    You know you are a detailer when....

    I just walked into my garage and was hit with an overwhelming smell of waxes and compounds. I figured out my towel bin is a little full but I really liked the smell

    Way cool!! Makes the garage smell better too! I like the smell of Celeste Detaglio wax, smells like almonds and I will leave a used foam applicator with it on (I have about 25 applicators) so my garage can smell nice.

    I am not in detail for business just a hobby but when you said this I was pleasantly surprised!!

    Haha. My mom says she knows I'm a detailer because I wash more microfibers than clothes!

    That's awesome. My wife gets upset with me because every time we go to SAMs I buy a 30 pack of microfiber towels.

    I think you know you're a detailer when you notice swirls in EVERY car you look at! Dealerships, car shows, anytime I look at a car I notice imperfections.

    My family blocks my view in parking lots so I can't see all the swirled up cars and headlights with UV damage. I find it amusing because lately they have been pointing out the cars that need paint correction.

    Oh man, drives me crazy to see these on people's car (any my family's cars too). Need to figure out a good way to let go!

    I fix that by detailing all of my family's cars haha. Normally when they're gone for the day/weekend. Can't stand it on cars I see daily!
