P&S Detailing Products C2501 - Bead Maker Paint Protectant (1 Gallon)

IN MY OPINION ITS THE BEST DETAIL PRODUCT EVER MADE! I shared some with fellow detalers and it’s designed to use on different areas of the vehicles.Ease of use,Value for Money”

I had a buddy turn me onto this (He didn't buy it, he just sent me links to it and asked me what I thought). Since I've been an avid detailer for over 30 years, from what I saw, it looked interesting, so I bought a gallon of it (I never go small). Now, to be clear, I'm nobody's disciple on car detailing products, but I do have my go-to's and products that I consider to be very high quality. I do like a lot of the chemical guys products, especially their spray on detailers, glossers, etc. And of course, any Klasse products are high on the list, albeit far more work than most are willing to subscribe to. This P&S was interesting to me due to the water sheeting claims. And to be clear, it does sheet water pretty good, but no better than any other "Applied" Wax (like a good coat of klasse acrylic (Silver bottle), a good carnauba wax, or basically many of them, even the cheapest waxes will sheet water). Where this P&S product really excels is in the category of the EASE of application. It is very easy to apply, and who doesn't like that? More so than that; when you do apply it the streaks are pretty much minimal, so it's very forgiving and easy to work with. . Of course, Step 1: Clean your car well! Nuff said on that. . Step2: I recommend claying your car at least 3 times a year, at a minimum. If you don't like to use actual clay (some don't) then at least use those claying mitts, which work very well and they're fast (sold on amazon, get the "fine" grade when it comes to grit). Plus the mitts don't flag trim with clay scraps, so that's a good part. Note: You don't have to clay your car EVERY TIME you want to use the P&S, but it's good to do it every once in a while, especially if you park it outside. . Step 3: After claying and completely drying off the car (use an air compressor or leaf blower to get water out of all the cracks, seams, etc). Take a fine piled microfiber cloth (like a medium to large drying type cloth) and liberally spray on the P&S. Wipe it down quick, with minimal buffing. If it's a reasonable mild day it should dry immediately and not streak. Remember, with this product there's a difference between "Dry" and "Cure". . Now, when you apply it, at first you might not "Feel" like it's that slippery, in fact, many of the "Detailers", like the Chemical Guys Ultimate Synthetic detailer, or their "Glosser", may in fact, seem slicker when applied. Where the P&S really comes into play is when it's past drying and it's CURED. Once it's cured it feels like you just got a ceramic coating put on your car (No, I've never purchased Ceramic coatings, but felt them after being done, most of which you'd feel anyway just with the prep work done on any car, before the ceramic coating is applied.. Personally, if you take care of your car, to me, they're kind of a waste of money, but that's just my opinion). . Once the P&S is cured, about ~4 hours, you'll really noticed the benefit of it. Run your fingers on it. Slick. I typically do two coats. It's very fast and easy to apply, after claying and drying, one can do an entire car in about 15 minutes. Two coats a little more, obviously, 2nd coat goes on quicker. . Remember; once it's fully Cured is when the full benefit comes into play with this product. I recently was driving my car in some heavy rain, and it in fact did work similar to like a fresh coat of wax, so with that, I was very impressed. I do not believe, however, that it would last as long as something like a Klasse Acrylic type coating. But, since it's so easy to apply, who cares, use it like a detailing spray and just do your car all the time; it's quick and efficient and really not that expensive if you buy it in the gallon, buy a good sprayer, and go to town. . Happy Detailing.

Brilliant product for a quick detailers spray the gloss after using this is up there with the best but even though the beading is good initially it fades dramatically over the next week or so so the protection period of 6 12 months is well out of the question it's more like 2 or 3 weeks but this is a good product to use with your maintenance wash (which I do) every week just mainly for the gloss because it really does pop after using this, the application is easy you just apply this generously with a microfibre cloth/sponge after drying the car and then buff away with a clean micro fibre cloth some people use this as a drying aid but I wouldn't advise that because your going to lose half the product from streaking and running off the car

El producto es de excelente calidad, me sorprende cómo brilla la pintura de mi auto al aplicarlo, es muy fácil de aplicar y de retirar y le deja a la pintura una textura tan suave que no me es posible pasarle la mano una sola vez.

Brilliant, literally. Great product. Easy on easy off and beads like no other. Gives a real gloss shine makes washing dirt off really easy. Well worth the money.
