we must allow the sane detailers to remain so until the bug bites them. :awesome:
Speaking professionally, of course, I have to agree. But what does that say about the rest of us? Do you know of any treatment programs for pathological detailers?
What would the 12 steps be?
1. We admit that we are powerless over detailing - that the appearance of our cars takes precedence over other aspects of our lives
2. We come to believe that more rational detailers than ourselves can restore us to sanity
3. We make a decision to turn over our will and our lives to the care of the detailing God (as we understand him)
4. We make a fearless and moral search of our product inventory
5. Admit to God and others the exact nature of detailing excesses
6. We ready ourselves to be open to the detailing gods to remove the defects of our character (not paint)
7. We humbly as God to remove our shortcomings (without buying more products)
8. Make a list of all those we have neglected while detailing and become willing to make amends
9. Make those amends, except where doing so would injure them or our car's finish
10. Continue to take personal inventory of our effort and our detailing products. Promptly admit when we are detailing excessively or are spending too much time and money on autogeek.com
11. Seek knowledge and understanding through study and meditation, more efficient ways to detail our cars. Praying to the detailing Gods for the power to remain rational.
12. Awaken spiritually to the power of these steps, carry them to other extra-sane detailers, and practice these principles in all other aspects of our lives.
