btw, the beading you see can also be effects of the existing wax or sealant (which I am sure you have on there at some point in the past, right?). The speedshine, though it has some wax/sealant properties also extends the life of the existing LSP.
Actually for cars that get QD'ed often you want beading as lubricity does not run off and maintains to be between the towel and surface. For dd's that are not QDed sheeting is preferred to prevent water stains...so I use prima Hydro on my G.
