Extra dirty G when it rains

I know cars typically get dirty when it rains, but it seems like my G gets extra dirty. the water doesn't seem to drip off the car, instead they just dry in place and leave huge water marks. It rained today and now my car looks like it hasn't been washed for 6 months. Anyone else notice this when it rains?

As long as you wax it, the rain should drip off. Mine does.

Automated carwash, gasp.

Always handwash your car, even if you have to go to one of those do-it-yourself jobs, automatic carwashes are a nightmare for your paint, and they dont do a good job.

Handwash your car, or pay a detailer, a lot of them will come to your work or home wash your car twice a month for a modest charge.

If you have water mark problems, dude WAX YOUR CAR wtf, this is like 'Im on fire and it hurts, it sucks guys' when you're right next to a bucked of water.

Give it a good wax before every season changes, your cars finish will be great.

OB water blade equle scratches. Use MR. Clean auto wash and spot free rince then no water spots and no (well less) swirl/scratch marks.
