0 pirahnah3 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 8k mile old H20GG (about 2 months) and she still beads!! One of my fav past times is taking the truck out after a quick shower and watching the water just blow off the hood hehe.

0 stripesace Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Huh? Care to explain? Sheeting vs beading really seems to depend more on how the water is applied - my paint beads beautifully as I'm sure all of ours does in the rain, but when flood rinsed after a wash the water will sheet away nicely. I can't imagine why you would want a hydrophilic surface such that it causes rain to lay flat and sheet on your car. I dunno how I missed this but I'll jump in because a similar conversation is taking place on another detailing forum. Beading creates an environment for water spots. Water beads. If it isn't removed from the car, it makes a water spot. I could go out in my garage and show you this from an inadverant experiment. the pollen here has been RIDICULOUS this week. I pool rinsed the car last night and had all intentions of doing a waterless but the night got away from me and it just didn't happen. So this morning, I go outside and it looks like it rained on my car in my garage. A full bath is now in order. Another producer of car detailing products has specifically formulated one of their waxes to NOT bead to mitigate water spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RoamPT Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) 3-4 weeks after i applied the paint sealant: The water just runs down the car, after going on the highway and plus it was still raining, i would just see the water fly off the car, without leaving any run spots or anything, absolutely amazing!

Ok, this is one of my favorite beading pics I've taken, it is from this past winter on the glass top of the wife's Veloster.
