Dear Auto Geeks Online Anonymous,

i have previously admitted to having an uncontrollable urge to buy things, even though i didn't need them, from AutoGeeks. Now i have another problem. i am almost embarassed to admit it.......

After completely detailing my car i am almost afraid to drive it because it will get dirty!!!! i love how it looks sitting in the garage just glowing. now i know that when it gets dirty i'll get to detail it again but i get quite anxious knowing that a bird or some pollen is just waiting to ambush me.

I do love to drive my freshly detailed car but when i see that unavoidable puddle or rain coming i just start to get nervous.......

hopefully we can address this issue of mine at the next meeting.

am i the only one ????

My name is John, and I am a detailoholic. I've been detail free for 2 weeks and it's killing me. I wake up in the middle of the night in terror sweats.

first step, admit your problem!!!!! congratulations.

i have no idea what to do next so i'll be of no help :)
 
You SIR are not alone, I've been feeling that way for a long time, my wife thinks I'm crazy but she does not understand:) I'm glad there is people like me out there!
 
Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over waxing and that our wives had become unmanageable.
Step 2. Came to believe that a better wax could restore us to sanity.
Step 3. Made a decision to turn our wheels and our tires over to a tire shine as we understood it.
Step 4. Made a searching and fearless swirl inventory of our rides.
Step 5. Admitted to A.G.O., to ourselves and to another detailer the exact nature of our paint condition.
Step 6. Were entirely ready to have M-105 remove these defects and swirls.
Step 7. Humbly asked our banks to increase our credit limits.
Step 8. Made a list of all the products we would need and became willing to pay for them all.
Step 9. Made a direct leveling of our swirls except when to do so would remove too much clear or strike through.
Step 10. Continued to use 2 buckets and when the water got dirty promptly replaced it.
Step 11. Sought through detailing forums to improve our process as we understood it, asking only for the knowledge of products and the technique to use them.
Step 12. Having achieved a perfect paint finish as a result of these steps, we tried to carry these techniques to other detailers and to practice these processes with all of our vehicles.


Don't feel bad, when it rains I go to the coin op car wash to wash my car, I want to minimize as much as possible the crud sticking to my paint :dblthumb2:

Haha no bueno if you do that!
 
I've been to a few "Detail-Anon" meetings. "They" call it self help, feels more like a witch hunt to me. We can't help the fact that "Our wives had become unmanageable". It's an inside job.
 
Imacanyone,

I hope you're not looking for sympathy here as we all suffer from the same affection.....BUT, you are among friends!! :laughing:

  1. Your car could always be shinier
  2. You never have enough products
  3. There will always be something new that you'll need

They say topping opti coat doesn't add shine. I'd like to state that I've tried it and I think it actually does.

I bet all our spouses, GFs, etc have a forum they get onto and talk about how to drive us crazy. Along with gossip about which detailers wife has plastic surgery, who's fooling around with who, and whatever else women talk about.
