Default Now it is raining - time to wash car
It is raining here in north London and I'm thinking of washing my black beast by two bucket method.
Any thoughts

Why bother?

Bucket and sponge is better than 2 buckets?

Why do you want to wash the car in the rain

It will be covered in muck again after 1 hour (London smog becomes soluble during rainfall).
