Cabin Feaver

[zacetzel]

Please Help Me!
I have not been able to detail a car in 4 months I am in the midwest so this is the time for snow and salty road and all the cars look terrible but there is no place to detail them. I can not sleep at night because all that i can think about is detailing. I need some suggestions on what to do that will get my mind off detailing until spring. I dont have a heated garage otherwise I would be doing cars in there. Is there anyone else who has the same problem, i have the itch that i can not scratch and I am going insane.

I feel your pain!!

I live in New England and we've had it all this winter and I'm done with it!

Anyone that isn't south of Orlando feels our pain but not nearly as bad..

Yes I know it's killing me too but why don't you go to a self serve car wash get what you can off then if you have a garage/or if it's kind of warm just do a water less wash it maybe uncomfortable detailing in a coat, and glove but heck it sure claim's the craving, and the only other thing I can suggest is start detailing thing's around the house.

take it to a self serve about every week or so, and then i dry it but in negative teens i aint gonna be outside.

Two weeks ago it was "warm" enough to take the cars toa self-serve bay then come home and do a rinseless wash.
It seems the storms come in one right after another.
Awaiting a Nor'easterin the next two days and no totals yet.
Spent the pastcouple of days shoveling off our roof.

I play with my indoor rc car with a beer in my hand. Then wipe off the car to get the doghair it scooped out of the carpet.

74 and sunny in Tampa today, not a cloud in the sky, we call it chamber of commerce weather, snapped this afternoon after a cruise.

The irony is this stays in the garage most of the summer because it rains every day down here and I this is my time of the year to drive my garage queen.

I've got a heated garage but with snow every second or third day I just said **** it. I'll wait for nicer weather.

In the interim I've done an inventory of my supplies, shaken all the bottles, organized the stuff, reorganized the stuff, culled some older MF towels, put supplies in storage bins, took supplies out of storage bins, put supplies back on the shelves, made new shelves then moved stuff to new shelves, ONRed the storage bins then applied Meg's Ultimate Protectant to said bins, filled all bottles with gallon refills, cleaned all brushes and wheel woolies, vacuumed around storage area, read the labels on the bottles, re-shook all bottles, waxed the new clothes dryer after ONR and clay bar, sealed all of the bathroom mirrors with Glass Sealant...

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!! I ******* hate winter!





Sighs.

My cars are filthy.
