I`d made a couple of posts over on Detailing World which I`ve amalgamated here for the advice of you guys over the pond!
Following on from this thread (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=349744#post349744) when I brought up Swissol Zuffenhausen beading I thought I`d post some pics of my own - having washed the car and the heavens having opened!
Now over the last couple of weeks I`ve been using my new PC on several panels so the wax is at different ages.
First off, the roof.

This was waxed about a month ago.
Next, the bonnet.

This was waxed a fortnight ago.
And lastly, the front bumper that I`d PC`d and waxed this afternoon.

There doesn`t appear to be any appreciable difference between them which suggests that Zuffenhausen just doesn`t bead very tightly, but is beading just about as well a month after application.
As such I`m wondering if my technique is lacking [although I get tight beading with Einzett Glanz or Meg`s NXT & M21] or whether I should try another wax to see how I get on with that.
My car`s a metallic black Audi TT and I`ve been considering the following; Collinite 915, Natty`s Blue, P21s, Chemical Guys Pete`s 53 or Victoria Concours.
Ease of use and durablity are important.
Any suggestions?
