After the rain
A scenario that seems to be common enough for me that I should have a standard procedure.
So I drive 35 nasty highway miles in a pouring rain. Like any good Autogeek I recently put Fuizon over a couple week old coat of WGPS3.0 so when I stopped hard in the garage nearly all the rain rolled off. So the car is now a little wet and road grimy especially the rear and aft of the wheels.
What to do?
I have two bucketed in a light rain and pulled in the garage to dry.
I have just hit it with a rinseless which seems to be good enough.
I have also tried a waterless.
So, does it make any sense or have any benefit, to wash the paint minutes after pulling in the garage or am I asking for trouble? (if the chance of rain the next day is less than, say, 50%)

I would wait until it stops raining and to a 2bm.

Good to see someone with like-minded thoughts. I have the same feeling about the road scum near the wheels and lower sides of my car after driving in the rain. To me, it makes a lot of sense to wash the paint within minutes while it is still wet. I hit mine with ONR+W (I also have deep gloss paint sailed topped with Fuzion) and now I have a gallon of Fuzion spray wax which I plan to use after the ONR+W in order to make that area as slick as possible. I have spray bottles of ONR+W and Fuzion spray wax plus MF towels in the trunk, too.
This is all dependent on how much time I have to pull this off.

Awesome ideas. I am using the Wolfgang rinseless diluted to whatever it said to use as a waterless. I will give the ONR a shot next.

Re: After the rain
I think it makes sense to wash the car after a rain while it is still wet. The dirt's certainly not going to come off easier if you allow the car to dry.
