Aoi-chan's Quickie - 27/8/2009

A few rain after the fiasco of Aoi-chan's paintwork, Aoi-chan looked sparkling if not truly clean and clear.
Regarding the fiasco, here's what happened;
1. Got on the Federal Highway sometime ago with my fiancee heading to my parent's house
2. Aoi-chan got splattered by some stuff near one of the construction sites lining the road
3. Upon arrival, dismissed stuff on as dust
4. Left it there until the weekend to wash off (the thing happened on a weekday)
5. It rained a few days later. Realized that the stuff is actually cement once it started to harden after the rain dried up
6. Panic! Sent Aoi-chan for a quick wash. Told the guys to scrub off whatever is possible
7. Aoi-chan's paintwork was in a partial mess afterwards (told them to stop scrubbing halfway, ONLY after realizing i made a terrible mistake of telling them to do so)
8. Made things worse when i tried to do the remaining job myself
9. Gave an emergency call to a fellow friend and sent Aoi-chan on a full-body polish (planned to have a respray if it didn't work)
10. Aoi-chan looks better with the light scratches gone and the deeper ones less apparent

There were some weeping scenes in between the numbers but were edited out by the censory board... me (huhuhu...)
Well at least all's right with the world now... or maybe not. Noticed this morning that Aoi-chan is making a new noise. It seems that the engine will sometimes whistle around 3000-4000rpm. And the funny thing is that it can be heard over the already rough sound of the engine and with the windows all up. I sincerely hope it's just the effect of the rain last night plus the few puddles i went through on the way to work. Will have to monitor this... Eeeeep!
