I think I`ve got it now... purchase quality products from a reputable distributor who takes the time to work with the manufacturers and trust that the paint is protected. Reapply as indicated by the relative water beading (or for the sheer enjoyment) as necessary.
No doubt about it, I`d rather keep my paint beading like the example given on the right. Thanks for the info.
