    Please feel free to share your findings on LSPs - whether or not they are "beading" LSPs or "sheeting" LSP and add photos if applicable.

    I'm classifying it more as a sheeting LSP as it's not very orb like. I sprayed water on the hood to get this effect anyways.

    Any other people want to contribute?

    its kind of hard to say what wax beads or sheets or even if its the wax at all. It all depends on how the water hits the car.whether its rain, a mist, or a flow of water from a bucket.every wax can both sheet and bead.also it depends on what someone used before applying the wax or sealant.polishing a car in it self can cause some crazy beading. beading occurs when a hard smooth suface(paint or glass) is clean.That means when a painted surface has been washed,clayed and polished to remove all contamants from the surface.ever see a brand new car out of a factory? paint beeds like crazy and nothing is even on the car.so overall some waxes may look better in some pictures then others mainly depending on how the car was preped for wax. dont believe me..try it out for yourself.either way it is still one of my favorite things to look at..gotta love a good picture of beading paint.
