FAQ - Frequently asked questions

• Can I use Bead Machine or other sealants over the top of Beaut Beads? - Yes, and no. Our super hydrophobic range of sealants; Bead Machine, Happy Ending & Wet Dreams can be used as toppers and put on top of Beaut Beads and will work no problems. Avoid using Carnauba Body Wax, Lazy Wax or Fully Slick, as these products may inhibit the super hydrophobic nature of the Beaut Beads wax.
• How often should I re-apply Beaut Beads? - Re-apply the Beaut Beads paste wax as needed. We have found that on cars that are not daily drivers, and garaged, it can last up to 1 year. On a daily driven car, you will find you should need to re-apply every few months just as needed. Bead Machine and our other super hydrophobic sealants will increase the longevity of the wax.
• Can I layer Beaut Beads? - We don't recommend that you do. Because of the solvents in the wax, layering it over itself can cause the second layer to affect the first layer, so we recommend not to. As mentioned above, Bead Machine is a great one to layer on top of Beaut Beads.
• Do I need to go through the whole process every time I apply Beaut Beads? - No. We find that usually once year is sufficient to go through the entire preparation process. For the in between applications, just be sure to wash and dry the car, clay if it's contaminated, and always use Flash Prep prior to application.
• Can I use Beaut Beads on plastic/glass/rubber? - We don't recommend it. Beaut Beads can leave marks on plastic trim and rubber, and isn't suitable to use on glass. Use After Glow for all glass for good beading action. If you do get Beaut Beads on rubber or plastics, remove it straight away with a cloth and some Orange Agent or Flash Prep.
• Can I use Beaut Beads on a paint protection coating or ceramic coating? - We don't recommend this. While it may not affect all coatings, it might affect yours. Stick to our other super hydrophobic sealants; Bead Machine, Happy Ending, Wet Dreams to put on your ceramic coating.
