    Rain every few days, do you wash in between?

    So we have a rainy pattern here and it seems to be raining every few days. In the past I just didn't bother washing my car until the pattern ended. A few years ago I was thinking it still makes sense to clean off the dirt that accumulates in between the rain events. So I find myself washing once a week even though I know it will rain in a day or two.
    What do you do during the rainy season?

    Sometimes I wipe the car down everyday. Makes things easier and quicker to clean

    Seems to keep things easier to clean the more often it is done.

    I bet most on here are super anal unless they do it for a profession and don't wanna clean there car at the end of the day.

    I always push my carpet off because I am in the carpet cleaning business and it is the last thing I wanna do.... even though I take good care of it.

    You can sing and clean at the same time in the garage watching it rain

    Weather permitting i'll rinseless wash twice a week. If it's not forecast to rain that night i"ll do wash. I view it as maintenance for the paint + i really enjoy the process.

    tell me about it, my sequoia is a pain to keep clean because of how tall it is... i think it's the tallest SUV ever made when in stock form... its ridiculous, can't even reach the center of the roof while standing on a stool. lol
