Go Deep!
Man, does anyone else find theirself cleaning their car in their spare time, like all the time? Any time or any day I have nothing to do out comes the pc and the box of goodies and I goto work, getting out of hand here:hurl

Please help!!! :doubleduc
 
Yeah same here, I think I have some sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder lol. Everyday except Sat/Sun (working) I'm looking for something to do on my truck.

My girlfriend gets mad at me when I tell her I'm going to shut her door because I don't want her to get fingerprints all over it it! LOL
 
Empathy you will find here, perhaps even sympathy, and definitely understanding! :) But help to overcome your obsession? Nah!! :)
 
When I have people in my car and they are getting out ... i tell them exactly how to close the door.

Not by the window, not by the paint, the rubber in between
 
I think nothing is worse when I asked my friend on prom night if I could CCD my car because of the pollen. Boy did she yell. :mad:

I can identify with the thread, im currently logged onto two detailing forums, perusing a couple vendor sites, and contemplating if I should go give the car a monday wash.:lmfao
 
I can certainly relate and empathize with the detailing obsession....I'm lucky enough to have lots of free time and my significant other appreciates my efforts :D
 
well, i only get to detail cars on the weekends (unless its a quick detail), so its constantly on my mind during the weekdays. when im sitting in class taking a test, im thinking of the next product i should try. when im lying in my bed, i think about how many more microfibers i need. sometimes i calculate prices of products and shipping in my head. in a parking lot, i stare at other cars and gringe. oh well, i guess im not alone
 
What are we starting here detaiers anonymous.

Hi my name is nick and im a detailaholic. This morning after it stopped raining I woke up 2hrs early so that I would have plenty of time to Wash dry and quick detaiil my car.
 
Im more obsessed about different products, and the hundreds of combinations i could use for things such as interior trim, rims and ofcourse...the paint. I lose track of time alot during the week as a result of this. Hehe , comes with the territory i guess.
 
Me too - the wife thinks I'm crazy. I S&W my car at least 3x a week, clean it out every weekend, and carry a little brush to clean trhe crevices when I'm just sitting in traffic.

In addition, I've converted the ledge on our basement stairs to my detailing product storage area.

Yup, I'm nuts.
 
I'm on the edge of changing the name of my business to "Obsessive Compulsive Detailing" or "O.C.D." for short. :lmfao It is beyond obsession for me. I actually get cranky in the winter because I can't go out and get my detailing fix. I need to detail more than I need the sun. I find myself so giddy and excited before a detail sometimes that I lose sleep thinking about it. I am definitely obsessed and need help. lol

The sad part is that is such a good name for a detailing business. People would probably get a kick out of it ... or laugh at you ... either way its all good.

recently ive found myself in this nighmare where i can't get my car clean. I had my girlfriend look it up in the dream dictonary but they didn't seem to have anything about it.
 
My wife finally snapped last night when I was S&Wing. She storms out the door and said "Don't you know where to draw the line? Don't you think this is becoming a problem? Isn't there a scientific name for your compulsive cleaning problem? Don't you think spending time with me is more important than making sure your car doesn't have dust on it?"

So I kindly said
"SSSSSHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!"

Finished the job and poured us a glass of wine.

Once we both cooled down from the smart ass remarks and yelling, everything was fine and I had a clean car!!!!!!!!!!!:lmfao
 
LOL that is classic. I'm just glad that my wife understands. She is the same way about her house so I get to be obsessively clean about my cars. Besides, if its an obsession that brings in a few bucks for a nice date or gift every now and then, then I would expect the b**ching ot be at a minimum. lol
 
I think I have it bad - I go home at lunch and QD then when I get home from work, S&W and QD again - I have more products than most retail stores. I look at cars in parking lots and see swirl marks and fight the urge to beg people to let me fix that for them. But hey it's cheaper than heroine.

It is? I don't think you've been shopping in the right places. I've had to take up herion so I can save some money to get more Souveran. :naughty
 
Ok, maybe it is an obsession, but I'm not ready to admit it yet. Go ahead and laugh I tell people, but when the missiles hit someday, my car and detailing supplies will be nice and safe in my new bomb shelter! And where will your car be then? Huh? Yea, thought so. Bomb shelter is tapped into a nearby spring for a supply of water. Ready to ride out the resulting societal madness just detailing away the days safe inside my detailing bomb shelter! Yup. Obsession? Nah - smart.

Next step is an addition for the wife and kid!! :) Need to save up some money first though.
