How long since it was applied? And how many coats did you use, as that doesn't look all that, err.... beady?

What you wash it with can affect the beading, however the Finis was developed to be well resistant to detergents....

This is FK1000P after a few months and not washed for 2 weeks! You can see dirt particles trying to sit on the surface.

FK1000P is good stuff and really does add to silver paint to my eye anyway...

Here is some Bilt Hamber...

The left hand side is just the Micro Fine nothing else over it..:thumb:

The Right has Finis Wax over the top of the Micro Fine Just One Coat.:thumb:

I moved on to Wolf Chemicals Nano Body Wrap in September (the FK1000P image was from about July). I applied it on the 4th of Sept after lightly compounding the paint to remove everything else and have only washed the car since, nothing more, but the beading is still intense. Ill post a pic when it rains next!
