We all see people doing things to clean or detail their car that make us cringe. Set their wash rag on the ground and then pick it up again and drag it across the car. Grab a rotary buffer with a wool pad and race across the hood with a little old fashioned rubbing compound to get those nasty tree stains off. Then there is the person who thinks their car is a pot or pan and whips out the brillo pad to remove the bugs. Not before lubricating the surface with their car wash solution which is a hefty mixture of dishwashing liquid and well water.
Well here is a new one for me. While visiting my mother the other day I noticed her neighbor doing a little cleaning on her car. Apparently she knew better than to use dish soap and abrasive rags on her car.
She found a new use for ammonia fortified Windex. I watched (a little stunned) as she proceeded to "wash" her entire car with paper towels and Windex.
I wanted to say something but she didn`t speak english well and I figured if she`s happy with the results then why should I.
