DAMN that Chemical Guys Citrus Wash is some STRONG stuff
CGCW is some heavily concentrated stuff, I know it says it on the bottle too...but damn!

I used a 2Gallon bucket with less than the cap full to wash my CL and after the first rinse I noticed almost no beading. I had pretty heavy beading before from a previous coat of UPP, but it stripped the surface of almost all my sealant. I was just planning on a quick wash/dry and QD but that's not happening.

Oh well, on to the UPP now...which is never a bad thing....

beading is not an indication of protection......

even a newly polished panel with no wax or sealant will bead.

And if you rinse with an open hose, there's little beading.
