I feel sad enough to participate in this subject :D

This was a couple of months after claying, Autoglym SRP and an application of Collinite #476:

Car garaged every night and only covering 4-5k miles a year: that helps :lol:

I end up only waxing twice a year as the 476 just seems to last well. I last waxed mine mid-Oct and it's still beading well even now. Will be due a clay/polish/rewax sometime before summer kicks in though.

Love a bit of beadage! I used a nano seal for the winter and it's still beading as if i applied it last wk! impressed, but i still prefer a natural wax.

Does Roof beading count? This is after treating the roof with Auto Glym cleaner and proofer
