    This is the first wash since I did the correction detail on this 370z. Thought some of you might be interested in seeing how Passion beads/sheets water.

    Here's a short video,

    hamza7 Welcome to Detailing

    Beading looks awesome Jason, how long ago did you do the correction. Also you STILL haven't found a reputable shop to paint that body kit.

    Thanks Martin. I started with Citrus to take care of the bugs, then while I was filling up my buckets, I accidentally sprayed the car and saw the results of the water beading. I thought I better record it for the guys to see.

    Hamza, I did the correction near the end of May. This wouldn't be a good example of real world longevity (incase that's what you're looking for) because the Z is garage kept, and only driven in the nice weather one or two times a week.

    I do have a bodyshop that can do the work. He is very, very, picky and does high quality work. Many of his vehicles have been photographed for magazines. The only problem is, he's swamped with work and won't be able to get to it until fall/winter. It's disappointing because I was going to be hitting some big shows with the car this summer. Now it looks like I'll hit some of the the big indoor winter shows and go crazy with shows next summer. My new wheels are being made as we speak and I should have them early September, and if all goes well, I'll be installing a mid mount turbo sometime this winter as well... bringing the car up to ~500+ hp. Waiting is killing me. lol

    Thanks Jason - Passion here in NC is going strong roughly shy of 4 months. Car is hand washed by me weekly and only the aid of Finale for quick touch ups after the wash. Really impressed thus far and the beads are unreal as you know :)

    Martin, what ever you need as far as photos go, let me know. I can get you bigger photos (any size) if you need. I can also take some beading photos with the product in the shot as well.

    I've been waiting to put another order in with you... Shoot me an email, or I can email you...
