I digress, back to actually cleaing my Jetta for a change. Another green reason for me to use this Lucky Earth spray, is that it does not use harmful fumes, or toxic residues. Instead of water, this cleaner works with two reusable microfiber towels--one for buffing and one for scrubbing. The solution is made from organic coconut to break down dirt and contains water-soluble silicone, which captures dirt so it doesn't scratch your car. A 32-ounce bottle lasts seven to 10 washes and costs $14.99. You can buy it online or at a Whole Foods. They also sell a tire shine, but I haven't tried it. Next time.
Sure, it wasn't as easy as throwing buckets of soapy water on your car and quickly spraying it down, "but let me tell ya it's better that diggin' a ditch!" Sorry, I just had to throw in that Car Wash lyric. Anywho, yes, this earth-friendly way of cleaning my Jetta definitely required more elbow grease, but my car looked incrediably shiny after, like it just got detailed. I also spent a beautiful day out in the sun and felt pretty accomplished.

The car looks great, Tara! I'm always a little suspicious of anything that traps the dirt on the cloth for an extended period of time because, as you say, of scratching, but they seem to have figured it out. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteBut -- I have to lament. If we go to something like this, how in the world is a guy supposed to get into a friendly game of hose-squirting with a pretty gal like yourself? Using a $15 spray bottle of stuff just doesn't seem as romantic. ;)
Nice! Living in an apartment where we don't have access to a hose/water this is a great alternate solution.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Tara.
Wow! That's pretty impressive. Might have to look into that...
ReplyDeleteI got my car two months ago on the 17th and haven't washed it. It seems that everytime I go to wash it it rains.
