You are entirely incorrect.

Pete, your side has more beading, no doubt about it, but are you telling me theres something wrong with water "Rasheed-ing" off
Yes. Common accepted principle amongst detailers. You want small, tight beads.

I don't do this per say, but alot of people are of the belief that taking off the nozel and letting the water wash away the soap so it "Rasheeds" off is a good thing 
- You are comparing apples to oranges. Jim's first pictures are on an unwashed surface to test for presence of wax - it has nothing to do with washing or soap. He tested on an unwashed surface so the test would not contaminated by the chemicals in the car wash soap.
- Jim conducted the test correctly by spraying the water up and letting it falls onto the car. This simulates rain.
- As I stated before, the after wash shots are not indicative of how much (if any wax) is left. (See previous posts).

Its all a matter of opinion for some people Pete and look at it like this, its raining out and then the sun comes out, do you want all that beading or the water to "Rasheed" off  , thus leaving little or NO chance of water spots!

Sheeting off? Look at the bumper on the carnauba side. It's a vertical surface and yet the water is jsut sitting there. There is no wax.
- Simple test -
Spray water onto a freshly waxed surface. What does it do? It beads.
Spray water onto an old, unwaxed surface such as my 95 Mystique which has never seen wax and what happens? The water pools / sits on the surface / sheets off. Just like the carnauba side in the picture above.
- Compare the roof to the hood and rear bumper. Why is the roof still beading and the hood and rear bumper not beading anymore? Shouldn't they be the same? It's because the carnauba is gone on the hood and bumper via evaopration, washing, heat, etc.
- In comparison from what I can tell from the pictures, the synthetic side is consistent throughout every surface.
Sorry Roger, but you're reaching and coming up with excuses for carnauba to be something it is not. For durability, carnauba can't touch synthetic - period.
