John's car desperately needed a good cleaning. With a bucket of soapy water, a sponge, and a hose in hand, he was going to wash his car thoroughly today. He started by rinsing the car to remove loose dirt and dust. As he sprayed the water, he couldn't help but admire the sleek lines and polished chrome of his car. It had been his pride and joy for years.
With the initial rinse complete, John soaped up the sponge and began to scrub every inch of the car. He worked on the front grille, the side panels, and the windshield; he cleaned the tires and wheels, bringing back their original shine. He rinsed the car again and, with a soft cloth, dried it off. Finally, he polished the windows, making sure they sparkled in the sunlight.
John stepped back, admiring his work. The car looked as good as new. He recalled the countless road trips and adventures he had experienced in this car, and felt not only a deep satisfaction with his clean car, but also a renewed sense of attachment to it.
