Therapy....

I haven't been visiting Autopia as often as I like..I've been studying for the upcoming Deputy Chief's exam. After spending Friday morning and afternoon in the books and turning my brain into mush, I felt that I needed a break. I try to get a few hours of studying in at the firehouse when I work my night tours, but Friday night I said the hell with it!

I brought my F-150 into the station,vacuumed the dog hair out the interior ( I had to take the dogs to the "doggy detailer" Friday morning!) washed it, clayed it and applied 2 fresh coats of Carnauba wax to it... it looked Fantastic!!!

Tonight, it's the Jeep's turn!

Cleaning is good for you, works the heart, lungs and the rest of the body and allows the mind to focus on one small thing at a time.....and a car does not ask questions about your childhood

Don't forget that its a lot cheaper as well. I know we sometimes discuss this therapeutic experience that we get by detailing, but it is most certainly true. Sometimes I just look so much forward to waxing. I sometimes wax at 2 or 3 in the morning as I'm working at my part time job. There's a garage there so I definitely take advantage of that. Laters

Oh man, detailing is therapy!
Think about it. Like Don said, you can do it at 3:00 in the morning, or at the Firehouse. You don't need an appointment. Your vehicle will NEVER ask to hear her side of the story. And you can have a toddy while your detailing, with the Daytona 500 on the TV!
And you don't have to make a crummy appointment in the middle of your work day, that costs you 1/2 a days pay. Just bring your wax or QD to work, and do it on you lunch period. Arobics and diet at the same time.

Man, detailing is the ONLY Therapy!!!! Enjoy!!
