So all week I've been watching the weather because I've been wanting to really clean up my car. It was supposed to be 70* today, partly cloudy with a 10% chance of rain. I figured it would be a great day to wash, clay, and wax the GP.

I started off with a really good wash job. The car looked awesome sitting there all sqeeky clean. I get out the Mothers clay bar kit. I clayed the hood. When I was finished it was like a blue piece of glass. I start on the front bumber and I droped the clay on the ground. So I had to throw the clay out and ditch the plan to clay the GP today. I then start waxing. Did one coat car looked really good. I started the second coat and I saw that some big clouds were coming in. Just as I finish waxing the rain starts.

I spent about 2 hours cleaning up the GP only for it to rain. I should have known something bad would happen after I dropped the clay.

Sounds like you need a garage.

I got on the bike yesterday and went riding down to Rhode Island with some buddies from work. By the time I got home, the roads were wet, but done raining.

It sucks mostly cuz I live on a dirt road. So whenever it rains the roads are all muddy and no matter how slowly I drive the car gets dirty.
