Confession time. I don't take very good care of my car. It's an 07 Nissan bucket so I sort of just let things pile up until things get out of control and then I empty out the trash, rinse and repeat. Yesterday when I was emptying out the trash I discovered that one of my offspring didn't throw away his chocolate milk and with my admittedly crazy driving, things took a turn for my interior, not to mention the dirt and the crumbs and everything else in there. I felt sick. How could I let my poor little rust bucket go so far?
So decided it was time. I'd driven in an embarrassingly dirty car long enough. It was time for my first detailing.
Now, I'm not made of cash. This isn't a Ferrari so I just wanted a place that would make it look decent again. After finding 5 Star Car Wash on yelp, I checked out their prices and doing them to be more than fair for what I was about to put them through. Their website also has great coupons that sweeten the deal. I drove up and spoke to the owner. He didn't lie, this was going to take a while. He also didn't try to upsell me which was even better. I handed them my car, parked my butt in the lounge with my laptop and enjoyed some quiet time. There is free wifi and everything. I was there a little over 2 hours but WOW was it worth it! I really, truly don't even recognize this car anymore. They did a fantastic job.
Needless to say, I've henceforth banned eating and drinking in the car... at least for a little while.
