You need to add one, not sure if this just happens to me but it usually starts raining before I finish!

When I lived in S. Florida (20 years), it rained every day in the Summer around 2 PM.

I thought Florida has been having water shortage problems yet I hear it rains all the time.

I only have rain issues in the winter here in NO CAL...however once the rain season starts here in CA...people stop having anything done to their cars!

Californians are funny that way.

one of my regular customers dropped their new camary off last sunday to get detailed while she is on vacation all week. well needless to say that she is suppose to come pick the car up today and it has been storming pretty hard here since late last night.... she wont even make it out of my driveway without it getting dirty. almost feel bad charging for the detail...

That's how I learned to spit shine car wax. I was applying Meg's #16 when it just started to drizzle.
