Rain Beads!

I sealed my paint with Zaino AIO, f/b Z2/Z5 back in Nov 2008. I maintain my car with ONR at QD strength (to save water), or if its really dirty with a wet wash using Meguiars GC, both followed by DG AW.

Rain is always refreshing here in SD because it is such a rare occurrence, and to my pleasant surprise, this is what I saw on the roof of my car when leaving work today:

 

Very impressive. 6 months durability and still going.

 

Not bad, Not bad at all...:thumb:

 

That's some tight beads. Wonder if the AW is doing that??

 

that looks amazing, and 6 months wow.

 

Wow. It looks like your car has scales! lol

 

Notice the other cars have NO beads, those Beads really are the tightest I have ever seen...Awesome Dude:missy:

 

Great pics!!

 

WOW! I love beading shots!!!

 

hhmmmm makes me happy

 

that's an E90 isn't it?

 

you can tell that from the roof of the car??

 

Notice the shark fin on the back. Along with some other que's of course. :lol:

 

Well if you can tell its an E90 from the fin antenna, then your more car crazy then me..

 

i have one at home

shark fin
chrome trim = 330 or 335
shape of the pillars
the material of the trim on the moonroof (i burned mine)

that's how you know you're too into your car lol

 

Beads always look nice but the beading is attributed to ONR QD and AW on a regular basis.

 

Thanks everyone for the comments, and for sharing your tips on boards like this. Really helps someone like me who still has a lot to learn. It puzzles some of my friends/family how I can get so excited about water beads. I agree that the DG AW is playing an important role in maintaining the beading. And BTW, SpecC is one sharp cookie!
