Beading characteristics

[MattZ28]

I used ClearKote Carnauba Moose Wax on my whole car (3x...2nd layer was after 24 hours, 3rd layer was applied 2 days after that), as well as the windshield. When I washed, I noticed that the paint sheeted similar to EX/EX-P, but the windshield beaded like crazy, along with the other windows which have Zaino on them.

I wonder why it's like that? It's something I've noticed with other sealants/waxes. They'll stop beading on my paint, but will continue to bead on my windows. The windows also never seem to be affected by wash shampoo residue, they always bead like crazy.

Any explanation as to why this happens?

I would think that maybe the windows take less wear and tear as they are not impacted as much, especially the side windows. Maybe even if they're rolled up/down?

Otherwise, maybe the sealants -- once bonded -- really stick to the glass?

No idea...if anything, my paint gets more attention (QDing, etc). My windshield takes as much abuse as the paint (although it doesn't get as hot), and beads the same as the other windows.

The only windows that I have seen not beed were my sisters. She got up every morning and used glass cleaner on them. I mean every morning. When i detailed her truck for her as a gift, I was amazed at them. The rest of her truck was clean, but nothing like the windows.
