Except in areas where the air quality is so bad that the rain just ends up making your car dirtier :\
Nah man we had some Sahara sand blow through, covered everything in a big layer of yellow dust. The next day it rained and the dust combined with the rain made some sort of cement which is stuck to my car. On places where the water pooled, like at the edges of the mirrors and the door seals it's caked on good.
Haven't bothered to clean it tho, just get annoyed every time I see it. Maybe I will clean it this weekend (I won't)
Here it rained that, everything yellow, then I regretted not cleaning it, but after 4 days and many people already having cleaned theirs, it rained yet again full of yellow sands and made everything dirty again. I felt really successful.
Modern problems require modern solutions, or something
One time during a particularly dry month, someone scribbled "wash me" on the tailgate of my truck
I scribbled "no" on the other side
It stayed partially visible for like 6 months
I live in South Carolina, the rain just turns the pollen into a runny streaky mess unless it's like a huge downpour lol
Why would you want to remove the protective layer of dirt?
Cast iron representing.
All rain is dirty, your car may be dirtier than the rain so the net is a cleaner car but it's not likely a clean car.
This says why better than I can: https://youtu.be/jPttPFSJl_k?si=Tt_wS_9Vx9Rizih8
I live in the PNW, this is legit my strategy
It can get pretty grubby during the summer months though
Here in the desert, we wash our cars in hopes that will make it rain...
Every time
