I don't wash or detail my car anymore becauase of the climate up here. It's a waste of my time. I keep the inside clean and the occasional quick touchless wash is good enough...

SAME thing happened to me, but right before I was going to dry it anyway I pulled it into the garage and continued to do a full detail ; ] haha

However, I just drove and it rained on me half way back to my house...SO WEAK.
