    Crystal seal

    I`ve been having this for a while and just put it on my truck last weekend. Just did a very light coat per directions after a rinse less wash. The shine was really amped but today it rained And I was completely disappointed by the beading. Looked like no protection there. What can be expected with this product and beading?

    how much dust/dirt settled on it?

    if any, it would need a wash to show beading etc

    with most sealants, i actually look for more sheeting action as opposed to beading.

    Beading is not the overhyped protection factor most make it out to be. Sheeting, like tropicsteve said, is far more important to me than beads of water baking in the sun once the rain quits. Did the water sheet off of the car?

    I am going to check the sheeting today after work. All I did was wash and used a med speedy prep towel while washing. Wiped with eraser and wiped on crystal seal. I just wanted to try it before I correct soon. It`s been a week and has normal weekly driving crud but I figured I would see better beading with this product. But I do like the look. Very clear/smooth look to the paint.
