Natty's Red beading???

[sportscarhiatus]

Have any of you seen beading like this? I applied Natty's Red over the weekend. It rained this week. On my way out of the office, I proceeded to go to my car and was greeted with this all over the car. I quickly took shots using my phone. Have any of you ever seen tight beading like this? This was a first for me. I thought 845 was tight. This is a whole 'nother level. Is tight beading necessarily a "good" thing???

No, it looks good. Sealants seem to provide more uniform bead sizes for whatever reason. I guess less surface tension I'd guess?

Those are awesome beads for a $20 dollar wax, no two ways about it.

No big deal I just have never seen anything that tight. Not even with 845 or Menz Powerlock. They all have "looser" beads than this. However, a drawback of having tight beads might be that the water tends to stay on the paint longer rather than "pooling up" then dripping off the car. That would mean that the paint will have water on it longer, with the beads acting as a magnifying glass for the sun, and a magnet for contaminants.

So in a way, is beading actually bad for a paints' finish???

Sorry, I didn't mean for my post to sound like a competitive sorta thing.

He just made it sound like beads that tight were uncommon.

My bad, not a well thought out post...

The beads really do look great tho!:buffing:

Tighter beading is usually a sign that tells us how much, or how little wax or protection we have on our vehicles.

Looks like you are set!:xyxthumbs:

Just waxed mine with "Duragloss 601+105", waiting on LSP.
