have you ever seen water bead like this?

I applied P21S ( 100% Carnauba) about a month ago. Car is garage kept at night. I have not done much since then other than a couple of quick wipe downs with eagle 1 Wipe&Shine ( A waterless wash kind of thing). It was raining the other day, just a light mist really, and when I came out to the car I saw this.

Nothing like a nice beading shot.

Here's some BFWD with morning dew!

Re: have you ever seen water bead like this?

@OP...A Catch-22 (?):

-Many vehicle owners have come to equate water-beads/beading as a "good thing";
when, in fact, after the water beads have dried/evaporated, they leave behind all of their
contaminates---including acids...as unsightly water spots that can stain/etch,
and/or otherwise damage the paint---sometimes permanantly.

Sure, nice photo-op...
But...IMHO...get those water-beads off the vehicle as fast as possible!!

The good thing about a good slick coat of wax... pretty much as soon as I start driving most of it was gone. In fact just sitting in the car was enough of a bump to cause alot of the water to start pooling together and running off the car... over the gutter.. and onto my seat. Oh what fun.
