    Today was some weather for beading!
    Saw tonnes of cars with a good looking coating, though the majority were fairly new cars so i'd say its from the factory.

    I EGP'd my wagon months ago and it seems to still have a decent finish.
    It was a lot better originally of course.

    Manufacturers don't apply wax or anything like that from the factory so I'd say it's either a cheap dealer applied coating or people are copping on :pac:

    Not a great shot but woke up to a car that looked like it had been covered in felt - the beads were micro-beads

    Todays beading.

    Car was given a coat Menzerna Powerlock a few weeks ago and today washed and given a light mist of OAC Perfection.
    Then it rained.

    Thanks to DetailingShed for advising Coolinte 845.

    Applied one coat 6 weeks ago and another coat yesterday.

    For a change I couldn't wait for it to rain :)

    Beads aren't as good as Vectra have!
    This is after a coat of Fusso.

    Those beads are not bad at all
    Try a second coat of fusso.

    Failing that, Get yourself a tin of king of Gloss or Authentic,
    Both great and both simple to use.

    Vectra - I am following your advice, two coats of Fusso are applied already. I have bought KOG and I'll apply it after the next wash :)

    Just curious

    How long did you leave between coats?
    I left 24 hours though a couple of hours should suffice,,
    I prefer to play safe than sorry :)
