Don't know how we got to a tire shine, but IMO Tuf Shine can't be beat for durability and no greasy film. I hate scrubbing tires and now it's soap and water clean up for me and no dressing after cleaning.

I enjoy using the Double Black Collection Bead Maker Paint Protectant, especially on friends and family members vehicles. Most of my friends and family members could care less about cleaning or detailing their cars. If they don't care about their cars, then I'm not going to waste my time spending hours detailing their cars. I can simply wash their vehicles and quickly apply Bead Maker and they will be extremely happy with how glossy their paint looks and how slick the paint feels.
My neighbor was outside last night washing his two-year old Honda Civic Type R "White" when I came home from work. He's always talking with me about my car and how I keep it looking so nice and clean. He knows nothing about car care, so I always try explaining things, but it just goes right over his head. I walk over to him and tell him "Car looks great!" while he's washing the car. I look over the car and see it's loaded with rail dust and feels like sandpaper. He thought that was just a defect with the paint lol. I went inside and grabbed a bottle of Bead Maker and sprayed it on the car and wiped it off. He asked what is that stuff? I told him it's an inexpensive paint protectant called "Bead Maker" that's extremely slick and glossy. He said wow look at the shine. I said yes, it's very glossy. I told him to now feel the paint surface. He was blown away with how slick his paint surface was. He looked at me and said, Bobby can you please bring home a bottle of that stuff so I can use it on my car from now on. I said sure it only retails for $10.99 and I'll get you a discount on it too. He was also amazed by the price of this product for how good it performed.
Now remember his Civic Type R was loaded with rail dust and felt like sandpaper. No iron remover, no clay bar, no polish was used before applying the Bead Maker to his painted surfaces. He was extremely happy with an inexpensive spray product that only took a few minutes to apply and made such a big difference in the appearance of his vehicle. His Civic Type R now looks extremely glossy and slick to the touch.
I did explain to him that he should use an Iron Remover, Clay Bar and Polish to remove the rail dust and airborne contaminants from his vehicle to get the best performance out of the Bead Maker. His Paint surface would look and feel even better if he took the time and detailed his car the correct way.
Inexpensive, easy to use, great results = Happy Customer

I've haven't tried this stuff - but honestly if you're using it once to twice a week I would just use UWW+. Super slick and beads water very well. Also prolly costs about a dollar to make a gallon.
For a spray sealant I feel like Sonax BSD is the benchmark. It's not super slick - because it's not loaded with silicone(s). You use very little of it as well. I'd put it up against this stuff for beading/longevity and I'm pretty sure it would win.
I agree with you about sticking to one product and using it frequently. I'm just not sure why people are going crazy for this product because it seems there are other things on the market that exceed the performance of it. Slickness in detailing seems to go a long way - I get it. It does feel good when you apply it. In reality, I don't think it ads to the performance of a product.
I've used UWW and a lot of others, Beadmaker is my current favorite. With all do respect you can't make a comment like "I'm just not sure why people are going crazy for this product because it seems there are other things on the market that exceed the performance of it." if you haven't personally tried it. I buy it by the gallon on 25% off with free shipping so cost doesn't matter to me. I also don't care about slickness or durability with a spray detailer. Shine is a whole different thing and IMHO UWW doesn't even come close in the shine department to BM. My pics speak for that. No way does UWW do that.
I have BSD too, and I'm sticking with Beadmaker. It's 94 degrees in Tampa right now, full blown skin burning sun in 15-20 minutes. My Rogue is probably 180 plus degress right now. I can spray BM on it liberally and shine it up. BSD would take half a bottle easily to do the same area and it streaks big time.
