I think I have Detailing OCD!

**biff** · 05-22-2003, 08:33 AM

I keep 2 oz. bottles of Degreaser, Vinyl Dressing, Carnuba Wax and Odor Eliminator in my truck at all times as well as a bottle of QD, a microfibre cloth and a Califonia duster.

At stop lights, I detail the dash, steering wheel, or anything else within reach that looks a little dusty. I haven`t quite got to the point where I get out and detail the exterior, but that can`t be far off.

I think I should seek help.

Let not your heart be troubled. To an extent, we are all right there with ya. My biz name is Obsessed Auto Detailing. That about says it all.

Brave man to admit that, I at least wait until I`m in the parking lot before I start cleaning and wiping things off.

Yep, I`m with ya on this one too! I carry a vent brush, and an MF in my console. If I`m waiting in traffic, or waiting for the wife to come out of the store, I always get the stuff out, and touch up things a bit.

Can`t do it with the wife in the vehcile though, as she starts telling me how dirty my den is!

Of course you don`t imagine how I justified her the acquisition of 12 S&W bottles... I took one one and detailed the glass table, the windows, the... once I also polished the refrigerator, the washing machines.... Now she does it, she has her own S&W.

Yeah my mom barks at me saying:

"You spend 4 hours every weekend detailing your car. You get out a toothbrush to clean the vents, and you use towels to clean dirt out of the door jambs! So why cant you atleast spend 5 minutes a day cleaning up your desk in your room?"

Some people just do not understand.

I need to tell the wife she has to buy her wn stuff. A week or so ago she used my last bit of Spray and Wipe to clean her car. THen again, it gave me an excuse to buy a 5 gallon jug of it.

Are you sure that`s going to be enough?

I`m with ya on this one guys. Maybe we need to start a support group? Hi my name is Jim, I`m a detail aholic!

I pulled off the highway once to clean off some bird crap from my hood. I got a few funny looks from by-passers. And as far as keeping things in your car. I have my rotory, pc and at last 15 gallons of various products in the backseat/trunk of my daily driver!

I`ve never done anything while driving though. I supose it`s a good way to be productive. I may have to give it a go.
