Did I Go Too Far?

[allenk4]

It all started with a "New to Me" 2009 BLACK Yukon Denali

So far I have spent $640.51 at AG, Autopia and Griot's (w/o shipping)...I already had a 7424.


Didn't like the look of all the mismatched bottles of product or how they fit in my new detailers bag so I bought some 16oz spray bottles from CG and a bunch of wine label savers.

Am I loosing my mind? Black paint made me do it!

First black vehicle here. Got it in September of 2012 and I'm already trying to trade it in. I've spent $1400 in the last 4 months easy. I finally lost count and track of all the money. I know I have OCD bad so I gotta get rid of this truck.

It's not too hard to spend big money anywhere, but AO is especially easy with some of the brands they carry. Race Glaze black label and a few sv waxes and you're easily in the thousands without trying.

But aren't you saving money at that special club for detailers? ;)

Really nice job with the bottles. They look great!

[Bunky]

The bottles look nice.

I have been saving my 16 oz bottles (CG/Adams clear ones are good) to keep a set for my mobile kit. The CG labels are not very durable though.

Not going to get any sympathy from too many on this forum!

Welcome to the obsession!!!!

Great idea with the label saver:props: I use clear packing tape then transfer it to my favorite spray bottles bottles.

No your not losing your mind. For me it started with a new to me white 2009 Honda Pilot. then I googled 'what's the best wax for a white car' and it took off from there. The AG forum is the only place I feel normal. When you're here your with people who understand. Welcome home.
