This is test #2 in the topic of beading vs. sheeting waxes & sealants.

The previous products were removed and the less hydrophobic Turtle Wax ICE Shine Lock Sealant (sheeting) was placed on the left side fender and hood (facing the car), and the more hydrophobic ICE Paste Wax (beading) was placed on the right side. Both products were applied two days prior to the observation being made.

The sprinkler system runs overnight closest to the left side of the paint and I come out to observe the extent of the hard water spotting.

For me, this is a real world test as this car isn't being garaged at the moment. So I'm addressing the assumption that sheeting products are going to save me from hard water spotting compared to more hydrophobic beading types. I think there are some situations where sheeting products can lead to less spotting, however I believe those perfect situations are less likely to occur and the overall extent of spotting between beading and sheeting products that I've tested are largely comparable to each other.

My rain water observations here in Florida where we have almost daily afternoon showers has close to no effect to form spotting when those rain beads are evaporated off of the paint. Rain is naturally soft so I'm largely focusing this test on hard water sources. I also noticed that even during heavy downpours, sheeting products like Shine Lock Sealant and Meguiar's Paint Protect largely form beads all over the paint, rather than sheeting the rain off clean. There's just not enough volume of water being forced on the paint panel at one time to cause a sheet of water to connect across the entire panel.
