So SWEET to drive a Clean Car!

OK, driving 2,000+ miles, you are bound to come home with a car that is quite "bugged out".   Even going through the car wash, they don't want to come off!   So, need to scrub and scrub.    

Every so often, I like to use my scratch-off product, as there are usually small scratches that come from who knows where, but they come off pretty easily.

One of my REALTOR friends had on FB they were waxing their brand-new car.  OH MY, my car is almost 5 years old, and I have had it waxed once.    Guess it was time again.    OOPS, all the wax in my garage has been there for quite some time and was hard as rocks.   Well, crap, but clear in the back I found one "water-based" wax.    I waxed the hood, waited for it to "haze over", and buffed it off.    That was as far as I got!   🤣

Listening to the weather, sounds like either rain or snow is coming in on Tuesday, so it won't be super clean for too long.

I love keeping my car clean.   I can be OCD with messy and dirty.

Michael Elliott I am as well, and cannot drive with a dirty car, unless it is raining.

My car is always clean on the inside, but no so much on the outside.

Got the hood only huh?  lol   Not bad in that is shows the shine best of all, as well as takes the biggest beating from the sun.  Roof does not count because not so easily seen.  m

Joan Cox  I am with Albert Einstein these trivial things are not important. I have a box with plastic in my car in case I purchase plants - but I am not OCD about keeping my car clean. I have a friend who gets sick if her car gets a scratch on it. There are more important things to worry about

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty if it will rain, I always clean the windows, then I can't see the dirt on the outside so much while driving.  LOL

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho I was tired after washing, drying, doing windows, vacuuming, then that wax was not the easiest.  Think I will find a place that will do it for me.   Or, at least finish it.... LOL

Hannah, cannot tell you how many people want to buy my cars when I am done with them, as they know how I keep them.

Joan- when we lived in FL the love bugs were bad at different times of the year. You had to get those off quickly!  I'm not OCD about the car being spic and span.

Hello Joan - a clean car seems to run "better".  And one that is paid for may be "the best".  Vroom.  🚘

Good morning, Joan... it seems that as soon as I wash my car it rains the next day! I have an account with a local car wash company and have my car detailed there on a regular basis. Then again, I don't let me car get all that dirty in the first place.
