Team Adam's Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Honestly, my neighbors think I'm crazy. Apparently, the following things I do are "weird": Detail the car on jackstands - every time. Polish and wax the INSIDE of my wheels. Wipe down all the visible drivetrain components - with Detail Spray. Detail at all hours of the day - I've been known to detail past midnight. Use that "pink" stuff and not the "more manly" crap from Pep Boys. Machine polish my side view mirrors. Run the extension cord for my PC through a belt loop to keep it off my paint.

0 rwisejr Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well, I feel much better about myself knowing that I'm not quite as crazy as Jason. I think, though, that my neighbors perceive me as an all-around crazy car guy, as I've seen them shake their heads at me: • Washing the car in 35 degree weather • Washing the car even though rain is clearly coming... sometimes you still need to jsut get the big stuff off • Swapping out my summer and winter tires, both sets of which are on identical factory alloys • washing the barrels of the wheels while the wheels are on the lawn • the occasional leaf-blower drying • painting the brake calipers And of course it goes without saying that these activities can take place anytime from 6AM to midnight. The noises that they hear at other times -- when the garage door is closed -- must be left to their imaginations. Oh, and you should have seen the looks of wonder I got when I removed my entire Corvette interior to swap it from light oak to black and install sound deadening and frost king throughout. I think they called my wife to see if it was time to have me committed. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man this sounds exactly like me !!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 radstoy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I must confess I'm a mad detailer in concept only. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Junkman2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 ... Detail at all hours of the day - I've been known to detail past midnight. Pansy. I'm detailing my car when my neighbors come in from work and I wave at them as they leave the next morning! ...but then you have a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 R/Tdrvr Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 • Washing the car even though rain is clearly coming... sometimes you still need to jsut get the big stuff off • the occasional leaf-blower drying • painting the brake calipers Have done all of these. Wash the car at least once per week. Detail Spray every day, unless there is a lot of road grime, in that case it gets washed. Its funny when I break out the leaf blower. The girlfriend thinks I'm going to clean the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I've broken out the leaf blower to clean the driveway before I wash the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
