We had some record-breaking temperatures this past week as pictured here, in fact the OBC continued up to 97 degrees while driving on the highway! With the weekend in the 80s I was able to do some of my usual spring cleaning much earlier than usual.
Actually things started a full week ago when I got yet another windshield installed. In less than a year mine had developed two cracks in addition to hundreds of pits, thanks to pothole stones and sand from the extra nasty winter. For the last several months the windshield seal also leaked water into the passenger footwell every time it rained…extremely annoying! As always it was refreshing to get a new windshield and a nice clear view again.
Temperatures only just started to finally stay above 40 degrees two weeks ago, so on Saturday it was time to change from snow tires back to summers–but it was a bit unusual to do it on an 85 degree day! I decided to take full advantage and start my spring cleaning process. Wash, claybar, wash, machine polish, wash, and wax. Exhausting to do both projects in one day but it’s much nicer to be driving in a clean car again!
There’s still more to do when I get another nice weekend day such as the interior and much of the service I previously posted about. But it was a treat to get a small preview of summer in April!
Speaking of summer, MINIsOnTop 2009 will be in June, and registration is over this weekend. Send them in now!
