Generally you should wash it every 2 weeks under those conditions and reapply the SiO2 every month. It's just car "wax" with hype not a miracle product.

Thanks for the reply!
Didn’t think it was a miracle coating but couple of things I should have been more clear about I guess (& maybe #2 is totally unrelated, I don’t know) -
1 - a couple of my cars sit out there all the time, and have never felt that awful when I’ve washed them, sometimes as much as 6 months since last wash (older pickup). It honestly does need to be clay barred again already.
2 - 2 months and no beading? Every wax I’ve ever used has lasted much longer. Do SiO2 sprays not last as long as “normal” waxes? Honest question as maybe I should go back to mequiars stuff.
