Ahhhhhhhhhh I give up!

Im never going to wash my HHR again, Almost every time I do Birds use it for target practice or it friggin rain's.. Well this weekend looked to be cool and sunny , no sign's of rain,, Drove the HHR to the shop used the pressure washer to rinse the wash.. Sun still out,, drove home and then used ICE Detailer, still sunny and nice,, Finish off with a coat of ICE Wax , before I finish the last fender the sky starts to turn black, my GF calls says it is a down pour at her house, 15 minute's away,, the shy get blacker and blacker and then the Damn burst WOW thunder , down pouring rain wind blowing like a tornado.... 15 minute's later the sun is bright and shiny! WTF am I cursed or is the HHR ? Ill never wash the HHR again,, or atleast till next weekend

It has been said that "Nature abhors a vacuum", apparently it extends to clean cars too, I feel your pain Radco.

Nope, we just deal with dust because it is too stinking dry! I have the Imperial Blue and it looks dirty two days after washing it.
