Looks like it needs refereshing  

[Sparkly]

Just needs a wash, M62 sludge is probably detracting from the beads a touch now.

 

Will top it with the last of my Sonax QD, I smell a new QD purchase coming on

[ChrisRs]

Sonax QD is brilliant...Its the longest lasting QD I've ever used!!

[Sparkly]

Yup, my favourite as per previous posts on this.  It will outlast a good few LSP's

 

In fact some have accused it of being a spray sealant, in part due to the slightly higher cost but mostly down to the performance.

Did expect the thread to be about seat covers :think:

 

Got a very dirty white Superb with 4-5 weeks of grime on it - GTechniq still beading well though. Will get a pic in the morning.

Hellshine Abyss on my car after a week of filthy motorway miles to and from work.

 

These ridiculously tight beads came after a pressure wash to rinse salt with just water at the local Shell Garage.  The muck just slid off everything but the lowest parts of the lowest panels which have a fine layer of grime on them still

This is amazing! How did you achieve it?

[Sparkly]

TheBoyArmitage, going off both pictures, photography aside, I might have said your beading suggests better protection

[TheBoyArmitage]

Thanks Sparkly! Whats makes you think that?

Round beads

The more uniform, round and tall the bead the better, it implies a very hydrophobic surface.

That's why I was very chuffed with this, super round tight beads, even more so after a week of driving, it means the surface didn't allow any contaminants to stick to the surface either and pollute the beading effect.

If you look to the left on the roof where I have clearly missed a bit in application and the bead is really messy.

The day before hand I had hand polished the car and given it a quick lick of Jetseal 109 and also FinishKare 1000p... My favourite products! Even my wheels are beading nicely

Well those are two great products which I'd expect to give many months of protection.

I've just cleaned mine and found the dealers didn't manage to strip all the protection this time (in for a paint assessment for zinc blisters on the driver's door), though they have added a number of scratches and swirling

 

As it was sunny I managed to get a reasonable picture of the beading.
