Ever use your detailing skill on something other than a car?

A few months ago my wife asked me to clean the bathroom. I decided the shower stall needed some TLC. It's one of those typical glass stalls with the textured/fogged exterior surface. I broke out the DA buffer and some Rain-X Extreme Clean with a griot's garage glass polishing pad. It really worked nicely. Scrubbed that thing clean. I topped it off with some Rain-x for good measure. now I get to witness water beading every time I shower. Feels good :) I imagine Aquapel would work better but it's too expensive to use in a shower :o

Am I the only crazy who does stuff like this?
 
I buffed my PS3. It's black high gloss plastic and developed swirls and RIDS. Never did the shower though

I have one of those glass stoves and it has lots of scratches on it... or did that is. I removed the scratches with some compound using my 3401 and then polished it. Now we have to eat out all the time.
 
Great topic!

Let's see.....our stove, our bathtub, our shower, our patio. Basically most things around the house!
 
I compounded and removed the scratches out of my phone case a while back. i also buffed my ps3 since it was black and had tons of little swirl marks.
 
Before I was into detailing I purchased products to polish the back of a 3rd gen U2 mp3 player
 
OMG you all are more obsessed than me. Why did I open this thread? Now my OCD is going to make me start looking for other things to "detail".

:laughing:

Lets see: Induction cooktop (badly swirled), stainless steel appliances (scratches), computer (swirls), phone (have I mentioned swirls?), shower (mineral deposits)...
I can imagine that if I had a steamer things would be even worse...

:haha: but true!
 
I polished a computer case a few years back after I sanded the boring white powder coat off of it and sprayed it with primer, metallic black, and clear. I wet sanded the clear, used a 3m fine cut rubbing compound, Megs #7 glaze, and Megs #26 wax. Of course, I didn't know about the "let it cure for 30 days first" bit and so a cloth I left sitting on top of it put marks in the paint but oh well. I think I have some pics of it somewhere, but basically I also had cut a window into the case with a custom X Files logo and some green & red lighting (my first custom PC case). Many dremel cutting discs died to make that case mod happen lol.
 
I polished my pc case aswell. I bought one with automotive paint :D

My son got a used batting helmet from our local minor league baseball team that was all scratched up. Not any more.
 
I had a company hire me to buff out a sky light on the top of a two story Victorian home in Portland, Oregon once after the installers scratches the heck out of it.

For me, having only one leg it's kind of scary to get up on the roof of a building with a steep pitch and then run a rotary buffer over a Plexiglas bubble window but it was certainly very different.

Yep...seems some are ready for a 12 step program! Deatailers Anonymous or DA lol
 
I polished my black motorcycle helmet with DC1 and DC2 before I knew what polishing was.
 
I just applied some Wolf's Chemicals Hard Body to my Macbook Pro Retina Display laptop. Two coats after an IPA wipedown. I think it really does resist scratches (or at least transfer of material to the surface).
