Rain is your friend.

Lets get this straight. I had an agreement with my car when I bought it. My car work for me!

. I don't work for it. All I can do is give it a home and care for it.

Rain washes it off, doesn't it?
Driven year round, rain, shine, snow, wind, you name it. Proud to have as my daily driver. Still cleans up fine for a car show!

DD with mine, but she is kept clean. Get a good coat of wax on her, and she doen't mind the rain.

I try not to. I have my truck, so if i think its gonna rain I dont take the camaro. Not because a little rain is gonna hurt it, but i do have some reasons; 1. If it gets rained on, i have to wash it, cause then it looks terrible. White gets dirty easily. 2. The weatherstripping is crappy, if it rains hard it leaks. 3. My windsheild wipers dont work correctly all the time. I have the part to fix them, but I dont have much motivation since I dont drive it in rain much lol. 4. Its not fun! I love my car, but I want to drive it with the sun out, the windows down, blasting music! Not on a gloomy, crappy, rainy day. Maybe its just me, i know its weird lol.

Every time you wash the car you re touching the paint with dirt and other abrasives. Over time it leads to scratches and junk.

It's funny that if you buy a used car you get one that was taken good care of but not often washed and clean it and the paint will be in better shape than some car that the owner washed all the time.

It's a car, not like it's going to melt.
