Hey guys, please post waxes you've used that sheet water off the car vs beading. So far I've used mother carnuaba wax and meguiars ultimate liquid wax. Both seem to bead water instead of sheet it off.

Collinite 476. Aside from that, ceramic coating.

I find more sheeting with sealants. If you are set on a wax, I believe most people will recommend 845.

The best sheeting wax that I've used is actually Chemical Guys XXX hardcore paste. It sheeted suprisingly well from what I can remember, although it has been a while since I've used it

Interesting considering that Meguiar's ultimate wax and M21 are more of a sheeting style sealant than a beading type. Ultimate wax will bead better than M21.

Who the hell knows what a "wax" is anymore. No true natural carnuba wax sheets very well. Hybrids and synthetics are the way to go. FK1000p and Sonax PNS both sheet like s coating and look great doing it

I was at Meguiar's when the decision was made to create waxes and sealants that bead water instead of sheeting because the perception by the masses is that if a product doesn't bead water really well and for a long time then the product doesn't protect or last very long.
Perception is reality
This was the after effect of the NXT vs Zaino Wax Wars.
I'd say go with SONAX PNS

Does anyone have a video to demonstrate the difference between sheeting and beading. I know what beading is (which was always a good thing back in the day).
But I don't think I've seen sheeting... or maybe I have and didn't know I did. :/

If you want to see sheeting, any vehicle with a good LSP will do it. I do it after every wash. Just FLOOD RINSE the vehicle. Low pressure all over the vehicle with your water hose with the nozzle removed. Makes drying a breeze too.
Another one...

WOW. I recall that stuff way back in the day. They tried to promote that beading was bad for a vehicle. Is is still around? I remember using it and it did indeed sheet the water.
