Harry,
I am don't know the actual physics behind the process of water beading,
it has some thing to do with surface tension of the water, and how the
car finish holds onto the water molecules determining the size of the
water droplets. The less surface tension on the car finish, the less it
will holds onto the water molecules and thus, the larger the water
droplets will be before their molecules pull apart. If the car finish
is pitted the surface tension of the car finish will be so strong it
will not allow the water to bead at all or the beads will be smaller.

Now I am going to ask you to either contribute to the discussion or butt
out of the discussion. It makes you look silly to comment on subjects
that are not familiar with. I don't want to have to ask you again.

My contribution: if you are going to rewrite something you find on
wikipedia, Reggie, try to do a better job of it, and if you make it back
here in another life, pay attention when your high school physics
teacher discusses hydrophobic interaction.

Have a nice day. Or not.

I asked you not to respond if you can not contribute something to the

Hydrophobic interaction.

Got it?

Those that are familiar with cleaning optics or glass know that an
indication that the surface is truly clean is that the water sheets, rather
than beads.

I don't believe I've spent two seconds of my life worrying about the
size of the water beads on my cars.

Sometimes the beads are larger than they are at other times.

Didn't I ask you to stop responding to my posts?

I don't either on my daily driver or the boat. I am careful though on the
GTO and the Porsche, making sure they are dry after washing.

I also make sure my cars are dry after I wash them.

Funny thing...I have a cover for my new Parker. I wash out the boat
after using it and when it dries off, I put the cover on. Guy at the
boatyard says to me, why are you covering your boat? Gave me the
opportunity to say, "To keep the water off it."

I guess I could have said, "To keep the dirt and UV off it," but...nah.

Eisboch,
As I said, I am my knowledge of physics is poor at best. I am curios
why a car's finish that is as smooth as glass beads and a car that has
not been washed or waxed in years the water always sheets.

I am not familiar with any wax or polish that does not bead while just
applied and starts to sheet as the surfaced is pitted. Is there one you
find to be better than others?
