Hmm what should i do?

So i have a BB rx8.. i wash it polish it and wax it using all of meguiars products.. but everytime i wash and wax it spending a couple hours doing it it ends up raining or w/e the next day, and theres no way i can park it inside the garage. So would it be good to use Meguiars Quick detailers to get rid of the water marks in between or what should i use so i dont have to wash and wax it everytime it rains or w/e..
thank you for the feedback.. appreciate it :D

Just because it rains, you shouldn't have to wax it again. That is overkill.

After it rains I end up washing it again because the rain spots may be dusty or dirty. Then I will apply the detailer to the hood, roof, and trunk only.

I don't use the detailer to remove rain stains, without washing, because I might be driving dirt into the finish.

Your wax should be able to stay on the paint even if it rains, right? If not, it's not worth the investment.

Like tbnl said, you don't want to rub any particles of dirt into the paint...if you don't have a garage, I'd recommend a good car cover.

Just make sure your car is squeaky clean when you put the cover on or you may end up rubbing something abrasive into your finish.
