Is this bad?

**lonewolf0420** · 04-11-2006, 01:20 PM

I just talked to the collision center were my Altima is and they told me it would be a month till my car is finished being repaired. Currently I`m driving a Enterprise rental. Its a 2005 Sentra, Bronze. The interior is a mess and the exterior isn`t much better. Is it bad that I really want to detail this thing. I think I could make the bronze finish GLOW! Am I out of my mind?

Nope. When my truck was wrecked last year I was loaned a Toyota Camry. The thing was in need of a good cleaning, so since I had to spend two weeks driving the thing I decided to detail it. I had some products at the time that I hadn`t had a chance to try so that was my test vehicle. I think for people who enjoy detailing its not crazy at all, just feeding the habit.

I had a rental car not long back for about a week....I used it as a experimental car....I used all kinds of different stuff on it....LOL

It was white so I had some thing that I wanted to try out....I turned the car back in pretty darn clean on the outside

I dont think it`s bad. Just feel the need to be in a clean car. I wouldnt go crazy on it, but if your jonesing for a fix then knock yourself out.

if you need to experiment with new stuff , now is the time to do it.

You are not crazy!!

"OCD needs to be encouraged." At least according to Jngrbrdman. I believe that this is an accurate statement.

I love it when I have a rental car - they make the BEST test beds!!

Go for it!! And post up pics when you`re done

**JaredPointer** · 04-11-2006, 02:14 PM

Yep, you`ll never hae a greater chance to experiment and find out what works and what doesn`t.

**lonewolf0420** · 04-11-2006, 02:20 PM

Glad I`m not crazy

**norahcrv** · 04-11-2006, 02:26 PM

Now wait a sec . . . the only person who said you weren`t crazy, was Kirk - and he goes through S & W by the 5 gallon vat & has to have it airlifted into Alaska!!!

you have to drive that thing for a month, Make it feel like you own. I know if I had a car for a month I would want it to be spotless. Plus it would be fun to do a detail on it. I say make that mother shine

You are asking the other residents of the asylum if you are any carzier than they are

**lonewolf0420** · 04-11-2006, 03:06 PM

Exactly. Now I feel like part of the family

**Maxima Lover** · 04-11-2006, 03:53 PM
