Beading, Beading and more Beading

**Nica** · 07-18-2007, 10:44 PM

I've been meaning to post these up. Just been forgetting.

Now my Volvo I detailed oh I think back in January or February and I haven't done anything else to it besides just regular washing same goes for my Lexus.

Here is the Volvo's beading, the Volvo has Souveran Paste as the LSP:

I like this one

Here is some beading on my Lexus, it has Liquid Souveran as the LSP:

Now do you guys remember the little Mercedes SLK I did, belongs to a co-worker of mine. Well he took pictures of his beading, he was blown away by the beading that he took pictures and a video. The SLK has Souveran Paste as LSP:

The video (mmmm..having some techincal dificulties loading the video

I'll post shortly)

Enjoy

Carlos, besides the regular washing, what else did you use to maintain between washes, i.e; QD?

I can honestly say that I'm obsessed with beading. I'd rather have a worse looking wax as long as it beads wickedly. Good thing is that I don't have to sacrifice, but MAN I love beading!!! I want it to rain sometimes on the way to work just so I can admire the raindrops just being rushed off my paint. It's a beautiful sight. I have a problem...

Nica, so the Volvo hasn't had any spray wax, qd, or anything like that, just washing ever since January/February? That is insane! So Souveran does last

P1et, I actually like seeing the beading of Meg's 16 on my car. I love driving while there's beads flying off the hood when it's raining

Hah, this is a cool thread. Love beading as well. Thanks for some pictures of your Volvo, man. I'm not a fulltime nerd about Volvo but the 960 was the last car developed by the Swedish team so it has a number of smart and simple mechanical solutions and that I can admire.

All cars look the part. Cheers-Daniel
