    As to the OP:
    Took a couple of pics of our rides out in the rain. My wife had just returned from Berwyn where apparently it is snowing like crazy. BeadMaker is doing its thing:

    Naw. I have to help a shop near me that sold a cermaic coating and don't know how to do anything and also under quoted the whole job. I'm really not looking forward to it but trying to get them out of a jam.

    Rinseless washed my car, yet again. The onslaught of pollen is insufferable this year.

    I’m thinking I need to just give it a break until it chills out, because I took the time to clay the horizontal surfaces a few days ago and they’re already collecting contaminants again. Definitely not worth the stress when I can just wait the pollen out, lol.

    How can you tell your paint is collecting contaminants? What’s your current lsp?

    After cleaning and drying it I sprayed it down with some ONR on the horizontal panels and just ran my hand across the panel while it was wet.

    It didn’t feel as bad as before I clayed the hood/roof, but it’s definitely not smooth as glass like it was after I clayed.

    I had polished my hood recently (last couple days) and applied megs HCW on it, and the rest of the car has some mix of botched cquk 3.0, and various spray waxes on top. After I clayed I just sprayed it down with d156 for the time being thinking that would be substantial enough to stop the pollen from bonding.

    Only reason I even noticed and checked to see if it was doin alright was the incredibly lazy beading I was seeing yesterday during the rain on the horizontal panels.

    Vertical panels were killing it, though. So there’s that What did you do today, in regards to detailing?.

    I'm working on cleaning out my detailing van. It has taken a beating and needs some attention.
