Took my new (to me) vehicle through the car wash in town for the first time. It’s much bigger than the Explorer I used to have. Now I have an Excursion, which is at least 50% larger, I’m sure. So trying to be efficient with my time, I took a spray bottle and rag with me and gave the interior a good wipe down while the car wash did the rest.
The car was dark. I would have been better off just relaxing and drinking my coffee in the car wash because you can’t detail in the dark! I realized this halfway through and put the cleaner away (besides not being able to open the window...choke, choke). Then I sneezed and spilled coffee, (fortunately?) on my leg, not my cloth seats.
Time to drive through the “spot-free” dryer, which is a joke. 60 seconds will not get you spot free. Plus, my car being a lot longer than I remember, I just got the windshield mostly dry.
IF ONLY they would keep the dryer on a timer for 2 minutes, I may have the chance for a spot-free dry. But then again, I doubt I would sit there for 2 minutes, especially if someone were waiting to get in.
When I lived in South Florida, there was this awesome car wash that you drove up to, picked your wash from a menu bigger than most diners have, wait in the waiting room, and 15 minutes later you’ve got a new-looking car, in and out. So worth the $25.
So now I spend $8 and have something to write about.
