IMO - would not wipe off rain.&nbsp\\; Spary down with clean water, wash, rinse, then wipe off.&nbsp\\; Would think dust, sand, etc. in the rain.&nbsp\\;

I wouldn't even do that, this is where all the swirl marks in paint come from. Just spraying water is not going to get all&nbsp\\;the&nbsp\\;grime off the&nbsp\\;bike and that it what will&nbsp\\;scratch the paint. I see people all the time at hotels taking hotel&nbsp\\;towels and wiping down there bikes after a rain&nbsp\\;and it makes&nbsp\\;me cringe. &nbsp\\;
