Looks great. I hate it when it rains after a good wash.

Longboarder · 03-26-2013, 12:02 PM

It happens.

When I lived in Hawaii it rained everyday on my commute from Kailua to Honolulu. So I just got used to driving a dirty car

Looks good

GetAlife75 · 03-26-2013, 12:12 PM

Know exactly how you feel. But it happens quite a lot. Weather forecasts can only be that accurate sometimes.

NAV8TT · 03-26-2013, 12:15 PM

Just noticed after using all these sonax products, when it rains, the car doesn't get as dirty, or it's easier to wipe the rain gravel and stains off with a dry towel

rjd598 · 03-26-2013, 12:20 PM

if you have a clean car then you shouldn't worry too much about rain water

Its_lobelt · 03-26-2013, 12:21 PM

White M3's look so good.

I'm no expert but I don't recommend doing this. Scrubbing dirt across your paint is not a good idea IMO.

gatorfast · 03-26-2013, 01:08 PM

Ha I feel your pain. Hasnt rained here in weeks. Spent 2 hours washing my car last Sunday. First time I take it out on Monday it rains

Good point thanks

Congrats. How do you like the Sonax Wheel Cleaner? Since it is stronger than, say, the Griot's Garage wheel cleaner I was a bit concerned that it might be too harsh if any got on the paint. Thanks!

I think it's brilliant. It changes color to purple once it interacts with all the break debris and dirt on the wheels. When you wash it off its clears pretty quick. It's hard to get on the paint when you hold about 2-3 inches from the wheel.

Really?

I'm supposed to feel bad about your drive from Kailua to Honolulu? LOL

I am jealous of that - dirt and all!

Mr. ///M3 RD · 03-26-2013, 02:59 PM

It never fails to rain after a wash

even up here in Canada what some say ... "Is the greatest country in the world"

Oh I almost forgot the car looks great after your wash ... would even look sharper having that wet look

... I know I see it on mine all the time.
