Post no. 253
Im a very lazy person.
How lazy? My dearest very fast red vios is 1.5 years old. The number of times that i washed it can be counted with my 2 hands. The number of times i polish the car.... NIL.
In fact, sometimes, my car resembles a rally car. Not that its fast and furious and has lots of horsepower... it just look like one. Yes, it hard not to look like one with those dried mud streaks.
Some weeks back, i finally decided that enough is enough. I need to do something about the car.
And frankly, it was a job too big for me. I will most prob die from waxing/polishing my car...if i have to. And really, i dont know how to do a decent job.
So...i took it to a professional groomer.
Before the treatment..
Note the numerous white spots. Those are really not snow flakes..
Work in progress... its already looking good... The bonnet, at least.
Hes trying to remove my scratches from my bumper. Hahaha.... about a year back, i got into an accident and was compensated with $250. I never got around fixing those scratches..
Omg...its bad, isnt it?
Omg x 2... its really bad.
Work in progress..
Work in progress 2......
Work in progress 3.....
Still in progress....
And it has to rain... =( Sigh..
Check out the number of people fussing over the car.. hahaha...
Tada....
Tada x 2.....
Tada x 3...
Well, Vios is cleaned and ready for the new year... and i wasted one entire day for the grooming. EIGHT FREAKING HOURS! Thats how long i was there watching my car get grind down and polished. Sheese.... $105 dollars poorer.
I was just chatting with the groomer and he says if i send it in for regular polishing (i.e every 3 monthly), i will only need to go for the basic package of $38 dollars.
After very detailed calculations....
1 year = 4 times = 4 x $38 = $152
1.5 years = $152 x 1.5 = $228
I think i will see the groomer in 1.5 years time.
