Progress on the SB Honda

[ZRX61]

The car has been parked outside for the past two weeks, it's dusty & unwashed. Tomorrow we're supposed to get a ####-ton of rain. Curious to see what happens to the paint on the car.
Pics from this morning, before the rain started. I drove it yesterday so some of the dust was removed.

StormWatch '21!!!

It tried to rain all morning, we got some light drizzle, then it actually rained for maybe a minute & now the sun is shining again... (TBF, places further North got 10in of rain since yesterday)

Yay! I have beading!!

Dried it off earlier, looked like some of the shine on the hood washed right off. I shall investigate tomorrow

Well this happened today. No idea how, it didn't rain on the front 3ft of the car & I didn't park near any sprinklers today. Only possible explanation is careless neighbor with a hose.
Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning...

That was more involved that I thought it would be. It took wash, clay, compound, polish, 2nd polish & finally wax to get it back... & it still looks like fried ass in the pic

Was taking care of some road debris damage on the '20 Explorer ST today with my spiffy new G8 which it did in spectacular fashion....

& then I did something stupid. I tried it on about 1sqft of the right quarter panel of the SB Honda... Now I'll need to do the rest of the car to match that one spot... It's been a bit neglected lately.
