My name is Hammer. I am a waxaholic. In the beginning, I started out just being happy with washing my car. Then I graduated to cheap over the counter waxes. I would just wax once a year. Then, I bought a new car. That is when I fell into my present addiction. I wash and wax my car 2-4 times per week. Oftentimes I wonder if there is a world's record for coats of wax applied onto a single vehicle. I feel anxious if my car looks the least bit showroom. Oh the glimmer, the shine, the radiance! I feel most centered, therapeutic zen-like when a sponge applicator is in my hand. Mmmm, the smell of the wax coupled with fine microfiber under the shade from the warm sun tingles my sensations.

I'm Hammer, and I'm a waxaholic.
 
2-4 times per week o.O
Thats outrageous.... I thought i wash like 2 times a week is crazy lol
 
3 hours ago I waxed my neighbors dining table with Collinite 476S. No lie. I've already done my furniture. I thought I'd draw the line at dragging
in the PorterCable so I just buffed it by hand.
 
IMO you're just wasting time and money, but it is your time and money so whatever makes you happy, should just do others for money.

:iagree:

Using a spray wax after a wash would be more ideal.

Perhaps you may have a point. Maybe I should blow it on booze and hookers. ;)
 
Wax on+Wax off=Therapeutic Relaxation

I freely admit that I have a problem. The Brazillian White is a hard act to follow. I may try to cut down and wean with a spray. It will be a challenge, no doubt.

In a perfect world, Autogeek would sponsor a rehab retreat where detailer and tire shine will be the only things on the menu.

Tough love is a bitter pill to swallow.
 
I used to be like that. Im kinda over it though, I enjoy washing more than waxing. Its just an extra step I don't want to do.

Thats partly why I am opti-coating my car.

PRIASE THE LORD !!! I feel ur pain. I to am a waxaholic...3 cars and not enough time :)

I am retired and enjoy cleaning and working on my cars. My wife gets compliments from the Gate guards all the time when she drives into the base. Neighbors laugh and say I am nuts.I look at it this way I worked 33 years for the military and I deserve to do what I want now. I went thru Prostate cancer so each day now I do what I like.

Nuts maybe , But I enjoy each day I luv the smell of wax, detailer ....

If time/money permitted, I would love to visit FL.

Thanks, Bobby. You're always knowledgeable, always supportive. :props:
