My kid just washed the dog with Meguiar’s wash & wax 😅.

Me “Watcha doing buddy?”
Him “Just washing the dog”
Me “Oh cool good stuff, thanks bud..wait with what?”
Go outside and he’s washing him with car wash..
Me “Oh no, we can’t use that on Bear mate, I’ll go get the dog wash”
Him “It’s too late, I already did it”

Of course the sun comes out when it’s home time. Who thinks the boss should be allowed an extra day off? 🙋🏻‍♀️

The thing I miss the most about being away from work is pies & coffee from OATES. Good thing I stocked up before we came on holiday 🤪. Currently enjoying a lamb and wasabi kumara mash pie in the sunshine for dinner 🙌🏻.

And following on from my last post, these results are using a headlight restoration kit with a uv protectant sealant. A jiff job doesn’t quite live up to the real deal but it’s still a good quick trick to get by.

I completely forgot to put up a vid! In the mean time heres a few pics of a quick headlight clean using.. plain old jiff. Toothpaste & cut and polish etc work as well. Ideally you’d use a proper kit where you apply a fresh uv protectant at the end which does do a better job and lasts alot longer but this works just fine for a quick clean. So if you’re having trouble with cloudy headlights, or you’ve failed a wof, whip out the jiff! Polish on with a rag in a circular motion with firm pressure and rinse. Ta daaa.
