Two weeks ago I applied m21 to my black RAV.
As I passed near it I couldn't help but notice great beading but it's the reflection that got my attention, I wasn't really looking but it stopped me in my tracks just with a glance. :dblthumb2:

I found out how well the m21 worked for me, if your looking for a really good paint sealant under $25.00 than give the m21 a try.
I think it will surprise you. :dblthumb2:
 
Nice photo. I agree that M21 is a good sealant.
 
Yes...M21 2.0 is a very good Sealant!

No Sun = Less Water Etchings

Nothing beats the true reflection in nice clear black paint!

Beading looks weak IMO.

Weak?

Well that was just one shot, it really has amazing beading, maybe the picture doesn't show it justice but looking at it in person it's really cool to see the crazy beads:dblthumb2:

I also thought the reflection was nice too.
For the money it cost, or the lack of money you sure get a lot out of the m21

I mean a bottle of NXT is only about five bucks less than the m21 and more long lasting protection.

They appear to be flat, irregular beads. I guess I'm just used to seeing duragloss and collinite beading on my car.

I have some Collinite that I thought of topping over the M21.
Someone said it wouldn't do well for the m21?
I have plans to either apply another coat of m21 or some Nuba.

I would recommend another coat of M21 then top that with M26. :xyxthumbs:

Then you can just maintain with M135 and D156 for a very long time.

Well I have some M26 so I may try it.
I'm using the DPQD now with great results.
Also have some CG P-40 that had a good amount of wax in it.
I rotate the two.

Once you start with the P-40 its like hard not to use it:)
Its one of the best smelling DS' s IMO.
Nothing wrong in having a few brands I say

Should the beads are be a regular circle? Does the shape and or size mean anything?
Thank you

My layman's understanding of some of the: Chemistry of Water

A liquid drop on a surface tends to form an almost spherical shape if the forces of attraction (cohesion) between the liquid molecules is strong and the forces between the liquid and and the solid (adhesion) are weak.
When a liquid is said to have strong cohesive forces...it has a high surface tension.
Water is an example of a liquid with high surface tension.

In a round about way:
The more spherical a water bead is, the more surface tension that is present.
A geometrical method to determine the amount of surface tension is to measure its contact angle.
The greater the contact angle approaches 180 degrees...the greater the sphericality of the bead, of course. But also the greater the hydrophobicity should be.

The above factors, then, will be an overall determinate of the water beads' "wettability" nature.

M21 is a great bang for the buck. I also like M20 for its light chemical cleaning ability. Surprisingly, I've never tried topping 20 with 21. Hmm...

The taller, tight, perfectly round beads are more represent more hydrophobic properties than flat, irregular, larger sized beads. The more hydrophobic the surface is means the less stuff will stick to it.

From what I have read M21 is the professional version of NXT.

To comment on the beading, M21 can be deceiving in beading. Sometimes it has tight beads and other times it's not as tight. At least that is what I noticed. The sheeting of M21 is great.
