Sun came out about 10am 8) so thought i'll start with a wash and dried the car. I then applied the polish and buffed off and it starts raining when i get to the end so go inside for coffe.Round 2 rain stops 8) so dried the car again applied the sealent and when i get to buffing off it starts raining again ~ as i get to the last panel so go inside for a cold one.Round 3 rain stops 8) so dried the car again and applied the wax started buffing off and guess what happens as i get to the last panel nothing , so do all the dressing get to the last wheel arch and it starts raining ~Gave up about 4:30pm and finished the rest of the pack of four Any way rant over had to get it off my chest Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah I was in and out all day like a yo-yo. Every time it rained I either tried to clean the leather or go inside for a break. But everytime I went iside I got the feeling I didn't want to go back out again ! So I tried to find inside things to do hehehe.Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah mate...had a similar day down in the south...was sunny all day and then when I was waxing it it kept threatening to spit rain but luckily (this time) it didn't. Downside is my car will prob get all nice and dirty on the drive up on the motorway! Damn dark colours!At least the winter is over... several times recently I had got round to buffing the car off and find I'm bloody rubbing ice back and forth on the roof!! Caused a nice scratch. Now I just give up in the winter! Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Had all the same problems as you guys. I had actually even cleaned it the day before as well, only for it to chuck it down that evening! So cleaned again yesterday, same thing happened. So i thought fuck it, i'll take the stuff with me, get there early and give it a good clean at the show.....but now, thanks to my lame-ass mates, I aint even there! :-( Link to post Share on other sites
