The start of the year was pretty cold at times.

Point taken.

Not a recent photo, I presume?

Hi,

Is there a way to keep the a car nice and avoid these beads? I only ask because the drive is under a large tree that chucks off copious amounts of pollen so in the the summer time at least these beads collect the dust and leaves me with a yellow spotted car after it's dried...

[bolidemichael]

Usually, once the bodywork is protected, a maintenance wash should be finished by removing the power wash and just 'sheeting' the water with a free-running hose. Combined with a 0ppm filter, it should leave minimal beads and these can be blown away with a pet-dryer.

You can’t do much about it when it rains though and then brightens up.
My car although well protected seems to be the last one on the street to fully dry when the big yellow thing in the sky comes out.

Well, I won a competition for Auto Finesse to come detail my car.. useful day learned a lot from the pro detailers, but this is the beading result…. such tiny little beads!



And one from their Instagram…

I look around the car park in work on a wet day and see nice cars totally neglected, obviously never been polished or waxed with flat wet paint work, and then my 8 year old Landrover which is probably waxed twice a month with beads of water running off it.

Freshy detailed i3

Can anybody recommend a really good quality spray wax for the car or should I be using a Carnauba Wax type product?
Thanks in advance.

Sadly I'm in the exact same situation. Annoyingly it can't be avoided, simple as that. Pollen will always settle on a car and theres nothing we can do to stop it. Just need to rinse it off regularly. Wish I had a better answer, but thats what it is I'm afraid.

Pleasantly surprised when I saw this after the overnight rain, less impressed by the swirl marks though

The beads aren't amazing but for a 17 year old car which I bought privately and collected a couple of days ago and I haven't done anything to it yet (not that I am in anyway a weekend warrior) I thought it looked decent. At least shows the last owner cared somewhat.

A 3rd from me, I apply with a wash mitt soaked in a 50/50 mix of wet coat and water to really ensure full coverage and use it on body, glass, wheels etc.
