What do you all do with your Beads!?
When i say "Beads" i mean "Beading"!
You spend all weekend/Sunday washing, polishing, waxing your Sax etc.. for it to go n piss down n rain thru the night so its all wet come Monday morning!
Yes the water has beaded... but, What do you do with your Beads?!
Leave them to run n dry off naturally? or dry them off yourself with a towel or shammy.. what r u supposed 2 do with em?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, i wasnt too sure

It will leave streaky shit on your car if there 3was some crud in with the rain, sometimes stuff gets caught in the wind and comes over here like sand or dirt. If that happens you just have to clean it again.

I spent all day washing, polishing and applying 2 coats of wax on sunday and when it rained overnight I took it for a quick blast and the rain just ran off.
Nowhere near as clean as it was but a lot better than if I had just left it to dry on the paint.
Also beats trying to towell it off as there may be contaminants in the rain water that can damage the paint if it's wiped off

i take a drying towel the next day, with a bucket of water to dampen it and bitch slap them off my paint. nothing pisses me off more than rain just after a clean.
