It started innocently enough. A little dust here, a splash of mud there. “I’ll wash it this weekend,” you thought, as you drove past Melville Car Wash without so much as a glance. But weekends came and went, and the sparkle slowly faded.
Now your car looks less like the sleek machine you once proudly drove and more like a prop from a disaster movie. What happened? Let’s retrace the steps of this tragic tale—and, more importantly, figure out how to give it a happy ending.
Step 1: The Dusting of Doom
At first, it was just a light layer of dust. Barely noticeable. You told yourself it added a rugged charm, a hint of adventure. Little did you know, this was the beginning of the end.
Step 2: The Bird’s Revenge
Next came the inevitable bird droppings. One day, your car parked under the wrong tree, and the birds had a field day. “It’s fine,” you muttered. “I’ll clean it tomorrow.” Spoiler: you didn’t.
Step 3: The Mudslide Mishap
A drive through some puddles after rain left your tyres caked in mud and your doors streaked with splatter. “It’s just part of driving,” you reasoned, ignoring the slow erosion of your car’s dignity.
Step 4: The Forgotten Bugs
Road trips brought a new layer of mess: bug splatter across your bonnet and windshield. They clung on like tiny, determined hitchhikers. And yet, you drove on, unfazed.
Step 5: The Sun’s Wrath
Days turned into weeks, and the Aussie sun baked every bit of grime into your car’s surface. What once could have been wiped away with a quick rinse now seemed like it needed industrial-strength intervention.
Step 6: The Judgmental Glances
The neighbours started noticing. Passersby couldn’t help but look. Your car wasn’t just dirty; it was a statement. And not the good kind.
Step 7: The Moment of Realisation
Finally, one day, you caught your reflection in a window. Not in the shiny surface of your car, but in the dull, streaky mess it had become. It was time to admit defeat—and do something about it.
How to Write a Happier Ending
Don’t let the tragedy continue. Head to Melville Car Wash and bring back the sparkle your car deserves. Start with the pre-soak to loosen the grime that’s been clinging on for dear life. Blast it away with the power rinse, then scrub away the stubborn spots with the gentle brush scrub. Finish with a wax coat, and your car will look as good as new.
Every Tragedy Needs a Comeback
Your car may have stopped sparkling, but it’s never too late to turn things around. In just 20 minutes, you can give your ride a glow-up worthy of its former glory. Because no car deserves to be the star of a tragedy—not when there’s a happy ending waiting at the wash bay.
Cheers,
Mel
