    Weather Prediction!!

    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!

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

    Re: Weather Prediction!!

    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.
