    Default Beading

    Been a while since I did any detailing, it's just been too cold and miserable over winter. Anyhow, just wanted to check...is it good when the water does this?



    ETA: Just realised it doesn't actually look that impressive in the picture but it was. Really. Honest. It was.....

    Actually, not wax! Had them off to give them (and the arches) a proper clean, and quickly gave them a coat of AG EGP, hoping it would make them easier to clean.

    I'm waiting for Auto-Brite to get the Chemical Guys wheels stuff in stock, but the EGP looks OK for now

    They do look good , But as Harry said not often you see good beading on wheels the wax does not last too long due to the heat and harsh conditions.

    Yeah, I know But after I'd spent so long getting them clean I wanted to put something on to help them stay like that. I'm waiting for the Chemical Guys wheel stuff - anyone used it or got any comments?

    Poorboys WS is great stuff.

    I did a friend of a friends car a few months and I bumped into him on Monday and he said "whatever you did to the alooys worked, the brake dust comes off very easily".
