Well it was kinda a funny story .... wife has been begging me for a SUV since the baby showed last year. I have been relucant as her car is paid off, she stays at home, and the car is a beautiful 03 CTS with less than 25k miles with most toys and a pearled clearcoat paint.
So this morning I got the bug to detail the heck of the the engine. She thought I was nuts but it wasnt looking anywhere near respectible and clearly was the only eyesore. Used some DP Exterior Cleaner , which made relatively quick work of the dirt and dressed up the lines with some 303. Even added a new in cabin air filter.
So off we go to have some lunch and run some errands. Got over near a local Cadillac and decided to see whats in stock. (I really wanted to see the new STS-V in person, as only car I would sell the Vette for currently). My wife see's a dark charcoal grey SRX and needless to say it appears she is getting one super Mother's Day gift.
They offered top dollar for her car as they could not believe the shape and look. (First funny remark from salesman) "That car is beautiful have you had it stored ?? I have never seen a car that didnt look touched." When the manager came out to price the unit, they opened all the doors, trunk, and hood. The salesman is pointing out each door jam and how they sparkle (thanks Clearkote Quikshine). Finally they got to under the hood (full circle from where this day started) and all the salesman could do was give me thumbs up. The salesman finally says to me later "no offense as I am suppose to sell you a new car, but why would you get rid of something that most would consider new". I replied ...."you gotta wife ??"
So tomorrow morning as long as the deal holds true, the wifey will have a new ride. And I will need a ladder and some more time and a new test bed for more products. In truth she deserves everything I can give, and her's and my son's safety are the most valuable consideration. Now onto measure the garage, as I need to make sure it fits.
