Which wax sheets water instead of beading it? I know the S100, Pinnacle Signature Series II, and #845 bead. I want something that sheets.

 

all good waxes will sheet off water. its just a matter of how much water there is, and how it's hitting the surface. everytime i wash a waxed car, after the final rinse i sheet off the water to make drying 100x faster.

 

Sorry, but I don't think you're somewhat mistaken. Most nuba's will bead whether you spray or pour on the water. Granted, if you mist on the water it will bead but eventually sheet off with the right wax.

Beading is when the water just sits in place:





This is sheeting, when the water runs off and it's perfectly dry:





A $8500.00 wax will do this, sheet, not bead.

At 4:45 you will see Paul's wax do a lot of sheeting:

And if you want to dry 100x faster, try the leaf blower, your neighbors will think you're crazy but you'll love it.

 

once it's spring and i get to more detailing, i'll post up some pics of regular old nuba sheeting off water leaving the paint nearly dry, if u want i'll even take a vid. it's all in the angle/amount of water.

 

What are you using?

 

Sorry man, just a hose trick. You can get just about any wax to sheet or bead

 

But I've noticed that Collinite 476S tends to shed water better than anything else I've used so far

 

water is polar, two hydrogen's attached to one oxygen, hydrogen bonds are one of the strongest bonds so if you have a gripload of h2o, they wanna stick together.

its not because of the wax. It will sheet with wax, if there's no wax, it will sheet, but not as well.

 

also, its liquid form...liquids don't really have a shape. so if you put in any container, it'll mold/form to that shape

also, I spot beading in that video. Like what ubetit said, its water technique, not wax

if you were to mist that same car with water, it will bead, not sheet
