    It`s been raining for a week here in the NE, with another 3 or 4 days to go before we`ll see the sun! God, I don`t think I can take much more of this driving around in a dirty car! :grrr



    Sorry, just had to vent.

    I`m with you guys in the Northeast. On Friday I had some work done on my 350Z and got stuck having to drive it in the rain. Needless to say I couldn`t cover it when I got home. All day Saturday I was like a sick puppy at the window looking out at it while it rained on the Z.



    Saturday morning I was finally able to go out and wash it while the rained stopped for bit so that I could cover it up. One neighbor actually came over laughing wondering what I was doing.



    The weather held off a bit on Monday afternoon for me to do a quick detail and vacuum on it ....



    I am looking skyward as well for the sun...

    I use to hate the rain. Now it really doesn`t matter. White + Zaino = relatively clean and shiny car not matter what`s the weather. Very little (dirt and grime) sticks to it.

    Gotta love it!!! :woot:



    It has been raining here since last Thursday and we need the water. Grass was getting pretty brown looking.

    Silver isn`t a bad color either. Car washed 2 1/2 weeks earlier and driven in & after rain four times. You might be able to see the tire dressin-sling behind the wheels.

    I`m complaining because it`s been too sunny for the last um.... 2 months. It`s been 80+ for the last two weeks. Oh yeah... i forgot, this is the NORM over here in Souther California.

    If rain cost you money like it does me, it wouldn`t matter what you use on your car.



    Since Thursday of last week, we have had rain on and off in the forecast-enough that about half my customers cancelled. It might as well rain if I am going to lose the business anyway. :bawling:

    This rain stinks!! :angry I haven`t washed my car in two weeks. Luckily, with the thick coat of wax on it the rain seems to just wash the dirt off. Once I go for a drive all the water just slides right off too!! But as soon as I park the car it just gets more rain and leaves :angry on it.
