Took the kids to a movie this afternoon - came outside and it was... you guessed it.... RAINING...

So, drove home through the rain - luckily it had been raining pretty hard while we were in the movie - so the roads seemed pretty clean - just really wet -

Got home, blasted it with the hose REALLY WELL - checked for grit/dirt, didn't find any - so I Hydro'd and dried - better than new...

Nice work Blimey, it looks just fantastic.
I have now subscribed to the zen-like philosophy involving rain and freshly detailed MINIs: Sh*t happens, but as long as it happens in a clean MINI, life is good.
So what if it rained - at least it rained on your clean MINI (and you got pics to prove it).
