared the last photos it self cleaned up nice.

Finally the wheather changes during the day and the warmer temperature are coming. There are some work piling up this spring. 5 cars at least with a fun Audi 80 cab in bright yellow LOL. It's my brothers girlfriend car and she is a pro photagrophy at trade. Will ask her to take some pictures during the work

This is after applying my own concoction of a QD which includes uber sio2 rw and meg's hcd.

Full disclosure, I did apply a mixture of sonax bsd and meg's hcd a couple weeks ago so that might have something to do with it as well.

It rained 28 hours after my application of Can Coat. Was fun watching how fast the water would clear of the surface. 25 mph for Can Coat. The spray sealants I was using it took about 40 mph. Impressive stuff.

None of the previous products I used were bad. They all worked very well. Can Coat though is definitely on a different level though. I've found the Optimum products are the worst beaders of everything I tried (Opti-Seal/Hyper-Seal). Best beading spray was Megs HCD by far. Then Griot's 3 in 1.

Not really a fan of Optimum products, never was and especially not fan of that Ivan LaCriox guy who used to be with them either. The last straw was Optimum tire costing, turned every tire B R O W N I put it on and I bought the big bottle too

I hear you. I was extremely patient with their products. ONR i like. Love the look of HS/OS but they just don't perform well enough in terms of water repellency that I was looking for. Ivan seems OK, but he comes across arrogant at times. I questioned him on graphene and what it is adding to these formulations (specifically McKee's since they went full blown graphene). I said I'm not convinced it adds much to already good existing formulations. He said "that's too bad". Ok ahole. That's not an answer.
