I`ve heard it beads water at first but then sheets. Is this true? How long before it stops beading

IMO, it does what I captured on the little video I took, for 6+ months on a regularly washed car. sometimes it`s difficult to describe what effect you are seeing, if you haven`t downloaded the video. it does this for a long time, it shouldn`t be an issue, if you do it correctly, but don`t worry we`ll be here to help you :)

IMO, if you Klassed car sheets only without beading, then something is wrong with it since that is not the norm.

New & healthy paint/clearcoat beads like crazy with no protectant on it. Check out geekysteves computer case painted with automotive paint!!



My dad`s 1991 caddy sheets water with KLASSE. It beads for the first few washings and then sheets. I think SL can confirm this on an older car as well.

Beads for the first month, then sheets for me. But either is fine for me....as long as the shine is nice!

My expierence was much like DK`s. The car beaded for a few washings (couple weeks) then it sheeted.
