You know you're a detailer when....

[randyfox]

When you think everything in this thread isn't strange at all...

[matts88yj]

.... Your side business explodes at your 9-5 job after they see your work on 2 Jeeps for photo shoots and giveaways.

 

.... You have cleaned and polished every stainless item in your home.

 

.... You can pick out swirls even at night on every other car you pass besides other Adam's members.

[man5011]

.... Your friends and family feel the need to call out the fact that your vehicle isnt spotless today.

 

.... You drive by a carwash and feel sorry for those using it.

[Redbeard]

You know you're a detailer when you keep a running tally in your head of how much of each product you have left.

...and the highlight of your day is when something you're low on pops up as the Daily Special.

^^^^^^^^^^^ditto^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[07RS4]

...when you are wheel shopping and base which ones you are going to get on how easy they are to clean and whether the turbo stick will clean the barrels

 

...on every car you see you run through your plan of attack on how you would detail it and with what arsenal of products and tools

 

...it takes you 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the store because your scoring all the paint on every car in the lot

[Redbeard]

...when you see cars in need of shine therapy in the parking lot at work, and plot ways to find the owner so you can help them out.

...you wonder why it bothers you so much that other folks don't take care of their ride the way you do.

[JBlack151]

.......when your posting on detailing forums about knowing when you're a detailer!!!

[Tim]

You know you can get a two-bucket wash in before the rain.

You know a strip wash doesn't involve one dollar bills.

You have a blow dryer for your car (guilty)

[AmyAtAdamsAustralia]

...women comment on the nice cologne you're wearing (Detail spray FTW)

 

... you do anything to avoid touching the paint when closing the doors or boot after a detail.

[Captain Slow]

...your wife calls you while stuck in traffic to tell you about the swirled up mess in the next lane (Bugatti Veyron.)

 

...your wife razzes you about all of your detailing supplies until you do her vehicle then it's all good...if you know what I mean.

 

...your children tell you your car is sparkly and smells good.

 

...you think nothing of giving the company car a full detail.

 

...you have the cleanest vehicle in the parking lot, no matter where you are.

 

...you take another car for a test drive and when you get back there's a crowd around your car.

 

...your car is "filthy" and it's still the cleanest car in the parking lot.

 

...your mom and monster-in-laws cars are cleaner than any of their friends'.

 

...you've offered your aunt in Sacramento your services in exchange for air fare out there and she says yes.

[scootertrash19]

...You cringe when you drive past a coin wash and see someone using the foaming scrub brush on their car!

...when your garage smells like mmmm! Detail spray!

[69supersport396]

...you have to explain to neighbors and friends the purpose of two buckets, those "grid things" on the bottoms, foam gun, all the wash mitts and brushes, and why you blow dry the car when washing is done.

 

...you have to explain why washing a car takes so long.

[AmyAtAdamsAustralia]

...you look at this image in silence and shake your head and ask yourself "why?"

[Chase@InsanePaint]

I am absolutely loooooooooooooooooooooving this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmyAtAdamsAustralia]

I love how it has turned into semi self-confessional thread discussing what most of us are guilty of doing.

 

You know you're a detailer when when you polish and QS your tool box, barbeque, external hard drive, your guitars, a maglite and iphone.

 

[StormChaser]

...you take a group of friends to lunch and apologize for the filth (and it was detailed the day before).

... you have a very SPECIFIC way you want people to close your doors so they don't put fingerprints on the pillars.

 

... PART B - your wife looks at you like a crazy person when you explain that process to her.

[blongo804]

Dylan, your first confession is totally me lol.

 

...When you still detail even when it's < 30 degrees out.

This thread was a great idea!!

 

I thought I was the only one that detailed my BBQ... Don't forget the shower too!

[Sangerbanger58]

When neighbors come up to you and say " you can do mine next"

[JerseyGator]

... You know your a detailer when you are compelled to detail a rental.

[Team Adam's]

... when you've washed and clayed a car outside while it was raining.

[AZZ06]

You wake every Saturday morning at 5:30 am to detail your car before the sun comes out to prevent water spots.
