Default I HATE RAIN

GRRRRRR,

Since october I've wanted to polish my £300 Carisma but the weather hasn't been great.

Today I was out at 9am washing the car, great sun smashing day. Just put the Meguires on and as soon as it drys it clouds over and rains crazy hard.

It has rained solid for the last 2hours so any chances of me getting it off before work monday isn't looking promising.

Looks like I'l have to have a patchy powdery coat all over the car until next weekend.

Whats the best way to recover it? complete wash n fresh polish or try n polish over it.,

I was nearly in the same boat as you RobsyUK. Woke up to a lovely morning, sun shining though the windows and everything. Just got out all my cleaning stuff, jacked the car up and wheels off and the heavens opened, hasnt stopped for the last 3hours.
Guess my impreza isnt getting washed today, not by me anyway lol.

Roll on the summer, all 3 days of it.

Buying a £300 Carisma surely warrants a 6 month stretch.
