The other night I parked under a tree (I dont remember what kind) without thinking about it. Before I parked under the tree, the water was beading off of hte car like normal (recently waxed with NXT).
However, when I came back out to the car, all of the water was jsut sitting on the car, and not rolling or beading off. Then as soon as I got home I washed it (in the rain) just because I couldn't stand to have the water just sit on the paint like that. Anyways, even after washing it was still there...no beading. Only if I applied quite a bit of pressure with the wash mitt, the water would bead again after rinsing.
I found this strange. Is this the result of sap being dissolved into the water and then attaching to the paint.
Has anyone else encountered this before. Ill tell you one thing...I have learned to stay CLEAR of trees when its raining...LOL
BTW, I cleaned the paint and then rewaxed with NXT and it appears to be back to normal. I just want to know exactly what is causing this, anyone know?
thanks,
Dan
