    After a rain shower

    Is there anything other than complete wash you can do for a car after a rain shower? My car looks like crap now after the few drops we got this afternoon. I am thinking something like QD and I also have GG speed shine. Would that work?

    That would be the perfect time to use a QD

    Re: After a rain shower

    you might as well go ahead and wash the car over again...I know some people here use QD's and waterless wash solutions, but I tend to stay away from using those. I only use QD's to remove bug splatter from the front if its within a few days after i've washed. I still feel a certain way about using a QD after dust and such has settled on the car. Even though I'm using a lub to remove that stuff, I still feel you are dragging it across the surface. This, of course, is just my opinions. Others use the above mentioned no problem. I guess its personal preference.

    I have been back and forth on this issue. Currently light dirt/dust that has not been exposed to rain = QD or WW. Rain = full wash.

    If it were me, I'd knock out a quick ONR wash. To make the maintenance washes even easier, fill up a pump up sprayer with the stuff and use just as much as you need. Cheaper than a QD and just as quick.

    Re: After a rain shower

    Im going to have to buy some ONR. This will probably make some of you gasp in shock but I took the speed shine to it and it looks pretty good. The only reason I did that was becasue I am looking at a full correction in the next couple of weeks. I didn't figure it would hurt it any worse than whats on it now.

    I've used ONR a few times. If it's real dirty I will run to a car wash and spray it down for $1 then use ONR
