Hello Guys,



I woke up this morning to find my day of cleaning the autumn leaves and road gunk was off as it was between rain. This is my first lot of pics from my car beading in London Uk this year, a few snaps to enjoy:



The car hasnt been washed for a week:



The world in a bubble, it looks like a snowstorm ball remember those?? Heres my house in and what looks like a snowy sky, just the light relfecting in the water i think.

Some pearl effect with super tight beading:

When the car is clean, there is higher surface tension and i get alot more the water beading up and then running off.



Just a few others:

PS. On reflection, that ISNT MY HOUSE!! Its the house to the top left of the car, i guess its being reflected off the paintwork and through the water.
 
The beads look nice and tight. :drool:

What product was used as your LSP? How long has it been on the paint? Did you use a QD in between washes?



:thx

Hi



Opps, i forgot add the LSP is Zymol Destiny, its been on for around 7 weeks and i just wash it with Duragloss 901 CWC and maintain it with Clearkote Quickshine.



I have had the tub for around 2 and half yrs now and im about halfway through. It gives around 3 months of super beady protection!! So its worked out about $100 per yr used around 8 times a yr on two cars, sometimes some freebies for friends.



I dont bother buying HD cleanse or Clear etc. not worth the money IMO. Simple prep was done with a machine polish of 4* SMR (soft Jap paint), RMG then Destiny x1.



Thanks for the kinda comments!!

The paint beading looks great, but you gotta step up the beading on the windshield :) :)



Thanks!! Yeah i use VM on the windscreen but it doesnt seem to hold to well by the time you get traffic grime/autumn tree fall out on it. What will last longer??

Use Destiny on them. LoL



I use Z5pro or AW on my windows.
 
WOW!! The DG really beads up.



I will try some DG AW on the windows.



My girlfriend calls the car a "bubble car" when its all beading like that.
