A Karate Kid Moment...

... and another reason why it's good to have a small car.

Today, I waxed my car for the first time! :)

"Wax On."

"Wax Off."

I haven't waxed a car in years - I forgot that it's kind of a work out!
The only car I've ever waxed before was my Acura Integra. It was a compact car, and reasonable to wax.

But it was SO MUCH EASIER to wax my MINI! It's so small, and so curvaceous, that it was actually pretty fun to wax. (did I just say that?!) Didn't take too long - maybe about and hour & 15 minutes to wash, dry and wax. I was especially happy having the panoramic sunroof - it made waxing the roof a breeze. There was only a five inch parameter around the sunroof to wax!

She's so pretty & sparkly right now!
(that'll last about 2 hours, since the poor thing is parked outside on the street)
