Looks nice, very reflective and tight beading. How much did the wax cost? You should update us on its durability.

Newb alert!!!
So tight beading is better than, say "loose" beading? I`m probably not phrasing that correctly. Why is "tight" beading important? I know that beading is important, but I`m just trying to see the difference. Thanks.

In the end beading is beading, but I prefer beads that are small in diameter and high in height as opposed to wide in diameter and low height almost like a puddle standing on your car..
If that makes sense.

It makes sense. I`m just wondering what factors would cause there to be different types of beading.
I always thought beading was beading.

Yup, there is definitely a difference in the way different LSP`s display water. As a general rule, high carnauba content waxes display beads as shown in the above picture. The water drops have a very round appearance, and stand up from the paint to a higher degree; they are quite tall. Some sealants don`t bead at all. They sheet water off of the paint. Other sealants bead, but tend to have bigger, flatter drops than nubas do. Water also sheds more easily from waxes than sealants. Using the "dry it with a hose" method works better with nuba LSP`s.

Looks good! Although I would never pay that much for some sealant.
