I detailed the key to my Acura Legend. Woolite, magic eraser, and toothpicks. Then the black part was dressed with 303 Aerospace. Am I really that crazy? Do you guys find yourselves doing weird things like this sometimes?
 
Nope the only thing I like to use everywhere is my PC with my brush attachment, cleaning walls, desk, and anything that needs to be cleaned :D
 
Let's see -- I AIO'd the glass shower enclosure in my master bath, and you want to know if detailing a key is odd?



Just sayin'....

Oh theres not a product in my house that hasnt seen some SG on it :cooleek:
 
I once polished the metal on my key, it actually came out surprisingly shiny. I gave it a spray of WD-40 before the next use-that way the key would help lubricate the inner parts of the door/ignition locks. I regularly use Folex on stained clothes, Vinylex on my waterbed mattress, and leather magic on my wallet. My eyeglasses are treated with OCW. but I have previously used other automotive products on them. I can see clearer in the rain, they dry quicker, and the lenses don't fog when I come in from outside. I think I just like the smell of automotive products, and they usually leave things shiny, which is a bonus to me.

Quick question....

1st - the toothpicks wood or plastic

2nd - was the 303 Aerospace sprayed on a towel or directly on the key

3rd - did you check with IPA wipes in between



:)

No befores, but I can tell you it had years' worth of hand gunk in tight spaces.
 
i polished the brass colored metal on one of my craftsman tool box keys so i could tell the key for the top and bottom box apart. frustrating always using the wrong key the first time. .. i have to re-do it abolut once a month because it oxidizes again pretty quickly, going to have to try putting some SG on it , ha.
 
My lord, I have never even considered doing this before.



I'd be a bit worried about detailing a remote though. Could damage the electronics if, by any chance, some liquid creeps in.
 
I've detailed my 1:18 scale car collection and a few Hot Wheels cars.



I've washed, waxed and vacuumed a rental car I had one time when my car was in the shop because it was way too dirty for me to feel comfortable.



I've waxed my grandfathers John Deere Lawn tractor out of sheer boredom.
 
Well, I keep pretty much *everything* nice and clean :nixweiss I don't take it to extremes though, more of a functional thing.



But I don't like the feel, or potential slickness or dirt retention, of dressings, so I don't 303/etc. stuff like keyheads.



Along similar lines- if you haven't cleaned/lubed/etc. your folding knife (or other, uhm..."tools") recently, I'd do that post-haste. No matter where you carry your tools, [stuff] gets in the works.
 
There is an Autopian term for this:

Obsessive-Compulsive Detailer (OCD)



Now I don't feel so out-of-place (IE; weird) doing these sort of "excessive cleanings" as my better half puts it. Then I guess it's O.K. to admit that:

1) I have cleaned my pocket knife as Accumulator suggested;

2) I have detailed my lawn mower and snowblower;

3) I have spent half a day detailing a bicycle for my Mom;

4) I have used Q-tips and vinyl protectant on electronic remote controls;

5) I have used metal polish on my keys;

6) I have waxed my kitchen appliances (Hey, I got the idea from my wife's Woman's World)

7) I have washed and vacuumed rental/loaner cars because they were too "dirty" according to my standards

(The dealership I got my car serviced at waived a loaner fee when I did this!)



Somehow this sounds like an OCD Anonymous meeting group admittance.

I have detailed my remote controls, garage door openers, cell phone, home phone, and basically anything that can be detailed. For some reason I thought detailing my key was just a bit more over the top though haha.
 
I have buffed out my countertops with 105/205



4 stage paint correction on my lawn mower...



and oh ya.

Sealed my shower with Detail kings sts3000



Auto detail chemicals are universal, what can I say!!
