You might be an Autopian if............

you count the "beads" on a freshly waxed TaylorMade burner draw on a misty saturday morning, while the fellas gawk at you, thinking "what the hell is he doing"?:getdown
 
You wash your car thinking its going to take 15-20 min and ends up taking all day.

(find road grime, clay, polish to take off some marring found on some fender, reseal and dress)



When you try to explain to someone "Why in the world would you filter the water that is for washing a car?"



When you tell them that it takes about 8 hours to do a paint correction, being it only takes 45min -1.5hour for the "detailers" across town.



When a fellow "detailer" laughs at the fact that you are doing things in steps:

"Clay is suppost to do the Compounding and Wax on a Wool pad does the Polishing and Sealing" :har: Seriously??



When people think your car is very new or painted being 10 years old.
 
17. When buying a new car, you go to multiple dealers of the same brand just to find one that has the "fewest" number of swirled vehicles in the showroom! Seriously, i get that 99% of the population doesn't even know that swirls are not normal but seriously.. dealers should at least have cars on the floor in perfect condition!



I bought a Acura CSX 14 months ago, an Infinity G37s and now a Lexus ISF and couldn't believe the condition of some cars on the dealars floor. Crazy.
 
You might be an Autopian if you spend more time detailing your car weekly then you do speaking with your wife ;-)



You might be an Autopian if you spend more montly on detailing supplies then on yourself!



You might be an Autopian if you are "gentlemen" by closing the door for your significant other but you're really only doing it so she doesn't put finger prints on your B-piller or glass.



You might be an Autopian if you don't let anyone with jeans sit in your car if you have off-white or tan leather... or make them sit on microfiber towel!

Oh crap, I thought I was the only one that did that.

Nothing ruins the clean look like a greasy finger print on the door. Is it so hard for people to be a little more careful when closing the door?

I've wondered about this. I'm planning to spec my '09 E90 next year with Oyster Dakota leather, which is an off-white/light-beigey color. I wear jeans a lot. Should I be worried?:eek:
