You know your a detail freak when...

[Dipstick]

I am really feeling very good. After reading all the posts in this thread, I am convinced I am not a freak. How can I be, when there are so many out there just like me? it's more like we are the normal ones and they are the freaks.

When your wife is backing her car out of the garage to leave on an errand and you follow her down the driveway with a microfiber cloth and a bottle of QD, spritzing and wiping as she’s rolling.


PC.

O DUDE!!! i thought i was the only one that thinks that.... every time i see that i think OUCH!!!! and also when the models put their high heels on the paint... OUCH!!!

I must be crazy too,I guess
I have washed my car in the rain sometimes ( if the lightning is too
severe I'll rush to get it done )
then use a waterblade or chamois when the rain stops.

quick detail the car once a day ( used for business ) ( detailing )

waterless carwash on the bathroom mirrors ( as needed )


I have 83'd and waxed the bathroom sink countertop in the past.

also 83'd and waxed the washing machine in the past.

is it considered a fetish ??? ( lol )

I just detailed the shower stall today.

Sliding glass doors too.

Funny side note: My mother-in-law was needing to use the bathroom real bad (She's up in the years, and is a little hard of hearing) while I was buffing the stall, and she said: "He's shaving and I need to get in there!"

My wife and I split a gut on that one!

I told my wife that I should have clayed my face first, since I was shaving with a PC.

Or you are so excited because you happen to get some new products before everyone else here and you can't wait to write up a full review.

Rick,

I'll bet your wife leaves notes around the house that read.... "Honey, if you have the time and the products, this appliance, that table, this counter top, needs attention.. the Martians are coming over for dinner tonight and you know what Martha is like... so if you don't mind, polish up that really OLD plastic stuff, I wanna rub her nose in it!"

Hey now I learned from my mom and dad to wax the shower stall and the toilets, cause it makes them easier to clean. And RainX on the glass shower doors and bathroom mirrors.

Moving to a new apartment next month and will see what NXT metal polish will do in the new bathroom, beacuse it has lots of aluminum/chrome looking fixtures and trim ! (I'm sick I know I am...)

Re: You know your a detail freak when...

When you are excited for the weekend just so you can detail..
When your neighbors drive by and stare at you using your PC.
When you see a speck of anything on your car you wanna get it off right away....
:P

Re: You know your a detail freak when...

....When you hear the paint on non detailed cars crying
....When you get up an hour before sunrise, just to prevent water spots
....When you start detailing a CPR dummy (been there done that)
... When no one in your neighbourhood can think of any new annoying comments about your detailing job.

When your car is so slick that when your wife leaned on the car she slid off the car and onto the floor. She only did that once!

Re: You know your a detail freak when...

Your neighbor asks, "why do you wax your door jambs?" and for a brief moment you are confused by the question.

You know when your a detail freak is when....

1.Your girlfriend say's you spend more time with your car then me
2.When you go shopping with your girlfriend and you tell her I'll be at automotive section just looking. And later you come back with a bucket of supplies.

Re: You know your a detail freak when...

when u join an online Detailing forum.....

detail ur laptop, use the shine to bounce off rays of light during class at th teacher... lol

after u spend 2 hrs driving through the rain in 20 degree weather u come home at 11 at night adn the first thing u do is grab the bucket and hose all while not saying a word to anyone even tho u havent seen them in months due to school

u hold ur own detail class in the college parking lot

u get more comments about ur truck from the parking lot security than ur firends

a friend offers u to go with him to a movie but u decline because their calling for rain in the area

if u were to cut ur shirts down the seams they still wouldnt be longer than all ur microfiber clothes put together....

u teach ur girlfriend to clean the windows because u cant trust her with cleaning the paint, interior, engine, wheels adn tires and exhaust tips

the only channel u watch is the weather channel

the only movies u watch are those that show u how to detail ur car

ur girlfriend already knows what to get for ur 50th birthday even tho ur just 18....

if u have been asked how u get such an awesome tan in January u simply reply what tan?....

u have more pics of ur truck than ur girlfriend in ur wallet

u do more with ur truck than ur girlfriend

it is impossible to take a shower in ur dorm room b/c of how many times u wax ur bathroom adn bath tub

u start finding more uses for microfiber towels than duck tape

u suggest to the school board to put up one garage for ur truck adn to hold detail classes in

ur truck is so clean u can mud in it all day and the mud woudnt stick to it even under the truck

u go to have ur truck inspected and the mechanic asks do u even drive ur truck at all? and u reply look at the odometer.. dont it say 13000 miles?

sorry if some are reposts didnt look before posting

Re: You know your a detail freak when...

First off, I loved every single line...it's perfect. I think Meguiar's should add some of these lines to their "if you.....then you are certifiably car crazy."

You are a detailing freak when...

1...you see Barry Meguiar on TV and yell, "I know him!" as if you saw a friend on TV..and you haven't met him in person or anything and only believe that he knows you because of the name on the wax bottle.

2...you buy wax despite having excessive amounts of wax already. When others ask why you bought MORE wax, you simply reply with, "some tools are designed for certain jobs when other tools will fail."

3...Your friend buys a new a car-at 11:30PM you both go to the coin wash to detail-so you don't wake anyone up. [No clay necessary, step 1, 2, NXT and #16] You finish detailing by hand 3 hours later...it's 3AM.

4...you detail a friend's ride rather than studying for YOUR test.

5...you judge people on their swirls and not their looks.
