:: How to know you've done a good wax job...

My last full intensive polish/wax was in June.
The last 'general' wax was end of August.
Last car wash was over five weeks ago.

If water beads like this after raining, and after so long, you know you've done something right :)

Sure, they're not perfect round droplets but it's pretty darn good. The windshield looks good as well. Rainex on all the windows last about five months before the beading starts to trail a bit.

No, that's called 'sealant' :)
