Beaut Beads paste wax

Hand-crafted, super wanky and hydrophobic carnauba paste wax, for the more devout car fanatics.

We hand-crafted this quality paste wax to show enthusiasts that waxes are far from dead. Developed by our in-house chemist who we tormented with 57 versions over 24 months (yep, some car resto’s are quicker), Beaut Beads is our modern Aussie take on a classic favourite, remedying many age-old paste wax issues. This wax has been created for true car fanatics who love the hands-on “romance” of using a quality paste wax and we’re super proud of the end result.

We’ve pulled out all the stops with this wax, lovingly blending and filling each jar by hand. This wax isn't something that could ever be produced in large volumes, but we love the more hands-on, low volume, boutique-quality blending process - it makes this wax a little bit more special than the mass-produced waxes you’ll see it sharing the shelves with in an auto parts store. Using only the finest wanky ingredients, the combination of 55% (by wax volume) T1 Carnauba, as well as Montan, local Beeswax and other cosmetic grade waxes, gives an amazing shine, depth and reflections, whilst being absolutely joyous to use. We’ve gone to great efforts to ensure using Beaut Beads requires as little effort as possible, and we’re proud to say there’s no hard yakka required to apply or remove.

Lovingly blended and filled by hand, using only the finest wanky ingredients available.
Amazing shine, depth & reflections, thanks to a blend of 55% (by wax volume) T1 Carnauba, as well as Montan, Beeswax and other natural essential oils.
Gives metallics and vibrant colours a lustrous glow, that’ll leave you knocked for six.
Joyous to use, with no hard yakka required to apply or remove.
Spectacular super hydrophobic protection for months of epic bead porn & sheeting.
Won’t re-haze or "ghost" after buffing off - ideal for humid Australian conditions.
For all types of shiny paints, including older single-stage and modern clear coats.
A large 250mL sized jar, should do nearly 15+ cars and last for a few years with most enthusiasts.
Contains no harsh abrasives or toxic chemicals like fluorine (PFOA or PFAS) - only the finest raw ingredients that are importantly safe for you and the environment.
Can be maintained with our super hydrophobic spray sealants, like Bead Machine.
A luscious fragrance that brings back memories of fun trips to the drive-in movies.
Includes two premium quality foam applicators – the bigger one for larger panels and the smaller for more intricate areas.
The larger foam pad fits the opening of the jar perfectly, to get the ideal thin application of wax with a couple of turns.
Proudly handcrafted in Australia – even the quality display box and large mouth jar are all custom Aussie made.

How to use the Beaut Beads paste wax

Beaut beads wax is simply the best wax I’ve ever used. So easy to apply and buff off. The glow it leaves is amazing. Plus the last step on the instruction guide tops it off, sipping on your favourite cold beverage circling the car whilst admiring the shine!

I purchased this product spontaneously as a change to my usual routine of using synthetic ceramic wax. The gloss on this product is truly epic and subtly different to synthetiic products. Beaut Beads gives a warm deeper gloss to my dark metallic paintwork than I’ve seen before. Very happy with the results.

Beautiful Beads Wax

For the first time I applied Beaut Beads to my car yesterday. It rained this morning while driving, stopped raining 5 minutes before reaching my destination. As I stopped I look at the bonnet through the windscreen and thought that the water was spread out in a film. WRONG, the bonnet was completely dry, all water had drained off. Magic stuff is Beaut Beads.

Under the Southern Cross where the Bathurst roars, Where Holdens and Fords wage age-old wars, Came a wax so flash, with a name so bold— Beaut Beads, by Bowden’s, a sight to behold. Hand-crafted they say, with wankiest flair, It’s richer than Lowndes’ post-race hair. With carnauba so pure, Montan and bee's kiss, This wax is the stuff of a revhead’s bliss. Tander’s HSV? Shines like it’s dipped in gold. McLaughlin’s Mustang? Mirror-balled and cold. The Red Bull Commodore, slick in the sun, Claims, “With Beaut Beads on, we’ve already won.” A Torana so glossy it blinded the pits, An XR8 Falcon with hydrophobic wits. Not a drop dare linger, not even a smidge— Water flees faster than Skaife off The Dipper’s ridge. With a swirl-free finish and beads that sheet, It laughs at rain, it can’t be beat. No ghosting, no sweat in the humid haze, Just glistening glow that’ll earn envious praise. Even old mate Barry, with his rusty VL, Now struts ‘round town like he’s bathed it in Chanel. “Mate,” he grins, “it’s got that drive-in scent, Like bucket seats and nights well spent.” And don’t get me started on the applicators two— Big pad for the bonnet, the small one for the clue That yes, you’ve reached Peak Car Nerd Nirvana, Smearing sweet wax like it’s race day in Bathurst's sauna. So here’s to the wax that’s proudly bespoke, For legends with polish and no time for bloke-folk. Your Porsche, your Macca, your WRX ride— With Beaut Beads, they glisten with national pride. No hard yakka needed, just a jar and a dream, To make your paintwork pop like a jetstream. Bowden’s Own? They’ve cracked the code— The most wanky, wonderful wax ever to hit the road.

Most Impressive

By: Craig on 16 May 2025
I have tried many different waxes on cars that claim to bead when the paint when wet, ither they don't last or just don't do what they claim. Beaut Beads is fantastic; it is easy to apply and leaves your car with a deep shine with no streaks. A little goes a long way, as suggested in the video you don't need to layer it on. Well done and thank you

I followed the Guide and Option 3 for My Kia Stinger and I’m so happy. So easy to apply and buff. I’m sold on Beaut Beads.

Beaut Beads Paste Wax

Absolutely Amazing wax. Easy to apply and even easier to buff off. The mirror shine and depth of colour you get looks better then when the car just left the showroom. If you want that perfect finish that looks a million dollars than this is for you.
