Two months old Collinite 845 after some showers. The car hadn`t been washed in a couple of weeks, so the contamination reduced the beading somewhat.
5 1/2 month Optimum Gloss Coat that has been maintained with ONR. Taken during a light rain shower.

Beads are tough to come by this time of year, but I thought this ice shot was interesting. I think there is next to no LSP on this car, its my brothers and it was on the island all summer just got back here. Needs some Hydro2 for the winter.

Here are some more of Gloss Coat beading after a small rain storm passed through last night. These little storms are annoying lol. Not used to it in So Cal. It was washed 3 days before with ONR. Gloss Coat be 6 months old in 6 days with another small rain storm scheduled for Sunday into Monday. I have to say that I am impressed with the performance of gloss coat.

This is opti-seal that is on my car. I put it on a day before this small rain storm passed through. From my experience opti-seal is better at sheeting versus beading. Beading looks ok. Nothing overwhelming. Reminds me of Meguiar`s Paint Protect 365. I`m just spoiled by gloss coat at this point.

Guz, that`s pretty much what happened with my car last weekend. We had several hours of rain that consisted mostly of fine misting, which accumulated and pooled into large blobs. On the crown of the roof there wasn`t enough of a slope for the water to run off and the blobs got to about two inches in size -- some of yours look even bigger.
I`m proud to see my pic on the Autopia Facebook site regarding a link to this thread.

Gotta love FK1000p x2. Probably 3 months old at this point, with a topper of Megs UQW maybe a week before this pic.
