Lazy Saturday activity: An impromptu decision to wash the car and use clay bars.
My Jimny came home in the month of October, 24. Since then I had planned multiple DIY projects on the car. Just like ‘planned Goa trips’; those never materialized.
I have since October bought a bottle of ceramic wax polish, clay bars, microfiber clothes, hose pipe with spray nozzle, etc but could not buy enough time to use them.
Come February the first; I forcefully kept my physical body at home and switched off from con-calls and the daily grind. I took the opportunity to attend to my car as soon as the missus and the kid snoozed off in the afternoon.
I wanted to wash, dry and apply the Turtle wax ceramic spray on the car all at a go. But I grossly underestimated the winter sun and the so called ‘small’ footprint of the Jimny. In order to apply ceramic wax, I had to wipe off dust and grime from every inch of the painted surfaces. It was then I realized why car detailing is a painful job.
Using the clay bar was a new experience. I could easily remove bird droppings and tree sap stains just by sliding the clay over them. Knowledge from Youtube videos came handy. The surface of the car did become silky smooth after few passes of the clay. I used a lot of water to rinse the car and hoped that wiping it with micro fibre cloth will dry it instantly. But that did not happen. At least a novice like me could not manage it. So I left it to dry and called it a day.
