OK, these threads always need photos. It has been raining overnight & here you can see some shots of the beading. I included shots of the side of the 6 Series too for comparison purposes. The 6 was washed the same amount of times & treated 3 washes ago with Dodo Juice Red Mist (I love this stuff!). I did drive the 6 last night from Cork to Killarney & the weather was wet on the way back so the car may have a layer of dirt lessening the beading effect. The Dodo Juice Red Mist is easy to apply but does require a bit of buffing. The HydrO2 is ridiculously easy to do though, just mist it on & rinse off a section at a time. Reminder that the e36 is the one treated with HydrO2 3 washes ago.

Also note that I use the "Dry Me Crazy" microfibre drying towel (my second one) that I picked up from DetailingShed. Note, you don't dry the car before or immediately after applying HydrO2.
