This might sound stupid but I've noticed that my WOP civic always have water beads all over the hood/roof/trunk after the rain is over, even the next day when it's warm and sunny and every other cars are perfectly dry already. At first I thought it might be due to white cars absorb the heat less. However I noticed that those white Ford Fusion/CRV/Corolla or even older Civics were completely dry while my civic parking next to them were covered by water. I also checked other WOP civics in my neighborhood(there are a lot them) and they have water all over them as well...
Any thoughts? Also does wax matter since I never wax or detail my cars.

If it is a matter of not having time to spend on applying a wax or sealant on your car, then you should give this thread a look. Hydr02 is an amazing product and literally take a few minutes to apply after you wash your car and will last a few months.

Water beads like that cause of the wax currently on the car. If you want it to not bead up just take off all the wax on the car.

Give it a good clay and polish. Then seal it with Reload by Carpro or C2v3 by Gtechniq. Both are great products.
