Just this morning I washed my car then put on a coat of Poor Boys QW+...Got in the car, went for a ride, then it started raining on me...Drove about 20 miles or so in a light rain...Do I need to was the car all over or is there a product I can put on to clean it up?

Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. As long as there is no caked on dirt or mud. :)

PB spray and wipe is a waterless wash and is therefore more than a QD. QD's are usually just for light dust or fingerprints or to amp up the gloss on a clean finish.

If it's a QD you want you can't go wrong with Crystal Mist

You will be surprised at just what contaminents where kicked up onto the paint. I am forwarning you to wash the car. No qd'er or similar product is going to cut thru any dirt without potentially scratching the car. When its black, everything is amplified, thus wash carefully or take a considerable chance with scratching and swirls.

You're so right.
I pre-wash all black vehicles just to get all I can off first. I also will use 2 rinse buckets just in case. Oh yea, 2-4 sponges too.

Would i be safe just hosing off the car or break out the bucket and soap?

If the car is dirty then be very carefull, if it's just light dust then a waterless wash should be ok, if it's dirt then you gotta wash it.
