Thumbs down Half washed my car today ...

This is why I hate New England weather. I wake up and it's a beautiful 80 degree day outside and I feel like washing my car because my car looks like a giant bumble bee with all the pollen over it. Then I look up the weather for the rest of the week and it's supposed to T-Storm tonight and tomorrow. I was so pissed cause i hate washing my car all the way when I know it's just going to get rained on and dirty again. So I took my Mr. Clean Auto Dry car wash system and just sprayed it down and gave it a quick spray wash without the normal elbow grease I give it with a hand sponge. Cleaned my wheels as well, but I just feel like it's unaccomplised. Again, this is why I hate New England weather ....

I take it you park outside???

Just wash it anyway and when the weather clears up, take out some detailing spray and a microfiber and give it a quick wipe down and it will look good as new.

I have to park outside unfortunately. I still live with the rents for now but I am moving out soon once I buy my condo. It's going to be so nice being able to park in my own garage.

Parking in a garage FTW. Also having a beater car FTW !! Sorry to hear about your troubles! I had the same problems last year with my truck, I didnt park in a garage and no matter when I cleaned it, rain was near by. I saw that there was a chance of rain today and the SS didnt even move. I pimped the 97 accord with 230,800 miles all day HELLL YEA hahahaha.

I wash mine all the time when the weather is subpar. I just don't usually look at the weather for the rest of the week before i do it. Oh well, Those are the days I just leave it in the garage and take the Cavy
