I've been a TC fan since day one - the durability is really delivering value to my customers, and the ease of use is a big win for me. Again, thank you for presenting the facts
Not quite sure why you’re ‘torture testing’ beadmaker. Beadmaker is a topper and for most people, it is used as a drying aid after every wash. P&S makes no claims about durability. TC needs to be tested against some other ceramic detail spray with similar claims.
3years later still haven’t tried bead maker and I was debating weather too or not (been using TC) but now I know I’m not missing out. Thanks for that comparison man.
You like the TC? I’m debating between the two. From what I’m seeing TC last longer but BM shines more. But if something lasts longer, that means it protects better right?
When Beadmaker came out, I thought it was awesome and bought an extra gallon... Sadly, TW S&S works way better for way cheaper....for now. Cure time on BM is crucial... It makes the color look deeper and more clear.
T. Wax is cheaper by the pint, but BM is far cheaper if you buy the gal. Though BM requires a bit more product. I'm over BM. Initial slickness fleeting. Nice look, but l suspect dust and other contaminants sort of adhere to it more than some. Have to use more elbow grease and pressure, seems like.
Stev Blatt you’re right, BM is cheaper by gallon probably looking at a 20-25 dollar difference compare to turtle wax SnS, if only BM had the durability it would be a big winner, but I’m still happy with BM as a maintenance wash and man it smells great.
Bead Maker leaves a high gloss and sleek finish. How is the shine n gloss on the TC product? Obviously, the durability is impressive. Thanks for putting out great content.
Jimbo I was part of a group on Facebook that introduced me to Bead Maker. They really hyped the stuff up. I believe you were, or maybe you still are, on there too. The group became very pretentious and everyone wanted to just kiss the moderators butt. I had to leave because I couldn't take the online detailers anymore with no real world experience except what they do to their garage queens on the weekend. You're the real deal bud. Keep up these videos! By watching your channel, you really help us small time detailers keep up with the industry.
@@waynemartin8979 Bead Maker is an amazing product with very impressive results. I get about 3 to 4 weeks before my truck stops beading. The gloss and slickness are great. I am very surprised at his results in this video because mine have been great. I will continue to buy and use bead Maker for a long time to come.
No worries, Wayne! Bead Maker is still super legit. I loved the 16 oz bottle of it I got, but I’m ready to try Technicians Choice. Hope you enjoy your Bead Maker!
I will still use beadmaker. It does make my black truck look better than what it did was new. I don't think you can go wrong with either product. As a performance junky, always looking at reducing wind drag. If we are going by normal day driving. I get roughly 3 weeks before having to reapply beadmaker.
once again great info dude!!! Love how you only have 3 spray products on your website!! Keep it simple stupid and dont over sell simple things. Keep up the hard honest work brotha!
Once again you have a hidden message to watch how and where we spray our iron remover and wheel products. This helps explain the often asked question on why we do wheels first. Why coat and protect the paint and then remove it by accident doing wheels last! Thanks Jimbo.
Nice , i juste uswd turtle wax Sio2 soap , done ironx before and its doing the same.result . Been 2 month did not wash the car and is still beading amazing
Bead Maker seems to be an Excellent product that is extremely slick, but also has a durability issue. I have never used the Ceramic Detail spray, which is why I am watching this video.
You have to do a heavy weight tilt. Seal and shine vs TC. I bought 5 gallons of the TC ceramic spray. Working great so far and can be used on virtually everything on the car. Awesome product and great price.
@@MrGlenna13 I say just a full high ph wax strip car soap and an iron decontamination should be okay. After that just apply the tec583 on a dry panel after a wash and it should fine.
Bead maker is amazing. This channel is about durability. People that use Bead maker do not use it for durability. I have Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant and magnum wax underneath and I use it only for gloss and slickness. Doesn’t make sense to just test bead maker for durability lol. Makes no sense. Bead maker is legit
@@briandraper7630 you don't care about durability? So if I came out with a product tomorrow that gave insane gloss and slickness, but literally came off the car with a stiff gust of wind, you would buy it? This detailing product business is too easy
@@derek723 you don’t get it do you … if you clean your car once a week what’s the point in longevity it’s so easy to apply you put it on once a week 😂 even though it’s not needed to be put on once a week it takes so little and it’s so cheap why not 🤷🏼♂️
@@rscholey85 it's really not that cheap if you're using it every week. We all like to detail our cars in different ways though. I get that. I just hate products that get hyped up with marketing $$$ and really don't live up to the expectations at all
I don’t own Technicians Choice, but I would love to use it instead of Bead Maker, not only for durability but also the easy of use, and have seen people applying it in direct sunlight with no issues, and no curing time? That is a winner to me. I own Beadmaker and I like it, but this yellow Technicians Choice, wow, amazing!!! Is there a way you can talk about the Wolfgang Uber Si02 diluted as a detail spray? I also use on my home appliances and wow, they look amazing, even on glass. Thank you!
Beadmaker is great as a drying aid or topcoat on your favorite sealant or wax. I spray the whole car with it including glass etc. It does get glossier hours later. Weak point is protection so I use it after every wash.
Finally some one who understands, yep! It is exactly so. But what where does dream maker play into this? Mor gloss at all? I have tried both and find Dream Maker easier to apply but im not sure about the gloss, if anyone can tell me their experiences with it
@@Alexbuildswebsites I never tried dream maker nor am I interested in trying it. I actually have been using griots ceramic speed shine. It's a great product that I use for several different applications.
Just for fun you should combine McGuire’s hybrid, seal and shine and technicians choice all on one side of the panel (mixed) and the most expensive ceramic to the other and then do the test 🤷🏼♂️ would be a cool video you know there are people out there that probably dont decon/clay or polish before applying these products anyway so what the heck 👍🏼
Hi Jimbo well since I own 2 gallons of Beadmaker I would bet ceramic detail spray will win by a long shot! Wow I was correct! I agree with you Jimbo for the ease of getting Beadmaker is super easy, but without any iron remover I get 60 to 90 days beadmaking. Also does a good on the car glass not needing wipers over 40 mph. Now to sell my unopened Beadmaker.....
Beadmaker is legit. These videos only show durability. That’s not what everyone is always after. Beadmaker is a “topper” not a standalone sealant. Doesn’t make sense to test it for sole durability. Need a gloss meter and test slickness etc. since most people (like myself) have great sealants and waxes underneath beadmaker and only use it for the boost in gloss and slickness and apply after every wash
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ sure If you’re using it as a stand alone sealant. Bead maker is really only used mainly during regular maintenance washes and quick protection. It is labeled a “topper” so anyone who uses it as a topper is just to temporarily get high gloss and slickness and hydrophobic properties for a bit to protect and maintain the main coating they already have on their cars. Beadmaker isn’t meant to last for so long I think at most it’s 1-2 months of protection by itself it’s just great for ease of use and quick protection.
i only use 1 thing on top of any coating seslant or wax and that is Xtreme Solutions topper or tech choice detailer. superrr gloss and incredible drying aide. it doesn't last a while but again its not for beading or protection its for shine and drying. the coating is for hydrophobics Tech choice is great though for the price get gallons . Never liked beadmaker anyway though i always have p&s interior detailer and Pearl shampoo. use what you want at your home but as a business ill opt for the larger qty less expensive choices that do the same thing if not better for cheaper.
100%. I think you bring up a great point though. Sometimes we need a product that gives us a lot of gloss. Even if it doesn’t last that long that’s ok as long as we know that ahead of time and are choosing that product for a specific reason.
Most people not concerned with durability with bead maker. Don’t see anyone using as stand alone sealant. I put it on top of Wolfgang deep gloss and collinite 845 (more than enough protection) so only need the slickness and gloss from it. Then I reapply every wash.
Auto Detailing Podcast hey Jimbo did turtle wax say anything about making a pro detailing special line like Meguiars where you can buy gallon size products? Just wondering.
I love all of your videos, but this probably has to be one of my favorites (of many from this channel); otherwise I use Beadmaker when it was suggested by "Pan the Organizer" when I asked about a comparison between Rain-X Waterless Car Wash and Beadmaker...Kinda got laughed at, but that's sometimes how you get your answers...lol...I liked Beadmaker because of how easy it was to apply, forgiving, and finally effective (very slick after that cure period and glossy that's very similar or exactly the same as a car room show quality)...When my old man brought home a Mercedes, I was asked to detail; which naturally, was very stressful for me but Beadmaker was a lifesaver because I always got the best results with that product...Either I got complimented on the car, or asked if my truck was for sale...lol... Naturally, since my Gallon of Beadmaker is running out, I'm looking at either experimenting with Turtle Wax (seal n' shine) or Technician's Choice...Favoring Technician's Choice because I can get it in a 5 Gallon jug and save money, and trips out to the store hoping to find it on the shelves at the value that I want it at (I wouldn't blame TW for bumping up their price to $10 instead of $5 & $6 before the demand)...With TC, I can also upgrade to ceramics when I'm ready for the ultimate chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties...
I've seen that Bead Maker is a good topper for ceramic coatings. I'm debating on whether to get ceramic coating or not (mainly for the paint decontamination/correction). Would TW S&S work with or against a ceramic coating? Could you use TW S&S and Bead Maker together?
@@nerfytart No disrespect to this channel, but referencing; but check out a video by Car Craft Auto Detailing titled "P&S Bead Maker Review: Extreme Testing, Review & Conclusions!"...I kinda understood that if you used Bead Maker, then you had to use it as a standalone or with strictly other waxes or polishes; otherwise if you used it with Ceramics, then you weren't going to get the best results...Bead Maker, used with other waxes was great as a last step to seal in those properties and I have done it with Rain-X when I wanted to preserve those hydrophobic properties...Whenever those hydrophobic properties got weak on the windshield after a month or so (windshield always gets the most attention, because you have to see out of it and it's also confronting bugs and wiper fluid); then you would simply reapply and get those properties back again to drive safer when it's raining very badly. To answer your question: Yes, absolutely you could use TW S&S and Bead Maker together, or vice-versa...lol...For now, I'm happy combining Bead Maker with Rain-X and NuFinish...
@@outcast668 Thanks for showing me the video! I was specifically looking for something like this to determine if Bead Maker would be good over ceramic coating. I've seen 2 other respectable UA-cam detailers who said BM would be good as a topper for ceramic coatings, but this video proves otherwise.
I used Beadmaker last year on a black mustang and absolutely looove it. However I am more than willing to try the TC 582 if I can find it in Canada. (Near Toronto)
Hey Jimbo I’ve been loving your videos for a while now, how about Frankenstein mixtures with the tail ends of Beadmaker+ceramic or etc+etc+etc. I find it kinda fun and interesting to product bash and experiment w/ mixtures. Lol! Keep up the awesome content! 🤙🏼💯
Great idea! I mix p&s show gloss into my rinseless. Fantastic shine and tons of slickness !! ! Not long durability but i should switch it out for this ceramic detail spray beadmaker streaks a lot of me here in CA sunshine is always a thing from march to december !!! I find its very sensible to temperature or it will streak a lot can be annoying also the cure time
I do enjoy the product comparisons here and I get that comparing one product to another is the goal of them as the videos are created today. I would be really curious to see something that looked a bit more like what someone watching this channel would do to a panel. It would be great to see a comparison of "systems." In this type of test, the sections of a panel would have a product stack from a particular company exposed to different tests. That would also really spread the gap on cost for the cheap vs expensive since there would be a set of products involved and the cost would really stand out.
Hey jimbo good review I use both these. I like both of tr them but if I want more protection I'm using xpc3 I use it on glass and love the results and how te hat water just beads off the glass as I'm driving down the road
I would suggest that if you go the beadmaker route to only buy the small bottle. I have it and I like it. Before I used it, I also bought a gallon that I regret since everyone is proving other products better. For the price, beadmaker is what it is. My only problem is that it will take me a really long time to finish a gallon and I haven't even opened it lol.
Gallon only for doing high volume detailing. If you not into that and only doing your car once a month. Don't buy the gallon. People need stop spending so much money on these things lol literally everyone on UA-cam are marketing products and some being paid for it
How did you remove the Seal n Shine? I know you used an abrasive technique but it is funny how you used the same side as the Seal n Shine and got the same result. If it wasn't for the fact that you went over the control line, I would have thought Seal n Shine was still on there.
another great comparison and product review jimbo. I'm like u don't really like dry times.with the the products out there 2 choose from cure times kills a lot of products.b well good friend
is it safe to apply CDS after a ceramic coating initially application , for example , an hour after application , using CDS instead of CarPro Reload? Thanks for your help
I think the lesson to be learned here is you don't apply Bead Maker properly (you're supposed to spray it on the applicator cloth and the panel) and don't let it cure, it doesn't perform well. Got it.
I used the same two products the crappy eagle one iron remover I am trying to get rid of and dawn soap. I first used dawn then I used the iron remover to strip a car of the Beadmaker after about 34 days of being on the car in Florida. It’s been extremely hot here lately as well. Car sits outside all day. Customer wanted a coating. After using dawn and then the iron remover the car was still beading water. Beadmaker claims are 30-60 days of protection. Beadmaker easily stood the test of both the same things you hit it with. The car needed a one step polish anyways so I was not worried about totally removing the product. I personally never equal beading to protection and never = no beading to no protection. I think test can very and I don’t personally think torture test tell the true story. I get why you test products but many products you have tested have lasted far beyond what was advertise and this is after being in the Florida sun and rain 24/7. A lot of the “cheaper products” l have seen get really bad water spotting after just a month. One product being seal and shine. So results can very but I like to test true durable by time and elements.
Could you torture test Eagle One wipe and shine detail spray? Apex detailing just recently pitted Turtle Wax SNS vs that, and Eagle One went blow for blow with Turtle Wax... I would love to see you do it.
Hey Jimbo, in real world testing, how long are you seeing technicians choice lasting? Just started using it and waiting on my gallon to get here lol. An absolute pleasure to work with, no streaks, slick as hell and just looks fantastic
@@kristofferpence So this type of product not idealy use right after a wash like bead maker? (I wash weekly) I don't watch to keep applying TC if not needed. Lmk
wow huge disappointment for bead maker i just got a gallon of it and was thinking it was a good product definitely getting a gallon of ceramic detail spray as goos as seal and shine durability better beading and slickness its a thumbs up product
Just heard of this TEC582 today and decided to check out some vids. It looks like it works great! I've been using Bead Maker and getting way better results than you did here though. I get nice tight beads for weeks with it and water just runs off for a couple weeks to a month. As this vid is a couple years old now, has Bead Maker been upgraded since this video was made maybe? I'm always looking for new and better but I'm just stunned BM didn't hold up better here. I find it requires several back to back washes with a stripping soap followed by something like Rewind to get it off.
@@anthony3953 I bought a gallon of TEC582 but didn't get to try it before the weather got bad so I'm kinda bummed. I'm still looking forward to trying when the weather breaks this coming spring.
@@lavelle3366 Not as thoroughly as I had hoped. I wanted to do a couple side by side trials with Turtle Wax ceramic spray (very durable for me, holds up well) and Griots ceramic (often praised as one of if not the best ceramic sprays) but just didn't have the free time and weather cooperate at the same time much this year. That said TEC582 has become my main ceramic spray. It's very easy to apply in my experience and doesn't show streaking on my dark red paint which is a major plus in my opinion. The only side by side I got to do was with Turtle Wax ceramic which seems to hold up a bit better than the TEC but is a MAJOR pain to apply to my dark red and not get streaking. Like a HUGE pain. The TEC may start to fail a bit sooner, maybe... it was really hard to tell but it's so much easier to apply that it's defiantly worth it! I didn't get to do a side by side with Griots ceramic spray. TEC defiantly holds up better than Bead Maker for me too. For me, the TEC is the winner over Bead Maker.
As the on going product testing continues , here’s another one to refine our quest to get the cheaper but best working . Tech choice VS Turtle wax seal & shine ? From your East Coast affiliate,
I like beadmaker but it has been streaky for me in the CA sun (march-december) detailing outside. But what about dream maker??? Anyone have experience with it? I am using it but not sure where to use it best. Im not sure it even makes for more gloss?? Having a hard time making it work for me help pls
@@autodetailingpodcast yeah i havent seen it gloss much either. Seemed good but i will keep testing on different cars and colors & how much gloss does the ceramic detail spray by TC add?

how do you avoid streaking with either product ? also have black paint
Which is your pick of all so far from which you have had your hands on? Or are you allowed to answer?
Of course. It’s my channel! I’m going 1. TW Seal and shine 2. Ceramic detail spray
Auto Detailing Podcast hey Jimbo did turtle wax say anything about making a pro detailing special line like Meguiars where you can buy gallon size products? Just wondering.
We didn’t really talk about it. But I’m assuming not. I don’t think they offer gallons in anything except their soap
What blower are you using
This was 5 yea ago....anything i should be looking into now?
Yes - these jimbosdetailing.com
Would you do a torture test video on ceramic detail spray vs Nano shock?
Ya I have one already
Sorry I meant tech choice ceramic detail spray vs Nano shock not beadmaker.
I love all of your videos, but this probably has to be one of my favorites (of many from this channel); otherwise I use Beadmaker when it was suggested by "Pan the Organizer" when I asked about a comparison between Rain-X Waterless Car Wash and Beadmaker...Kinda got laughed at, but that's sometimes how you get your answers...lol...I liked Beadmaker because of how easy it was to apply, forgiving, and finally effective (very slick after that cure period and glossy that's very similar or exactly the same as a car room show quality)...When my old man brought home a Mercedes, I was asked to detail; which naturally, was very stressful for me but Beadmaker was a lifesaver because I always got the best results with that product...Either I got complimented on the car, or asked if my truck was for sale...lol...
Naturally, since my Gallon of Beadmaker is running out, I'm looking at either experimenting with Turtle Wax (seal n' shine) or Technician's Choice...Favoring Technician's Choice because I can get it in a 5 Gallon jug and save money, and trips out to the store hoping to find it on the shelves at the value that I want it at (I wouldn't blame TW for bumping up their price to $10 instead of $5 & $6 before the demand)...With TC, I can also upgrade to ceramics when I'm ready for the ultimate chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties...
I've seen that Bead Maker is a good topper for ceramic coatings. I'm debating on whether to get ceramic coating or not (mainly for the paint decontamination/correction). Would TW S&S work with or against a ceramic coating? Could you use TW S&S and Bead Maker together?
@@nerfytart No disrespect to this channel, but referencing; but check out a video by Car Craft Auto Detailing titled "P&S Bead Maker Review: Extreme Testing, Review & Conclusions!"...I kinda understood that if you used Bead Maker, then you had to use it as a standalone or with strictly other waxes or polishes; otherwise if you used it with Ceramics, then you weren't going to get the best results...Bead Maker, used with other waxes was great as a last step to seal in those properties and I have done it with Rain-X when I wanted to preserve those hydrophobic properties...Whenever those hydrophobic properties got weak on the windshield after a month or so (windshield always gets the most attention, because you have to see out of it and it's also confronting bugs and wiper fluid); then you would simply reapply and get those properties back again to drive safer when it's raining very badly.
To answer your question: Yes, absolutely you could use TW S&S and Bead Maker together, or vice-versa...lol...For now, I'm happy combining Bead Maker with Rain-X and NuFinish...
@@outcast668 Thanks for showing me the video! I was specifically looking for something like this to determine if Bead Maker would be good over ceramic coating. I've seen 2 other respectable UA-cam detailers who said BM would be good as a topper for ceramic coatings, but this video proves otherwise.
Can I wax over the TC?
Can you do the best detail spray for the money.
I started using bead maker I was using megs synthtic xpress way bead maker feels grabby to me do you find that as well with bead maker
I think the Technician’s Choice will last longer than the Beadmaker. I would think the SiO2 content will increase the longevity
Bead maker for gloss and glass paint protection not so good, F 11 is a waste of money haven’t tried eagle one yet
I used Beadmaker last year on a black mustang and absolutely looove it. However I am more than willing to try the TC 582 if I can find it in Canada. (Near Toronto)
Hey Jimbo I’ve been loving your videos for a while now, how about Frankenstein mixtures with the tail ends of Beadmaker+ceramic or etc+etc+etc. I find it kinda fun and interesting to product bash and experiment w/ mixtures. Lol! Keep up the awesome content! 🤙🏼💯
Great idea! I mix p&s show gloss into my rinseless. Fantastic shine and tons of slickness !! ! Not long durability but i should switch it out for this ceramic detail spray beadmaker streaks a lot of me here in CA sunshine is always a thing from march to december !!! I find its very sensible to temperature or it will streak a lot can be annoying also the cure time
Awesome product tc
It sure is
So, which product would you prefer? Ceramic Detail Spray or Ice Seal and Shine? Better yet, what do you use on your personal vehicle?
Another great video. Can we see a comparison of gloss and durability for Technicians Choice and Adam's Detail Spray? Thanks in advance!
tech choice seems 2 b truly legit..great price point as well...
Can you do a video seeing how well/if Meguiar’s Wash Plus can remove a sealant?
Is this fair test if Bead Maker is supposed to cure? Unless I missed the cure time in the video
I do enjoy the product comparisons here and I get that comparing one product to another is the goal of them as the videos are created today. I would be really curious to see something that looked a bit more like what someone watching this channel would do to a panel. It would be great to see a comparison of "systems." In this type of test, the sections of a panel would have a product stack from a particular company exposed to different tests. That would also really spread the gap on cost for the cheap vs expensive since there would be a set of products involved and the cost would really stand out.
Thank you for the video and breakdown!
Hey jimbo good review I use both these. I like both of tr them but if I want more protection I'm using xpc3 I use it on glass and love the results and how te hat water just beads off the glass as I'm driving down the road
TC is 43 bucks no prime shipping.
beadmaker is 32 bucks at 3d. maybe ill try tc when i got extra money and can afford to wait two weeks for somethin.
BM for the price if I could TC for that price ill go with TC. Locally in hawaii TC going for $80-$90 a gallon.
Do you know if technicians choice can act as a drying agent?
Yes it can
@@autodetailingpodcast looks like I found my new drying agent then. Thanks for the great video.
Auto Detailing Podcast can it be applied in direct sunlight?
I would suggest that if you go the beadmaker route to only buy the small bottle. I have it and I like it. Before I used it, I also bought a gallon that I regret since everyone is proving other products better. For the price, beadmaker is what it is. My only problem is that it will take me a really long time to finish a gallon and I haven't even opened it lol.
Gallon only for doing high volume detailing. If you not into that and only doing your car once a month. Don't buy the gallon. People need stop spending so much money on these things lol literally everyone on UA-cam are marketing products and some being paid for it
you sure are correct smh
How did you remove the Seal n Shine? I know you used an abrasive technique but it is funny how you used the same side as the Seal n Shine and got the same result. If it wasn't for the fact that you went over the control line, I would have thought Seal n Shine was still on there.
LOL true. I use a compound after every test
It show dont bead that great i thought i was the only one notice bead maker dont bead that great tfs buddy
another great comparison and product review jimbo. I'm like u don't really like dry times.with the the products out there 2 choose from cure times kills a lot of products.b well good friend
Tc makes a good detail spray. I still like cutting it with onr.
582 definitely!
is it safe to apply CDS after a ceramic coating initially application , for example , an hour after application , using CDS instead of CarPro Reload? Thanks for your help
Idk about cds. But ceramic is good it's all I use tbh. Just use ceramic
Loving the garage Jimbo,
Thanks!
I think the lesson to be learned here is you don't apply Bead Maker properly (you're supposed to spray it on the applicator cloth and the panel) and don't let it cure, it doesn't perform well. Got it.
urntwrthyZ he filmed this a day after he let it cure....
What?
Auto Detailing Podcast he believed that you didn’t allow for a cure time, which you definitely did.
ferrari4968 gotcha.
I used the same two products the crappy eagle one iron remover I am trying to get rid of and dawn soap. I first used dawn then I used the iron remover to strip a car of the Beadmaker after about 34 days of being on the car in Florida. It’s been extremely hot here lately as well. Car sits outside all day. Customer wanted a coating. After using dawn and then the iron remover the car was still beading water. Beadmaker claims are 30-60 days of protection. Beadmaker easily stood the test of both the same things you hit it with. The car needed a one step polish anyways so I was not worried about totally removing the product. I personally never equal beading to protection and never = no beading to no protection. I think test can very and I don’t personally think torture test tell the true story. I get why you test products but many products you have tested have lasted far beyond what was advertise and this is after being in the Florida sun and rain 24/7. A lot of the “cheaper products” l have seen get really bad water spotting after just a month. One product being seal and shine. So results can very but I like to test true durable by time and elements.
I’m glad your seeing good results with it!
Black and plasti coat, isnt it? Why do you say dip? Or is it dip?
Ya your right
Could you torture test Eagle One wipe and shine detail spray?
Apex detailing just recently pitted Turtle Wax SNS vs that, and Eagle One went blow for blow with Turtle Wax... I would love to see you do it.
I want to get some technicians choice but I can’t find it anywhere in the gallon size!
Amazon has it now with free shipping
Tc vs tw ceramic wet wax for best drying aid on ceramic coated cars.
Have you done this product vs the last coat?
So would you pick the technicians choice over meguiars hybrid ceramic wax?
curtis James 100% I would
Thank you for the reply I’m going to order a gallon I got caught up in the beadmaker storm and I wasn’t impressed
Hey Jimbo, in real world testing, how long are you seeing technicians choice lasting? Just started using it and waiting on my gallon to get here lol. An absolute pleasure to work with, no streaks, slick as hell and just looks fantastic
I've seen someone claim 4 months and going strong with the Arizona heat. My personal experience 2 months and going strong.
How often you do you apply TC? After every wash?
@@junballs6576 I applied it on a customers vehicle last September. Did a maintenance wash in January and it was still there lol
@@kristofferpence So this type of product not idealy use right after a wash like bead maker? (I wash weekly) I don't watch to keep applying TC if not needed. Lmk
@@junballs6576 no you can. I actually never use this product straight. At least 1:1, can be streaky if you use too much. Lot of silicone lol
What about zappys auto place?
Good stuff jimbo!
wow huge disappointment for bead maker i just got a gallon of it and was thinking it was a good product
definitely getting a gallon of ceramic detail spray as goos as seal and shine durability better beading and slickness its a thumbs up product
Love your videos! Can you do a comparison of Technicians Choice and Xtreme Solutions Jersey Devil. Thanks in advance.
Just heard of this TEC582 today and decided to check out some vids. It looks like it works great! I've been using Bead Maker and getting way better results than you did here though. I get nice tight beads for weeks with it and water just runs off for a couple weeks to a month. As this vid is a couple years old now, has Bead Maker been upgraded since this video was made maybe? I'm always looking for new and better but I'm just stunned BM didn't hold up better here. I find it requires several back to back washes with a stripping soap followed by something like Rewind to get it off.
Have you tried tec582? In the market for a ceramic detailed
@@anthony3953 I bought a gallon of TEC582 but didn't get to try it before the weather got bad so I'm kinda bummed. I'm still looking forward to trying when the weather breaks this coming spring.
@@Ryan_H22 chance to review yet?
@@lavelle3366 Not as thoroughly as I had hoped. I wanted to do a couple side by side trials with Turtle Wax ceramic spray (very durable for me, holds up well) and Griots ceramic (often praised as one of if not the best ceramic sprays) but just didn't have the free time and weather cooperate at the same time much this year. That said TEC582 has become my main ceramic spray. It's very easy to apply in my experience and doesn't show streaking on my dark red paint which is a major plus in my opinion. The only side by side I got to do was with Turtle Wax ceramic which seems to hold up a bit better than the TEC but is a MAJOR pain to apply to my dark red and not get streaking. Like a HUGE pain. The TEC may start to fail a bit sooner, maybe... it was really hard to tell but it's so much easier to apply that it's defiantly worth it! I didn't get to do a side by side with Griots ceramic spray. TEC defiantly holds up better than Bead Maker for me too. For me, the TEC is the winner over Bead Maker.
@@lavelle3366 I read a review on Reddit where a guy likes the Tec more than the bead.
As the on going product testing continues , here’s another one to refine our quest to get the cheaper but best working . Tech choice VS Turtle wax seal & shine ? From your East Coast affiliate,
Technicians choice it’s great but I hate that it’s Attracts so much dust
Funny thing. BM collect dust more than TC for me. Both are awesome products.
Looks like concours nova jet beats beadmaker and seal n shine. Would like to see you test jet vs SnS to see if you get the same results.
Never heard of it. I’ll check it out
ua-cam.com/video/1KS9KtfsQkA/v-deo.html
Not really a fair comparison as beadmaker is polymer based and Tech. Choice is sio2 based
Thank you sooo much!!!!!
I like beadmaker but it has been streaky for me in the CA sun (march-december) detailing outside.
But what about dream maker??? Anyone have experience with it? I am using it but not sure where to use it best. Im not sure it even makes for more gloss?? Having a hard time making it work for me help pls
I haven’t tried it. But it doesn’t seem worth it to me with such short durability.
@@autodetailingpodcast yeah i havent seen it gloss much either. Seemed good but i will keep testing on different cars and colors & how much gloss does the ceramic detail spray by TC add?
