product that does'nt bead?
so a guy that I've known for a couple of years now, just bought a new black mustang GT, and he want's me to work on it, but he doesn't want beading on it because it leaves water spots if not dried correctly. he really like that DP coating I put on his explorer 2 years ago (probably all gone a long time ago)
He's in is late 50s and owns a couple of NAPA stores, type of guy who probably thinks that Turtle wax is the only thing I use... so when I said most products will bead water, and will need to be dried off, he had that confussed look...
any products out there that offer good protection, and don't bead very well? lol, never thought I would be asking a question like this!

The chemical guys second skin coating was reported to sheet far more than it beads.
Look into that.

If I'm remembering correctly...
The Meguiar's Chemists...that originally
formulated Gold Class Wax...designed it:
to not bead water/to not bead water very well.

You could actually toss in Meguiar's NXT/M21 or Ultimate Wax into the mix if you are looking for a sheeting sealant.

Re: product that does'nt bead?
You're right, most products will be slightly hydrophobic and bead to some extent, even clean and decontaminated clearcoat won't be completely hydrophilic and will leave spotting if you're parked next to a hard water source or don't dry the car off after a wash.
I agree with aim4squirrels,Bob, and Guz - both Gold Class and CG SS6 have lackluster hydrophobic properties that I've seen. Meguiar's Ultimate Wax and their NXT 2.0 are more hydrophobic than Gold Class but their water beading isn't at the level of other products. Meguiar's Paint Protect and ICE Shine Lock Sealant also left me with lower hydrophobic levels compared to most other products I've tested so far. Wolfgang Fuzion is also not a very hydrophobic wax at all.

My new coat of Duragloss 111/601 is sheeting instead of beading. It does make it easier to dry.
