After it rains, do you wipe down your car and use a detailing spray? Do you wash it?

None of the above . . .

Of course not! Are you nuts?

I have a Roadster garage queen in SoCal - I don't drive it in the rain

However, I do dust and use Meguair's Detailing Mist before putting the car cover back on (in the garage)

What the hell is a detailing spray?:dunno:

I don't let it dry... I dry it myself as soon as it stops raining, and then follow with quick detailing spray.

Example of detail spray

I last washed my car last in June. It looks the same now as when it was newly washed.... so I figure, who cares? The brake dust is starting to get a little noticable though.

A: What if you are in between washes and the car has a little bit of dirt. Do you stick towel it down? Just trying to figure out.... wouldn't the dirt scratch the surface if you're toweling? :dunno:

If a Calif duster will do the job with the dust, I'll do that. Otherwise a damp cotton towel to wipe down the car followed by Speedshine and microfibre cloth.

Al can only get away with this becuase his car is always clean. Therefore the rain did not adhere dirt to his car, it only got it wet.

But I would caution against it since there can be air borne particals that the rain can place on your car.

Also I think Johnlew (hey, get to work the markets are open:eeps: ) gets away with his duster after rain because his car is silver.:dunno:

If mine gets wet, the duster does not touch it until I have either washed it or detail sprayed. I detail spray after rain if the car was 90% clean prior to the rain. If dirtier I wash it before either spray or duster.

After a rain, I either wash or wet towel clean IF the car was very clean before the rain. I agree with your 2nd comment and do the same.

And, I am working. Don't worry about me. But thanx anyway.

I didn't take it as such and I suppose should have put a smily or something afterward to convey same. I know you were kidding. Believe it or not, have a good day going already. Hope the same for you.
