Washing the Panamera<\/h3>\n

With two young children\u2014and my younger daughter, still a baby, not yet in daycare\u2014finding time to wash the Panamera myself during the day isn\u2019t easy. I could probably grit my teeth and try washing it while carrying her in an Ergobaby carrier as my older daughter is at kindergarten, but there\u2019s a very real chance she\u2019d get splashed and start crying.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also usually short on sleep, so I\u2019d rather take it easy on weekends. Add catching up on housework, and somehow there\u2019s never time to wash the car(or so I tell myself, haha).<\/span><\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve decided that the best option is to take it to a gas station that offers hand washing<\/strong>. But even then, there are a few things I need to consider:<\/p>\n

Condition 1: Go at a time that still lets me pick up my daughter from kindergarten
\nCondition 2: Choose a gas station with somewhere nearby to pass the time while the car is being washed
\nCondition 3: Make the trip part of another outing, rather than going out just to get the car washed<\/p>\n

That makes it easiest to get the Panamera washed when I\u2019m already heading out with my younger daughter for work or a meeting. Lately, my favorite gas station for this is Dr.Drive Umeda, ENEOS Frontier<\/a>, in the Shibata area of Umeda.<\/p>\n

Back to Get the Panamera Washed<\/h3>\n

I was impressed the first time I had the car washed there. The finish stayed sparkling for two months(even after driving on the highway, it didn\u2019t pick up many bugs)<\/span>, they held onto the car for two or three hours after the wash(saving me the cost of parking)<\/span>, and the location\u2014just a three-minute walk from central Umeda\u2014made it easy and convenient to pass the time. So yesterday, I brought it back. They don\u2019t take reservations in advance, so if they\u2019re full, you\u2019re out of luck\u2014but I got lucky and they had space! After leaving the Panamera with them for just under three hours, I went back to pick it up, and\u2026<\/p>\n

Wow, it\u2019s sparkling! ( \uff9f\u2200\uff9f)!!<\/span><\/p>\n

It looked as shiny as a brand-new car. Maybe it was just my imagination, but the Panamera felt lighter on its feet on the drive home, eager to get going and pulling along with real enthusiasm. Even a car seems to have a soul. It reminded me that I should make a point of giving it a proper wash regularly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washing the Panamera With two young children\u2014and my younger daughter, still a baby, not yet in daycare\u2014finding time to wash the Panamera myself during the day isn\u2019t easy.
