Will do!

It rained on my beautiful car while I was at work.

After using the compound to buff the paint, I had noted that the water did not bead up on it at all. This was rather disappointing. I figured it would be smooth as all heck, and the water wouldn't have much of anything to stick to. Apparently that was hopeful thinking.

However, she is well and truly waxed now. So when I came out of work, this is what I found:



It beads up and rolls off (given an excuse), just like it does on the Rain-X'd windows.

Hopefully that means she'll stay cleaner, longer. (The matte black lower half will help disguise it on the lower half, at least.)

Oh, yeah. She ran good still on the way to work, and again in the cold and wet on the way home.
