Amazing the reactions that got !!!
The two guys (actually they work there with about 4) are of Turkish origin.
They work hard at running their little carwash business, and do a good job. in about 15 minutes, for approx $20 (cheap)
It's on my way home, and I'd rather stand there and have a smoke and chat to someone on the phone than do that job every week.
On the odd occassion that I do decide to wash it, it does take me about 2 hours to wash it, Chamios it, and vaccum out the inside, I can also spend a few hours cutting the lawn, but I'd rather drag the Harley out and go for a ride, or spend some time with my kids.
I'm not offended by ARD's comments, if his car is so precious to him that he worries about little swirls in the paint, then that's his right.
I would love to see my car perfectly clean, & shinny as he describes, but it just gets dirty all over again in the carpark at work.
cars are my life, and my work, I see 1200 a day when I walk around the plant. They really aren't that important to me anymore.
It will get dirty, it will get scratched, and it will wear out.
But it sounds like ARD really enjoys keeping his car cleaner than a new car.
and he does know a lot about all the other stuff too.
I'm assuming that he is a Garge tech, or Garage owner, or something, because he has a lot of hands on experience. most of which I leave to the experts in each of their diciplines.
I am more than capable of doing almost any job on a car, or Harley, but half of the time, I'd rather let someone else do it (lazy I guess) or just time management doing the things I enjoy ! have a nice day :thumbup:
