How do you all explain to your significant others that even though you have a shelf or shelves full of product that you don't have enough and need more? It seems like my wife is spying on me, if I bring one new thing home within a day she asks what is new, and why I need it. :)
 
Kinda' like make-up & shoes for women.

If your wife doesn't wear make-up, or shoes...you have bigger problems.

That is my problem. She doesn't wear makeup or have a large shoe collection. She does scrap book but hasn't bought much in a long time.

I find it's best to let this little ditty do all my explaining:

Occasionally buying the wife something helps!
 
I ask her if she likes eating and having a roof over her head

She never questions anything I purchase
 
Im the MANLMAO!! Man I feel ya!! I just detail her car and then she should be ok. A nice dinner and some attention to her helps too!!
When I pay attention to her my girlfriend lets me live for one more day or I do not get my daily beating!!

Just tell her we have a detailing obsession and we have a group called Detailers Anonymous that we will attend

My name is CJ and I am an obsessed detailer!!

Coopers ST will you be my sponsor?

Im the MAN

:laughing: That's great!

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.

I go with "I'm just trying to find the right combination of products to cut down my time with my car so I can spend more with you!"

This is the corollary to when you get caught "looking" and drop: "can you believe she is wearing that? I'm glad you have better style than that."
 
Tell her you enjoy working on cars almost as much as you enjoy her company.
 
Tell her you're trying to find a few products that keep her car looking as beautiful as she is.......:props:
 
Tell here it's better you spend your $ on detailing stuff than:

1. Drugs.

2. Booze.

3. Gambling.

4. A new girlfriend.

5. Divorce.

Suddenly, it may not seems so bad.
 
Well coming from a detailing background and having a decently fast race car/street car I will say the race car was a bit more expensive so when I buy detailing products she usually doesn't question it as long as it's with my side job money I make detailing on weekends.
 
If you keep her car looking good then she shouldn't ever complain. Works for me.
