I'm so ashamed ...

I had a really crappy day at work yesterday and decided to wash the car when I got home ...that always cheers me up. Its been raining here on and off for almost 3 weeks and the car was filthy.

Well, unfortunately I could not get my work issues out of my head and simply wasn't paying attention or getting any enjoyment out of it. Then, while drying the car I was mystified as to why the drying was so difficult and the towel wasn't gliding over the surface like it usually does.

I FORGOT THE HYDRO !!!!

So, I put the towel down, spritzed the Hydro, the drying went a whole lot smoother and my car looks great.

I can't believe I forgot the Hydro. Well, at least I remembered to put the car in the shade.

Now THAT is a happy MINI.

And I'm sure the MINI forgives you for your momentary lapse. Us... we'll get back to you.

Is that Hydro in the photo for product placement?

Hey looks great, but I'll bet if you park regularly under those trees you'll be cleaning the sap off on a daily basis

Where's the second bucket? When I am looking for a good therapy session, it starts with a good two bucket wash.

Looking good otherwise, I wish I had trees shading my driveway.
