Just last week.... I was driving the Corvette and got caught in a rain shower on the way home.
Washed it in the rain, pulled it into the garage, dried it, slapped on a coat of Z8, covered it with the car cover. (Garage doors open)
The entire time, my neighbor across the street was on his front porch, smoking, pacing, and shaking his head.
I don`t think he`s a car guy.

Ha I do just about the same thing, pull it in, ONR quickly and use some QD normally (depends on my mood). My neighbors think its funny and tell me its pointless but o well. ;)

Ha, I actually showed two of my neighbors how to 2BM it and they do a pretty good job. They just think I am excessive because I used to wash my car almost every day it was driven, rain or shine.:huh:

Those who can do.... Those who cannot tell those who can why they shouldn`t....

My ol lady gets the keeping it clean thing. She doesn`t get the make it faster thing. She thinks when you buy a vehicle, it was built the way it was built for a reason. No modifying anything. I wouldn`t hesitate to tear the motor out of a car with 10 miles on it to build something better.

My neighbors are always making comments on how often I am working on my car. Wheather it be washing, QD, waxing, dusting, etc. They don`t get it.
You should see their expressions when I take the leaf blower to the car:scared:

I had the same thing happen to me Bill. A couple of weekends ago I was going to do a full correction and winter LSP on my truck. So I was washing it in the rain in the driveway and my neighbor`s wife drove by. I could tell what she was thinking just by the look on her face. I put it in the garage and about 10 hours later I was done. It stayed in the garage until it stopped raining! She has since made two comments how clean it is!
