Is it a sickness??

I brought a new bicycle home for my son today. As I walked in the door of my house, the first thing I did was grab a tub of Gold Class paste wax and a bottle of Endurance tire gel. I proceeded to shine up new bike! I even used a tiny amount on a rag to brighten up the black plastic pieces and the seat. When I was finished, the bike looked great, but my family thought I was crazy! My son was appreciative, though (lol). Is this the sign of a crazed detailer gone wild, or a sane (relative) Autopian?? The wife thinks I need help. Any suggestions, cures, or remedies? :o :nixweiss
 
Yeah, I know how it is. A coupla weeks ago, my neighbors saw me doing my lawnmower with AIO and PB trim restore. Its been a little awkward between us ever since. The way I see it, its worth a little harassment to mow in syle ;) .
 
I actually considered waxing my lawn mower the other night, and then I stepped back and said, "Whoa, this is getting out of hand."

Tell me about it ! I read about Liqui-caly today and my bug kicked in ,so I ordered some to try on a problem car... Not even my car. Is that sick?:nixweiss



I dont even know the product.... will do anything !
 
When you spend close to $600 to begin a new hobby and spend countless hrs. here on Autopia trying to perfect your skills, Yeah, I'd say its a sickness. But, at least I'm not drunk, drugged, or jailed.

Its good to hear I'm not alone! Lawn mower, you say... hmmm, I have to buy a new one anyway. I wonder if I should put that Zaino order in first!? And then, this winter... the Snow blower!! (can't say that in So.Cal, eh!?). Then what?? Oh, I know, the fridge is looking a bit dull. Good thing I dont have OCD!;) :lol
 
Yes I think it is, and I got it bad!

I am guilty of this as well. I detail my lawn mower, my quad and my golf clubs. I think part of it is just the fact that it makes everthing look really nice and helps the resale of things.

Hey fellas, if Hank Hill ("King Of The Hill") can detail his riding mower, then so can you! Go for it!

I'm an addict they say the first step is admitting you have a problem and I do and I like it. I to have waxed my lawn mower makes for easier cleaning after mowing, with as much as they cost its cheap maint. Quad gets detailed also, all though its getting it last DT as for its going up 4sale.
 
I was eyeballing my Gas BBQ grill the other night. It's painted with a nice single-stage red. I'm wondering if I finally found a test-bed for the Teflon based products. My grill hits 550deg F. That should bond the Teflon to the paint, right?
