Thumbs down Murphy's law working at its best!!!!

So I decide to wash all three cars for the first time in about 2 years (lexus does it for free) and I just finish wiping down the last drops of water after 3 hours of vacuming ,washing and waxing and the biggest crap filled bird decides it wants to do diarrhoea all over the freshly washed cars. I swear, if I ever catch that bird I am going take it to the vet b/c there is seriously something wrong with it. Well needless to say I ain't going to wash the cars for a long time again, it is just not worth the pain.
End of rant...

I think Starfire is a great target for birds. I'm constantly cleaning up bird poo every time I take the F out.

I have a similar problem. It seems almost every time I spend a decent amount of time washing, waxing and detailing my car it rains the next day

Most dealers do, some say only with service. But it's an automatic one and they always leave water marks from improper drying. Or maybe I'm just too picky despite a free car wash?

lmfao...hilarious...

My problem is everytime I wash the car, it WILL rain, that day, wherever I am driving. If you want rain, let me come to your city and wash my car.

I hope it's with the top up, having bird poo INSIDE the car would be even worse ...

Oh man, that completely sucks.

I washed all 3 of my cars before I left for Hawaii, but as I cleaned them I put them in the garage (except the lex ... it sits outside now so it kinda needs cleaning again and I just got back)
