Here`s a great thread over on the Megs site regarding Megs PP Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability - Page 15 One thing pointed out by Mike Stoops is that the best beading will appear after the first wash.

here`s a post by mike stoops at Meguiars:
We appreciate you taking the time to put that video together, but we want to point out a few things about the behavior of this product and how you might want to slightly alter your test, should you decide to do a follow up video.
First off, while a 24 hour cure time is indeed important, what is perhaps even more important is that the product be allowed to sit for a week or so, and then wash the car. Doing that will allow any of the "carrier ingredients" and oils from the product to dissipate and get washed away. That then allows the true nature of the product to show through. What we`d love to see is Paint Protect side by side with the same product you used in this video, then a week later wash the car (or just the hood, for demo purposes, if you wish), and compare the results. Then wash it again. And again. Let`s then see what`s left of this and the other product.
Remember, we aren`t saying that this product will have the tightest beads in the world, just that the beading will extremely long lasting. One is maybe a very short lived "ooh and aah" trick, the other is actually a very desirable feature of the product.Michael Stoops

Looks like this video IS the followup of 1 week Stoops was going on about. So, unless the guy was lying, Ice was better. That doesn`t surprise me, Megs may make some great polishes and cleaners, but their sealers/waxes are average at best - and I`m being kind with that.

I have used megs paint protect a couple of times already on friend`s cars after a wash, clay, and a one step with megs swirl-x. paint protect was easy on, easy off, and left a nice slick finish. one vehicle I wiped off after 5-10 minutes was much easier than the second which I applied the sealant to the entire vehicle before wiping off, which was more difficult, but still no big deal. very little of the product goes a long way. I will say that the gloss was not as nice to me as say, bfwd, but acceptable, as was the beading. I am looking forward to the long term claims if I can keep myself from waxing over the sealant which I love doing since my intro to the bfwd/bfms combo. I just love the look. one thing is for sure, you can`t beat meg`s price for the new sealant. I hope it holds up.
If you like BFWD, try Menz Power Lock, cheaper - looks great, very slick and extremely easy to use.

I applied it to the hood of my daily driver yesterday to test it out. There is rain scheduled for this weekend so it will not be a full 7 days. More like 5 days. Hopefully the warm sunny weather will cure it a little quicker. It is slick upon removal, more likely due to the carrier oils in the product. It also spreads out fairly easy and on doesn`t need a lot to apply it. For those wanting something that adds gloss this isn`t the product for it. It does darken the paint a little but nothing too noticeable. Loach and I have been in talks about the product behavior. I will see how it behaves.

I`ve been wondering about this product since I saw it appear on ACC awhile ago. Good info here thanks
I believe Megs says this should be the last product to touch the paint, so you can glaze or wax and then top with 365PP last. Pretty sure I read that on Megs, just can`t find it.

It seems the sheeting nature of this product could work for me. I work in a light industrial area, and when there is a light rain the water beads nicely on my car which, when combined with the dust in the air, makes for nicely formed water spots when the car dries. Sheeting could be better than beading in this scenario.
For $10 bucks local this could be worth it.
