History : This is an 06 BMW SUV that belongs to a regular customer of mine. I taught him how to wash & dry the car properly. The car is night garaged but spends Mon/Fri out in the elements here in a smelter town so its a little harsh.
I don't have pix but the gloss isn't important its the longivity I'm expressing.
It was done 5 May 07 .. polished out with optimum products followed with PoliSeal to clean things up then a single layer of Meguiars #21 was applied.
The car was washed every weekend and today when we washed it it was starting to show degredation of the beading , but beading non the less, on the hood and roof but the sides were still beading as if it were just done. Thats 5 full months.
I checked again with the owner to see if any other products were used since I did it and he confirms nothing was used not even QD spray etc.
He also advised me the truck I did for him the next day also still beads water per the BMW.
We don't have a mild climate here ... we hit over 100F a few times this summer.
I'll get both these again in the spring and will try to remember to report again.

Nice to hear it holds up so well.
