Is this quite possibly the best bead?

[sallison1504]

Came out to my daughters car this morning and was very impressed with my handy work. Is this considered a good bead?

A work of art! What did you use to achieve such a result? Looks fab.

You have been busy

The car is washed, for £5, at local hand wash. They use the "secret" spray all over and then it's wiped down and dried.

I then seize the car, apply Turtle Wax wet and dry, all over. Then the colour enhancing wax all over, followed by a final coat of Turtle Wax wet and dry.

I then book the rest of the afternoon off and lock myself away with the bottle of Rain-X, and apply to all windows.

The final product is quite something and brings back the shine Ford didn't intend from the factory.

While there is some hydrophobic activity here, true beads will be circular, from the tiniest presence of moisture to the largest.

Mine's not bad.

It took you 2 years to work that out?

Na, was just browsing through threads

Oh didn't realise it was a resurrection!

Still, with brand new paint and several applications of Sonax BSD, mine shows off Rashman's hydrophobic definition!

Nothing like a bit of beadage

Frost looks super cool on a well-waxed car too.
Back when I had my 208 and didn't have a garage, frost formations were fascinating.

I'd get seashell patterns one after the other all over the car, like scales.

My turn

Call that beading....

THIS is beading

And there speaketh the cleaning anorak

RIP your paint and clear coat taking to your local scratch and shine. I just don't understand how someone can buy a car they desire only to let people mutilate the finish.

Mine is similar to ShaunB's
