Two years of dirt

When I first bought my car, I think I washed it nearly weekly. It was always spotless, inside and out. But over time, as with all things, the luster faded and eventually I was washing it every few months. Then I’d only have it washed when I brought it in for an oil change (the Honda dealership washes cars).

I don’t think I’ve washed it in the past two years or so. It was so filthy that you couldn’t really even touch it. I’d rub up against it on accident, leaning into the trunk or something, and my jeans would have black smudges on them. Pepper and I would grab the inside of the trunk to close it, because touching the back of the car was so bad.

It was 45 degrees and sunny today, so I dragged out the hose and went to work. It took three washings to finally get through the dirt, but the end result was pretty nice. It’s good to see a little shine again.
