Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

I've been reading a thread in Megs about sheeting vs beading...

Hydrophobic (sheeting) vs. Hydroscopic (beading)

share ko lang...


I have a question though, while beading does look cool, I'd really like a product that sheets... a lot of people say that OCW sheets water well... it does when using a hose with no nozzle...

Question is... is it possible for my car's surface to be so hydrophobic that it can actually let raindrops to slide off... Is there a powerful enough product out there that can sheet rain? or is that even possible?

I think what you need is a Force Field

Kidding aside, when you subject your car to elements, there is only so much you can do to prevent your car surface from being touched by dirt, road grime, brake dust, etc. Unless these elements are wash away simultaneously with rain water, only then you will have flawless hydrophobic effect.

I believe the closest thing to achieving this is to wax as often as possible. Just an opinion.
