we got that muddy rain here once a while back. i had just washed my car the day before, came out the next morning and was in shock at what my car looked like ( no garage luxury here)

LOL, the instant I saw this topic I knew you were from around here. Looks like you were at the AMC, right? Those lights in the background of pic 2 don't look right for the Harkins.

My car was in the driveway, which is rather well protected compared to a wide open parking lot, so I didn't get it as bad. Here's what mine looks like right now (pics left big):

Yeah it was something to walk out into, I saw transformers 3 and i really enjoyed the movie. I wasnt to upset that it was dirty more of a huge disapointment. I knew at the time there was nothing i could do so i just sucked it up and when home since it was about 1130 at night.

To wash the lovers i just take them off then put them back on.

It was at the AMC in tempe market place

So far all i have had time for is just to spray it down with the hose, im not gonna tuch it with a brush or sponge or anything untill im sure most of it is off. Im mostly worried about messing up the vinyl more then it already is.

The storm it self they said was about 3 to 4 thousand feet high.

there is a video on this page of the storm
