yes, you can wash in the rain... you still need to rinse your car though

i wash my car when raining :smiley:

Dedication!

yep as guy said just rinse the car first as you normally would and wash as normal.

Dedication!
More of an addiction I think, started by just cleaning the car normally. Now I clean the beast daily!
Once I have my rotary, it will step up a gear.
She is by no means perfect, but ain't bad for a ten year old car on a limited budget.

My mates/family take the piss for cleaning my car weekly :laugh:
Good on you though.

Not a full clean, just a little.
Keeps on top of things.

A bit un-called for if you ask me, see quote from yourself on 20th March;
well you should only need to polish your car 1-2 times a year if you look affter it.. just wash weekly and top up wax.. job done.. takes me about 2-3 hours a week to wash hoover etc
2-3 hours per week! I spend 5-10mins per day, wash and wax every couple of weeks or so, you work it out!

what do you do in those 5-10mins per day?
-
Quick detailer to remove water spots, smears etc.
It does remove the wax and rain repellent eventually but as long as I do a good wash and wax every couple of weeks age is always shiny and beads very well.
I used to spend every sat morning washing and waxing, thought id try a little every day and it kind stuck, plus I now get more time in the pub because I can lite in on a sat!ll.

be careful if you're over relying on QD... you can end up just wiping dirt across the surface
I have found that there is no replacement for a quick wash, save yourself 20mins a week by just doing a half hour wash at the weekend :wink:

I if miss a few days or there is rough weather, I wil always give her a quick wash because I don't wasn't to risk marking the paint due to the amount of dirt on it,
