Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant Water Beading and Future Car Detail..

Hey guys,
I just thought I would throw up a few pictures of BFWD water beading affects after 2 months on a car that sits outside 100% of the time. No cover or anything of the sort. This is my fathers car and it is a chevy cruze. I'm sorry that I will have to post up one picture at a time since I am on my phone.


The last picture I will post up is of my brothers new Hummer H3. He bought it from my uncle and it is in very rough shape. It is not adequately depicted in the picture, but it is extremely dirty and has never seen a touch of wax and barely ever washed. It was simply a weekend off-road warrior. The interior is covered in red clay dust, with red clay in the floor matts. The leather seats are dry but have skin oil on them. I will be posting many before and after pictures with details as to what I did and the products I use! This will be coming in the next week! Hope you guys and gals enjoy.

Looks like it's need of another coat. The beads aren't uniform at all.

Well I did neglect to mention that this was after a very heavy downpour. This wasn't a hose lightly misting it or anything.

Car was also probably pretty soiled after the rain. That affects beading as well.
