Exceeded Expectations
By Dustin
from Columbus, Indiana
on November 15, 2024
Verified Buyer
I'm always looking to try new post-wash detailers. This isn't marketed as simply a detailer, because it isn't one. It's definitely a few steps above. Which is probably why it quickly became by go-to. It's a fantastic product and one that will remain a staple in my lineup. Glad I went with the big bottle!
Pros
  • Easy on/off. Streak & haze free. Incredible slickness and hydrophobic properties.
Cons
  • Zero.

P & S Beadmaker + P & S Dream Maker, a marriage made in heaven.
By Ron P.
from Oklahoma City, OK
on March 21, 2024
This is a fantastic product. I have coated my car with Adams Advanced Graphene for protection, but this makes it unbelievably slick, and it's apparently compatible. The only downside is that it attracts dust. The air moving over it generates an electrical charge that attracts the dust. Thankfully there is an easy remedy. Pan the Organizer recommends adding 10% P & S Dream Maker which helps greatly in reducing the attraction of dust.
Pros
  • Unbelievable slickness with very little work
Cons
  • Attracts dust

Insane shine
By Brent
from China Spring, TX
on September 24, 2023
I used some Collonite 845 and topped it with some Bead Maker. The shine is insane. Used it on my black 2023 Yukon and my white 2023 Sierra. It goes on so easily. I plan on using it every two weeks after the weekly wash. Excited to see how the hydrophobic effect lasts.
Pros
  • Easy to apply.
  • Insane shine.
  • Hydrophobic
Cons
  • None, aside from needing it to cure for 8 hours before driving it / getting it wet.
Fabulous shine with Beadmaker
By CarCraazyAl

on August 2, 2023
Verified Buyer
Beadmaker is fantastic! It is easy to use and makes my car's paint SHINE. However, I live in a hot, dry climate and do notice my car seems to get dusty easily (which is why I purchased Dreammaker at the same time). I mix Beadmaker with Dreammaker 10:1 which does seem to reduce the dust attraction. Overall, I am very pleased with Beadmaker!
Pros
  • Easy-to-use, competitive pricing
Cons
  • Does attract dust more readily than other products

Glossiest spray around. Good drying aid.
By Tyler
from California
on December 1, 2022
The best gloss/shine/depth possible from a spray, period. Don't expect it to last long, but use it as a drying aid after each wash. I wouldn't use it as a stand alone sealant, though it could, but instead I use it as a topper/drying aid. Professional detailer told me to dilute it 1:1 with distilled water. That didn't diminish it's abilities at all, and now I have 2x the product.

Definitely adds slickness to the paint. I’m not sure on the dust attraction that others have complained about. I add this on top of a ceramic spray coated paint. Lasts maybe 2-4 weeks tops

This stuff is amazing. Applies extremely easily and wipes right off. It also smells fantastic. I haven't tested long term durability yet but I've been applying after washes on top of Wolfgang SiO2 and the combo works very well together.

An excellent synthetic paint sealant. Can be used when the vehicle is dry or wet (as a drying agent). Can be used on all exterior surfaces. Gives a great glossy shine and effective hydrophobics.

Hard to beat for the price
By Daniel
from California
on May 19, 2021
Verified Buyer
Really good price point if you get the gallon. Get the bottle first and if you like it buy the gallon - and you'll have an empty P&S bottle to fill up. Gloss is great. This product is great to maintain an existing sealant or wax. I'd put the ceramic/graphene sprays above this product but there's a big price increase to jump on that boat.
Pros
  • Great Gloss & easy to use. Good smell. Price is hard to beat
Cons
  • Can attract dust (like all these products). Longevity is questionable.
Warm Glow on Black SUV
By Wendy

The first time I used it, I wanted more bottles. I was surprised by how slick it was at first application and how it progresses the day after and their is a glow to my car that I was pleasantly surprised because I have never seen my car have a glow. I always use it after a wash or rinseless wash. Extremely easy to apply to a car especially if you have no time.
Cons
  • Since I have a black car dust does seem to stick to it more.

This stuff is amazing!
By Brian

I've never written a review for a car care product because most of them that I've used are akin to being sold by snake oil salesmen. The hype that markets the product never matches the actual results you obtain. The Renny Doyle Double Black Bead Maker Paint Protectant is different! Not only did it meet the marketing but it exceeded it! I was highly doubtful that a product that supposed to just be spray on and wipe off would be a) that easy to apply, and b) work as well as they say. This is the real deal! I washed my 2017 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition at the car wash and then brought it home. Outside temperature was 55 degrees and partly sunny. I had purchased the product along with the microfiber towel bundle from AutoGeek (great and fast service, by the way!). Following the directions I sprayed a small area at a time starting with the hood, and wiping the product with long, smooth strokes. I was surprised that the product immediately made the black paint pop and had an incredibly slippery feel to it. No effort to wipe off at all. Plus it's got a great smell. After the success with the paint I decided to try it on the plastic pieces and also on the tonneau cover as they were looking a bit faded. They now look great and brand-new! I then decided to also try it on the glass. What do you know? It works there just as well as Rainex! I'll definitely be buying this product again! Can't wait to try it on my son's 2016 Guard Metallic Mustang GT.

Pros
  • Incredibly easy to use. Spray on, wipe off.
  • Can be used on any surface.
  • Smells good.
  • Beads up well.
Cons
  • Haven't encountered any. My truck's an outside truck so it will be interesting to see how often I need to reapply.

Pros
  • Versatile
  • Smells great
  • Increased slickness
  • Deeper gloss
Cons
  • Can leave streaks but you can flow with a dry microfiber to correct.

Detailed our CR-V first using Collinite and finishing up with Bead Maker. I let it cure in the garage overnight and when I saw the result I was amazed. The shine and depth of the paint was very impressive. (time will tell how long it lasts) I would definitely recommend Bead Maker to anyone who wants to see what their paint should look like.
Pros
  • 1. Price
  • 2. Easy on, easy off
  • 3. A little goes a long way.
Cons
  • Can't think of any.

Really Nice as LPS or Drying Agent
By Paul
from MARTINEZ, CA
on August 29, 2020
I use this as a topper/LSP after washing or as the drying agent after a rinseless wash. Easy to apply, don't need much, and have had no issues with streaking or hazing. Have not tried it as a paint sealant as I am happy with other sealants and have a lot of them left to use.
Pros
  • Nice shine. Not streaky or hazy.
Cons
  • Not the cheapest as a spray on wax or final touch detailer but the performance pros above are worth considering if looking at cheaper options.

This will give you a real deep gloss on any color.
Pros
  • Easy to use.
  • Deep gloss
Cons
  • Will not last for long. maybe few weeks on your paint, even after proper preparation of your paint.
  • It will bead water, but not the best beading product out there. They should name it "Gloss maker" instead of bead maker.

I've been using this for a year now and haven't used anything else. Makes the paint feel smooth and slick, brings out the deep color and beads water very well. Great to use while drying the car or just to get a great shine after a wash. The longer you let it sit the smoother the paint feels.

Product has a nice smell, goes on easy on, but leaves streaks on one of my black cars. The other 2 cars do not have that issue. Beading holds up very nice for a couple of weeks. I see it leaves less streaks when used as a drying aid.

Cons
  • May leave streaks on solid black colors
Eerily almost unnaturally slick
By Chris
from Brevard, NC
on April 15, 2020
Verified Buyer
Nice smell. Easy on, acts a little strange compared to other spray on waxes/sealants. Strange, but not difficult in any way. Beading has held up very nice for a few weeks now. The slickness is almost weird (unnatural?), it feels like nothing else, especially on a recently corrected surface. Haven't used as a drying aid yet, but all the other hype has been accurate so... The spray bottle is 1 initial application, get the gallon too and refill the labeled bottle for your next wash. I can't see using as much when used as a drying aid.
Pros
  • Slicker than whale snott
Cons
  • Bottle runs out

Bead Maker is an excellent product to use as a drying aid, or any time when extra gloss and water-beading are desired. It's slick like no other product I've used, and it makes wiping off bird droppings and sap an easier task. It's very easy to use (can be used on wet or dry vehicles), and the scent is awesome.
Pros
  • Water-beading
  • Gloss
  • Scent
  • Easy to apply
  • Price
Cons
  • It doesn't last incredibly long

Hello I am a Professional Detailer in the great state of Texas. This product is an excellent choice for certain Detail packages and / or certain budgets and / or specific situations,.

Pros
  • It adds instant value with its glossy shine and super slick finish, our Clients literally have a jaw dropping WOW when they see their vehicles.
  • The price point, ease of application, and instant results are undeniably amazing.
Cons
  • The Texas Sun
  • In Texas we have very serious Summers and this product does not like the heat, or direct sunlight.
  • We accidently left a gallon in direct sunlight, in our office. The color of the product changed from orange to pink. We also experienced challenges with applications in direct sunlight.
  • Durability:
  • the Texas.Sun is our biggest critic and is extremely unforgiving, This product with all its Pro's (super glossy finish, paint enhancing soft and slickness, ease of application)
  • this Product does not stand up to our Texas Sun there is a remedy, reapply early and often.

I've been using this Bead Maker for about 6 month on my daily driver 2018 Challenger. It does make your paint feel baby butt smooth but doesn't seem to last all that long maybe a month. I did buy a gallon so no problem having enough to put another coat on. I have at least 6 coats on my car since I have apply it at a rate of once a month. I drive 100 plus miles a day and wash my car once a week. I like it but will try another product once I've used this up. The beading is good and I never dry my car with a towel I use my leaf blower I'm not adding any scratches and when washing i use my Car Pro Sheep hair. Guess I'm looking for something more durable that actually lasts a little longer but I guess that is what we all quest for. I like it for the price and its spray on wipe off so it is easy to use 10 minutes and your whole car is done so that's the give and take. Easy over time spent so 4 stars from me. I like it.
Pros
  • Easy use
Cons

I like to take care of my cars when I can on the weekends and don't feel like trying to compound and polish for that shine. This product covers that up and makes the paint shine.
