Rained on my ZR
Saw the overhead shot of Jim's car in Orlando, and I remembered I took a coup,e of shots of my BR ZR after it had rained in SW Michigan. Had waxed the car the day before and thought this looked pretty neat. I think the pattern on the roof is interesting.

Remember Classic Car Wax. People are "rediscovering" carnuba wax and working it into the paint.

Nothing like a dusty mile of crushed limestone "gravel" road to super accelerate the aging process on car waxes. No thanks. I'll stick with polymers. These were taken 4 and 5 seasons removed from the one and only claybar/all afternoon polish regime to initially apply the stuff. After that, wash, blow dry, and spritz on a glaze.   Now, before calling me a WAXER, mind ya I do like a nice shine. The difference is, I DON'T like high maintenance shine, and every friggin carnuba I tried is (compared to polymer) HIGH maintenance! Just sayin!

Re: Rained on my ZR
Paul,
Car already had clay bar and Zaino on it. This was a soft or liquid carnauba I put on. Roads are paved here in NW Chicagoland.
