Getting rain marks off freshly washed car!
Discussion
So spent several hours washing/clay barring/Megs 3 stage/fast glassing the car today for a car show tomorrow, and it's spitting with rain on and off...
I did consider going out with a towel and drying it off in the dark but the neighbours think I'm odd enough already and it'll probably rain some more in the night.
Any ideas how I can get it all sparkly again tomorrow morning assuming the water will have dried and left marks? Detailing spray/towel? If it's still wet from the rain I'll dry it off with a towel.

Rinse off with clean water - chances of debris in the air having settled on the car is fairly high.
Duragloss Aquawax is quite good for removing any calcium deposits from hard water or in the rain.
Of course, if you can front the outlay on one of these - http://www.daqua.co.uk/divessels.htm - then for the next 12 months (depends on hardness) in all likelihood, a final rinse/sheeting off with that will permit you to be lazy and leave the car to air dry or let you dry it at your leisure without worrying about water spots occurring.

After drying with a decent drying towel use a quick detailing spray...Clearkote QD is top stuff, Meguiars and Chemical Guys also make similar products. These can be used as clay lubes, drying aids and for a quick touch up between washes and for removing bird lime....if you are quick enough.
