I am much more obsessed than anyone, even worse than you. I like to keep the car so clean that I don't even hardly drive it. Car sees maybe 800 miles a year these days, and I spend about 2 hours cleaning it after every drive.

It never gets driven in the rain, and it's always spotless. I even bring cleaning supplies with me to car shows for last minute touch-ups when needed.

lol cleaned my car today....i normally clean my car twice a week. if i know it's going to rain say like the next day and i have dirty fenders and such. i'll go ahead and wash it that day (like a prewash! lol) and wait til after the rain and wash it soon after. i actually hand washed my car today bc of boredom and i wanted to try to get some nice shots of the car. here was my outcome.....



that's just a few pics....i think it's funny bc any time i take pictures of my car it always seems to be clean. in other forums they noticed that fairly quick also.

If i get a little dust on my car i freak out, then when i get bugs and road debris on it i go crazy. Also i get really pissed when someone else tries to clean my cars,like my dad or brother, i have to do it myself otherwise i dont feel like its perfect.

Hell yes!! there are people like me too. I cant stand it when it rains, My car has to constantly be clean. I feel like im a dirty person if i drive a dirty car. On my lunch break I'll go outside and do a quick detail on my car. (clean rims or i'll do a detail spray over the car)

Yea I used to be like that with my old T/A thats why I sold it and got my Camaro, its a little older and a little more miles so if its not perfect I dont completely flip out, but I still keep it up nicely

And I thought I was bad.

I drove my car to a baseball game last night and parked as far away from the crowd as I could, my gf got pissed at me, it was a AAA game not pros. When I came back a bird had **** right behind my driver door right under the window Luckly there was no bird close cause I probably would have ripped its head off.

I got home and it took me two hours to clean the car, my gf got pissed and went to bed . I can normally let the car get a little dusty, but it comes right off when I take my micro fiber to it so dust doesn't bother me much. But I can't stand anything else being on my car. My dad didn't see why I spent 30 min looking for my shammy that doesn't scratch my paint and didn't just use a normal towl . I tried to explain to him that my car was black and a normal towl will leave little scratches in the paint and he just gave my a blank stare and told me I was too damn **** about that car

I wash it at the most every other day and complete wax at least twice a month. It takes me about 2-3 hours every time since I do the interior every time and then wash the outside and the engine bay and then dry it and either wax or quick wax.....my parents think I'm nuts!
