Don't mind me I am just upset after washing and detailing mine Saturday I recieved a torrential downpour on Monday while at work. Lucklily the roads were dry by the time I got off and so It didnt get too dirty.

Not really, but I don't wash it every week and I don't drive it when it's raining usually so it mainly just gets dusty and then if it gets bird poop on it, it gets a clean spot from the quick detailer.

I'd like to be able to dust it weekly and QD it here and there, and just wash it as-needed if I get caught in the rain sometime.

Today I kept my Z safely in the garage and drove my DD, and glad I did because some idiot was driving a dump truck full of asphalt stuff with the gate unlatched and spilling it all over the road! Luckily it seems I only got one chip on the Civic, but if that had been the Z I would have been mad!

Shado told me months ago that the "goofy grin everytime I look at MY Z" phase never passes. He was correct! LOL

Man.. I feel you... cause it happened to me couple times this season....

The worst time was I washed it in the morning when it was sunny like heaven.... then pour for 5 mins...

If that's the case, I suggest you go with waterless car wash...

not keen on the duster cos I always feel it's like dry-clean aka scratching panels....

It does wash n wax at the same time...
