    BFWD Problem? Very strange

    So I stripped my car down on monday jeweled it with SRC Finishing polish and put BFWD on it. Strangest thing ever happen, So I left my car outside last night in a big rain storm to see how well BFWD would beed water by its self with no topper. Here`s the suprise the water was completely flat on my paint it was like there was no wax on it at all.... So I went goto the shop this morning and sprayed the car down and same thing completely flat.... No beeding what so ever? Anyone ever seen this? Did I do something wrong? I know I didn`t IPA the car after SRC Finishing but I was under the impression you could got SRC straight to BFWD.... Opinions?

    Maybe too obvious of a question, but did you shake the bottle well? Wondering if you just got the solvents.

    I take it this was not the first time you used this bottle, do you have any other cars near by that got a application from the same bottle? Try spraying water on them and see what happens.

    Maybe it was a pounding hard continious rain that took it off?

    That`s really strange that there was no heading. Even if something prevented it from bonding it would have at least lasted a little while. It should have made it though one rain

    Re: BFWD Problem? Very strange

    Update so I tryed this on someone else`s car and yesterday it was beeding up in my test spot, Today it flat.... There is no way a little rain is taking off BFWD that easily... I have customer cars I did out of the same bottle months ago that are still beeding. I wonder what happen to it??????
