Very well indeed fella :) To be honest, it'll work on any colour, but is particularly suited to dark colours 8-)

I think I didn't apply the wax properly on the Type-S :? :( There wasn't any beading like you after a little drizzle.

Mine has dirty water marks (rain drops). :evil: :(

It was Merguairs NXT tech wax 2.0. I had used this before in then past with very good results and beading but this time there wasn't any. Maybe I messed up on the claying ? :(

TBH if you put the wax on after claying, it shouldn't have affected it. Perhaps it needed a bit more of a buff, or if memory serves, being a liquid wax, a damned good shake after gently warming to redistribute the ingredients better.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I have buffed it properly and it was a bit drizzling (only a little) so maybe the wax got wet. :(

I am planning on using the Megauir's Microfibre correction system soon. 8-) I will do it one panel at a time. :oops:

The Megs Microfibre system has an awful lot of cut, careful on the paintwork fella :)
