Washing in the Rain
Just picked up my Shelby two days ago and need to get some wax on it. Seems the rain has set in here, so I may be washing in the rain. Anyone see any issues with washing in the rain if I then pull it in the garage and dry it off good? Will the rain have contaminants in it that would be left behind after drying?

I have done it, with success, but I would caution u to use an electric leaf blower to dry the car off, not towels. Use a waffle weave towel to get what you can't get off with the blower. Then wipe down with a quick detail spray product.
At least that is how I handle it.

Washing in the rain is great at least at my house. The public water is crap. Rain is a lot softer and better to keep water spots off. I use a wash and wax combo soap on my daily drivers and just leave them out. Seems to do a pretty good job not even drying.

I've washed cars in the rain for my detailing venture.... my neighbors have gotten used to it, but people driving by look and I can tell they think I am a little crazy.

Yep.........I've often washed mine in the rain..........it happens a lot here in England
And, yes, my neighbours think I'm mad!
Just reverse it back into the garage to dry off with m/fibre towels..................I refuse to put my pony away dirty
