Drive em, Don't hide em.
Carry some quick detail, Glass cleaner + some clean terry towels / Micro fibre cloths in the boot. It will sort 99% of traveling detail needed. |

I'm assuming he's more annoyed that after all the work he put into cleaning the car, for it to get dirty again within an hour is a pain in the backside.
Happened to me before the last Sydney cruise. Washed and polished the car, looked like a nice day, then it POURED raining that night. Actually it seems to happen to me a lot. Wash the car Satudray arvo, then Monday when it's time to go to work it's raining :(

My car's constantly dirty! One time, I had the car sitting out in the sun after just washing it. Then when we had visitors, they drove their Landcruiser straight through the puddle of water that I left when I washed the car. They splattered mud all over the back of the car. Didn't even last half an hour!
