M21 Proof of Water Beading

[OctaneGuy]

It's been almost 4 weeks since I last washed my car and when I applied M21. I do maintain with NXT Speed Detailer, although lately this has only been once every few days. My MINI is garaged. I hit it with a pressure washer and within seconds the water beaded up like this.

Click the link below to see a Flash Animated version of the same thing. Note it's not realtime, as these were still pictures put together in slide show format. But the time it took was within seconds. It happened faster than I could hit it with water, then grab a camera and fire off pix!














WATER BEADING ANIMATION

Like the animation! Very nice!

Umm...why do you need to "prove" anything...4 weeks garaged doesn't seem like an extreme test. I would hope almost any product would last 4 weeks garaged in a SoCal winter...

Nice pix Richard!

I have found that M21 lasts pretty long. I have M21 on the vette and am really pleased with it's durability.

True it doesn't prove a thing except that M21 is still on my car. But it's a daily driver, and with the NXT durability thread of people stating it only lasts 1 day, I thought I'd take some photos of the next time I washed my MINI, and showed that M21 is still there doing it's job.

But on the other hand, I never claimed it was an extreme test, or anything about durability, now did I?

As for a SoCal winter, what's that?
Ok the coldest we've had is 47 to 50 degrees, and we've had some rain, but not much.

As for the animation--thanks guys! Its more convincing see the photos in motion than just looking at the still pix.

On a real word car (mine) out side every day and Metallic Black...When I used/tried my NXT (spray) over M21 within a few short days it killed both the water beading and also lost the super slick feel M21 has. Actually it was like when I 1'st tried my NXT paste...after afew short days or one good down pour the surface seemed like there was nothing on it at all, or very little of anything.
