Who else has wash, wax and sealant there bimmer and....

The next day it starts raining? Lol I wanted to try my autoglym HD wax and meguiars 21 sealant combo turn out good until next day that it started raining for like a few hours and sunshine again
I guess on the pros I was able to see how cool the combo was in action making water slipped through my hood!

That always happens! It seems like the weather knows when you detail your car and purposely ruins your hard work. But it is always nice to see that water beads off the car!

I get this type of question from family and friends with some regularity. While I enjoy how go the car looks after I've worked on it, I know I'm doing just as much to protect the finish.

Same with me have a black car and it's hard to maintain! Honestly, it's an OK product it gives it a good shine to your finish, but lacks in durability I'm in the market of getting a new combo looking at blacklight from CG just looking for a sealant or wax to top it up

That even happens to me, and I live in Arizona -- the DESERT! The state should pay me to wash my car every day, maybe I'd take us out of a drought.

I spent 4 hours on washing, light polish, and new coat of wax and it started raining like 8 hours later. It's okay to me though as I really enjoy the time I spend detailing the car.
