Does anybody care about their car?

Today while stopped at a stop light, up beside pulled this SUV completely covered in mud. It doesn’t make sense as it’s been raining for the past couple of days but anyways, it looked awful. Maybe the person doesn't have anytime, or they do and are just lazy, either or this brings me to my blog topic, does anybody really care about their car? Most people don’t, or they think they do but in reality don't. How can you tell? Easy, ever see a car with covered in dirt with the words “wash me”?

Some say they only use the car to go from point A to B. That’s fine, I have no problems with that, but if your car looks like crap all the time going from point A to B, then that's a problem, your problem. Did you know that most people are judged by type of car they have and it’s appearance? If you’re a guy reading this, would you ever go on a first date with your car looking like crap? No cause if you do, you know it’s the last time you'll ever see her, she's going to tell the world too, and forget about getting to second base, ever. And ladies, you sure you want people to see the 350 pairs of shoes and bags on the front and back seat?

I’ve heard some horror stories from detailers that are friends of mine. For example, a friend was giving a vehicle to detail that had not been cleaned in the last 4 or 5 years. wait, your telling me that the person never once cleaned out the inside of their car since 2004? Are you kidding me? What the hell man, are you trying to breed a new type of species in your car? He was taking out stuff like maggots, ants, spider colonies, mold, god that’s nasty. I don't think I would come back for my car. Just burn at that point. Come on people, you’ve got to do better than that. If you don’t want to do it, get someone else to do it for you but at least a couple times a year, get your car cleaned professionally, it’s that simple. Tons of bacteria and germs can hide in our cars. The door handles, steering wheel, seats and seat belts, cup holders. I give a lot of respect to those detailers, a ton.

Think about this next time you’re in your car, a friend’s car, or a co-worker.
