    The extremely rare California beading shot

    A rare natural phenomenon occurred in So Cal today where water fell from the sky from things called clouds. People on foot ran for their lives and those in cars drove even faster and more recklessly on the freeway. I took a beading shot. Several coats of OCW and solely washed with rinseless (ONRWW) or waterless (D115).


    Tight beads

    Oh the humanities.....`the sky is falling...the sky is falling`. lol
    The beads always look good until the water dries and the dust rings remain.

    We were lucky enough yesterday to get enough rain where the car was actually clean afterwards. Or at least my car was still super glossy, I didn`t look at other peoples.

    I did a rinseless in the garage last night hoping it wouldn`t rain today but of course it did.

    Few times a year. We`re having unprecedented historical drought these past few years.

    My Yaris hatchback was mostly clean-like. Enough to pass up my wash today (well, it`s supposed to rain more this week).

    I wasn`t so lucky with the hatchback part though...what was once water beads is now little circle dirt marks!
