    Newbie first detail. What a waste of time!

    So I spent countless hours studying post after posts and finally I had time to detail my own vehicle a 2011 328i black sapphire metallic BMW.
    So first a washed the car with dawn soap.
    Then Clayed with WG clay and clay lube
    finally I used WG polish enhancer on a crimson Hyd pad /port DA
    Then I attempted to apply WG sealant 3.0
    Problem was I that I would have my garage for at least 3 days but I didn't realize I couldn't leave it in garage when my other vehicles windows wouldn't go up and at was bout to pour. So I was forced to parked car outside in pouring rain when it was not even halfway done.
    So when I have the time what should I do know?
    I figured dawn once again and polish enhancer to strip off all sealant then start over again.
    Any other ideas? I was planning on buying cg black light and v7 combo

    My question is do u think the spots were the WG sealant was applied are ruined cause of the rain? Do u think just a dawn wash will strip the sealant?

    Is it a DD? How long was it outside?
    I would say either clean the car off and apply an LSP over the entire car, or clean/strip the car and apply the LSP over the entire car.
