Couldn`t make it out as I was extremely ill. Looks like it was a good meet.

Updates on the durability test:



Week 1:



First is Bryan`s homemade wax:

The car was attacked on one night with bird poop on certain sections. So it seems to have survived the night. Some pretty tough wax.



I used a waterless solution and microfiber towels to get rid of it as soon as possible and later in the day I went for a coin wash with just water and soap to avoid compromising the test.



Next up is Riccardo Wax V2:

Ok, just a picture from week 1.



I took this pictures from my cell phone after some rain during the first week.



Note: I washed the car at a coin wash with just water and soap.

Week 2:

All look pretty good still.

I`ll try to grab more pictures and including how much dust it could attract. However during the first two weeks, I did not see much dust attracted to it.

Will keep capturing some pictures. Let me know if there are any specific shots needed.



P.S. I hope to figure out how to just embed the pictures instead of using attachments but at least the whole picture can be seen.

Hi All,



A bit late on week 3.



Here is what the beading looks like on week 3.



Week 4 did not have much rain...so will capture pics when I can.





First is Bryan`s homemade wax which seems to be weakening in beading but still there.

Also, posting a picture of how dust and dirt accumulated.

Next is Riccardo Wax V2 which is still going strong with some good beading.

Again, another picture of the dusting and dirt accumulation.

Enjoy.

Looks like the home made one is pretty much finished. I give the Riccardo another 2 weeks tops.

Hi All,



Sorry for the delay.

Week 4 did not have rain and the car was in okay condition so no pics..



So here is the beading on week 5.



First is Riccardo Wax v2.

As Kaval said, it looks like its starting to fail.





Next is the homemade wax which is not doing well.



Do you guys think its done or it still has life?

My apologies for lack of updates, trying to get over ankle injuries and lack of rain so have not had a chance to check the beading



Suffering from withdrawal of not detailing these few weeks

[corrswitch]

Hi All,



Again, my apologies for the lack of updates.

Ankle is feeling better. Not enough to wash the car but could take it out and take some pictures.



We`ve had some rain the past few days but before that, no rain at all.



Anyways, I`ve attached a few recent pictures from my blackberry.



The beading is died down quite a bit but it is still beading but much less than before. Not sure if it is compromised by a dirty surface since I have not had a chance to wash the car (a severe case of OCD withdrawal...)



There is still beading in some areas.



Gloss is still there but the slickness has died down a bit as well.



Will keep taking pictures and hopefully get a wash as well.



Overall, we`re almost at the 3 month mark for durability.
