Quick question after coating
Hello all.
I just polished my red C7Z with sonax perfect finish and rupes yellow pads and after I coated wtih Avalong King.
Car has been 5 days in the garage, and my question is if I can use the bead make now or should I wait more time? I am expecting more gloss and shine look.

You'll perhaps get a bit more gloss and slickness with Beadmaker but it will diminish (but not harm) the coatings inherent beneficial properties with regards to water behavior and self-cleaning effects but perhaps that's not an issue...personal goals and all things considered.

I'd wait until after your first wash. As Beadmaker is a polymer sealant as opposed to a 'technically' synergistic product (i.e. SiO2 infused) may as well wait a bit. 99.999% chance it wouldn't do the least bit of harm and if using a SiO2 product you can top as little as a day (sometimes even a few hours) later but why take a chance?

if you want the Beadmaker experience but wish it was an SiO2 based product (so you don't run into the issue Budget mentioned above in bold) I'd get topper. When I deplete my supply of Bead Maker which I use on the non coated car and the rims of my coated Z06, I am replacing with Topper from Xtreme Solutions and I'm not looking back.
Oh, I'd wait a week before I even washed a new coated car or expose it to rain.
