Washing your car in the rain
Damn, it's gonna rain this weekend!!!
I really want to clean off the bugs on the front of my car (before they cake in) as well as the mud streaks along the sides and back (from the previous rainstorm on Monday/Tuesday).
Does anyone see any problem doing this in the rain?

I don't see anything wrong with that, although your neighbors might think you're crazy. Do you have a garage to put it in afterwards or is it just in your driveway? I definately would wash it if there's bird droppings or tree sap on your car because it could eat into your paint.
I've washed my car in the rain before but it wasn't raining when I started washing it. In the middle of my wash, it started to rain. No big deal. I just finished it up and brought it in the garage to dry it.

LOL. Actually, I've done that too. Sometimes, when my car is too dirty, I can't wait for the morning to wash it so I do it at night.
A detailing spray is just a spray you use to lightly clean your car on a regular basis. It is not abrasive or a wax. There are many on the market like Zaino Z9, Meguiar's, etc.... Go to any Kragen or Pep boys and there should be half a dozen different ones to chose from. They're about $6-$7 bottle. As to which is the best? Who knows. I personally think most are the same except Z9 might be a little better but you can only get that at the Zaino website.
