Ok I am going to put these 3 to the test.
As you can see in the pic on the left is BlackIce middle is Glasur and right is Mayhem.
I prepped the hood by claying it with a nanoskin fine grade, Then with HD Polish and green buff n shine then DP coating prep polish with a black buff n shine.
There was no cross contamination with applicator pad and each section was buffed with a new clean side of MF so no cross contamination with towel either.
I am going to let it sit overnight then tomorrow going to test its Beading and sheeting properties between the 3 then monitor them weekly to see the durability.
 
also curious to see how the waxes compare to Hydro2..I have that currently on the rest of the wifes car. Her car is always my test mule

Looks like Glasur wins this like i was expecting. They are all pretty equal in beading.
When comes to sheeting
1st Glasur
2nd blackICE
3rd Mayhem
Blackice looks like it comes close to sheeting but the way glasur sheets the water its like its being forced off teh paint it goes so fast. Blackice still shows the typical sheeting but cant compare on how Glasur just forces water off its surface. Mayhem comes in a distant 3rd it looks like but still impressive sheeting ability for a $35wax
 
1week update.
So here is after 1 week. this week we had about 3 days that was monsoon style rain and its been pretty hot. The car sits outside 24/7 as well.
Gave the hood a quick wash off and dry before I started

1 Week Update of BlackIce,Glasur,Mayhem wax - YouTube
 
Ok so a little update about this. I am confused by whats going on with her car. it seems NOTHING works very good on it. I have Mayhem on my WRX..Its been little over a week since I waxed it..its my DD and been in a few of those rainstorms. I washed it today and its sheeting faster then Mayhem was sheeting off her car the day i applied it. Her paint seems like it just sucks LOL..no matter what polish I use its impossible to remove and it seems waxes dont behave the same. My car is the SAME year and same color but it is a little bit more forgiving on polish removal and washing it today shows that Mayhem actually works better on mine. I am at a loss about that. I dont know if I should retest on my car to see if I get different results.
 
^^^I run into the same issues on my vehicles. My wife and I both have 2012 black Toyotas. My paint is a PITA to work with! Hers is a piece of cake. Now granted mine is black single stage and hers is bc/cc but there is a significant difference between the hardness, slickness and the factors you mention. Go figure......
 
ok so we are a little over 3weeks now. It looks like all 3 waxes are coming of end of life. The beading seems to be giving way and the sheeting is close to all 3. Blackice and mayhem I believe are sheeting off a tad faster due to the sides of the hood are steeper to help run the water off faster. I am not sure how well this test is overall because the paint on my wifes Subaru nothing seems to work as it should on it. Waxes die quick, polishes are impossible to remove. Maybe I will try this test again on a non Subaru paint system that doesnt suck
