Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

pollen can be quite abrasive indeed ...

While some suggest sealants over nubas do to their benefits, one detraction I find all to often is birdie doo-doo scaring the paint when a sealant is only protection. Its almost as if waxes keep it above the surface.

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

How about topping the Fuzion with a lawyer of DGPS or 4* UPP? Then top again with Fuzion.

Perhaps it is the polen. I ran it on the highway through a downpour. The damn pollen is still on the car. Slick still, but still sticking to the Fuzion. BTW, what is the durability of Fuzion?

I wonder how it affects beading in general. I had been running a wax test and the mighty 476s seems no better than any other in terms of beading after almost 2 months...maybe the 476 can take the salt up north but not the pollen down south.

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

Well the pollen was HORRIBLE this year up in the Northeast....imagine a week full of sun and a THICK coat of pollen followed by daily rain for the last 8-10 days...thats what its been like in NJ
So far, once the pollen washed off the car after the 3rd or 4th day of rain, paint still beads up nicely. Whats DGPS or 4* UPP? (sorry still learning abbreviations) LOL

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

Not just pollen but dirt and dust in general will inhibit beading.

Wash the car

I tend to agree. Car beads quite well at first rain right after a detail session, but after a week of driving and real world dirt/contaminents and it doesnt bead quite as well till washed clean.

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

Last week I put on a coat of Collinite 845 on my car and a coat of DG 111 on my wifes van . It is raining now , my wifes van is beading like crazy, my car is not. I park under some trees my wife doesent. Could it be tree sap of pollen.

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion

If you park under trees, I know some trees will give off something that will kill any beading/slickness in paint after a rain.
