Weather against the me

[XanderCage13]

Well, trying to clean the car ready for Sunday, and of course my 2 days off (today and tomoz), rain forecast-ed around 90-100% for both days. I am not impressed :-(

Might be a silly question, but is there any point in washing the car with the rain on and off (I know i cant wax it as i wont have time to get it done in between intermittent showers)?....

I think there is, as I will wash mine regardless on Saturday morning. It will still get all the muck off, kicked up by the puddles etc from the recent bad weather. Bring some traffic film remover, and detailing spray for a final spruce up on the day. Quite a few of us have half a boot load of cleaning stuff on the day if you need to borrow anything

This is my plan too. At the moment there are a few hours forecast where it's not raining on Saturday morning, so I'm going to do what I can then.

Very silly question and yes is the answer.
Here's the alloys I have just quickly cleaned (in the rain) this afternoon with Envy Iron Awe.

I know some people are like, you cant dry the car, it'll streak etc hence the silly question :-)
I'm full of them, I blame chemo brain ;-)

That's where the detailing spray comes in, gets rid of the streaks and water marks on the day.

Its deffinately worth spending an hour in the rain to keep on top of you car.

A top tip is: Once you've rinsed your vehicle down after shampooing add some quick detailer to the wet panels and dry as well as you can. This is a quick fix for some protect to last until your next wash.


I hope this helps,

Managed to get the car done this morning. And literally as a finishing buffing the last panel, it started to rain. In between the rain, I've managed to hoover too.

I ain't done mine yet either in work till 6 tonight. So it will have to be done after that hopefully my son garages are empty and I can then use them to clean it in lol [emoji2]

[XanderCage13]

I could do with a son and a garage too

Managed to get a clean in for mine. Finished work an hour early and the weather has stayed clear so made the most of it!

Sounds like perfect timing, although some may say its the fact you cleaned your car is why it rained, well thats what my neighbour says to me!

Keep it up,

My neighbours say this too me a lot of the time. But mostly it's 'are you still cleaning it' It baffles most people that they go to the shops, hang the washing out, walk the dog, get some gardening done etc and I'm still just cleaning the same car. Perfectly normal to me.
