Trashcan Detailing!

Wow, maybe I'm just in a humorless mood today, but I'm not getting the snarkiness of the responses.

Aren't we all clean freaks here? Don't we have threads about people detailing their lawnmowers, barbeques, toolboxes, showers, and kitchen counters and appliances?

I appear to be in the minority, but props to the OP for cleaning and dressing his trash can. I just washed my recycling bins a couple of weeks ago, good way to use up some car wash I don't want anymore (and they stunk of garbage from the recycling guys throwing them in the back of the garbage truck to empty them). And OPC is fantastic for cleaning motor oil spills out of garbage cans.
 
I cleaned the inside of my shop vac then applied UIGP to see if it would help with clean up the next time. Hasn't been a next time yet though.

I did my window ac unit before I put it in the other day. APC, then leftover rinseless, then Rupes P808 sealant. Thought about an AIO on it but didn't. Probably should have, the 808 didn't bead to well on it. :)
 
I've just finished using a clay bar on my can! Actually no I'm not that particular. I do have an airbrushed and clearcoated hot-rod trashcan in my shop that I won at a show. Maybe it deserves a waxing. I will admit I have used stoner's Trim Shine on some odd things like the plastic sides of my mower. :-)
 
I just stripped and polished a painted fire extinguisher. After I got the paint off, the copper was buffed and shined like a mirror. I put PBL surface coating on it.
But I don't polish what I put my dogs p**p into.

I'm with you. I get giving OP a little ribbing, but I'm sure we're all guilty of going overboard on something or another.

Lesson learned: Wolfang Uber Rinseless on refrigerator: Magnets are rendered useless and everything slides to the floor...

That's how I first met the ex-wife.

Wow, Didn't expect the responses I got. I don't think it's that weird to hit them with a little shine every once in a while. Back when I worked at a restaurant, we would spray the black plastic cans with interior cleaner to keep them looking new. I just do the same to the ones I have at home so they don't fade so bad.



Now that i think about it a good ceramic coat could keep the crap from sticking to the inside of it....

Lol

I'm sure all the responses were in good nature, connor. To be honest I thought you were kidding at first. But like another said, I'm sure we all have went a little overboard on something other than a vehicle. Me? I'm guilty of it with my Delta cabinet saw. ;)
 
I got paid to polish a backup generator last year.ss green with a lot of louvers pita.
 
thinking I might try polishing the shower and bathtub now but may have to hang a sign "slippery when wet" or something

I have compounded both. The fiberglass in mine started to yellow so i hit it with a 3m marine fiberglass/gelcoat polish. It's only slippery for the first shower or so.

Had a friend that used to polish her FURNACE. When it was replaced 4 years ago it was like new. 40 years old. Yes the house was immaculate. Frank
 
I polish and coat the bathroom sink with different products to see how long they last under severe conditions. Trash can, no. I always put a bag in the can so they stay clean. Just APC on the exterior. But this thread has me thinking...

Apc on the outside! Now we're talking.

Adding my trash can to my detailing routine is about as likely to happen as Hillary Clinton is to be convicted AND punished for a crime.
