Brownie Points

Gentlemen,

Please take the time to go all OCD on your shower door. Yes, you have already taken the time to wash her car from stem to stern and removed all the scratches, bird poop, pollen and what-not. You even polished the tailpipes.

What did she say?

"Oh, yes. The vehicle looks terrific. Thanks for, umm, doing your job."

I'm tellin' ya... apply your detailing skills to the shower door. Good things shall come your way

Yes, pics are required. It's a freakin' translucent shower door, but here is the pic and the process.

3 passes of water and vinegar at 3:1 ratio
Lysol All Purpose Cleaner (lemon scented)
Windex Fragrance Sensations (Mountain Berry)

Still not clean enough.

1 pass of Mother's Chrome Polish
Windex again
3 applications of Rain-X

Not to mention the purchase of a 12" squeegee to use after every shower.

Totally worth the hour and a half I spent on this project, and I ain't talking about the cleanliness of the shower door

Is that wall paper, scratch-n-sniff? kidding....


I actually clay our glass. We have a frame less custom shower door so it gets clayed 3-5 times per year but I make Carlota (our helper) use Spray way or Stoners every other week. And yes after every shower, the squeegee is used.

She does nice work.

Your hood looks good...cheers

Ha, I knew I would catch some **** over the wallpaper!

The inside of the house is hers, the outside is mine

I too clayed the glass once, but didn't tell her about it.
She didn't notice.

I told her about it this time.
She noticed

Don't sweat it, we have been dealing with "wall paper" since we moved in. Our bathroom is the last room with it...it comes down next month.
