sh3p Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Oki i think i may be losing it & i'm sure my neighbors are convinced i have, the reason being i have just had to wash the car at 18:50 in the dark & just started to rain, but i pulled up outside my house which has a street light outside & it had been raining today at work & very windy/dusty & the car was filthy. Now i had spent around 3-4 hrs cleaning her yesterday foamed, rinsed, cleaned, clay bar,polished,waxed & sealed & just couldn't leave her in that state i would have never settled for the night. Now i'm thinking i must be nuts anybody else have the same affliction ? Edited October 6, 2011 by sh3p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YJ52 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Lol nothing wrong with that at all imo. Last time I washed my Celica in the dark was last Friday eveing although it was not dark when I started it but certainly was by the time I'd given it a lil wax with Dodo juice!! Did have to do a little inspection in the morning tbh to make sure there were no lil bits missed. But all good. Still clean and shiny now in fact and its rained on and off for past 2 days. even my Dad commented tonight on how shiny and nice it looked with its lil beads of water!! So yep OCD maybe, but I do love a shiny clean Celica!!! You carry on Shep! Ps Thanks to Matt back ones are in and looking good! Fronts still sat in my front room at moment, but they match with my sofa very well indeed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
