Okay, who's cleaned my car?

There must be a non woo explanation, surely?

It's an ordinary hatchback usually parked on my drive. I use it for work, although mostly wfh atm and teen DS uses it very occasionally.

The last couple of days it's been bothering me that it looks streaky, but I couldn't work out why. Then today I realised that actually it's weeks since it's been washed but, apart from the streaks, it's very clean. Someone's washed it!

I thought maybe DS had put it through a car wash on one of his outings, which admittedly would be out of character, but no other explanation.

However, he's certain it wasn't him.....

It wasn't clean but I don't think it was so disgracefully dirty the neighbours washed it out of embarrassment for the street Grin

Where do you live? I'll send my car round.

Isn't it just that it's rained almost constantly through May?

That doesn't make a car clean though, usually makes it look dirtier

Haha do you know my Dad? When my car gets too messy for him to look at he steals it and cleans it Blush he gives me a pretend telling off and a bin bag of belongings.
If I’m having a tough time he also occasionally leaves me chocolates or something on the passenger seat.
He’s definitely the best spare key keeper.

I'm jealous of @laufeythejust 's dad and @orangepowder mysterious helper - would they come and do mine??

Remember when Joey cleaned the Porsche so everyone would think it was his?

Maybe someone wants people to believe your little hatchback is theirs!

No, mine was covered in a layer of dust and pollen at the end of April, but that's all been washed off with rain, and it looks much cleaner.
