You know you are too deep into detailing.....

when you have your car serviced and you wind up detailing the loaner. My wife said I am getting way too much into detailing when i dropped my car for servicing for a couple of days and the VW dealer gave me a ' 02 Jetta for a loaner. The dark blue looked real crappy since no one appeared to have cleaned it since it was made. I could not stand driving a filthy car so i washed, polished and waxed it. The dealer said he thought I brought the wrong car back.



:D

OK, that's a little obsessive. I'm sure the dealer appreciated it and will remember you for it though, so I hope it comes back to you!



That is a good idea to try out some new products/techniques on a loaner though.



Usually I just do neutral drops and try to wear out the wheels in my loaners.

but once had a friend bring his Saab story car over to clean it since he was going to sell it.. after we finished the entire car, he says.. hey, this thing looks like brand new.. not going to sell it now... so he kept it and starting taking care of his car after that..

Hey! If there are any psychiatrists out there, you could make a bundle from this site, with these obsessive compulsives. Just think, an endle$$ $upply of patient$.....



:D
 
How about buying old used cars that are straight enough to detail?? Sell em after they sparkle... how bad off am I? (never get burned, people love shiney things,LOL )
 
:D I have washed rentals before. They were not clean enough. I really want to detail one. After I get the business open I may get on that is in bad shape and do half of it for a car show.
