Is this Good Beading? - Vincent
Would this be considered good beading?

the Bonnet is done with P21s 100% Carnauba
The 2 side fenders are done with Werkstat Jett Acryllic

The persistent Rain in Cape Town has really slowed things down drastically on my side

I would also like to know. I got similar results using 845, just havn't had the chance to create a topic to show the results.

Yup id consider that as Fantastic beading Bluebiggrin

You can see the water droplets are small/uniform and lots of them
When they are like this the car will dry quicker
Some waxes eg Swissvax creates large aswell as small beads, but due to the sizes it seems take longer to dry

Id say the P21 does a better job than the Jeffs as you can see the bonnet is already drying itself

I took a Video of the 845 on my car when I was hosing it down . Ill try get it uploaded on You tube

Im sure the other guys will have a say soon Bluebiggrin

RE: Is this Good Beading? - Vincent
I always thought the smaller the beads (drop size) the better? ...

1st wax I personally used was 845 (sample Carn sent) ... only applied it to the bonnet ...

... the car was wet the morning ...
... drove to work ...
... on my way into the building noticed that the bonnet was the only dry part on the car ...

.. waxed the rest of the car that weekend ...

Looks pretty decent Vincent. Whats the sheeting like between the 2?

Personally I like to sheet as much water off the car post detail/wash as possible. Beading is all fine and good when it comes to rain but you inevitably end up with a spotty finish as the droplets evaporate and leave dust & other dissolved solids behind (water spots).
