Indeed you do. MILTON was washed on Sunday , yes in the rain, he had a dirty bum after a good run on Saturday.

I was alarmed to see where the raindrops had started to dry out there was "sand". I stopped washing and rinsed it off.

This morning the car is covered in sany residue from the overnight rain.

I am sure if i had carried on washing, i would have make a mess of Saturdays pre run waxing!

I'm guilty again today. I wanted to do the whole car, but it wasn't worth it, so I just did the wheels.
