Was foaming my GFs and I`s cars today and a neighbor waved me down and asked if I could do theirs afterward. Said yes of course as I really enjoy doing it and I think neighbors are supposed to be neighborly. Not thinking much of it as I don`t notice cars unless they`re modified, she opens the garage and BAM. 2000 Chevy S U B U R B A N. That dark navy blue that has seen much better days. Welp, no turning back now.
My buddy shows up around this time because we were going to buff his headlights so he gives me a hand. I foam it with Dodo Juice Apple iFoam, 2 applications of Natural Look on the super faded plastics, PBW Glass cleaner inside and out, Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller iron remover and Supernatural wheel cleaner on the wheels. Bold N Bright on the tires. Wheels were no doubt untouched since it was at the dealership. I think I need a new wheel woolie already.
It looks as good as it`ll get without a buff, truly. The paint actually kinda shines now. Smells better too. Neighbors daughter comes running over and asks "How much?" I give her the "Don`t worry about it, I just like doing it!" So she runs back in her house and her mom comes out, looks over the SUV, smiles and says "Thanks." I asked her if she liked it and she has a weird tone and says "It looks okay for free..."
Not going to lie it bummed me for a bit. I wouldn`t have accepted a tip, but I guess the notion would of been nice. My buddy and I decided that she had seen us three stepping my car, and she thought we were going to do the same to her suburban in an hour free of charge. *jordan shrug*
Ended the night on a better note with some green onions and steaks on the grill! Everything`s better now! Ha!
