bigaudiofanatic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sense it has rained here for the past 2 days, I noticed during that time that there was no beading going on. I did a full detail over 2 weeks ago and took it through a touch less car wash once, "had a date dont bust my balls" Car if filthy today, so I am thinking that no beading comes from the surface being dirty?

Chewy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Dirt will all but remove the surface tension needed to allow the water to bead. The soap in the wash isn't a good thing either, but it wouldn't completely remove the protection. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will come back after a good wash tonight/tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will come back after a good wash tonight/tomorrow Yeah, I use them, but I get out and do it and only use the rinse setting. With a good coat of sealant or wax on the paint, most the dirt comes right off. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 beading should come back after a 2 bucket wash! if it doesn't the touchless wash soap stripped the wax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYMisano Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 height of pollen season in the northeast now, pollen will almost eliminate beading until its removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Correct. Once you soap it up, then rinse thats the time to inspect beading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
