Hey rain on wax is all good. It beads up and drops off right away. No water stains either.

I know! What the hell is up with the weather. It was nice and sunny yesterday. I wanted to play tennis this afternoon, but forget that idea!

I take that back...looks like the sun is coming out! I love SoCal

The water has dried off my car after driving around a bit

Tell me about it, I got a detail on Saturday and it rains today, worst of all my bra was on the car. Now my bra is wet so I had to take it off and I'm on the freeway for a long time today. Plus I used up all my lunchtime wiping down the car so that I won't get water spots. It's cool though cuz with the waz the water just came off.

I hate rain. Thank God I don't live in Seattle.

it funny hearing you people complain about the weather. well funny to me cuz if u lived where i live then you'd be like me and stop washing your car for weeks at a time. Down here in LA we could be in the middle of a heat wave one day and the next it'll be snowing... well not snowing but you get the idea. The weather is constantly changing around here so i've sufffered this problem probably more than all of you combined

HA, that's a good one. I wonder if anybody has ever tried putting rainx like wax on a car. Doesn't rainx just make water go away?

I saw an ad on TV and in the LA car show about water just driping off with these special waxes. That would solve the seattle problem.

I used to live in Oregon, and i just put a car cover over the car, it'd rain and snow all day and I just take the car cover off and put it right back on

Don't do it. The RainX wax is really annoying to remove later and it doesn't produce great results. It seems kind of oily and is difficult to buff clean. My experiment can went straight from the shelf to the trash. Go Zaino.
