    Someone really botched this up.

    Not sure you can see the video but on the 3D Instagram page they took 3D Bead It Up and sprayed then rinsed it off. Looked absolutely awful. It's not even meant to be used like that.

    They also removed all of the critical posts people were making about it.

    Looked good to me. The water was pooling up, and making its way off the paint.

    I used to obsess over water behavior.

    After seeing the damage it can do, and considering the time I wasted chasing it, I'm over it.

    As long as I can visibly see the water sliding off the paint somehow, I'm good.

    After seeing all the countless videos of product testing where beading is the only criteria, it's beginning to feel a bit "cult-ish". I would say trendy, but it's been going on for decades.

    I can say for certain that at this point, I would prefer sheeting action.

    I don’t disagree with this sentiment but then the name would be Sheet It Up. Actually, that would be a good name and greatly help in the marketing as you’d have to change mindshare that as you mentioned has been going for decades. Would be interesting to see if it were successful but the marketing materials would be easy to make a compelling case against beading. Doesn’t mean it would sell well but it very well could.

    I agree, I like the sheeting abilities of products more. Maybe they should call it "Sheet it up"

    What I find interesting though is you can't have one without the other. In other words, dump a bucket of water on to a surface and it will run off very fast. Spray it with a sprayer and it will bead.

    Re: 3D Bead It Up

    I agree, but im seeing this as just anotger way for them to market the product.

    For ppl that want a splash of protection just by spritzing it on a wet vehicle then rinsing off. That way theres no extra time involved in the whole wiping down.

    Personally i wouldnt use it that way but, from a marketing standpoint, it could appeal to folks that arent as into this game deep like we are

    It does look rather pitiful given the name is bead it up. Their social media person should have known better.
