Formula 113 and Bead X

Is anyone using these products anymore? I haven't seen or heard much about them since the owner was banned. I'm in need of some detail spray and see that they have 140oz of BeadX for $40. That's about the same price as buying the same amount of Meguiars Detail Spray. Just looking for any feedback on the products today. I used some Zaino Z6 this weekend on the IROC-Z at a show and really like the slick feel. I remember the BeadX used to feel similar and so does the Wizards Mist-N-Shine. The Wizards is $15 for 22oz and Zaino is $10 for 16oz. The BeadX seems to be the best buy if the product is still any good. Opinions??

All I know is that he was banned on many other forums including this one.

One of my hobbies is detailing. I am a member over at Autopia Car Detailing Forum - Car Detailing (Wash, Wax, Polish) Enthusiast Forum. and heard about Clearkot Quik Shine detail spray. I decided to give it a try, and it's by far the BEST detailing spray I ever used. Nice slick surface, and gives you that "just waxed" look.

I've tried a lot of detailing sprays, but this ones my favorite by far.



Clearkote Products at Specialty Motoring Products


The car hasn't been waxed in months, and this was the result with a quick spray down and whipe off:

I went ahead and ordered a case of F113 about two years ago. I sold most of what I had and I'm still using the last bottle that I have left. I think it's great stuff although Gold Class might do a similar job. I still prefer F113 just to be a little different.

As far as detailing spray, I never really used the Bead X. I usually just use the Eagle One detailing spray, but I sure would love to give the Clearkot Quik Shine a try. I've heard really good things about it.

I remember that stuff, I got a sample when they were giving those out awhile back. For what it woulda cost, it was good stuff. I just couldnt justify paying for it considering how horrible my paint job is. Never tried the Bead X tho. Its turtle waax paint match for me, hide those scratches!
