She's a pain to keep clean but it's so worth it

She was plastered in bugs after driving from VT to MA last night so I gave her a good wash. This paint shows everything but damn does it look good clean.

In other news my dad fixed the rust on the Mini’s hood which makes me really happy. It’s just a 20ft fix but it looks miles better than it did before.

And the lawn guys just showed up and blew grass all over the side of it. Into the garage it goes!

At least it’s not rain. A quick swipe with a microfiber cloth and it was all good.

Looking good.

Great colour, lovely lines to mould your hands onto*.

*Sorry, I’ve very tactile when it comes to cars and washing them.

She’s a very shapely car. Lots of crevices for things to get stuck in. I actually had to get some tweezers out to pull bug remnants out from around the silver trim on the front bumper.

It looks much less sad than it did before.

It says alot about how the rusty and scratched hood made me feel that the most recent picture I had of the front of it was taken on a frozen lake in February. I had been subconsciously avoiding angles that showed the hood as the paint continued to peel away. The rust spots were probably 75% larger when I sent it south with my dad in August.

It definitely looks better now! Your dad did a real good job imo

I guess I just didn’t like that it’s broken now....
