    Wolfgang - no beading nor sheeting?

    Hi,

    Has anyone else here noticed WG not bead at all? Initially it looks pretty good but I see no beading or sheeting at all. Water just collects on the surface of the car. There is a thread on Autopia where others noticed this too. I`m seeing this on my two cars that I applied this on. The process I used was wash with Gold Class shampoo, Pinnacle polyclay, 1Z MP, WG cleaner, then the sealant for both cars. Just wondering if there was a bad batch of these as someone had mentioned.

    I was hoping that my fist few posts on here would be a positive one.

    Thanks!

    i noticed the same thing you have. i also just started raining every afternoon in FL and i am not liking the lack of sheeting or beading because the water sits there and dries into bad looking water spots. ill probably switch to something that beads or sheets for this horrible rain season. (i have some upp and nattys that needs testing)

    I got solid beading for the six weeks I had WG on my car. It suffered from snow, salt rain and sun in that timeframe too.

    My wolfgang is also beading after 4 weeks. Gold class is designed to sheet water to speed up the drying process.

    I just applied my Wolfgang this past weekend and it rained the other day and it beaded like crazy. I was pretty impressed.

    For those that are still seeing beading, would you mind taking pictures? I will probably start over this weekend, but this time I`ll try to do 2 coats of the sealant.

    From what I hear WG has to cure for several hours. If it rains on it before it cures it wont last as long.
