Last week, My younger son was not particularly busy at the dealership where he works as a tech, so took my car in for inspection. it was set for a Wednesday and since i can generally come and go as i please, i had no need of the car that day. He called Wednesday late afternoon and asked if i needed the car Thursday, which i did not. it was not done. seemed unusual but what i did not know at the time, was that he was having the car detailed for me. something i often said i would like as a present instead of them not knowing what to get me.
I was thrilled!!!!
If i had known i would have cleaned out the trash, unloaded the 50 pounds of salt and 30 pounds of dog food, and generally taken out all the crap that tends to collect. sort of like when the cleaning lady comes.. there is a certain amount of pre-cleaning you do so you and your family don;t look like little piggies.
anyway..
the fellow worked on my car 3 hours. removed all the build up mold spores, buffed up the paint. cleaned the windows, the upholstery, the cup holders !!! when i got into the car.. it had the new car smell. even the tires look new! ok.. so i never had the car detailed since i got in 2003. it is 8 years old and looking good! 47, 000 miles, 3rd year i didn't have to get an emission test too.
during my first trip into town.... it was like the wizard of Oz. everything looked clean and bright. from black and white to color! (did i say that i had not had window cleaning solution all winter, and could hardly see out of the front or back windows?)
well you know how it is... you only think of the car when you are in it.. and once out.. the car ceases to exist.
thank you Ross, for my early mothers day present: clean car and the washer fluid too.
