"shot" means you have no LSP left as there is no beading in your photos, time to reapply something.

but those shots were taking after pressure washing. i didnt just use the hose so could it be that? Would pressure washing give me the right beads of water?

If your wax/sealant/coating is doing it's job it won't matter how the water finds it's way onto the surface. The water contact angle of a hydrophobic surface is what causes water to pool into droplets and create the oh so vaunted beading effect. How the water lands on the surface does not change the chemistry at play resulting in beading.

I don't believe pressure washing has anything to do with the lack of beading you are seeing.

I pressure wash my Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant coated car weekly with no ill effects.

What is you complete washing process?

What soap are you using?

And a frozen bead shot!



Wolfgang paint sealant 3.0 is all that's on there. Maybe this weekend I'll top it with one of the Xmas waxes!!
