Default Your Significant Other's Car

Okay let me start off by saying that the paint on my wife's car is not in very good condition at all. She mainly goes to a car wash to clean it and the very few times that I wash it, I hardly use my good cleaning products on it. So now she is looking to buy a new car and have a few in mind. Two of the four cars that she has interest in have black color paint. I told her that since it's black it'll be more effort to keep and look clean. When it comes to my own, I'm a clean freak especially since it's black. I'm starting to think that if she buys a black car then I'll feel obligated to wash the car for her AND use my good products. Again not so because she told me so but more with me and the look of having three very clean cars in the driveway. How much time do you guys spend in properly washing your ladies' car the way you do to your own car?

She has her own supplies: California Duster, microfibers, Ultimate Quik Detailer, Ultimate Quik Wax, waffle weave, Absorber, Ultimate Wash and Wax and a bucket with a grit guard. Washing duties split, buffing and waxing are mine. Supplies in her car all the time, except when golf clubs are in there.

Some days she swears at black, others she loves it. Just like us all!!!

Haha that's what I'm talking about.

I think she'll be expecting that I keep the paint in great condition no matter what the color is but more so if it's black. And trust me, she will not have her own supplies. "Grit guard, what is a grit guard?'

lmao. when autogeek had this free gift for spending over $150 one time. It was a bucket, grit guard, and soap I think. I split up my order so I got two of them lol. I gave one to my brother and one to her and was like this is all you need to handle it yourself from now on lol. I also gave them a mitt and some towels haha.
