Showing off some beading from a recent polish
Polished using a Harbor Freight DA with an Astro Pneumatic 5" backing plate and lack Country pads. Products were Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. Topped with 3 coats of Klasse High Glosse Sealant Glaze and finished with a quick wipe down of a "Franken Turtle" quick detailer I made.
Franken Turtle Mixture: 2 oz Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze 32 oz Turtle Wax Rinseless Car Wash 94 oz water Photo taken using a Samsung Galaxy S3 without any filters, SLR, or other nonsense. Took forever to focus on such small beads, but this photo came out great.

They definitely were. Ive never had any car of mine do that from a morning dew - usually dew beads are much larger. Im shocked by the results i got. they are between 0.25 - 0.5 mm diameter

Do yourself a favor and ditch the harbor freight DA. For the money, the griots polisher is a lot of bang for your buck. Treat yourself to a badass tool and you'll be thankful next car you do |

My griots 6" RO died two days ago whilst polishing my MR2...
Now I have to drive to the flagship store and swap it out for a new one.
