WILL A COATING ALWAYS
BEAD AS DAY ONE?

No. Beading is spectacular, although it's the secondary quality of a ceramic coating. Fact: a coating might be even more self-cleaning being hydrophilic than hydrophobic. The hydrophobicity is a result of very high surface tension a coating generates. It will diminish with time due to contamination, but has no connection with the level of protection. To restore hydrophobicity, contact your detailer or have a look at the mainTENance guide on our website.
