Thought this shot was cool when leaving work.

Gotta love FK1000p x2. Probably 3 months old at this point, with a topper of Megs UQW maybe a week before this pic.

Beads are tough to come by this time of year, but I thought this ice shot was interesting. I think there is next to no LSP on this car, its my brothers and it was on the island all summer just got back here. Needs some Hydro2 for the winter.

That is cool. Could you feel ridges if you ran you hand across the surface?

Trashmanssd`s ice photo reminded me of a few photos I took last year of my (previous) DD after applying BF Crystal Seal:

Trunk:

Hood:

Looking down the drivers side:

It was neat to see how dramatically different the same frost formed on the car.

csl topped with exo
(for the record this was as result of the hose rinse before the rw in garage, but car was most likely 90% clean from just the hose rinse alone)

I was doing some yard work when I noticed the beading on a bush in my back yard. I was really impressed with how hydrophobic the leaves were.

This is on my DD that`s absolutely filthy from it raining and all the mud on the roads from construction. Only thing it had on it is the ultima acrylic spray wax I put on months ago. This poor car is so abused. Hah.

Yeah they were very pronounced, you could feel and see the ridges in person like groves in a record.

Wait a minute! Isn`t it winter up there? I would think all of Canada is a post-apocalyptic waste land in late January.

admittedly the car has been daily driven all week and last washed six days ago on Sunday actually

it was a little dirty on the lower portions and just a little dusty on sides/top

i only drove it today because i knew it was gonna rain and i wanted sky bead shots

cosmic v2+spritz+flake+high gloss

right behind that door...csl+exov3

further back on that quarter is csl+exov2

trunk lid is (from your left) csl+exov2
your right half is csl+exov3

notice the difference?

pretty obvious in person

three great coating combos

two with a ridiculous distaste for h20, lol

zero visible difference in full sun

pa diver beads on glass

HMMM, does exo2 shed water better than exo3.

A few weeks back, after stripping the LSP from the roof of this car, I wrote this word using Natty`s Blue.

much better
contact angle is higher
everything else about v3 is better than v2 though
