    P&S Dream Maker

    I have no self control over detailing products. Did I need to try yet another drying aid? No! Did I want want to satisfy my curiosity? Yes!

    First, a little back story to this product. When P&S released Bead Maker a few years ago, it was lauded for it's gloss and slickness. It also added an additional layer to your existing paint protection or could be used as a standalone paint sealant. It's main use was as a drying aid after washing.

    While Bead Maker has many advantages, some found it hard to work with, streaking and dust attraction being the main offenders. I will note that I did not experience these traits. It was concluded that the frequent use of this product as a drying aid meant that it was causing a build up of the product over time. A protection for the protection for the protection for the protection type of situation, causing the product to streak.

    The solution to this issue, for those who use Bead Maker so frequently, was to come up with a product that had the qualities of Bead Maker without it's quirks. Dream Maker is the result.

    Dream Maker is a pure gloss enhancer with no protective qualities. It's designed to provide increased gloss and slickness without the layering issues of adding a protectant after each wash. Dream Maker will basically wash off after each wash. It can be used on a wet or dry vehicle, it's main use for me will be as a drying aid.

    So having said all that, does that mean Bead Maker is obsolete? No, not at all. I see Bead Maker being an important product to have to use on cars that don't get a weekly pampering. I can also see me alternating between Bead Maker and Dream Maker.

    The Rag Company also launched a pink version of their FTW drying towel to coincide with the launch of Dream Maker. Of course I fell for that as well! Down with gender stereotypes, I'm going to rock these pink towels with verve!



    I got a dud sprayer head with my bottle so I decanted it into a Kwazar bottle, I was going to that anyway.



    The application of this product is like any other drying aid, spritz a few sprays onto a panel, wipe with a towel and follow up with a secondary towel. You will want a smaller than normal drying towel for this method, like these 16 x 16 FTW's or even the medium Gauntlet's.

    Now, I have used more of these type of products that I care to admit, so I wasn't expecting to blown away. All of these products main claim to fame is gloss enhancement. But the finished result is pretty impressive, it certainly does what it says on the bottle!





    Due to the highly volatile weather out today, poring rain one minute then sunshine the next, I didn't get any natural light images. However I don't think I have seen the Jag this glossy before.





    So if you have a good base layer of protection on your vehicle, I think there is value in using a product like Dream Maker, perhaps alternating with another protective product.

    On light colors you won't notice a difference between the two.
