Re: The benefits of water beading?
why not introduce a new water sheeting product, creating minimal surface tension?
if its even possible..

Re: The benefits of water beading?
You're correct.Originally posted by tguil View PostBut not when it dries and leaves spots or collects dirt/dust.

Meguiar's invested decade into trying to educate people that water beading is a bad thing because if water lands on your car and you're not around to remove it, and then it dries, there's a great potential risk that the water, or more specifically, substances in the water and on the surface of your car that mix with the water will etch a hole into your car's paint that you will then have to remove by removing the paint surrounding the hole.
But try as hard as Meguiar's could, people want their car wax or their paint sealant to bead water.
You can't change people.
Educated people in the art of polishing paint understand that it's better o have a wax or paint sealant that sheets water instead of creating maximum surface tension which causes water beading, but over the last 60 or 70 years the people have spoken and the majority of people that pay attention to this topic want their wax or paint sealant to bead water really well and bead water for a long time.
It looks cool and gives them comfort.

Re: The benefits of water beading?
I have to agree with Matt.
It does look pretty cool. This wasn't moving I actually took it right after a rain.

The benefits of water beading?
When talking about waxes, people often refer to the water beading. The more it beads and the tighter the beads are, the "better" the wax.
So other than looking cool, what's the deal with water beading? How does it benefit the car, especially one that isn't moving?
