What combo to use next?
Hey Guys;
Just thought I'd vent a little. I was driving to work in my little blue RSX, when I saw ahead (about half a block) a couple guys in the street with a machine. Couldn't really tell what they were doing, but I wasn't really awake enough to care. As I got closer, I realized that it was one of those "cement cutters"--you know, the ones that spit the water over the blade and make a gash in the cement? Little did I know that the area I was about to drive through had already been "scored," and all I heard as I flew by was the familiar "swish-swish" as If I'd gone over a puddle. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
You know what happened next. I pulled over, looked at the side of my Trade Secret-donned car, and saw splatter marks of cement all down the side. Now, it's not as bad as it seems, though. You see, It comes off rather easily, like it was a thick & dry mud substance, but I ran to one of those solar car washes to blast it off. Since I have about 4 coats of really good wax on here, it all blasted off in a matter of seconds. That is, until I peeked in the wheel wells. They were bright TAN with cement. AHHHHH again! Blasting, blasting I did, but I knew that if this is under here, my undercarriage must be just as bad. Sure enough, that night I threw Ol' Blue up on the ramps to reveal concrete splatter all over. On the block, the exhaust, over brake lines, EVERYWHERE. I grabbed some Palmolive and went to work with a scrub brush and a towel. I got to halfway down the car and got all pooped out. I'll be finishing the rest of the bottom tomorrow.
At least it looks like new again down there!
Console me.
