Default REPORTING FROM SOUTH FLORIDA:what to do with rain rain and more rain

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> whelp, down in south florida and pretty much the rest of the state it's safe to say its been raining for 2 weeks straight! thats right folks! Not to say rain isnt good. But in a few days it is said to clear up for about 6 days all sunny. So today i washed my car, because rain or no rain i wash my car a minium of every 1.5 weeks to keep the paint in good shape and enbedded free!
(1) Would 1 coat of Zaino hold me off for another couple of days till i can wash it and really Zaino it up for the sunny nice weather?
(2) I ASK BECAUSE about a month ago, BEFORE I CLAYED MY WHOLE CAR, i drove in the rain for more than a week without washing it, and for the first time i got the embedded particles of fallout/dirt and stuff, only on my "roof" and rear of my car. So i had to clay it to get it out. Now i dont know if this was cauased maybe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> from dirt in drops of rain hitting my car at 75+mph when im driving and embedding in the clear coat? But it never happened before due in part to me polishing my car almost every week since ive had it.

Yea the Zaino helps protect against paint scratches and embeddment of small particles. I try to Zaino every weekend if possible, like you I live in South Florida. I live in Deerfield Beach actually, but I work in Boca.

This rain is friggin killing me. I would suggest trying to a get coat of zaino on in the morning as you know it rains EVERY afternoon. Get atleast a coat of Z2 or Z5 and Z2 if you can on etc.

Here's a pic of my car taken a few months ago when we actually had sunshine..
