Railgun Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Just in from giving the lady a bit of TLC. Not as much time as I usually spend on her, as she wasn't too bad. Had my usual 5 min stand back and admire session, then back indoors for a cuppa, and as usual I'm one chilled out pony. Anyone else find it a good de-stress tool, or do I need help. Quote
rabbitstew Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 To be honest I find it quite stressful. Im trying to renovate a house and dont tend to get home from work until half 7 in the week. So, last weekend I had no time to clean the car, so last night there was me, in the dark trying to wash and clean my car. My missus got back from shopping and had to park her car with the lights on so I could see which bits of the car i was drying. Not only that, you end up noticing new marks on the car which need extra attention or you spent 3 hours waxing only for some bird to come along and sh!t on it - or it rains so hard over night that your car ends up covered in dirt and moss off the house roof. The other week I had to give my boss a lift into work, so I spent about 4 hours on the Sunday cleaning my car - then it rains over night and I end up driving into work Monday morning with a car which looked filthier than before id cleaned it. This time of year its a nightmare, the cars covered in bugs every night coming home from work and the ferredo brakepads seems to turn the front wheels black within days. And we havent even got to the real car killing months where all the road salt and dirt soon end up trashing the car. Quote

Railgun I thought you where talking about something else there It sounded like a Swiss Tony moment! Quote
Stew Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Since this is in off topic I think we need clarification...... You do mean cleaning the car don't you? Quote
Railgun Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 PMSL. Cleaning the car isn't quite like making love to a beautiful woman 'apparently'! I do find my mind wanders and it helps straighten my head out. Mind you, having said that, so does ironing! Maybe I really do need help. Quote

Obvious. Joke. Oh, I see several people already did, ! Quote

Dom187 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I find it relaxing I love rubbing her curves! And thats both the Mrs and the Car! Quote

Lots of hard work and at the end you feel like someone else could have done a better job? actually LOL'd at that, not good as i'm supposed to be working I find cleaning the outside is just tiring mainly (spent about 6 hours out there yesterday), but doing a good interior detail is properly relaxing, maybe because it involves lots of sitting down.

bronzee Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Detailing is very therapeutic. Achieving that perfect extremely high gloss finish. Unless it's detailing for Concours, here in February, when it's at least 30 degrees. Quote
