    I had to change tips on my pressure washer because the first tip didnt have enough oomph to it.

    Yeah, that's what she said!

    What do I have to do to remove the bead maker? Or just wash and dry like normal?

    I dont know, sorry. I know when I want to remove wax, I use Dawn dish detergent. The detail gurus can answer that one.

    Just wash like normal. The Beadmaker isn’t going to inhibit this any, especially since you’ve had it on there a while.
    You spray this on while it’s still wet, then dry it.

    Just put her to bed for the night. Washed with reset then dried, finally looks good again. Itll get another coat of reload or hydro2 in the next month or so to prep for winter. I'm gonna miss my truck looking like this, Nov-March sucks around here.

    This is a pretty good, and in my opinion accurate demonstration video for Meguair’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax, Beadmaker, and Adams Ceramic Spray.

    Meguair’s: $15.00 per bottle
    Beadmaker: $14.00 per bottle
    Adams Ceramic Spray: $70.00 per bottle.

    Coming along nicely! If I ever finally get around to cquartz and a top coat, I assume it will also take me weeks to complete. But some things are worth the wait and you certainly don't wanna rush a ceramic coating job. Nice work, very inspirational for me.

    Having a new born and currently under contract on a house in new jersey takes alot of time. Going back and fourth. And having new york city transit work the weekends on replacing train tracks and using a crane to block my garage is even worst. But she is coming along nice does have deep scratches. That i didnt bother wet sanding. With it being 07 with 161k miles. Let me not thin out the clear. Lets see when ill do the tailgate roof hood and front bumper. :annoyed:

    If you had ~$50 to blow, which one would you buy? Tough choice for me but I think my order would be elixir(most versatile), meg's ceramic(longest lasting, easiest to use), beadmaker (that's a lot of product though so tough choice). Waiting to get roasted over this lol.

    Of course haha. Especially having spent two weekends on it taking over over spray since my dad decided to spray paint inside the garage and didnt bother to take out the car. And correcting some swirls. Ceramic took me about an hour to apply.
