Hi.

I don't want to wash my Civic in the automatic car wash so I am washing in hand. I know that rinsing off all loose dust and dirtiness is important, so of coarse I use a hose to rinse off first. But... while my access to a water hose is possible, it is not easy. Then how about washing car while it is raining? Will the rain do enough rinsing or does the rainwater contain dirt particles itself?

Regards, Lars.

Look into waterless washing, I think that’d be perfect for you. Might need a lot of microfiber towels though!

It will depend on how sever the rain is in your area. It is somewhat pointless as you'll have to wash your car after the rain stops to prevent water spots
