Re: post car-wash

Yup...I learned that lesson. I always drive it to "dry it off" I find 80-100 mph works well

BTW, I have the same cover. I like it.

Very nice cover and the rust always comes off the rotors the next time she is driven.

I hope you are not serious. Driving the car to dry it off, then covering it? Wow what a bad idea, especially with black. I'd rather look at the surface rust for a while.

No, but nothing surprises me these days. I've actually seen posts where people wash, "drive dry", then wipe down with rag, then cover. No kidding.
