Groan...
I have 2 little boys: Solomon, 2.5 years and Van, 3 months.
Obviously, Van is pretty easy going on the cars, but Solomon has been known to wreak a bit of havoc.... usually just easy things, like "helping" fix the car by putting bolts thought the holes in the wheels, or inside the radiator air intake in the wifes car etc.
On Saturday, he decided he would wash my Beetle for me.
My wife heard hissing noises and asked him what he was doing...
"I'm washing the car Mumma!"
"STOP!"
He was washing my 72 1200...
with...
an aerosol can of smooth silver hammerite! ARGH!
Luckily he started on the bumpers, so it was mostly restricted to the front bumper, brand new H4 headlights and the painted area surrounding them. It all seemed to clean up OK with thinners, but I'm too scared to look up close.
I'm thankfull the wire brush was on a high shelf though!
