Halfway through having a 'polish' and it rains!!

[ant_v6]

Some one on here is bound to know the answer to this; washed the car this morning, dry it off and park it in the shade to apply Meguirer's Polish. Goes on and off no problem. Then I apply the Carnuba wax. Just as I get the last bit on the car (so it is totally covered in the stuff) the rain starts! And not just a shower – thunder, lightening, the works.

So what now, Yanni? Do I have to start again from scratch? Can I just wait for the car to dry and rub the wax off? Or do I need to rub it off and rewax it?

That Carnuba polish smells nice. I even ate some

Re-wax after a wash.

Have I read it right that you have not wiped the wax off and its rained on the car? - Will be a pain to get it off now! Rewash and re-wax when the rain stops.

 

[ant_v6]

Aye. Wax is on the car and not rubbed off before the rain
If I get it off, would it be OK just to apply another coat? Surely these products are water based anyway?

Re-wash, wipe what is left on off, most will come off in the wash process, and re wax.

Think you'll find most waxes are wax based i.e. water resistant.

Smart arse
Hey, I've been down and rubbed it off. Looks fantastic. Had no problems getting it to come off.

Thanks everyone.
