Agreed! the stage between being nice and clean..and being dirty haha

that picture doesn't look real!
 
Haha yeah usually is the inbetween point! lol Or that point where you go 'Sh!t it's raining and I've just washed the car' lol

The last pic does look crazy, with the flash on the pictures actually came out darker haha

Everyone loves a bit of beadage. Anyone wanna guess which LSP gave me that result above? ;)
 
Awesome!! Can't beat a beading thread. :)

Singlespeed - Is that XXX the Chemical Guys XXX Hardcore?? I've got a pot of that and never opened it haha

This was the Mrs old car after a dose of polishing and then a quick once over with some Meguiars Gold Class. I like that wax in terms of looks and use but it lasts all of about five minutes.

This was my Lupo roof after a polish with SRP and coat of Collinite 476. It was weird as it tried to bead the condensation.

Same roof but eventually black with the same combination.

Yes, that was the Chemical Guys XXX wax. Highly under rated as the carnuba content is up there with some of the best waxes, but at a very cheap price. I have gone over to Acrylic sealants so posted my leftovers to a member on here ;)
 
Stupid thing is I have it but have never got round to using it although bought it because it's well regarded. Some seriously uniform beading going on. :)
 
need to take some beading shots, only got these "frozen" ones

I always use half decent wax on mine which gives good beading but on the mrs' car I use cheap ***** and the beading is amazing, all small and tight and it seems to last longer :(
