A bit of a strange one...beading and rain spots.

[Big Tone]

Right, this may sound strange but, car is clean, machine polished, glazed, sealed and waxed, so beading is good. BUT.
If it rains the car beads beautifully, but when other, "less looked after" cars have dried, mine is still covered in small droplets and if I dont get rid of these by drying or driving I end up with loads of spots all over the car which dont go until I wash her again.

But beading is the point right???

How can I prevent this?

This is the norm mate with beading, it will attract dust more and also the calcium in the water gets concentrated into one area ( the bead) then dries causing the water spotting.

Sealants will make your car sheet and Dry faster with less spotting, they also help keep your car cleaner for longer.

Jetseal is a good product but there is better more advanced out there now.

My lsp is dodo juice blue velvet, sealant under that. Is the sealant really affecting the beading?

Look into zaino z2,wolfs body wrap, permanon,G-techniq sealants,
No the sealant isnt effecting the beading as its underneath the wax, next time you have a session try just using sealant and you'll see how much cleaner the car stays

After a 'standard' bi weekly wash or what ever I normally smash some DJ red mist on it, this is like a spray sealant right? So when I put this onto my wax (DJ SNH) as a top up, it is then the 'spray' sealant that does that job right?

 

If so would it be pointless in me even waxing my car in the first place?

I am soon to be getting some CG V7 as my RM is running out

Hi mate, red mist is High in solvents so will degrade your wax over time so use it when your beading starts to drop off plus as you are using SNH you should see at least 6/8 months protection from it,

 it does have sealant property's and you'll see around a month of protection out of it so you can use it as a stand alone lsp but durability isn't great if that's what you want from it, it's a great gloss enhancer though, red mist tropical has less solvents so is easier on application and kinder to the wax layer underneath.

Haven't used v7 personally but again a great gloss enhancer but again not high up in the durabilty stakes.

Why wax? To protect the sealant I guess?
