HELP: Long trip ahead, GF says "No 'Car Stuff'"

I'm about to do a 660 mile road trip, from Louisville to Myrtle Beach, for the holiday weekend. I know, between the cicadas and the interstates, it's not gonna be pretty upon arrival. So I was gonna stick some QEW, WAUD, and tire foam in the back for a "quickie" once we arrive. But the girlfriend says, "Jim, no car stuff this weekend. Please?"



Dilemma: Do I sneak it on board, somehow, and watch for my opportunity while she lays by the pool, or just hose it off at a do-it yourself place and do the vacation with my battle scars? :nixweiss

Explain to your GF that vehicle maintenance never takes a vacation.

If that doesn,t work, tell her you just can not fully relax and enjoy your time at the beach (and with her) if your vehicle is dirty and dead bug guts are eating away at you clearcoat.



Best option. Take her car. :D
 
Come on man, you're on Autopia! You know you're going to take the stuff with you! :D I'm betting that you are like the rest of us and can't stand your car being dirty--even for a just a day or so. :p



I'd say take the stuff with you. Sneak out in the middle of the night or something with the QEW.:D



Being a mobile detailing, ALL of my detailing stuff is in my car at all times, so I never run into this problem, hehe.:lol



Good luck with the sneaky wash.

OK, tell her in the most sincere voice you can come up with:



"Honey, you are way too beautiful to be riding around in a bu splatetred car and I am doing this for you"



She might buy it
 
A light coat of cooking spray on the front bumper before you leave will release the little devils easily when you wash, but I would not let them stay on there for long. When we went to Daytona a few weeks ago, after check in at the motel the wif went to the pool and I washed the car around back of the motel for an hour then joined her at the pool. Not a big deal. I don't see where 30-60 mins to clean up the car on arrival is a big deal. Sounds like time to negotiate.

Good luck!

:rofl Excellent!
 
I knew I could count on you guys! :D



She just might buy the compliment approach.



While loading the car, I just realized that one of my buckets was able to squeeze into my Playmate cooler! So I stuffed the QEW WAUD Tire Foam a wash mitt and several MFs in it and closed it all up. I don't think that will look suspicious.



Thanks for knocking some sense into me. I'll do the car while she checks us in and hauls all the luggage to the room













.....or maybe a little later.





Have a great weekend, everyone. Please remember what the holiday is actually about, too.

Definitely insist on taking her car and really give her the business about interests/hobbies *she* enjoys that you would rather do without. Glad I made an Autopian convert out of my gf ;) :)
 
Simply QEW'ing is not overboard in my opinion. It ain't like you bringing the pc and running it of the car's power and bringing out the 1Z's
 
Use the above compliments and then tell her that she can shop while you clean the car, but that if you can't clean the car, she can't go shopping.



Or, if you really are able to demean yourself, beg her. Some women just like to know what you are willing to do for her approval. Besides, if it works for taking car cleaning stuff, how kinky can she get for you when you beg. A good thing to know!!
 
Maybe you should give in, and take a break from your car detailing disease. After all, you will be on "vacation". Take a break.



Just think of all the fun you'll have when you return, detailing a dirty car.



Enjoy your vacation...:up
