I have had this long standing fear of the spray nozzles
people use to clean their cars at a car wash. My fear has two categories:
#1-The power and pressure that the sprayer has
and
#2-The issue of running out of time and/or coins before your
car is really, truly clean
It sounds silly but seriously those sprayers hold soo much
power. I had a neighbor that went to the
wash one day and the water blasted the paint right off her vehicle! Ever since
then I have been determined to avoid the high pressure soakers and instead find
other methods to clean my car.
The other form of stress in this whole silly process is that
there is clearly a time limit to the cleaning you do. However they never tell
you how much time you have left so you gotta be prepared with all your loonies,
toonies or car wash tokens. I feel like it’s a ticking time bomb or a game or
perfection- you never know when your time will be up. If that’s your last coin
and your still spraying those soapy bubbles, well I guess that’s too bad for
you.
I’ve had my ’91 dynasty since October 2009 and I’ve only
washed it once. How horrible- I know! The one time I washed it I went to one of
those drive through, no touch machines. This was nice because I didn’t get wet
or have to hang onto that powerful water- blasting nozzle. But yesterday I did
it!!! I washed my car with the pressure hose and it wasn’t soo bad, still
powerful but not as terrifying as I thought. The force did startle me at first,
causing me to scream but I got a grip (of the situation and the sprayer) and
got it done!What a good day!
I was lucky to have my friend Jazzmine there for moral
support and to document the process. It went by quicker with her assistance and
it’s always nice to be around another person. Thank goodness for helpful
friends!
Jazzmine helpin me clear out the back seats before we vacuum
I have been thinking for a few weeks that I need to give my
car a good cleaning inside and out before winter comes. It’s been getting
colder lately so doing this today seemed like the best possible time for such a
task. I had my work cut out for me, this past Saturday I was looking for
something and I saw a bunch of sand on the floor and on the back seats. I
honestly have no idea where it came from (I haven’t taken my ride to the beach
or anywhere sandy this summer) but I vacuumed that all up. My best friend Anna
has been teasing me about my clutter filled car for ages I just laugh that it
took me this long. I am very aware that my fear of the car wash has nothing to
do with the cleanliness of the inside of my dynasty. That I attribute to being
busy/putting more important things first or maybe laziness depending on the
day. Anyways my ride is currently nice, clean and ready for winter and all I
had to do was vacuum out the mystery sand under the mats/back seats and blast
off the dirt and bird poop. I figure it’s a good time to turn over a new leaf
considering I turned 20 yesterday. Time to conquer those fears. Now to fix my next
irrational fear….
All clean!!!!
