Car Wash

I had been thinking about taking my car to a car wash for a while now. I did some leather "wiping / conditioning" inside over the weekend, but the exterior looked very dirty. I did attempt to clean it myself a week ago, but I didn't do a good job. Water-marks and dust built-up just developed quickly. My car needed the professional touch.

I decided to go to the one near the freeway this morning. I hastily cleaned up the junk I had in the car before I left home, just so the vacuuming or dusting elsewhere would be easier. When I arrived at the car wash, I noticed that their price had gone up. Immediately I changed my mind and drove past it. Yea, it was just $1 dollar increase, still, I wasn't going to do it. The reason? Me cheap, and last time I went there they didn't do that great of a job.

I decided to go to another car wash that I had only seen but not been to before. It was farther, and I actually wasn't sure of their price. 15 minutes later I found it, and was surprised that this place cost another $1 more than the first car wash! Sigh. I could just leave and go to work, but I didn't. I thought I would give them a try. Perhaps they would do a better job than the one I almost went to earlier. Besides, my car really was begging hard for a good wash.

Well. This place did ok. Inside there was still some water dried spots. Outside my car looked fine. I guess unless I went for the "deluxe detail package," the regular car wash would always be just so so.

Still. Better than none.
