Just went over the UPGP sealant on my boat and car with Bead Maker, and the results were pretty good. What was more impressive was what it did on my truck. It sits outside 24/7/365 and had nothing but a few washes since last fall. Washed and Iron X’ed and put on Bead Maker. Shine and gloss are as good or better than when I used UPGP, and the Bead Maker cures faster. Any used car lot that isn’t using this stuff in their detail bay is wasting money.

I used PrestaCut on my 20yo Baja and shined it up pretty well.

Well sure, but yours is $8.99 for 16oz at Harbor Freight versus the Bead Maker at $34 for 128oz (delivered), so your choice is double the price! Not all of us have that “Cigarette money”, but your choice is definitely working for you, that looks great.

Also, and this is important- when you buy the NuFinish, the profits go to some nameless, faceless mega-corp. When you buy Bead Maker, a portion of the profits go to a forum member, who in turn may use said money to support single mothers during a catamaran event in Michigan. That’s Charity!! (Or Mercedes, or Diamond, or whomever is next up on the center stage).

I used FOY Awesome Buff and Vitreo today for some minor paint correction. Very impressed- super easy to use.

It’s what the company used that did MCon race boat as well as Ron’s 2 new boats. I have contact with them and have just sent them some samples of our products.

I ceramic coated our Fountain May of 2017. Since then all I have ever done is put Bead Maker on it a total of about 5 times, ZERO wax. And it still cleans up 2 years later as if I had just waxed it only like a few weeks earlier.
My Bead Maker arrived on my doorstep today based on your recommendation.... I'll report back. My old superboat gets chalky quick.

Who is the member that makes Bead Maker? I see lots of sites, but I'd like to buy direct and give it a try.
