It actually stopped raining- i'm taking my car out for a drive before the hail starts!
thanks again-

Here is a thought. I have a well for watering the lawn and if you let the water stay on the paint it will cause an orange peel effect. The only way to get if off was to wet sand it with 2000 grid sandpaper and buff it out. The well water in Cape Coral Florida has a bit of sulpher in it and it is hard on the paint. It eats through the wax rather quickly.

I would let the dealer mess with it first.
