I gave the stang one coat of cleaner wax, two coats of sealer/glaze, and one coat of finishing wax on Sunday the 16th. I painted the calipers and the car looked immaculate. Well it poured down rain today, all day, real heavy, and is supposed to for the next few days. Any expert paint guys know what to do? I was planning on just waiting til it stopped raining, then applying another finishing coat and hoping it wil harden nicely. A little rain is fine for wax to make it set, but a lot is no good. The water still beads, but some areas of the body are beginning to sheet with the amount of rain. What to do?

 

in all actuality...sheeting is better for the paint anyway.</P>


When water beads it collects dirt and dust, when the water dries, the dirt/dust is still there, and if left alone it'll start to eat into the paint. Sheeting is the way to go.</P>


I wouldn't worry about it. wait for a dry day and do it all over agian. wax on wax off. </P>

 

Dust and dirt doesn't eat into the paint. </P>

 

it's when it's all beaded and the sun dries it into the paint...just use a clay bar to smooth out everything

Believe what you want. dirt when rubbed into the paint will eat it away, exposing the metal which makes it start to rust, which then chips more paint, which then exposes more metal, which then rusts more. Keep your car dirty, I'm not going to be the one out there grinding the rust off...soI don't care. </P>

 

Yeah, when dirt is rubbing into the paint, that's when you have issues. That's not how you explained it in the first place, pinky.

 

No worries anyone, I gave it another coat of wax tonight and she's sittin pretty, supposed to be 75 tomorrow in the middle of november, whoa.
