Re: Wax before rain
Personally I wouldn't think it's a "waste".
As long as you bring the car inside after waxing and let the wax cure for about 12 hours, even if you get rain on the car after that the wax will still protect your car.
Rain only makes the car really dirty, it won't affect the wax and its abilities to protect your car. ( unless you wax your car in the rain
)

Re: Wax before rain
It will make it easier to quickly and SAFELY wash the vehicle after the rains.
Plus, I don't know about you, but I LOVE to watch my wax effect the rain that falls on the car. Nothing like driving down the road in heavy rain with a mostly dry car because it sheets the water off so quickly

I like to see the water bead, and then when I take it for a drive, all the water sheets towards the back of my car fast :]....Ganesa,

Re: Wax before rain
People have left wax to cure on a painted surface for 24hrs, and then remove it by spraying iced-water on the wax residue for removal. Why? Because once a wax has been sitting for a long time, it becomes hard to remove.
Haven't heard about using rain to help remove wax though.Comment
