came out from wally world and this is what i arrive to, had to drive extra slow back to house otherwise there would be no evidence left of the beading...haha, didn't have my camera on me so that's why i drove back home to take pics, the things us detailers do in life...:headbang:

awww yeeeaaahhh...a little take on MJ's song..."beat it"...no wait, i meant "bead it", "just bead it"...:razz:









i detailed the exterior and applied protection about 1.5 months ago...

 

and the protection was???????

 

I saw this posted by joshs09silverbullet http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/show-shine/32787-wolfgang-fuzion-beading-shots.htm and that got to top them all

 

lol...remainders of my PB Natty Blue, used it up so i could throw away the jar and replace with a new wax.

 

As others have mentioned, it really depends on how the water hits it. That being said I would classify Opti-Guard more as a"sheeting" product.

When I first watched the video, I could've sworn you were Canadian (by the way you talk). I had to look at your location under your screen name to be sure!

That's pretty impressive beading and sheeting. How long had it been since it was applied before the video was shot?

 

LOL. Well I did grow up in Northern MN, so it was pretty darn close to Canada ya know.

I think it had only been on the car a week or two before shooting the video but the beading/sheeting should continue for years if well maintained. I had originally applied in to my car in July of 2010 but I re-polished last spring after accumulating some light marring over the winter. It was still going strong in the spring though.

 

Bump!

Here are some shots of BlackFire Wet Diamond All Paint Sealant topped with Dodo Juice Banana Armour, topped with Zymol Glasur.

 

Nice!

 

Here's a few of two coats of Sonax Premium Class, about 8 hours of cure time between coats.

 

Awesome shots sikedsyko!
