Big Wax Test - Beading & Sheeting - HAVE YOUR SAY!

[Dave KG]

Okay folks, the looks results really are down to what people who were there on the day and saw the cars in the flesh thought as you cannot really capture any differences (arguably there weren't any!) in a picture... However, beading and sheeting you can so its here I would like people to vote and have their say on what they prefer!!

Now, a note to those who attended the wax test, the beading and sheeting videos which follow are different to the ones you saw on the day, as a dirty microfibre towel used on a couple of the cars was traced to leaving smearing on the bonnet just before the water tests, which will have adversely affected the water test results (but not the looks results, as the cars were wiped down in prep for the water test). So I have redone all of the videos again after giving the bonnets a wipe down with deionised water and a clean microfibre towel, which cured the beading and sheeting nicely For fun, a fourth layer of each LSP was added before this water test as well.

On viewing the videos and pictures below, please can you indicate which you prefer in order... try to avoid bias here please folks, have your say and judge fairly

The difference is so small, I can't really say an order as I just cannot see enough in it.

[Gaz W]

IMO Collinite 915 had the best sheeting action, the video showing its characteristic super quick sheeting action.

Whoever filmed these videos didn't do a bad job either

[ads2k]

Great to see you uploaded the sheeting vid's

For the money the 915 is extremely impressive with I think the fastest run off, not quite the best beading shots but not far off.

Thanks again Dave and crew for the stellar work you all put into this event and look forward to the next one Dave (can we have silver cars next time please.... )

I feel that Collinite sales are going to go up

[Trist]

I would say Collinite. In fact I've just ordered some from Elite with microfibre cloths and applicators thrown in because of this test, cheers Dave you've cost me money
