This rain sucks ...

I am driving up from Philly @ 5am so the car is going to get dirty period; if it's wet on the roads going up, it doesn't even matter what kind of detail I do first. Right now I plan to wipe down the inside, clean the interior/exterior glass, and perhaps clean the wheels. Unless it drives up, anything else is just not friggin' worth it.

I wanted to wash my car all week but the rain never let up. I just drove from philly to n NJ, got in about an hour ago.

I would wait...:/

so?confused · 09-23-2011, 10:51 PM

this rain is gonna be doing all the cleaning lol

You guys haven't seen rain until you've lived in Germany. It rains almost every week here.

CJ421 · 09-24-2011, 12:24 PM

^I've been there once, and I definitely agree.

Here in Philadelphia we've almost had more rain since August than we usually get all year.

Anyways I washed my car and did a very basic detail this morning, good thing I didn't do more because it has just started to rain. At least I got all the dirt off the car however. So it won't look bad when it dries.

GTiceman · 09-24-2011, 12:28 PM

yea I did the same, just a quick cleaning this morning

madeinhongkong · 09-24-2011, 01:02 PM
