Have you used this product? tell me your experience down below!!!!!!
So does the directions say use on wet panels or dry? Or does it matter?
Curious. I have a bottle and I do not remember buying it. Can this be used as a detail spray on a clean dry car? Spray on and wipe in then buff? Or is it only usable as a drying aid?
@@waynestewart5646 both
Love the review! Our ceramic products (especially our detail spray) are among our most popular items! Between the water beading, slick shine, durability, and flexibility of our detail spray you can certainly have your car looking slick!
Yes indeed I have been told the rest of your line up is great as well. I’ll have to look into it.
Is it safe to use on headlights and all glass with a 1:1 ratio? Any recommendation for the ratio for interior use?
Does this work on matte finish?
@@qui5007 it certainly can!
@@Ashhong1 This would be an exterior product, but it certainly can be used on windows and headlights!
I came to you tube to find how to solve this exact problem on my Black ram truck. Other colors were fine. Thank you, your solution worked amazing!!!! It almost made me think I should find a class and learn to detail insides better and open a detail business in my area.
Glad to help sir
Well articulated no BS straight to the point video. I wish all UA-cam videos were like this.
Thank you sir.
I’ve been using this since 2017 and even today theres nothing on the market that replaces it. Its that good!
For just bought a gallon for 49 .50 glad to see this
Recommend a fresh wax before applying? Plan on using clay first, but also see that it can be used as the lubricating agent.
@@stevengarrett8708 I would recommend applying Tac Moonlight then maintaining it with this every wash. This shine you will be left with is unbelievable.
DI water is the way. Got two big ass commercial tanks in my garage. Took my TDS from 900 to 2. I wash DI 100% of the time. I'll have to give this a go. I have been using Wolfgang sio2 waterless diluted as a drying aid but this stuff passed some gnarly torture test from a couple other channels. Nice to see a guy that knows how to detail the right way some vids I have watched are just painful. Keep riding clean sir. Nice rig.
Thank you sir I appreciate it.
Love that stuff. I've always used it full strength as a drying aid. Plus I can get it right from them so it's a lot less than $40 a gallon.
Do you have al link for the gallon size?
I use this ON TOP of touchless from mirror finish! My customers rave how their car completely sheds the water when driving through rain. LOVE this stuff!!!!
I've recently purchased a gallon of the stuff and I really like it. I apply it to a dry vehicle, spraying the product onto a microfiber towel and wiping it onto the paint, followed by wiping with a dry towel. The panels of the car were cool, so I had no problems with streaking. I'm also a Bead Maker fan and still use it on occasion. Great video. I have subscribed.
I use it and love it! My preferred method is to apply once per month to a cool, clean, dry panel. I don’t have a need for a drying aid since the bulk of my drying is done with a blower followed by a plush towel for touch up drying. My car stays glossy and slick, maintenance washes once a week.
There you go bro. Good wash process.
In the hot sun paste products I’ve noticed are much easier to deal with, if the car is dry already like you mentioned.
Been using for almost 5 years every 3 washings and has protected my car very well. Super easy to apply.
yeah i like this guy, i found my new favorite detail channel
Thank you
Never mind the detailing spray. Your truck is hella nice!
Thanks bro 😎
I don’t use it as a drying aid, I dilute it 1:1 and just spray directly on to the panel and buff off with a 70/30 420 GSM microfiber towel. My wife’s vehicle is a dark metallic blue and ceramic coated and I’ve never had an issue with streaking. I’ve never sprayed it on a hot panel either, so that may be the determining factor with your issue. Love this stuff, it’s easy to apply and lasts a pretty long time.
How often do you reapply it? If I wash my car lets say once a month, should I use it every time?
@@Ashhong1 I wash our cars twice, sometimes three times a month and apply it every wash. If you wash once a month, then I’d say apply it once a month.
Best product for sure!!!! I say it is a BM killer for sure as they both serve the same purpose. I don't like to use quality towels to apply as the chemicals will reduce absorption in them. I usually stick with one towel specific to apply TCCD.... And a quality towels for drying if needed to keep it plush longer.
Good info thank you
Agreed I used it straight as a drying aid. Excellent product when it's cut too.
💯
just started using this product, you are absolutely correct not to use it on hot surfaces as I live in Florida. Smooth, slick, and gloss for sure. I used it full strength however will use it as you recommend 1:1. thanks
Yes sir that’s why I think the best use for that product is as a drying aid because the water on the paint helps it blend into the paint better without smearing
Short and to the point 👉
But informative and helpful. Helps us make an informed decision on what product is best for us to use 😀
Thank you sir that’s what I’m here for.
My wife loves this stuff as a drying agent to stop water marks. She uses it over her graphene coating and the results are fantastic.
Thanks for the video! =)
Smart lady. It is some awesome stuff.
I used this product on aircraft and it does an amazing job at keeping the grease/oil that comes out of helicopter air filters at bay.
I absolutely love this product, I also got me a gallon months ago and also using to apply on the inside dashboard and plastics. Thanks for sharing the video!!!
Yes sir. Yea it has many uses.
There is one product I have purchased last year to try, it is the Wolfgang Über Si02 Rinseless wash, which can be used in many different ways, I haven’t seen many doing reviews on it. I like it a lot and as far as cost wow, amazing as it is a concentrate. We even use it at home too, on glass, mirrors, restrooms… amazing. Put it in spray, apply and wipe and man, surface is super slick. If you ever get your hands on it, please make a review video. Thanks!
I have great success with this product by just spraying on , then hosing off! Then I use my Master Blaster car dryer for drying with great results.
Agreed Best used as drying aid
Seems to work exactly like Formula 4 spray wax. I use it the exact same way and ordered some Tec582 to try the same way.
I use this stuff all the time. I use it as a sealant, drying aid, and for interior protection.
Yes it works well for interiors as well
What do you apply this to for the interior?
@@mariaacosta7428 u can dilute 1:1 and wipe down interior dash n door panels👌💯
Safe on leather ?
Why didn’t you clean the invisible trailer??
Nice job!
I have a gallon on the way. Very excited.
Thanks for the video
Is it better than turtle wax ceramic spray wax?
Have you tried tech choice ceramic coating ? It's super easy to apply and wipe off it's almost fool proof. I use tech choice ceric spray as you do to maintain the coating. Works very well
Great as a drying aid and from experience I've noticed that provides about 3 months of protection.
Nice I’ll check it out
This is awesome, thanks for the tips! I like Technicians Choice quite a bit more than Bead Maker but I think I’m in the minority
No problem. There is a very loyal tech choice following. It’s a great product
I use it all the time great product!
My G dropping them vids!
You know
Personally I wouldn't use this as a drying aid. It wouldn't make sense on a car without any sealant on it. Ceramic bonds to the paint. You don't want to seal contamination into the paint.
However I would use this to maintain an pre existing coating after a maintenance wash.
If you're looking for a drying aid, I would use TEC212/87 Super Beads. It is highly concentrated but safe for hand application.
Well now you know it works great as a drying aid. I’m seeing great results. Stay Slick🤙🏽
Wow, I had never heard of TEC 212/87. You are not kidding that it is really concentrated! How does it work for you as a rinse / drying aide?
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have a question, so, the way you would recommend to use TC is wash and use TC, wash the next week out TC, then wash and use TC the following week?
Love this product !!! However I found that over time it will clog your twisted loop towels making them less absorbent. I stopped using them with TEC. I had to constantly soak my drying towels with P and S R/R.
which is the glossiest beadmaker or Tech choice? or is there any other that takes the prize in gloss. Im not too concerned about durability since i detail pretty often.
I never use this as a drying aid. I don't even dilute the product; I just spray it straight. Less is better and you won't get streaks. I don't use any towel of any sort to dry my vehicles. I use the strongest electric plug-in leaf blower that I could find. This stuff is awesome as it is.
So you dry your car first, then spray with ceramic spray, and the dry it with a blower?
Great information on that as I was thinking about buying that thanks info
Another great video from @Stay Slick! What product did you use to spray onto the tires?
I believe it was either shine supply decked out or mirror finish Premium.
Question for you all using it as a drying aid. Are you doing any buffing after running over surface with drying towel? Or is just a once over with good drying towel enough? When I dry my car with a good twisted loop drying towel there is often still a (very slight) film of water on the car. I wonder if there would be any issues with hazing!
Thanks!
I use it exactly as I did in the video.
Does this product have any uv blockers to protect from the sun like sio2 properties?
Yes sir it is an si02 product
so how long does bead maker last and when and where do you use it
Well yeah dope… got my sub and bell notification locked in
Is this product supposed to be diluted as per the instructions, or you did to spread it out?
Can I use a Chamois towel to dry this product? Thx!
Love this producto !! But I’m having trouble with the spry bottle. What advice do you have which one are the best quality and price on market ?
Thanks ✊🏾
Great work bro! Can you made a video how to apply the tire shine with the air gun
How does this compare to xtreme solutions topper?
Do I need to apply a heavy coat of this first if a vehicle has no sort of protection. Then use as a drying aid??
what are you using on the tires for shine?
Do you find your drying towel fibers start to become less soft using this method? I've used this same method with other products as drying aids and my drying towels are not as soft as before. And I wash them immediately after use. Great video! Stay Slick!
Honestly I don’t think so. I do notice my towels not being as soft but I think that’s just from washing them a ton of times.
Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
Just curious, why no coating on your truck?
Because I use my truck to test products but I’m considering putting a DIY Coating on mine soon just because.
I noticed an oil type slick left on the paint after washing the cars on a weekly basis with this. Seems to wipe off hard too. Have you experienced anything like this? That's the only thing I don't like about this product.
I haven’t noticed that no. Interesting
Hi very good video, I have a question it is better than p&s bead maker?
It’s more durable and glossier than Beadmaker. I still dig Beadmaker.
How this compare to griots 3 n 1
Overall thoughts of the product outta curiosity? How's slickness feeling on the truck along with the beading properties? Sweet truck btw!!
It works great man. Beads well lots of shine.
@@StaySlick Great, good to know! Been researching bunch of products to use in my mobile business
Thanks for the video man. Just picked this up and it's great. Can I ask what step stool are you using?
Yes sir here is the link
Pro Linking Platform 3.91-ft x 3.91-ft Aluminum Adjustable Work Platform with 300-lb Capacity www.lowes.com/pd/Werner-Aluminum-Adjustable-Height-and-Linking-Pro-Platform-300lb-AP-2030L-MP2/5005470339
@@StaySlick thanks man!
Great review- thanks 🍻
Could this product be used as lubrication for a decontamination towel?
Can you do a video on your tire dressing spray gun set up? Do you need to clean the gun every time?
Sure will do
Thanks. I tried it and just got leakage from the lower mid section of the gun. So would like to see how you set it up and so forth. Thanks!
@@StaySlick waiting on that as well. I already got a gun and the right attachment just don't have a solution to use. Wanted to use it as interior dressing and tires.
what did you spray on the tires, rubber?
How does that ceramic spray hurt the drying towels? I’m sure it has to negatively affect them somehow. Thanks for the vid
No it doesn’t harm the towels. The sio2 content isn’t high enough to effect the towels. You just have to make sure you wash your towels properly with a microfiber detergent like P and S Rags to Riches.
3D Bead it up or This ?
What brand and model is the bigger drying towel? Have you tried bead it up buy 3D as a drying aid? I just tried it and it's really nice to work with. It's a polymer product also. Thanks
Did you use their car wash though? That's the question! I bet you didnt even know they make one. (I just saw they did today). Thanks for the video... I guess I am going to have to pick some up.
Can I use it when car is still wet as a drying agent and will it prevent water spots if use as drying agent ?
Yes you can.
@@StaySlick Thank you very much
Good Video, do you have any problems with build up on your drying towel?
I haven’t noticed it if I do.
What did you spray on the tires?
Can you use both bead maker and this? I've got a gallon of both. What situation would I use one over the other?
Well bead maker is Pilsner based and ceramic detail spray is well ceramic so it’s going to last longer.
Is that dilution rate enough for protection over a coating?
Yeah, either straight or one to one is fine. Obviously you’re gonna get better protection if you use it straight but then you have to deal with streaking depending on the weather because of the high ceramic content. You can also use it as a drying aid if you wanna do that more frequently, maybe once you lay down a stronger layer But protection laid down as a drying aid tends to not last as long
Can I use it as a form cannon?
I use xtreme solutions topper...which do you think is better
I like them both if you look on my videos I just did one comparing xtreme solutions topper to bead maker
Are the microfiber towels good for anything after being used with a ceramic detail spray or trash?
Yes they’re still good
I would like to buy this product and use it on my car. How long does it last ?
Probably a month and a half.
Can I use this product on a vehicle that hasn’t been clayed ? I been trying to figure out which be better for my vehicle this or bead maker .
How would you compare this product to the mirror finish touchless rinse and seal? Or could this be used in addition to mirror finish?
It can be compared in that it is a ceramic spray sealant but what I like to do is use this as a drying aid especially on a vehicle that had touchless applied before.
Curious is anyone has tried to dilute this and apply with a foam canon, like snake oil
I dilute it and use it in a spray bottle, never tried the foam gun but I use 2:1 as drying agent and I even use 10:1 as interior topper.
do you find when drying a car with ceramic spray as your aid that your drying towels get degraded due to the product gunking it up? I find that even after washing the towels in warm water with a dedicated microfiber wash like rags to riches my towel will streak next time I use it, almost like the spray wax is still in the fibers
Did you unclog them?
@@adoseofandros no I wind up tossing them and getting new ones .. luckily I’m not doing it as a business as that’d be really uneconomical .. I have seen in other videos it’s common if you use ceramics as a drying aid
would you use this weekly?
are there any downsides to using this more frequently.
No downsides that i know of. You can use it as much as you want.
What does it smell like?
great video!
Thank you brotha
Is this glossier than the 3d bead it up I'm stuck between these two I want more gloss and less dust .bead maker is awesome but the dust is bad.i haven't tried dreammaker yet so idk on that one.
After all my testing I landed on bead it up as my favorite. It’s amazing.
@@StaySlick do you have a video on the bead it up? I’m new at all this and all I hear is talk about the same product line. I’d like to learn about others before I decide I’m in the chemical decontamination phase now.

How do you think this would work as drying aid for someone using hard water? I dry vehicles in shade and if I dry well no spots, seems like this could only help get water off quicker?
Yea the purpose of a drying aid is
1. To aid in drying by creating lubrication and breaking the surface tension
2. To soften the water and add protection with ok t needing that extra step.
Can you after using this as a drying aid top it off with dream maker?
Thank you
Absolutely
What is the spray gun you are using for the tire shine
It’s the 4 oz detail spray gun from harbor freight
@@StaySlick Thanks
@@StaySlick what’s inside the gun bro what product do you use? Thank you 🙏🏼
It was either decked out from shine supply or premium by mirror finish.
@@StaySlick I appreciate that thank you, what wheel ceramic do you recommend ?
so this or mirror finish ceramic rinse?
Mirror finish touchless
Can I use this on the steering wheel?
I wouldn’t just in case it makes it slippery.
What about carpro hydro2 vs ?
I stick with Beadmaker or boost by nv care care ( a little more expensive).
I’ve never tried boost but ya Beadmaker is still amazing.
@@StaySlick boost is more of a quick detailer SIO2 infused just to use as a drying aid. Their longer term spray sealants are NV nova Lustra and Jet.
thanks for the info brother
If you spray the windows do you still use a glass cleaner on the windows? Or will that wipe it off?
Yea I usually always go back with deionized water to get the glass 💯
How long does the protection last?
A month or two.
Best sh!t I’ve used. Works great and gives a great gloss.
What did you spray on the tires
Shine Supply Decked out straight up
@@StaySlick is there anything else we can use in the spray gun, decked out is really expensive $98 a gallon.
Thanks
Yes sir
