    Review - Dr. Beasley's Paint Hero

    Dr. Beasley's Paint Hero

    Recently Dr. Beasley's released a drying aid. This comes in both a matte version and a non-matte version (gloss paint).

    I decided to gamble on this and try it out. Other than the surface primers (NSP 45, 95, 150), I have not been overly impressed with the products I have tried from the line up.

    This product is a ceramic drying aid which consists of SiO2 and TiO2 in the formula which seems to be a common theme in their protection products and surface primers. Like all drying aids, it is designed to act as lubrication during the drying process hence why Dr. B refers to it as a drying lubricant which is technically the proper term.

    Paint hero is best applied onto the towel and then drying the surface. Spraying it onto the surface seems to make it harder to work with in terms of wiping it off.

    It can be used on wet, dry or semi wet paint. It does rainbow as it goes on the surface as if it were a coating. It is not a slick product even if Dr. B states it is. It is more of a smooth finish rather than tacky. The best description I can give it, is the similar feel of Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer which is not that slick either at least to me.

    The thing that impressed me was that it was hydrophobic rather than hydrophilic like most of their other products. Hydrophobic behavior looks rather impressive.

    Only thing not listed is the durability from Dr. B.

    Thanks for the review on this one Guz

    At first glance I kinda looked past it based on price, but seeing how little you actually use in practice that definitely helps.

    It was also nice to see in your video that your Frothe technique looks about like when I do it, though in hind sight I might be over applying it a bit. I had been worrying that in my haste I wasn't rotating the towel as much as maybe I needed to be, but I'm pretty much doing what you were.

    Let us know if you run into any drawbacks after it's been on the paint for a while.

    Re: Review - Dr. Beasley's Paint Hero

    Does the rainbow effect go away on it's own or do you have to go back our the area to remove it?

    The lack of durability information might be a bit of intentional honesty. I don't think I'd expect any durability from a drying aid. That isn't it's purpose and adding any durability claims could mislead people into thinking they could use it as a spray sealant. We've seen that before...

    I guess you missed that in the video as I demo it. Product needs to be wiped off.

    Thanks. I didn't have an opportunity to watch the video yet. I read the text of posts in small chunks as the day allows.

    This is true. I received a phone call from Chris of Dr. Beasley's today and he reiterated the same thing. That this is to aid as a lubricant when drying the surface.
