hmm, its usually night time by the time i finish detailing my car. i usually don't go out because its night and wait to show off my car the next day. usually it doesn't rain in the morning.

i say, save it for the next day.

Happens to me everytime also, at least you know that your waxing actually helps repelling the rain water.

So I'm guessing it rained up in LA? It hit for like a hour here in SD. But I haven't washed my car in over a week...

^^ Yup, www.weather.com is my best friend!

I'll wash my car on the weekends and if I see it's going to rain I just keep the car in the garage.

I live in Oklahoma and it usually storms here and the weather is very unpredictable, but lately we are in a drought. Today the high is 98 and no rain in sight. But I am soooooo glad I dont live in the northwest where it rains about every day.
