Thought you guys would get a kick out the stupid length I went to so I was able to wash my car in shade today.

Connected it to the house and some random trees on our driveway

I just don't bother washing it

I think that's referred to as the 'Senator' effect.

I actually wish I could have an undercover area to wash my car all the time, it was so much better washing it in complete shade instead of washing it when it's overcast / later in the day.

Annoying that I had to go to such lengths, but I wanted the car clean for tonight.

i think there should be trade mark on that....

Or you can grow a set and wash it in the sun? That works well aswel

Well I guess for people who like water spots on the car and damaging the paint

Funny that, i never get water spots, and i'm willing to put money down that my paint is in better condition than yours

Its called rinse while you wash.

In Michael's case, it's called lubing up.

Also - washing in the sun isn't going to damage your paint per se, the problem is that products dry faster when exposed to sunlight, causing unnecessary effort to remove them.

Okay Clarence thanks.

I have always been under the impression that the water acts as a magnifying glass for the sun, and also putting cold water on a hot car is also bad for it. Not sure if either of those are true, but I know I wouldn't wash my car on a 30 degree day with no clouds unless I had shade, like the day was when I made that undercover spot.

Well put it this way, it's a lot nicer to be sweating in the shade than in the sun
Just spent today washing, claybarring, polishing and waxing both mine and my girlfriend's car. I'm knackered.
