Do you look at weather reports before you wash your zed?

Re: Do you look at weather reports before you wash your zed?
Yes, though often 'looking out of the window' works for me... And with Operation Auntie Ned complete I am now able to complete drying and polishing under cover... In fact my car is very excited that it will be getting it's first wax very soon

I always check the weather forecast to make sure it won't rain on the day I'm doing it. Beyond that I'm not too concerned.
In fact both my Honda Civic daily snotter and the Z4MC may well get a wash today - forecast 11c and cloudy (but dry) where I am. Perfect washing weather.
I'm also going to have a play with my new Megs G220v2 today on the Civic - just going to wash, clay and machine polish/wax the bonnet so I can get used to it.

I saw the weather report and promptly ignored it because the sun's been shining all morning, I'm at home, etc so I gave my new Z her first polish, after a good wash and dry. The post man walked by and said 'that's a nice car you've got there!', and someone else drove by quite slowly gawking at my car
On a side note, I'm KNACKERED! lol. I must be getting old

Re: Do you look at weather reports before you wash your zed?
I normally check ... not that it always helps because the weather reports are often sooo wrong.
Tomorrow, for example, is car washing day! And it has been a while because the weather has been so cr*p so consistently that it has been almost impossible to get a clear day that isn't sub-zero to wash on.
The forecast for tomorrow is cloudy with a max. temperature of around 7°C. That'll do. The forecast for the following two days is cloudy with occasional snow (ugh). So, a nice wash and clean tomorrow, then the Zed goes under its cover for a few days until the weather clears up again.
Really, really hating this winter.
