Please dont let it rain today, she's (the 75) looking a mess and needs a right good wash.

Know what your saying! My ZT & ZR are both desperately in need of a clean.

I can't remember the last day it didn't rain here.

simon - you doing the rally?

I can't do next weekend :mad: as I have a previous engagement in Leeds. ( I'm looking forward to it though!!:))

I am intending to go to Sizergh Castle on the 5th July for the Cumbrian Rover Rally. We're on holiday in the Lake District that week so even SWMBO thinks it would be a good idea :D:D:D

Are you guys able to make that?

Why? Don't you wash the car in the rain?

Best time to do it, particularly if it's either (a) a chore you don't like doing, or (b) it's just had a full polish, so it only needs a wash.

The rain does two things, it loosens the dirt and grot, so there's less chance of swirl marks, and secondly, the car doesn't need rinsing or drying, so it's done in 15 minutes.........

(mind you, the neighbours think you're a bit strange, till you tell them why. Several of my neighbours now wash their cars in the rain)

rain is the best water to use to rinse a car, as it's very soft, so you get less water marks.

Some of the detailing people collect rain water for such use...

it goes through filters first though (well the people I know who use it filter it). there's sand and all kinds of cack in rain water.

Why? Don't you wash the car in the rain?

Firstly - It would mean me getting wet - not keen on that
Secondly - Anytime I've washed her in the rain the finish has been awfully. all spotty and streaky

Is there a technique for washing it in the rain?
