We have thunderstorms moving through my area today, so I'll get some pics when I can pop out to the parking lot here at work. After my first coat I had nice beading, nothing extra extroidinary mind you that a high quality wax wouldn't produce as well, but what I noticed was when I drove the car the water just rolled/flew off my car with ease. The car also seemed to get way less dirty when it did rain and I drove through it. Normally the sides of my car are filthy. I am no expert here, I just work on the 2 cars in my garage. I am happy so far and plan on coating my wife's vehicle with the next few weeks here. We will see in ther long run how well it holds up. Winters can be harsh here in Michigan.
