I couldn't help but notice today how much I enjoy looking at my car in the rain. It looks so pretty with the water beading off of the panels and falling off. However, this does not happen on the hood -- it's too flat. Also, there tends to be some staining where the water carries dirt down the panels from underneath the side mirrors. (Fear not, he-who-keeps-his-D-inside-at-all-times-lest-the-magic-disappear -- the stains wipe off.) Anyway, I was thinking: it would be even more awesome if the water beaded away from the hood the way it beads off of the glass. I use Rain-X on the glass to wonderful effect. Has anyone ever tried it on the stainless panels? If so, how did it perform?
