In my opinion those beads are not indicative of having a good sealant on there, and defenitely not at 2 months time for the choices you have given us. I rule out poli-seal, Klasse and M-seal, and even though #7 is not a sealant, and is a glaze, which I doubt would stand alone at a week let alone 2 months, but anyway thats my guess.



My second choice would be Poli-seal, but either bad prep or application because I have seen it hold up for more than 2 months.
 
All paint will bead or sheet, which depends on the type of water pattern. Flooding, nozzle, heavy rain showers, pressure gun.



How I tell when a sealant is still there or gone is



Is the paint slick.

When more than the usual amount of contaminants are sticking to the paint ( I get very very little these days and whatever it is washes right off with warm shampoo)

When water is sitting on the paint like a puddle (about 4mm deep) and is not sheeting or beading at all.
