I prefer to wash my cars in the rain, constant water flow, lower temp and no sun beating down drying to fast and creating water spots.

Good points! Wash, clay, rinse in the rain - dry, wax in the garage!

Well i don't clay bar her in the rain but just wash her down 2 times with the soap and mitt. The rain takes care of all the rinsing........absolutely ZERO soap left on her. Pull in the garage for drying and claying (if needed) and waxing. Give it a try next good rain you get!

Don't you guys polish te car after claying? You can cause 'marring' if you clay and accidentallly use to little lubricant or put to much pressure on the clay.

My steps:
Wash
Clay, PoorBoys Claybar
Polish (in 1, 2 or 3 steps)
Polish Inspection Spray (to remove remaining oils of the polish)
(Glaze), PB blackhole
(Sealant), PB EX-P
Wax Swissvax

Anyway, that yellow is stunning jyoteen!

I don't polish after claying unless I need to remove swirl marks or other paint correction is needed. Maguires quick detailer is used when claying and sets the car nicely for a waxing.

If I were to wait for rain in SoCal, the car would NEVER be washed.

and quite possibly cheaper.

You heard about the guy that didn't report his stolen credit card because he figured the thief would spend less than his wife?

I washed mine in the rain yesterday. Was good after our road trip...all the squished bugs on the front were all loosened ip and came off super easy. Then drove it into the garage and dried er off. Beautiful again!
