Default Just waxed my car and then it rained

Hi. Several hours after I waxed and buffed my car dry, it began to rain pretty hard. Has the rain storm affected my wax job? Since the wax was only recently applied, I'm afraid it did not have a chance to set before the rain started. Do I need to wax the car again?

wax job is fine...
just rewash and the shine will pop back.
btw, you should have noticed the water really beading up nicely- thats how you can tell a good wax job

The wax should "set" before it's buffed off. I always let the wax dry for a while before buffing it off, unless the directions state otherwise.
