Help with avoiding water spots on paint

Hey all.
For context, I have a 2019 Mustang GT in shadow black.
I got my car ceramic coated about two months ago and it is amazing, but I have one issue and that is water spots with the rain. Where I live rain can be sporadic and from what I’ve been told, I should wash my car after it rains every single time I’ve already gotten tired of washing my car basically all the time or not driving places because I know it’s going to rain and I don’t wanna wash my car basically every other day.

For example,
this week it rained a little bit today. It’s not raining now and it’s going to rain later today. Tomorrow is sunny then there is a possibility for rain every day for the rest of the week. I know if I leave the water spots in the direct sunlight it’s going to etch the paint. When should I wash my car? Should I wash it after every single time it rains or should I wash it after every rain cycle?

If there’s any other information that you all need to help me better, please ask. Thank you for all the help. Anything is helpful. More information the better.

Next mod

Hey! I’ve been wanting to do a new mod to my car. For context here is a list of what I have done now
Sway bars
YSR coil overs
93 tune
Air intake

I was wondering what I should do next. I’m wanting to gain a little more power but I could be swayed into doing suspension or something else.

I was originally going to get a whipple, but it is impractical and costly. I’m willing to spend a good amount of money, just maybe not whipped price.

I was thinking of few ideas: intake manifold, throttle body and a new tune. With that larger tries will be needed.

What do you all think I should do next? Thank you!

2019 Mustang GT – constant noise/ dash creak around A-pillar that comes and goes (dealer couldn’t fix)

I’ve had a really annoying creaking/clicking noise in my 2019 Mustang GT for about a year, coming from the passenger-side A-pillar/dash area.

Noise details:

Sounds like plastic tapping/creaking on plastic

When it happens, it’s constant and rapid

But it’s weird — it will randomly completely disappear

Example: I recorded a 2:45 video of it nonstop, parked, drove again, and it was totally gone

What’s been done:

Took it to Ford of Oxmoor

They said it was battery-related and “fixed” it → noise still there

Then blamed my Yellow Speed Racing coilovers

But:

Noise existed before coilovers

Still there after

Seems interior (not suspension)

At this point it’s driving me insane.

Anyone experienced this on an S550?

Could this be:

A-pillar clip

Dash trim

Wiring harness

Windshield trim

Any ideas where to check would help a ton. I have videos I can send to you if you fancy help with identifying the noise. Thank you!
