So my beaut. black 230, got trashed by a few days of these pollen, seed things from parking under my tree, some mild showers more pollen and my car is dirty and stained and run's

So embarrassed not able to drive with top down, so did some yard work today, got rid of most of the branches

TODAY it's supposed to thunder, now and generally the ask....

Should you wait till it rains to wash, or wash and its fine if it rains ?
I'm not hand washing I'm using a touchless car wash, with dryer afterwards

The more you touch/wash/run a black car through a car wash the greater the chance of scratches, swirls & marring. Wash it when you expect a few days of good weather to enjoy the clean ride!

A car just parked in the rain will usually not get very dirty so wash away, just don't drive in the rain. That will get the car dirty.

Never understood folks with modern cars that fret over driving in the rain. To each their own, I guess.

txs all, it just seems a waste going through a touchless and then it rains LOL,
but all makes sense, I washed the car and still got pollen seeds on my car, guess they blow in from the higher branches and other neighbors tree's lol

Love the rain, washed my car with water with no contaminants, oh maybe except acid rain

And the puddles do a good job on power washing my undercarriage when driven through at speed
