Beading with Sonax Protect and Shine NPT

So, few weeks back I invested some time on the 335. Here's what i did:

1. Snow foam (Billberry wheel cleaner on wheels)
2. Rinse
3. Wash with Meguiars Detailer Shampoo, rinse, then dry
4. Clay mitt with shampoo bucket for lubricant.
5. Rinse and dry
6. AG Super resin polish
7. AG high definision wax

Beading has been good. But last night tested the Sonax on half of the bonnet. This morning after some overnight rain, here are the results. Guess which half has been treated with Sonax NPT?

Thought you might like to see this result. Suffice to say I'll be applying the Sonax to the entire car at the weekend.

I love NPT. The xtreme version is more durable!

Can't beat sonax.

I tend to use it diluted after each wash as a drying aid. Find the towel soaks up better and seems to glide over the surface better plus it tops up the shine and bead
