Darn those inevitable sprinklers!

Darn those inevitable sprinklers!-x8pev8g.jpg

Just washed my car yesterday and this already happened...I can't avoid it because it's the only available parking spot at my house. My dad has the garage and my mom is on the side of the driveway that isn't affected by the sprinkler, while I get the side of the driveway that is affected by the sprinkler.

What can I do to get rid of all these spots? Can I just do a quick spray with the hose? I have no shade where I park and the sun is always shining here in Florida with temps easily in the 80s, so I don't know if the quick spray with the hose would actually cause more damage.

I don't want to have to re-wash my car every other day, so I've been thinking about buying a car cover to deal with this.

If you keep it waxed,that stuff usually will just wash away with the hose.
Can you turn down the sprinklers or how far they spray?
