It really depends on the LSP. Some sheet, some bead small or large. What are you looking for?

I’ll be the first to admit that I love to watch my car bead water in the rain. I especially like the tight, little beads that race from the hood and glass :spot



I don’t think you can categorize any size or form of water bead as being optimum. After all, a new, perfectly fresh, and unprotected finish, will bead water like none other.

For me, optimum is small, tight, uniform beads.

In my experiences, Optimum does give a nice tight bead. Sorry no pictures, but I love the way it beads.

For large beads use your favorite carnauba wax applied over a polymer sealant.
