There's a satisfaction in keeping a new car new just as there is in renewing an ugly duckling and making it new again. It feels good when somebody gets in your car and comments on how beatiful it is.
Drugs are for losers, detailing, like gardening, is just good therapy ! lol |
I agree about the often time short lived fever. But this time, I'm 6 months in, and $$$$$$$ deep in detailing supplies which I never did before. If for no other reason than to avoid the wrath of my wife, I think I'm hooked on detailing. I find that a 4 hour Saturday morning wash and detail, fully armed with my Ipod has proved to be the best therapy I can get. No phones, no decisions and no pressures. And, a great looking shiny car to boot. I just love when I hear someone say, This is the cleanest car I've ever seen; or Does your car know what dust is? It has turned into a great hobby and a chance to "meet" nice people on these boards.
