    Yeah. Funny how it returned after 8 hours. I'm guessing (maybe hoping) it washed away.

    Either that, or the 476 had had enough of this "imposter" and sent it packing. Lol

    This pic is from about 3:00 after it had been pouring most of the day.

    Looks like the beading has returned.

    Did the 520 wash away? Did it “normalize” itself into the 476?

    Not sure.
    Paul,

    •From the pictures it appears that #520’s
    surfactant(s) are very good at reducing
    the amount of surface tension between
    the hood and the existing water-beading.

    -But that is the job of surfactants.
    [Reviewers have stated:
    ‘it is a very good cleaner’.]


    Even though it’s advertised/described as
    producing a unique bead and sheet shine,
    perhaps #520’s surfactant(s) “overpowers”
    (too much of) the Collinite Wax that’s in
    the bottle.

    •If that’s the case, then IMO:
    -Collinite should either immediately update
    #520’s product description—regarding the
    “enhancing your wax look and durability”
    sections— and forwarding the update to
    all of its distributors;
    -or, respond to the observations, concerns,
    and any other issues brought forward in this
    thread, in a reasonable time-frame.


    •But if, as you said:
    -‘All arguments over beading/sheeting etc.
    aside, I really LIKE my beading’!...

    -then #520’s attribute of: a unique bead and
    sheet shine, may not fit the bill.

    I'm sure this product isn't "Junk".

    But, I just hate to see my beloved beading affected "negatively" (In my eyes).

    Flawed thinking? I'm sure it is, given my track record. Lol

    The 520 will not be wasted though. I am not as particular about beading on machines such as my riding mower.....

    I've used it as a drying aid, works pretty good. I've used it standalone after drying the vehicle with a different drying aid and it plays well with other products. I've also used it after drying with no aids, basically as a once over to amp up the shine. TBH, works pretty good.

    Outside of this thread which seems to have stalled out...have others been using it?

    A year later, I will say I tried the 520 a few more times before I gave up on it.

    Used it on my riding mower last summer, left it in the shed over the winter (forgot about it) and this spring I just whipped in the outgoing garbage.

    Pains me to say this because I am a dyed in the wool Collinite fan, but the 520 was a huge swing & miss IMO.
