  • thought i'd be a nice guy ....

    My work buddy mentioned he was taking his teenage daughter to a school play about an hour away from his house. We talk some more and hes telling me how shes a bit embaressed to go in his car. Its a subaru brumby - really shabby (a real work ute). So i thought id be a nice guy and lend him mine for the night - with the condidtion that if anything happened that he could just pay the insurance excess. Turns out the daughter was stoked to go in a much nicer car & was a popular topic of conversation for her & her friends. After picking the car up i headed off to mums. There is all these little dots all over the car - like you'd expect to see if you used a rotary buffer and didnt mask off properly. It could be tree sap or something or maybe like he drove through a spray booth. Anyway i got the clay bar out at home and gave it a whirl on the front window. It seems to do the job very well, but damn i relly dont need to spend another 8hrs making my car look lovely

    i wont be lending my car out again

    Sorry to hear of your mis-fortune, sometimes it doesn't pay to be the nice guy...

      Well look at the bright side. At least your friend didn't try to clean it up himself, with steel wool or sandpaper....
