Topper v. Drying Aid

[VIPR01]

Out of curiosity & boredom, has anyone attempted a comparison between P&S Beadmaker & Xtreme Solutions Topper?

I’m not researching blending or the process, just real user inputs. The past couple of years I’ve used Beadmaker exclusively as my drying aid on top of CSL & EXO. It’s worked as desired, thinking about shaking up my process or possibly trying something different.

Also interested in Kamikaze Overcoat when my GT4 arrives - again something different.

I have both the Topper and Bead Maker. I think they are very close. I would say the topper is a bit easier to work with and last a tad bit longer. Gloss and beading seem to be the same. I have used them both on top of the TW 75th ceramic/graphene wax and TW Max Wax. Both have amazing gloss and very slick. I have also used DPC Kingsguard and I believe it is also very close maybe a tad bit more gloss but I don’t own a gloss meter.

Thanks, I did get a chance to try out Topper on another vehicle. Agree, similar results - can’t go wrong with either product.

One that I would like to try next is Shinne Wax by Tacsystems.

I got some P&S Beadmaker, but just got my black ceramic coated and the detailer is pushing me towards The Last Coat....Anyone used that?

Use the Beadmaker, it's awesome.

Tried last coat once and didn't care for it . Beadmaker is much better IMO.

I did another R&D wash on our Grand Cherokee. My wife just figured out I use her vehicle to test products I’m not sure the result will be… This vehicle is coated with CSL & EXO with Beadmaker used during drying after every wash. I tried topper last night, and it wouldn’t cooperate. It would run-off/bead even with wiping using the OG microfiber Orange towel. My guess is there’s a layer of Beadmaker built up on the coating-but I’m too lazy to decon/polish off the coating to try “Topper” when P&S has been fantastic. I have been mixing in a few new Gyeon products from Esoteric lately, the tire/wheel cleaner & interior cleaner with good results.

Same here but I believe it was the old version I had.. to me if was a waste in time and money. Beadmaker and Topper have worked well for me along with DPC Kingsguard.
