What about heavy rainstorms? I live in Seattle and we get that a lot :/

Baker nailed it! You'll be totally fine in rainstorms, but you'll want to be careful on automatic non-touchless car washes. The water isn't a concern, but depending on the type of carwash, the brushes can get snagged on the frame and the brushes always win. Enter those at your own risk!

Should you damage your kit in a carwash, we can sell you replacement parts, but it's usually more hassle than it's worth. Hand wash that baby of yours or find a touchless wash!
