Way to stick with it, Clos. Black is beautiful. Times like this we need feel-o-vision so we can run our hand across the hood!

Just came in from a quick turnaround to the midwest. My cousin let me borrow his SUV (red) for a few days on one condition...I couldn't fill it up when I was done. I didn't but I had it detailed in and out incl. engine. He cracked up when I drove it up. Told him I did like he asked.

No way of telling via pictures how the wax job turned out but I bet the surface is ultra slick!
The weather man apparently was jealous of your ride, hence the reason for the downpour... but unfortunately, it does happen to most of us.
