nope, this rain is discouraging. when as soon as u wash ur car and pull out of the garage rain starts falling.

Guys, i think i am the cause for all this rain ,, I did a full detail on Range Rover , avensis and my vehicle over the weekend.

Anytime i do this type of detail its guaranteed to rain. So its 3 days of straight rain lol.

I am going to start to call this detailing package ,...... MAKE IT RAIN ! lol

You don't use wax on your windscreen, this causes your windscreen to haze , so its not recommended.

I did a wash last night, quick thing.
Lots of rain these days.

[searchingone]

oh sheit I always thought was the entire car, glass included....(good thing I didn't do it yet..... )

[Karim Khan]

I think the only reason why it rains is because people wash their car.

Anyone know where to get a wash and rinse spray nozzle? The one that attaches to a hose and has the part for the liquid and mixes it?

[G-DUB]

Bass, to be honest i really dont know where you can get it now , i had one from price mart years ago, and i used it with the car wash, but it was not all that.

If you want to use this tool to wash you car, you are better off with the normal bucket and hose method.

its just my 2 cents

Epic fail... Washed the van yesterday and today it looks like it hasnt been washed in a month

[trvs]

Same here. Washed mine last night as well. Real frickin dirty.

[chris1388]

I just used meguiars ultimate liquid wax on my car...it worked great!

[gfbl]

pics?

[cinco]

i washed mine and hosed it off and didnt bother to dry
rain was pouring

[Karim Khan]

actually the best time to wax your ride is in the rainy season. Why you will see the benefits of the wax ( the water beading) and the vehicle will be much more easier to wash.

try it

^^ my bad. I was referring to the La Romaine branch. Saw it on Saturday and was contemplating whether to buy it. Karim Khan how would you compare this to the bucket and hose method? Any difference?

If you are using the wash and rinse nozzle you would still need to use the bucket and hose to properly wash your car.

IMO its a nice nozzle and its long enough to wash the top of the car and under the fenders with little effort.

i say if you want it might as well get it. I am sure if it does not need your expectation you or someone else can find a suitable use for it.

[NR8]

That's exactly what I was wondering, whether it would remove all the dirt and dust or whether I would still need to use a chamois.
Thanks for the advice.

[DSM_05]

^^You don't use a chamois to wash a car.

Only dry it.

Using a chamois when a car has dirt on it will cause swirls since the chamois is a flat cloth, and won't pull dirt away from the paint. If you use a microfibre cloth, that has fibres which pull dirt away from the paint, and so, act like a "buffer" of sorts.

I fully agree with DSM - if you want to push it further get a quality wash mitt. It holds more solution than the cloth.
