Sorry, no pics

I've noticed that after waxing a car thoroughly and after a few weeks, the trunk, hood, and the other horizontal surfaces show significantly decreased beading compared to that on the vertical panels. I understand that the horizontal panels are exposed to the air when the car is driven, but is it normal that the beading on the hood is all distorted while the vertical panels are still beading very nicely? If so, what do you guys do to maintain even protection on the car? Perhaps add another coat of wax on the horizontal surfaces (I'm using Collinite 476S)? I'll try to take some pictures when I get the chance.
