We took the cool morning (low 70's) to clean the garage this morning. Even after tossing 10 bottles of this or that and cleaning up my detailing shelves , I feel to need for something new. Even a couple of the newer colored MF towels.

Wife says I need help and that I should be checked into a clinic, I asked if it was a car care clinic only to be hushed. Anyone else taking slack for this hobby ??

Psss....t I hear a rumor something new is coming from ..... (thump as wife hits me with frying pan)

I sure do, I have friends andfamily tell me i could save money by trading my detailing addiction for a drug adiction (joking of course). They think im looney (which i could be).. the best part is they will give me a ahrd time then 5 min later ask me to do there car.......... and i do :buffing:

lol, yeah, a couple of days ago my wife said, "Are you ordering again?" . She said it like like it was a weakness that needed immediate professional help. I said the same thing that I always say, "I need help!"

My wife gave up on me already. Now she just calls me an autogeek and rolls her eyes.

my garage is dedicated to my profession... my wife knows it a business, but doesn't see the need to always buy stuff, or wonder why i have to have a certain product...." can't you get that from wal-mart?"

Why in world would you toss 10 bottles :D
Did they get picked up yet, I wonder if I can find them and give them a new home.

Takes about 25 years or so... but they eventually get over it. :D
She likes "pretty" flowers in the yard. I like "pretty" paint on the cars. :buffing:

I have everything shipped to my mom and dads :D
Wife does not know what I got or when I get it.
The only thing she has said "stop polishing your car so much it looks new car".
But when I do hers, well thats ok then...

:cheers:

I love the cool morning in the 70's comment. I would give anything for some 70's around here this time of year. Today started with about 1/4 inch of frost on the ground and temps in the high 30's. Warmed up to mid 50's during the middle of the day. Wanna trade????

oh yeah, get it from the wife all the time. She can't find me, then opens the garage door and I get the rolling eyes, then she just shuts the door! Not that I buy that much stuff(well, maybe more than I need), but the constant quick detailing gets me funny looks. Oh well!!!:buffing:

Ok, I've got to go polish the drivers side of my car now.....lol

Not only does my husband think I am nuts, but so do my girlfriends! At least your male friends might understand. My girlfriends started calling me a motor-head. I corrected them and told them I don't rebuild engines. I just make sure mine is clean. So they started calling me an Autogeek, then they dropped the Auto and just called me a geek or sometimes a clean freak.:D My staff tells me every Friday... enjoy your weekend... have fun cleaning your car.
