Detailed the Ex-Girlfriend's Car - Photo

It's a Mazda 3. She has owned it for about a year now and has run it through the auto carwash quite a few times. I washed it, got all the scratches out with Scratch-x, spent an hour going over it with a clay bar, then put a coat of Ice on it. It turned out pretty nice for a quicky job and I love the shine of the Ice!

Nice job. I'm guessing the break up wasn't too ugly? With that title, I was expecting something a little more...

Nice job!
I think I'll have to put a couple of coats on my red PT Cruiser this weekend.

Forget the car, we want to see pictures of the eX girlfriend(!) Did she reciprocate by polishing anything for you? I like the sliver of a Mini in the background of your picture. Your true self shows through afterall.

You detailed your EX girlfriend's car??
Either you are trying to win her back, or she is only just now your ex once she realized how much time you spend pampering the car instead of her!

looks good!

She was my best friend before we dated. We dated for nine years and now, after the breakup, she's my best friend again. Unfortunately, she now lives in the bay area so I don't get to see her very often.

Yeah when I read the title i was totally expecting something like this:







That's really cool how you guys are friends though, I don't know if I'd want to be with my ex-girlfriends but this is obviously a different case.

Man that BMW is jacked up - broken windows, keyed, broken mirrors, paint. Plus it looks as though it was towed there because of the hook in the rear bumper.

Oh there was a nice message engraved(keyed) on the hood too... but I couldn't post on here for those reasons... The phrase starts with the letter F and ends with the letter U. I think you can use context clues on this one... But yeah that's cool you did that for your friend rick... I've detailed my girlfriends and their parents cars... but I kinda quit after we broke up. Prolly a good thing I didn't continue with all of them, that would be a huge cliental.
