It's in the Details

Just got tis from my daily indulgence for mums newsletter and tis is not juz good advice but exactly wat i need!

after going to the car-wash the last couple of times, i m disappointed tat despite the convenience, the car's not tat clean.

so i handwashed my car myself last thurs. the armorall wash & wax is a joy to use. onli a capful needed to create a small pail full of foam enuff for the entire car and even the rims. plus the car is so much cleaner.

i applied leather care and armorall to the interior but i haben got ard to vacumning the car and there's so much sand and crumbs everywhere.

QQ spilled half her tub of Froot Loops (sugar coated colourful cereal balls) in the car last week and i'm still spotting colourful cereal balls now & den.

i actualli enjoy washing and grooming the car. wat a man thing to say.

oh, another thing to complain abt, i juz discovered a dent in my front bumper tis evening.

wat's the moral of the story? u can b the best parallel parker in the world, but there's no guarantee the car in front or behind u are.

sigh...wat to do...i agree wif the statement tat the interior of the car belongs to u but the exterior is public


Apparently, Ford does not offer an interior upholstery selection called Cheerios & Juice. This comes as a surprise to most moms, as the inside of our cars are lined with the stuff.

If you haven't seen the floor of your auto in a while, it's time you got yourself (and your ride) a little treat: Get the car detailed.

The car is probably your second home (in fact, many of our cars are larger than our actual homes, but that's a topic for another day), and you eat more meals in it than you care to admit. Those of us with newborns might even admit to sleeping in the car -- once we've pulled into the driveway, of course -- because the baby has finally fallen asleep. The result is one messy vehicle. Cookie and cereal crumbs have made their way into every crevice.

Detailing, which involves some fastidious-type person going over the car with the equivalent of a Q-tip, ensures that no one will hear the noise of roaring animal crackers anymore. Plus, you'll get your carpets shampooed and your vents dusted (go on, take a peek at what you've been breathing in). Look for a local detailer in the yellow pages, or ask around at car washes. Your mechanic might even provide the service.

Since your car is your castle these days, treat yourself like a queen and get it truly clean. We can't promise it'll stay that way, but a spick-and-span car certainly ought to encourage tidier behavior in your passengers!
