I'm worried enough about the potential damage from rain water my car might be sustaining right now as it sits at home in this hellish sunlight with the water beads from an early morning shower sitting on its horizontal surfaces.

There's no escaping your car getting dirty when a.) it's summer and b.) it's your daily driver.

I'm presuming you know something of the trade when it comes to detailing since you frequent this board a lot, so if you take care of your car as much as I presume, then the best advice I can give you is to just wash your car once a week as usual and REAAALLY savor it when it's clean.

Rainy season is right up there with winter when it comes to being tough on cars. I dunno how it is up there in PA... I'd imagine summers up there actually enjoyable.
Thanks for the advice but I think you misunderstood my question... I'm going to GM nationals on June 22, under the light I see some areas that need detailing, I only have 1 week to get it looking spotless! But with this storm not helping I have to get this done some way, unfortunately I need the car for work, so ideas? Should a do 1 area at the time? My mayor concern is that I only have one buffing pad orange and 1 white, so I was trying to do all the car in 1 day...
