Beeding Like Crazy After 6 Months......
This is not a daily driver, but first time I detailed it was 6 months ago it only have 4,500 miles on it, now 6 months later it's got 11,000 and still beeding like crazy.
First time over was wash, claybar, light cleaner, NXT.
This time around dawn wash, claybar, Z5 followed with Z8.
After six months here's what I saw when washing it again.
After claybar and some Z5 with Z8.

Vehicle looks good 
and I’ve read enough of your posts to know that you realise that beading comes from surface tension and has nothing to do with wither or not the surface is protected.
And besides I don’t want to suffer Bugman’s wrath
with another explanation of surface tension and durability

Naaaa -- no disagreement with you on the beading issue, TOG -
I think it's nice to have beading on my cloth top to show me that the fabric is not "wetting". On the paint I'm not sure what it means, but I still like to see it happen.
And Josh - that color looks GREAT, as do the Z06 wheels. Very

Thanks. The owner is thinking about replacing it with a new Z06.......as much as I like this one I can't really argue with getting a Z instead....
