Typical

I spent what seemed like all day yesterday washing, clay barring and polishing the BMW (it took from 12 noon until 6pm including a stop for lunch) and just as I was buffing the last of the polish off it started raining.

I was so looking forward to taking some photos of the shiney shiney but it looks like it'll have to wait until I polish it again - probably in about 3 years time.

You could always wash and dry it and then follow up with one of these which will restore that just waxed look:

Zaino is expensive and there are stock delivery problems but it is good.

But doesn't it like nice the first time the rain beads up on a newly waxed car?  It's just about bearable!

Yeah it looked nice with the rain beading off.

I took it to get the tracking done yesterday and realised I hadn't really done anything with the windows except a basic wash so they're streaky and from the inside there's no sign of that 5 hours hard work
