Re: Do your neighbors think you're crazy?
Of course, I get all of this, too. I also live in a townhome community and I'm pretty sure I'm the ONLY person that washes without going to the "car wash." People walking by usually say, "is mine next?" or "didn't you just do this a few days ago?" Yes, yes I did. It also rained since then and the car has been driven, so it needs to be cleaned again. Did you shower today? Didn't you shower yesterday, too? Of course you did. You were dirty. Well, the car is dirty, so I'm giving it a bath - a nice honeydew foam bath!
I think they really thought I was bonkers when they first saw the foam cannon in action. Oh, that and the leaf blower to dry the car.
They'll never get it. They'll also never have a car as clean as mine. Ha!!

Re: Do your neighbors think you're crazy?
My neighbors shake their heads side to side a lot.
I get teased almost daily by the guys at work.
I came in tired Tuesday and they said "He either waxed all night or read about it!" lol

Re: Do your neighbors think you're crazy?
My neighbors see different cars come and go and every now and again I have a few neighbors that stop by and want to know what I do and what I charge then they leave quickly. Like I have posted on here before I do not want to do regular run of the mill appliance cars I only like doing enthusiast cars.

When i worked at toyota as a "deatiler".. the other "Detailers" would tease me about spending 45 minutes washing my car saying it should never take that long.lol.
But i usually wash mine at home ever weekend. Unless i'm extremly bored during the week. i live right across from a reputable body shop and even he gets a kick outta me washing all the time. I have a friend who drives a tundra with a 8" lift and 38" tires... it's black.. she wants it washed n waxed almost weekly. She doesn't understand how long it takes me to do.

My neighbors always ask: why don't you just pay to have it done?

likewise...every time I wash a car, I get the chorus of 'mine next?' but all the passers-by. I don't mind and just tell them sure, 25 bucks, get in line. Though, I did have a neighbor, who is friends w/ a co-worker of mine, ask him how the heck I keep our cars looking so good all the time. My co-worker told him I use some sort of secret sauce car wax

Re: Do your neighbors think you're crazy?
A lot of my neighbors want their cars to look like mine. Three have bought DAs and pads and a few other things I told them to buy. I usually let them use my compounds and polishes. I help them with clay because I have the speedy prep towels and pad.

Then they ask why I don't do all the stuff to theirs as o do mine. Simple reply: "because you don't care to maintain it like I do"
