Yesterday afternoon I brought my car to the car wash and it was cleaned (after about 30 minutes and 15 dollars plus tip lol). I parked the car at home, and took it out to bowling later in the evening. Then I park it on the driveway.

Today I get up, go outside, and see that my car is

A) Covered in water stains because my dad decided to water my car along with the grass.

B) Covered in bird crap because the local birds decided to fertilize my car along with the grass.

This motivates me to enact my plan that I thought of yesterday. I'm going to clean out the right side of our two car garage, and then install a garage door opener, and actually park in the garage.

'Why not park in the other side of the garage?' you might ask. Well, my mother enjoys parking her 98 Lumina in the garage and isn't about to give up her spot :-/ I can't really complain about that though.

I took some quick measurements and it seems like the car will just barely fit if I throw out tons of junk, and move a huge metal shelving unit over a few feet. However, I'm not convinced. Once I clean up the garage I'm gonna pull in the car before I install anything. Fortunately, the Mazdaspeed 3 isn't that big of a car.

I think I'll take before/after pictures and post them when I finish.

Fyi, you should never take your car to a car wash if you actually want it properly washed and not just wet

They do a pretty good job tbh. Believe me I was keeping a close eye on what they did and how they did it. I'm thinking of alternating between washing it myself and bringing it to the car wash.

Oh, I figured it was one of the shitty automated drive-through washes. Obviously though you don't tip machines. A proper wash can take a couple of hours though, and it's usually dirty within another couple days anyway :<

Yeah it's a no-in situation I suppose.

The place I go has a pretty good automatic washing system, and then a guy goes around the car wiping it down, cleaning the glass inside/out, vacuuming, and smearing stuff on the tires.

And my car got dirty within 12 hours rofl.

Take a close look at all the scrapes and shit it probalby put in your paint =p

My car is old, so I just take it to the hand wash place now, but back when it was still new (to me) I used to do it myself.

When I go to university there are "car guards" (basically, people that stand by a row of cars while you go to class) that will wash and polish your car for R10-R20, which is roughly 2-4$. Car always looks stunning afterwards, but I usually just pay our gardener to wash mine for roughly the same amount.

Hah, I wish my university police would actually look out for people stealing/backign into/smashing cars instead of being fat lazy fucks.
