#16 and the rain

Yesterday was the first really nice day in quite a while, so I worked on my car with the PC, 3mRC and MG, UPP, and #16 or S100. [I'm slowly tackling the more stubborn swirls, scratches and spots]



Then my wife showed up with the minivan that she'd just run through a car wash. I was tired so I grunted a bit, PC'd the whole thing with ColorX and then did a half-assed job with #16 as an LSP.



Today she was out all day and it rained. She came back and said how it was terrible that it had to rain after all my hard work.



I went to the garage to see what the damage was and to fix with a QD. We were both surprised. Just a few beads. The van was basically smooth, dry and clean. I smiled like a fool, and my wife averred how I wasn't crazy to wax it well yesterday!



:D :D :D
 
YEah, it rained today for the first time since about last summer, and my coat of 16 that i applied in october is still going strong. No sealant under it at all, just 16. Doesn't bead perfect, but its still there, and the poor car must live out side. Gotta love that stuff.
 
#16 is one of my favorite "heavy-duty" waxes. The beading is absolutely wonderful and reminds me of delicate pearls.
