Raining the next day after your car wash!!

Ph0zenstone · 12-11-2007, 07:16 AM

I just have to vent a little here, it seems like everytime i wash the car and its all nice and clean, it rains the next day and gets all dirty again. it seems there is no point in washing the car anymore since it will just be dirty everyday anyway. what the Farck!!!

yeah, I feel your pain --->http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ghlight=happen

Same thing happens when you wash your hair. I detail for today. What happens tomorrow happens tomorrow.

Queenskid24 · 12-11-2007, 08:35 AM

lolol, i usually take a look at the weather channel and mkae sure there ABSOLOUTELY no storms anywhere near NY, then ill wash, if its bad weather then i pull out my other car.

ejazbmw · 12-11-2007, 09:41 AM

i usually check out the forecast before washing my car.

3onDubs · 12-11-2007, 09:43 AM

I think it's better to wash before the rain.....dirty car + rain is a lot worse imo

finallyFI · 12-11-2007, 10:54 AM

What sucks more? Hand washing your car yourself...then it rains? Or paying 25 bucks to get it hand washed....then it rains?

Maxtor · 12-11-2007, 04:08 PM

Had a full detail yesterday. Today we had a mini-snowstorm.

It did look pretty this morning though.

KyleY911 · 12-11-2007, 05:39 PM

Man i know what you're talking about........even over here in Cali if i wash my car, besides the summer time, it always seems to rain, and all that hard work just goes to waste.............it really makes me mad but then again, just gives me another reason to wash the car

Rips335iCoupe · 12-11-2007, 05:40 PM

Weather channel??

Ph0zenstone · 12-11-2007, 09:02 PM

weather channel isn't even trustworthy...they claim 20-30% chance rain everyday just to be safe, there's never a clear day in their dictionary, they always put cloudy, chance of rain in there so that we cant complain they didnt warn us about rain

AH · 12-12-2007, 01:57 AM

feel your pain here... last time even i washed and waxed before it suddenly rained couple hours after.... wtf.

haha, I'm with you on that. Looks like you live very close to me. I'll keep an eye out for you driving around.

JustDee · 12-12-2007, 11:09 AM

It's been raining everyday here

Can't even squeeze in a normal car wash and the touchless really doesn't clean the car very well. The car looks like crap everyday now with dirty black streaks everywhere.

Couch · 12-12-2007, 02:15 PM

That's why I rarely wash my car more than once a month. I wait for there to be at least 4 days of consecutive sunny days.

onehappydad · 12-12-2007, 02:45 PM

Washed and detailed my car this past Sunday morning....

Sunday afternoon til now - rain everyday!!!

Forecast for rest of week - rain! :sad0147::sad0147::sad0147:

sejoon85 · 12-19-2007, 12:54 AM

i still think its better to give it an occasional wash, and not let the dirt build up,it will get harder to remove and wash later on

I feel the pain too guys, I wanna wash my car so bad right now....At the very least I am going to wipe down my wheels, the break dust is killer!!!! One week with my new wheels and they're freakin black!!

MichTa73 · 12-19-2007, 03:16 PM

I washed my car last night. It was 38 degrees F. and raining. I'll be waiting till Spring if I wait for the sun to come out.

ChaneRZ · 12-19-2007, 03:35 PM

i know it sucks but i got a DD car to take out.

ScheerSpeed · 12-19-2007, 04:20 PM

at least you MUST wash chrome wheel lips after about 3 days of rain or they WILL CORRODE
