Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.



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.
