    Re: You know your OBSESSED with a clean car when...

    When you are found at 2am detailing your neighbors' cars.

    When your favorite video to watch is the "How to use a PC for showcar results", and you would interrupt your children watching Dora the Explorer, or your wife watching the soap operas to watch it.

    When you would rather stretch over the hood of your car and take the hit of a juicy bird bomb instead of letting it hit your car.

    When you talk threateningly to birds as they pass by or over your car.

    When strangers see you talking to your car as you detail it.

    When you would rather sleep in your car than with your wife.

    When you would rather buy Meguiar's products than buy food.

    When friends call and ask what's up, and you answer that you are detailing your car again, because a leaf fell on it.

    When you swear at trees in the autumn as they try and drop their leaves or acorns on your car.

    When you use a water magnet towel as a bath towel.

    When you would rather detour 5 miles than drive near a dumptruck or concrete truck.

    When the wife is going into labor, and you would rather wait for a cab than let her in your car.

    When you see a cat near your car, and you run out with your gun.

    When you read 8 pages on an internet forum of other car nuts' obsessive tendencies...

      Here is mine:

      when you shout at your mother because she cant drive slow over roads that are not clean.

      when you also shout at your mother because she drives over potholes full of water

      Of course all that gives me reason to detail again

        Ha! I'm pretty guilty of these two! I haven't pulled a gun on them yet, but the racoons keep leaving paw prints all over the car. I think I'll let my dogs sleep out there tonight.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

            ...when you put the air purifier in the garage to cut down the dust in the garage so it doesn't settle on the car.



            Oh wait, I did that.

                When you secretly detail other cars while their owners aren't looking.

                When you wash your car in the rain.

                    ....When you keep a microfiber in each door and have a passenger wind the window down so they can catch the water coming out of the mirror after your wash so it doesnt end up on the paint.
                    ....Or have one ineach door so you can have them get that small spot in the corner of the window you missed while your driving

                    Do both on a regular basis lol....Greg

                            What about when you wash your truck when it's not really even dirty, just because you are feeling kind of down and want to wash it?

                            When you walk outside a few times just to look at how nice your truck is after you wash it?
                            So true, but sub Car for Truck. And people think I'm car crazy...

                              When the neighbor's kids walk by while you detail your car for the X time that week and call you crazy man....

                              When you have to wait till everyone is not home to detail your car because they think you have a problem.....

                              When you wash your car so much that even after you have washed it, the mitt and towels are still cleaner than your bath towel.....

                              When you park your car and as you walk away you are still looking back at it and if anyone parks near it you go back to your car to guard it....

                              When you do a walk around the car every time before you get in your car

                                So, I'm not the only one that details the bottles of detailing products, eh? A couple of days ago while shaking and smelling all of the various bottles of stuff I have, I noticed a scuff on a bottle of Show Car Glaze, so I uses PlastX to remove it. It really didn't strike me as being unusual until I read this thread.

                                Uh oh.
