  • Cute detailing story

    This may not go here, so mods, you can move it if need be, but a proud dad wants to share a cute detailing story.

    Last night I went out to wash the wife's car and my 3 and 1/2 year old wanted to help like always. He mostly just wants to play in the water and soap and spray water everywhere but where it needs to go, but what ever he is 3. So I had my two buckets set up. My soap bucket, and clean water bucket. He always likes to have his own sponge so I give him a little clean cloth wax pad that I figure he can't do any damage with and I just make sure he doesn't drop it on the ground or rub it in the dirt or what ever. So I hosed the car down and had started washing the wheels and he had started his thing with his sponge. Then I look over at him looking at the clean water bucket and he turns around and say "daddy, it goes in here first, then there (soap)". It almost brought a tear to my eye I was so proud. I had not taught him that.

    So, it just goes to show that these little ones watch every thing we do and say. Good or bad. And he isn't a bad at vacuum either I must say.

    Take care

      Cool story man,

      I always have my little 8 year old wanting to help wash my truck or my wife's van. He's been my little helper for a few years now.

              That is awesome! I remember as a kid waxing the car with my Dad. I was about 8. We used Turtle Wax in a glass bottle on our 86 Buick Century.

                Great story, thank you for sharing.

                You know, our first thought was to move this to "The Break Room" section of MOL but then we figured hey, it's a lesson in how to properly use the two bucket wash method. That lesson?

                It's so easy, even a three year old can figure it out!!!

                And so it will remain here in Detailing 101.
