After Pa got a new eye, the car is mostly sitting in the carpark. i don't have a habit of driving to work yet. Unless i'm out of office for half the day. It doesn't make sense to pay additional parking fees when i can reach office in around the same amount of time on public transport! Anyway, the car is badly in need of a wash and so off i go for my first car wash! i think cos today's Sun so there's a queue at the car wash.
This might sound mundane but i think it's cool stuff! First, they wet the car to wash the dirt away. Then they splatter this mechanical bubble maker on full blast at the car. Awesome! It's really different watching them do their ritual on other cars and sitting through it yourself. After they give the car a little rubbing, they hose the car down. Next stop, wipe dry. Viola! As good as new and all these in under 15 minutes!
If i'm to do this myself, i'll take at least an hour! hehe. i remember when i was driving the ex-office pickup few years back, i would be washing the vehicle every other week. It's really funny cos everyone would be cleaning their brand new cars in the car park and i'm scrubbing an old pickup. But i like cleaning the two-seater vehicle. i think cleaning is therapeutic and it is a great workout. But now? i think i'd go for a manual car wash! :p
[Sidenote] Kinda miss the pickup driving days when everything's free and i just need to pay for parking! Have to thank those days too - for letting me hone my driving skills. Not that they are any good but i think i'm more garang when i'm behind a pickup than a saloon.
