I've waxed the car and can see the water beading and all on the bonnet but they just don't seem to fly away? Is it just the aerodynamics of the bonnet design maybe

One more question - what's the difference b/w a sealant and wax. Is sealant just an umbrella term for something you apply to your car after washing which includes wax or are they 2 separate things all together?
Driving your car around the block after washing it to remove most of the water ..... that makes a lot of sense as you will pick up dust particles & some road grime. you then chamois the car so this practice will add significantly to swirl marks & other paint imperfections.

Think of a good sealant as giving you a better longer lasting finish than a wax if done correctly
