Today, Darren was on a mission to clean his car so of course, I jumped at the chance to help with a glimmer of hope that it would also provide some good blog-fodder.
Darren wanted to take me to his 'secret car washing spot' just out of Collingwood on Macdonald Road off Hume Street.
It's an awesome, self-serve facility that you purchase tokens for and are then let lose on a variety of car-washing options that cater to your every need.
I was in charge of token-processing and the soap jet. The funnel had an extensive cord that meant I could cover the entire perimeter of the car in soap without getting tangled in tubing and/or Darren.
Darren was hard at work scrubbing and after the first pass, I changed the soap setting to 'power soap' which was luminous green in colour and smelt of pine trees.
Here is D hard at work on the wheels.
After a good 8 minutes of car washing and waxing ( the wax also came out of the funnel in the form of a fine spray in the final stages of the washing cycle), we went outside ( in minus 1 with considerable wind chill) to vacuum the car from bonnet to boot with the most, hilariously high powered vac i have ever seen. I am surprised we didn't lose anything of note to the vacuum, it took no prisoners!
It was hard work, but worth it and now D's car is shining new and ready for winter!
And in other news:
1. One of my favorite restaurants in Collingwood, Tresoro, has expanded and it looks wonderful!
