    How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    On my street no one does anything to their car. Once in a while they'll wash it but absolutely nothing else. No vacuuming, cleaning glass, etc.

    I am the only one that gives my car weekly car washes. I polish probably once a year but probably less now with new coatings.

    Re: How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    I don't see anyone on my street washing their cars either. There's a "Rain Forest" themed automated car wash at the top of my street on the main road that EVERYBODY seems to use. Usually, the lines are very long but the wait time is short. They are making some serious money there.
    Lastly, I clean my car so much that I know what the neighbors are thinking when they see me out there so often.

    None! For three of them, I take care of their cars when the weather permits.

    None. Used to have one guy who cleaned his motor cycle often, but he dumped it.

    Pretty sure my neighbors think I have OCD.....



    ..... and they're right.

    None of my neighbors, friends, or family give a hoot about detailing. My GF keeps her car clean and appreciates my efforts.

    Re: How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    I'd say one or two at most, and that's probably a stretch.

    I've seen two neighbors wash their cars on a couple occasions, and I've only witnessed one possible waxing, but it was an unconfirmed event.

    I've found the people in my area really don't seem to care what the vehicles looks like as long as it's "clean". My neighbors think I'm certifiably nuts.

    None. I'm the neighborhood freak. I actually feel self-conscious when I break out the the MetroVac Air Force Master Blaster.

    Re: How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    Actually, I spotted my neighbor using a electric blower on his car the other day. I thought to myself, whew, there's one neighbor who understands. He keeps his cars pretty nice.

    But in general. nobody. You can just walk through a parking lot almost anywhere, and can tell nobody is into detailing in my area.

    Re: How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    I see some of the neighbors do work as they do the occasional wash and wax. I am the full blown properly done person though. They know that the car is nice looking, but it does take hard work and time to do.
