AMBIVALENCE Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 It's been the 2nd time within 10 days that i had just nicely waxed my car and then suddenly a friggen shower blast by. It probably only last for 10 min, but it feels like 10 years when i am driving, looking at the rain dribbles onto my windshield. I am depressed. felt like god dont want me to care for my car anymore =( Anyone can cheer me up with your story? or benifit of waxing before rain?

AMBIVALENCE Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 sry guys for starting this threat. I guess it's okay.

BrownBoy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 IF you did a good enough job, the water should bead/slide right off... Keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBIVALENCE Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 ya. i didnt feel that bad anymore after my car dried. i was driving on a clear road, not much traffic, just pure rain. So when it dried, it's very clean. Except i went out to pick up a friend that has trouble getting home, now the situtation changed a bit, the water is with dirt and sand. Again, i should be grateful i waxes. Sorry guys for keep unleashing my anger here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 It could be worse... you could do this for a living. Imagine what a pain in the ass it is to just finish buffing off the wax and then the skies open up and the customer wants to bitch that he just paid to have his car detailed and now it is ruined. I started carrying business cards around with 1-800 Dial-A-Prayer on it so they could take up with the one responsible. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
