Default Car washed itself

Yesterday it rained a little.The spots were unbareable,upon pulling into the garage.At another glance before leaving for work , yesterdays shower had left dirt and spots all over her.
It rained like crazy today .I pulled her into the garage as usual , thinking mayby I shoud get the chammy , dry her off.
Well a couple hours later (didnt touch her) I come back to the garage She's CLEAN no water spots no dirt , theres still some water beads on the doors but other than that looks about like she just got waxed.
I think its the wax.I was using Meguiars , you know , in the red bottle.But they were out so I got the Meguiars NXTGeneration tech wax.(purple bottle) Had about 3 weeekly doses on her.Cant wait for a few weeks to pass , then I'm gonna clay bar , and wax again of course.

Anyways , You might wanna try it.

Yeah i just did the claybar/wax job on mine. Tho you shouldnt dry the car off unless you washed it. If ya just drying off the rain, there is still dirt on the car and basically ya rubbing it in making those lil scratches and swirl marks in the paint. I kno ya didnt cuz of the wax job ya have on it, but im just giving ya a heads up for next time.

Clay bar is the best thing since buttered bread. It is amazing how that stuff works. I do not care how it works all I know is that stuff I swear by.

the whole "rain washing the car" was kin of a joke .but seriously clay bar in a week or two I quite waxing about 3-4 weeks ago so there wouldnt be any residue
AND ive decided to go with an axle back exhauste(muffs and tips only)because my car already has H pipe and the cat backs Ive seen for 800$ are straight pipes to the tips
