Happened to me as well. Living in Seattle has its drawbacks! Once I get my C55 all washed up, I fall in love with this car all over again...

Nice looking ride! I am not usually one for aftermarket rims, as I prefer the stock look, but your rims are subtle enough and with the AMG badges look awesome! We are expecting about 3-4 inches of rain over the next 36 hours on the east coast (NoVA) so looks like I can hold off on washing my car for another day or two. Weekend is shaping up to be nice.

Is Sunset near Harding Park golf course? My aunt live in that area and the background in your pics remind me of their neighborhood.

BTW...Sweet and clean ride you have there...and rain on the day you wash/wax your car is Murphy's Law at work.

Nothing wrong with a little rain after you waxed her! Let's you see the fruits of you labor (and the areas you might have missed) as the water beads easily and runs right off her.

Nice rims

What brand and size are they?

arekux,

Your car looks amazing. Love the color.

With regard to the subject heading. I feel your pain dude. Very frustrating. Be glad, at least, your car is not black.
