Hi there, The meaning of 'quite that' in that sentence means the same as ' quite so', which is a slightly less strong way of saying 'so'. In fact, the phrase 'quite so' is very common: 'I had never seen a building quite so big' - Means the same as 'so big' but with slightly less emphasis. 'Quite that' is the same but slightly less commonly used than 'quite so' 'I didn't think the meeting would go on quite that/so long' 2) The 'make me' is absolutely fine in sentence 2. 3) The phrase 'no use' is an informal way to say that something didn't work or solve the problem: 'My computer stopped working. I tried restarting it but it was no use' (restarting the computer didn't work) 'We were lost, we tried asking someone for directions but it was no use, they didn't understand us.' (asking for directions didn't work or solve the problem) With your sentence, you had the car washed and it was successful, so you wouldn't be able to use no use here. Washing the car was successful, it was only after that it started to rain. In your sentence, a better phrase would be: 'I had my car washed, but it was a waste of time, because it rained soon afterwards and got my car dirty and wet' Here is a different context where you could use 'no use' in this sentence. Remember 'no use' is also quite informal: We damaged the side of the car. We had the car washed to try and cover up the damage, but it was no use because they noticed anyway'. So in the sentence above, the cleaning of the car didn't work because they still noticed that the car was damaged. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

1) Quite here is used to mean 'all the way'. It is a rhetoric question that can be translated as 'A fashion sense that old?'. Such a usage of 'quite' is fairly limited to the Central Americas and we generally do not apply it in formal usage. 2) This is not odd at all and is a valid response. 3)This is, again, not odd but we say " it was of no use". Include the 'of'. Also, other choices are 'it was of no avail', 'it was of no effect'.
