I don't have this problem now,thank god,but still wouldn't take the risk.

yeah it sucks, especially when you've been saving up for some new mods and then this stuff happens.

Off topic: what year you and what are you studying?

I'm third year studying business with compsci
I'm first year studying biology. I thought I wanted to go to med school, but I'm switching my major to business. I think I'm just going to get that then work on an MBA.

I'm not too concerned with what other people think about me covering the car though. It would just be a hassle...

Better than how it looks now, covered in water spots from rain and wheels that look like they were rolled through the Dustbowl.

Yeah if your going to do touchess, for heavens sake don't dry it with a towel after. Just go to one that has a decent dryer.
I ocassionally do touchless if i need my car cleaned quickly and it's not that dirty to begin with. With my car being silver, if i dont get it completley dry it doesn't leave visable marks.
