    Yes and judge mental but once you understand clean is clean, how to do things to your standard and aren’t happy with streaks then it all seems normal

    Then re-do it until you get it right.

    Re: Are detailer's anal and critical??

    Btw this forum makes it all worse. Lol I used to clean the door sills quickly and didn't care if it was too clean, but after joining this forum, I have to clean them every wash. Wheel wells have to be cleaned and inner fenders have to be clean and deep black lol.

    I once was lost, but now I am found! Hahaha

    Yep, we’re all sick. I wish I were like the majority of people out there and didn’t give a crap about cars. Life would be way easier.

    I’m an anal and critical person in general so detailing is the perfect hobby for me.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Not to be anal or critical, but judgemental is one word, unless you're talking about a character in the Judge Dredd comics, then it's all good.

    Being a detail person as a hobby, I have Instituted what I call the “wife” test… If my wife can’t tell a difference in something that I just did, that I usually don’t do it again. Because as a detailer, you can see streaks, imperfections, and anomalies that really don’t mean a damn bit of difference in the grand scheme of things.
