OK, so I was having a real hard time returning my car with 2 pounds of bug splater on my paint. So, once we got back to the factory, we did a little hunting. Right down the street there is an Esso station with an 'Auto Washe'. I checked it out, but with those spinning brushes, there was no way my car was going through it.
I had found a hose there and was spraying the nose of my car to loosen up the bugs. Then Ina got to talking with a lady that was putting her car through the 'Auto Washe'. She told her that there was self wash place right around the corner. We went there and got to work. I broke out the Zymöl clear and a couple of micro fibers and I was able to give her a proper wash job.
I was really worried that my car might be sitting around with these bug guts etching their way into my paint. It made me feel a lot better to clean the car before returning it. Anyone who feels the same way I do who is planning a Tourist Delivery may want to mark this address down: 'Gottfried Keller Strasse' Longitude: 9.15945E Latitude: 48.83512 N. It's literally 2 1/2 blocks from the factory. Bring 5-10 euros worth of coins with you and you'll be set.
OK, I couldn't put it off any longer. We returned to the factory and unloaded the car. I took about 40 close up pictures of the car, just in case it shows up damaged, and we were done. It's going to be a long 6-8 weeks. One last hug, until we meet again......
OK, I was sort of kidding with that picture. But I thought you guys would enjoy it. Now the countdown begins again, until my car is back home.
Thanks for reading and encouraging my writings. It's been a lot of fun, and writing it all down like this allowed me to relive the best parts all over again.
