Sorry man, just a hose trick. You can get just about any wax to sheet or bead
Not only that, but most of the time, the sheeting isn't from the wax, it's from the prep work. If you level a paint really well with wool/compound+foam/compound+foam/polish+finish pad/finish polish without ANY wax, it'll sheet amazingly well. The wax is just to add protection/optics to the paint. It's all about the prep work.

Not to mention this is exactly how I "dry" my car. This is the sheeting or "waterfall" method.

Yep! Me too! And then just blot the left over "big" beads with a WW MF .

It's funny to tell customers that I dry the cars with the hose
