Polished the Audi at the weekend. My shoulder still hurts - the pain is incredible I wish I'd invested in one of those electric buffers. (Might even buy one of those really fluffy cats and cover the car in fish paste - that would fix the washing and waxin!) Why is it that you always find a new dent or scratch when your car needs to look it's best. Bird turd seems to eat into the paintwork (are they eating acid now) and I had to use a VERY VERY mild cutting paste on a couple of areas. The birds are pretty careful to drop a colour which shows up - white cars get black or purple turd and my purple car gets white turd. Your'e not telling me there isn't a greater intelligence at work here.
Before you ask IT WAS a special occasion - we went to a reunion ball and I could have died - loads of the guys were wearing the same outfit as me?!!??!
(It was a black tie event though but no-one warned me there would be so many 'penguin outfits' there.)
A quick word of warning - when you put polish on the glass you will not see out because of a smeary mist appearing which even the wipers do not clear so I had to drive home in my Tux with my head out of the window at 2AM! Got home and washed the flies out of my mouth. My wife used glitter everything - glitter hairspray, glitter nail varnish and I got covered in the stuff - the car interior looks like a Christmas decoration and I'd swear the glitter had got into my mouth!
