How many of you find yourselves....

I actually have my wife and kids doing it now. My oldest sons asks me if I want him to talk to the owner about his ugly car! He is only 6. I laugh my tail off overtime! One of these days I am going to step back and watch him talk to someone.

I love how honest kids are....its hilarious!!
 
This can backfire btw...

I was walking back to my car with my girlfriend, and I telling her how jacked this car parked next to me was. Well, the guy was in his car, and heard me!

Nothing to bad, but he did tell me to F-off....
 
I catch myself thinking "ow, clearcoat failure", "clean but swirled", "not to bad- Menz 106 wold fix it right up" as I observe cars on my walks. It's goes with the obsession I guess.
 
99% of the cars I see on the street or in the parking lot need a good pressure washing and soaking with a foam gun or foam cannon first.
 
I do it ALL the time. I just like looking to see what other people are doing. In a perfect world, I'll get some DA practice in this spring/summer and eventually warm up to doing other peoples' cars. The business on my block alone would be astounding. I live in the city, so everything's street-parked. I think the mentality of most living in the city is that, "it's going to get bumped/scratched/stolen anyway, so why bother?", but there are a lot of black German cars on my block that are in dire need of a polish.
 
its getting to the point I can't go to classic car shows or auto shows and enjoy myself anymore. Classic Cars I really don't understand how you can invest so much time and money and have a swirled up car. Doesnt help when the owner uses quick detailer and a dirty rag in the sun on a dusty car/
 
I do it ALL the time. I not only look, but sometimes I HAVE to touch and feel the paint surface to see if it's waxed or clayed.

Stupid I know...

Always, but I try to stay a few feet away just in case I notice a new mark that I don't want to see yet :).

On a side note I have noticed that store parking lots have the best swirl lighting. Stuff I cannot see in the sun jumps out underneath the parking lights at my local grocery store.
