I now officially have my car at school (Pepperdine University) which I reluctantly agreed to in order for my parents to situate the garage which can hold 3 cars but one of the bays has all our surplus moving stuff.
A view from my room (must have the car in my sights at all times lol.)

This past weekend, I made sure the car had a copious amount of protection from the elements (applied over 3 days). But even though it is Socal, it rained again today and this is the result:


Products:


-Paint was prepped
-1 layer of Collinite 915
-2 layers of Pinnacle Signature Series II

And finally, I have been testing 303 Fabric Guard on my roof and it looks like the one layer I applied is giving up after 5 months:

I know that beading is not necessarily desirable for some in terms of water spots and layering may not be beneficial but I am a sucker for nice beading which is what Sig Series II is great at. Just thought I would share, because I love beading!
 
Nice beads indeed...now make a necklace out of them. :laughing:
 
Thanks everyone!

Haha, yes sir. I found myself looking at how the other cars were beading in the parking lot on my way to my car, and I can safely say that my car holds the crown right now! I lead a sad life, I know...

I will try, might be a bit difficult though. ;)
 
Anyone used Collinite 915 vs. one of Dodo Juice's hard waxes? Would love to hear which one offers better protection.

EDIT: forgot to mention, GORGEOUS BEAD

Nice photography work.

I haven't tried the 303 Protectant yet but it could be you just need to add a fresh application and maybe apply 2-3 applications the next time you treat the top.

I have been using the RaggTopp on my Jimmy's Bikini Top and so far it's holding up to the Florida weather really good.

:xyxthumbs:
 
Thanks again to all you beadaholics haha.

I am going up to the car right now with my DP Rinseless W+G at QD strength and some XMT spray wax as we speak... The rain water here is relatively soft, but sitting in the sun will do bad things!

I am going to reapply as soon as I go home again; the only reason why I let it go this far is to really test durability against my experiences with Raggtop which was my previous protectant of choice. I will definately take your advice though on reapplying ASAP!

On the photos, I actually took them with my phone. I was going to bring up my D3000 but it started raining again.
 
Haha, my car has more of an ocean view than I do from my dorm window. It is an unbelievably beautiful area, even more so after the weeks worth of rain we had and the fact that I moved from CT a month ago!
