advice please
cleaned the car last sat 09/04
used autoglym super resin and waxed with auto smart carnuba wax
now we only got rain down here one day last week and since then the car looks shocking
the car has got dusty rain spots all over it and looks a right mess,
its doing this every time now it rains, i thought with using the wax this wouldnt happen?
i apprecaite the car will get dusty, but having a car that looks its coverd in dusty measles is taking the piss

Best thing to do straight after the rain is to do a few motorway speed runs, seeing as your car is waxed doing a few runs of +70mph will make the rain fly off.
If you leave the car standing after a rain the sun will come along dry it off naturally leaving behind a load of yellow sandy/dusty spots everywhere..

cheers mate thanks for the tip
i was just worried it was something i was doing
think next time it rains, i will go over the car with the hose wet it all over and then dry of
its just a right pain, as i dont use my car all week, detail at the weekend, and half way through the work it looks shite

If you have a decent wax on the car all you would need to do is "sheet" the water off with an opn ended hose or even a watering can, in effect you are drying your car with water, yes i know your thinking thats crazy but it will work, then dab the car with a nice quick detailer spray and a nice drying towel, problem solved. happy days.
