beevly,

Well, I can't really say I'm very knowledged in the science and formula's of waxes or as I would call them "protectants". But when I spoke to Mike he stated that beading is not necessarily formulated into a wax/protectant but it can be. He went further to say that in the past they have reformulated their waxes to create the beading of paint however this doesn't necessarily change the amount or length of protection.

My thoughts are that beading isn't a great thing to have on car paint. Personally I would rather have a slick surface that promotes the water to coalesce and run off the car and not create tiny droplets.

I'll try and get Mike to reply to your question in more detail. I wonder if maybe we can get other manufacturers to maybe respond as well so that have several points of view.
