Visual poll on durability?

I know when mine gets that look my drying time takes longer and the chamois/drying towel starts to stick and grab onto the finish. I would think it`s time to slick her up again.

Looking at the water drops and seeing that they are of various sizes and having random pattern. My guess would be if a picture was taken of a non-protected panel it would be close to the one shown as a example.

I`d tend to agree with the "fair" to "mostly gone" but it also depends on the LSP.

I generally think that cars that are non-protected have one big "water bead" covering a particular panel. Recently, after I had finished wifey`s ride, it rained and I was in a shopping mall parking lot examining different finishes. The cars that didn`t have any protection at all, let the water sit in one big blotch.

Id say its all gone, the sunroof is beading better than the actual paint.

Look around the pictured car and see the groung is dry even though the sky in the background looks like a storm. The spotting on the car most likely came from a hose and not mother nature. Look at a car after a down pour compared to a light sprinkle. There is a difference. Also a car that is filthy will spot different in a rain then a car regularly ran thru a car wash but has no wax protection. Look at a new car lot after a rain and see spotting on cars that have never been waxed but aren`t covered with too many contaminats yet vs a beater never taken care of.
