DTrem13 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My neighbors think I'm crazy for washing my car as much as I do. But with me being only 19, I think people are a lot more shocked my Charger is actually mine (and not my mom or dad's car,) than how pristine I keep it. I love that feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have mentioned this in another thread though...if I am on a car or truck, LEAVE ME ALONE! I don't interrupt you eating or sleeping, and to me, detailing is just as important. I'm so mixed on this... on one hand there's nothing more important than having good neighbors, so any time spend building a friendly relationship is time well spent. But on the other hand, I swear my neighbor always comes over EXACTLY at the wrong time -- when I'm racing to get the car dried off without spots!

But on the other hand, I swear my neighbor always comes over EXACTLY at the wrong time -- when I'm racing to get the car dried off without spots! I wash it outside and then pull it in to dry... Such a PITB sometimes to do it outside. My house faces East so there's sun on the driveway most of the day. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE SXT Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My neighbors think I'm crazy because I'm always out washing, detailing, etc., but I don't really mind and I always get the "hey come do mine when you're done", "gonna wash all the paint off" etc. Again, I don't mind cause whenever I go anywhere I always get the "dang, that car looks great..what do you use". That always gives me the chance to boast about the great products from Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboman Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The "M" brand has kept my truck looking great for many years, but the first time I did a wash with Adams and just used Detail Spray, I pulled into a parking lot and a security guard looked at me and asked "Is that special paint?"

07RS4 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My house is the cool-aid house.... So I hear my sons friends ask him ALL the time, "Why does your dad wash the cars every weekend?" He just laughs.... The neighbors made some funny comments at first with the two buckets, the foam gun and especially the master blaster with my big fat ear muffs I wear, haha.

PirateGoat Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 After I got done with the Old Man's truck last fall, everyone of his friends that came in for two weeks asked him if the truck was new. LOL, nevermind the two body changes Ford put out....it was all about how great it looked! I have mentioned this in another thread though...if I am on a car or truck, LEAVE ME ALONE! I don't interrupt you eating or sleeping, and to me, detailing is just as important. I agree I'm so mixed on this... on one hand there's nothing more important than having good neighbors, so any time spend building a friendly relationship is time well spent. But on the other hand, I swear my neighbor always comes over EXACTLY at the wrong time -- when I'm racing to get the car dried off without spots! Seems like every time I finish with my pool rinse either one of the neighbors comes out to talk or starts cutting their grass. On Mon morning when I was doing a waterless wipe down, I got the "Didn't you just wash it yesterday?" from the neighbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian6 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Oh... I've already gotten the "Didn't they clean it for you at the dealer?" comment. That was closely followed by "There goes your resale value. Those things put swirls into your paint that won't come out unless you have it repainted" from the guy referencing me using the PC to knock out some dealer swirls. I just shake my head at those ppl, theyre not worth saving. LOL you shoulda thrown whoever said that a "microfiber towel" that came in the PC box. as junkman says "they're in the matrix" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyfox Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 When I drive the Tundra to work and my co-workers ride in the truck, they make sure they always give me a hard time. Once, right after a full detail, I got on them to make sure they only used the handles when they got in and out to avoid hand prints. So now when we take the truck they like to remind one another to "Just use the handles!", "Hey, use the handles please!" and "Make sure to use the handle". Jerks!

GaryW Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Alot of I did not know that Grey could look like that. Even when it is dirty it still has a big reflection. You can tell the shine is there.

mc2hill Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 My mom told me this weekend that my truck looked really nice. I just said 'Thanks". It has not been washed for over 3 weeks, and it needs a round of FMP, but it does look better than 98% of other cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 going through the drivethrough at Hardees tonight the guy at the window said "wow you get new tires today or something? they look new" The tires on my car have 8,000 miles on them and have been treated with SVRT since day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colodude18 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 One of my favorites was a coworker asking if I had some kind of teflon coat on my car since it always looks like it was just washed...

JBlack151 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My barber always says: "Dude your paint looks wet man! I don't know how you do it" My neighbors always say: "You care is shining!

THE Mook Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Some that have stuck... "Rolling on Mirrors!" "I didn't know you could make Silver look like that" "You're Crazy!" (My response is similar to Sheldon Cooper's....ME: YES, they had me tested.") "That's the coolest wheel thingy I've ever seen." (re: Turbostick) One more comment that I won't share but meant a lot to me regarding my paint and all the blood, sweat, and bathroom breaks I have spent on it....was more than positive.

XQIZT Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I loved this one: "Your car looks so much better than the others here, but I can't put my finger on WHY." and "THAT was painted in your GARAGE?" (Yup, sure was.) And for non-Corvette people, my '85 seems to get confused with "new" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargerMatt Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The guy across the street always gives me the nod when it's freshly cleaned and there's a guy down the street that details cars for a living that always gives me the look as well. Nobody I've met can tell how much work I put into it, but I do get some nice stares when it's freshly cleaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
