Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion
After doing a 2 step polish with 106FF and PO85RD, I applied 2 coats of Fuzion waiting until the next day to apply the second coat. It rained for the first time, and the beading is horrible. Now, there about a week of built of pollen on the car. Does pollen eat away at the wax? Or is this poor bead normal? Beading is in large blobs instead of tighter drops?

Fuzion beads nicely, I have noticed though, that with a coat of pollen, the wax is still there, but the pollen inhibits the beading a bit, but washing the pollen off will help.
Or you can wash and just throw another coat on there.

One grain of pollen breaks the staic pressure in a bead of water causing it to "mate" or latch onto the next bead. They eventually form groups or puddles rather then beads. This is the condition you are witnessing. Pollen will always cause this condition when it breaks the static pressure.

Wash it and I'd bet that you will have tight beads.

Re: Poor beading with 2 coats of Fuzion
I haven't used Fuzion so I can't comment on its beading/sheeting properties but I must say, as glamorous as beading is for us all to see, I have really come to appreciate a products ability to simply shield off contaminant particles from enbedding themselves to my paint.
There are a handful of sealants I have discovered that offer very low levels of beading even after freshly applied. However, during a much nneded mit to paint session, those same sealants tend to glide all foreign contamints off the paint effortlessly. I have a hunch Fuzion is no different here, as I trust the testimony from some of those who love the stuff.
How slick does your paint feel with the back of your knuckles?
When you wash it the first time, please let us know how well you wash medium glides and removes dust/any contaminant present.
Beading is great but some of my favorites are almost null in that category, but also protect for months while bringing much pleasure to the washing process.

I took your advice, and now when I was my hands, the water just
glides off the back of my knucles.
