Sorry but the pictures above aren't a good example of beading!

Nothing wrong with mine.... (unless you didn't mean me)

 

[Yellow Dave]

Should be fairly obvious which I was referring to, yours not one of them.

 

[Dan...]

Flol.

 

[Scrooge]

It comes to something when you start getting paranoid about your beading on a forum lol

 

[gex23]

^ There's a difference between paranoia and clarification.

 

[Scrooge]

It's fairly obvious yours is good beading.

[Yellow Dave]

Pns does give great water behaviour, and it seems to last very well too. Don't think there'll be much trouble in it achieving its claimed 6months durability

Not your typical beading shot - Gtechniq i1 on the hood of the Z4 :

My first go with my new Das6 pro. After some nighttime rain, I woke up to this.

Finished with 1 layer of just basic Mer finishing wax... will finish the bottle before buying more wax.

I'm new to this beading business, what do I use to get the best results, starting with a bit of a blank canvas so to speak? Without paying the earth of course...

Depends how far you want to go tbh mate, a simple coat of wax will make the paint bead quite well but you could polish it for better and longer lasting results.

Something like autoglym hd wax from halfords will do and will last ages, or there is a liquid spray on sealant like gtechniq c2v3 which is very easy to apply after a wash.

There's a huge range of products out there its best to do some research on it if you have the time.

A friend of mines products mate OCDfinish.co.uk is his website. Products are fantastic and prices are pretty much unbeatable! Brilliant at detailing too.
