Post Your Beading Shots!!!

Not the best picture, poor lighting and white paint. Top of my Mustang after some decent rain. Many different sizes of beads. The longer beads in the background were starting to combine and roll off the car.

Coating of Griots 3-in-1 ceramic.

Wolfgang DGPS after the first rain we’ve had in weeks.

We had our first real rain for a couple of months, so it was time to check out the beads. On the roof they seemed to be plumper than everywhere else, but it was most recently polished with Carpro Essence, then sealed with NV Lustre/Jet combo, while the rest was waxed with Collinite 845. It might be time to use Essence - Lustre - Jet everywhere.

I didn't realise I was the last one to post some beading shots up, but it makes for any easy comparison. It hasn't been washed this month, but the wash was a RW with Ech2o, which seems to be holding up really well. The beading actually seem better than last time, and we've had some decent rain since then, but it was really light misty rain today, so no free wash.

Probably my favorite of their products, very easy to work with and brilliant when used as a drying aid with their rinse-less wash.

Can Coat EVO topped with Bead Maker....................

Here's some beading after cleaning the glass with Carpro Clarify Phobic. Last pic shows a comparison with beads on the paint, which had Collinite 845 put on it a few months ago, and was more recently washed with Carpro Ech2o 2-3 weeks ago. The beading is a lot more uniform and circular on the glass.

Either the BM is masking or that might need a decon wash. Lack luster for CCEvO

The Qashqai was parked out in the rain today. The paint has NV Lustre/Jet combo on it. The glass was coated with Soft 99 Glaco a while back, but cleaned with Carpro Clarify Phobic a week ago, you can actually see the reflections of the beads on the interior surface of the glass. Last pic I experimented with lighting.
