Your weird!
Right, i wash my car every weekend. I spend alot of time doing it, but i enjoy it.
Im out on my drive today waxing and sealing it, when i see my mum and sister looking out of the window laughing at me 
When i ask them whats so funny, they reply "You weird, why do you wash your car so much, and why does it take you ages?" lool
I think the neighbours are starting to think im a bit of a strange one too lol.
Anyone else get this abuse, or is it just me lol.

Lol happens to us all.......My mum always moans at me as most weeks atleast 1 new product gets delivered and it does take me ages to clean lol.
Just a wash / dry etc etc takes me like 3 hours
And if its a big clean it easily can take me a whole weekend lol
Luckily i have a mint girlfriend who completly understands my love/addiction to the Saxo and normally helps me out when cleaning it.......like today when i conditioned the leather seats she scrubbed and applied megs gel to my tyres.

Every time, without fail, I'll get the same select few people who walk past, or pop their head out of the front door and say "You'll wash the paint away" and every time I say, "well lets hope the rain stays away!"... Typically english! Anyone else get nosey no-it alls?!
