My weather forecast says showers off and on all day. (looking out window)... the sun is shining and hasn't rained yet. My truck needs washing. How many wash there vehicles even though there is a chance of rain?
 
It all depends on how "dirty" my vehicles are, how long it is supposed to rain for and my mood!

The weather forcasts I pay attention to are notoriously wrong, so I take what they say with a grain of salt. If the car is dirty, I will wash it, I don't care if there are black clouds above me.
 
I'd never wash before a rain here. Reason being is that "rain" here is typically lots of wind kicking up lots of dust, and then a sprinkle or two. Enough to leave brown polka dots all over my car.

I know it's killing me. I usually look at the next day forecast; if there is rain predicted I don't wash, otherwise I do. Forecasters can only somewhat predict one day ahead, beyond that they are completely guessing
 
well if u wash the car and it rains its just new dirt... if u dont wash the car and it rains its old and new dirt... i perfer as little dirt as possible... so i was it every other day usually.... god damn black car
 
I TRY to do it when it's going to be nice, but I'm starting to care less and less because the stupid weather forecasting keeps jumping around!



Today: "Sunny and clear skies for the rest of the week and it's going to be SCORCHER!"



Tommorrow: "Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms with a chance of hail all through the week, and bundle up because it's going to be FREEZING!"



Well, maybe not :rolleyes: but it sure feels that way sometimes.

:grrr

Ah yes, the notoriously inaccurate Dallas/Fort Worth metromess weather forecasters. :mad:



I pretty much ignore them and go by the clouds in the sky.
 
I dont find a lot of sense in washing if rain is immanent. Otherwise your putting all those road oils on top of a clean surface.....If theres a chance of rain, I will usually wait until that chance passes, look at my own weather station and go from there...I guess its about as accurate as the million $ ones anyway ! Sometime you just go with your hunches !
