I swear...I really do. I can assure you of one thing. If I wax my truck...and spend countless hours doing so...it WILL rain within 24 hours.

I check the weather forecast...slight chance of rain...ONLY spurts of it in the morning in isolated areas. THEN it will clear up after early morning and turn cooler.

Up at 8:00am...9:30..wipe truck down! 10:00..admire my work...10:15 starts raining! 10:45 - wipe truck down again...11:00 - starts sprinkling..for 10 minutes..then stops...11:30 - wipe down truck again....12:00 starts POURING...12:30 I finally come to the realization that I am wasting my time!

Some of us are slow learners!!! AARRGGHH!!!!

Cleaning our vehicles is like doing a rain dance! They never have time to stay clean.

bwahahahaha Why not consider moving to place where one gets over 200 days of sunshine in a year? Dubai hardly gets any rain. You will love waxing your car there. :P On the downside, temp in summers for few days do cross 50 C.

I live in Florida!! We do however..get rain! It isnt like it rains all day! The rain just waits...quietly...until I get done with my final brushing of the truck! Then it piddles for 10 minutes and then stops...then waits....for me to wipe it off again! A vicious cycle!


Wax in the rain :)

I did...in between rain drops!

I'm lucky to have three days before it rains..or pollen..or SOMETHING messes up my work! AARRGGHHH!!!

If you insist on, keeping on, waxing your vehicle:
Move to California...
I heard there's a drought
going on out that way. :xyxthumbs:

I wish that would happen to me.

I live in Los Angeles and I'm sure you have heard about our drought?

And that El Nino we were promised never happened either.

But at least my cars are nice and polished.

Try Kansas, where a blizzard and a tornado occur within 12 hours, the temperature swings 70 degrees in a day and has been in the - teens and hot as 115.

I'm assuming you don't have a garage or carport to protect your work.

I'm also from Southern CA, so feel free to direct your sorcery this way.

Drove around in the rain today. Got home spent 1hr cleaning g her all up then 20 minutes layering on another coat of Colinite 845 only to hear my wife needs me to take my son to karate as she has a yoga class.

Not a problem except this is what is around me now. [emoji30]

Let's hope it holds off on coming down.

The upside is i love my wife in yoga pants [emoji14] no pics will be posted though. [emoji6]

I am in south Fl and was lucky enough to dodge all the rain today. Which is the total opposite of how it usually turns out.

starts sprinkling..for 10 minutes..then stops...11:30


The best kind.

Just enough to dampened the vehicle & attracts all sorts of crap onto the paint. Best yet when it happens during the morning commute. Turns the road into a nice slush, just what the lower panels need. And so you sit and watch your ride all crud up with junk for the rest of the beautiful dry, sunny day.

Fantastic.

I love it when this happens.
