My Experiments With Washing my Car

It is not often that I set myself up for work. Then again it is not often that my car pleads for a wash and fresh clothes. This time it threatened mutiny, I don’t know what else can we term violent jerks, shaky noises and a strangely adamant steering which refused to go left.

I presume all of you are aware of my views on early mornings. The view strengthened further after this escapade.

Washing is infectious

Looking at my car getting all decked up, some crows decided it is just the right time to clean their inner self. And I don’t know what gave it away but they figured since I am cleaning the car might as well use me for cleaning themselves. I had an early morning shower that I was so not looking forward to.

Washing Your Car Takes Time

If you ever enjoyed the quick 5 minute shower like I do, you will know what I mean by a quick shower. But my dinky is not me and nor is it you if you like quick showers, it takes its own sweet time. So we need to go under the wipers, below the bumper, and it has 6 frikkin windows. Then the never ending roof and the tyres that look more like scary bull terriers than anything else. Washing a car is not a 5 minute shower . Though it does compare itself to an amusing day.

Seat Covers are Mother In Laws from Hell

Now I haven’t had the luck of holy matrimony (or the misfortune.. whichever way you see it) so I my judgment of MiLs are purely hearsay.. no not MILF you perv. But if anything has come close to resembling the description of what I have heard it has to be car seat covers. Don’t get me wron, I love car seat covers and genuinely appreciate the work they do, but why do they need to be so in love with the seat.

If you thought washing the car was long, try removing the seat covers, I bet my front tyres that they won’t budge an inch in an hour.

Now let me not get into the holistic torture my car subjected me to in return of my favor to wash it. That should be kept for another post when I wouldn’t mind subjecting myself to those thoughts again. I think we should leave washing cars to the right people.. what say?

For now the lesson learnt is simple, don’t wash a beauty..just watch it., and I mean the car.
