Black C230 Kompressor Coupe
It rained today...

It rained today and my 2 week old C230 is all wet. It's very annoying when rain or water droplets dry up on a car. I know I might be overreacting but it's bothering me. Should I wipe down the car w/ a terry cloth towel? Or just wait until the rain subsides and wash the car?

Wait until the rain stops, then wash the car. If you wipe it down now, you might scratch the paint with the dirt in the car.

'02 c230 coupe
It rained in jersey today and i was able to use my new california water blade. Excellent. Go get one theyre about 20 bucks and better than any towel or chamois. The california duster works just as good. get both and keep in your trunk at all times.

You guys are so lucky you get rain. I think this year we had 4" of rain and the rainy season is pretty much over until December. When it rains my family goes outside and revel in it. It's so unique for us. I love it when it rains after a waxing because I can see all the little water beads. The carwash thing is not biggy as my two local dealers offer free car washes whenever you want to stop by. They vacuum the interior, make the tires shiney, wash the windows inside and out. My dealer only offers free pastries and soda/coffee/water bottles but the other dealer also has cappucinos.

Actually, this is a great time to wash the car, right after it rains, the car will be cool, so a quick wash and wax would be great.

I will gladly offer you to swap house and location with me for a period of a year or two... I promise you won't like rain and snow after that!
