This was a follow up to my car claying post a while back. I had just finished detailing the car all of two days, claying etc. Then when I wanted to go for a drive this light rain started falling on the car.
Usually I would start cursing the heavens, but the rain beads really looked cool. See for yourself and tell me what you think. I simply had to wait for the roads to dry off and wipe the car dry again. The life of a car enthusiast slash detailer.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I think the picture upload size limits didn’t help give you a better look at it, sorry.

There are many steps in my detailing repertoire, but the best ingredients are essentially the Klasse series of polishes and sealants. So so easy to apply and needs very little. If you take the time to do it right it lasts for an insane long time. I do my car twice a year and it beads all winter long

This could be the coolest thread ever!
It takes a special person to appreciate water beading on a car enough to take, and post pictures! But what makes it even better, is the reaction from all the other special people! The ones that appreciate it just as much as Vassey50! Imagine what all those people out there that don't care (or even notice), are missing.
After polishing and sealing my car on Monday, I was feeling pretty good about how well it came out, as I was running some errands. It occurred to me how few people ever notice how great the car looks. I realized that it's the folks that DO notice, and appreciate the time, effort, and outcome that are the ones I want to notice. Mostly because we have that appreciation in common. These are the same "special people" that would talk about how cool it is to see rain beading up on a well cared for car!
You guys are GREAT!!! And, your ES looks awesome, Vassey50!
