to wash or not to wash?
to wash or not to wash?
It is supposed to rain tuesday and I would like to wash my truck today. Seems like when I look at the weather and it says sunny the next few days and I decided to wash the truck it ends up raining instead. Think it will be the opposite now? I don't know if I want to test the theory or not.

Wash it, put a coat of Zaino on, and you'll be good for when the rain comes

I think it's a proven fact (I think I read it somewhere)that if you wash your truck it will cuase it to rain, if you wax it will pour,LOL. Well maybe not proven fact but in my case it always rains 1-2 days after a good washing. My soon to be mother-in-law has actaully forbid me to wash my truck on days she has plans to do something outside, LOL, JK.
