Anybody else into this expensive, somewhat sad yet rewarding hobby?
I've spent hundreds on it now - just today bought a clay bar and lambswool wash mitt. I've got dozens of products in my stash - microfibre chamois, waxes, polishes, an electric buffer, quick detailer, exterior products, microfibre/terry cloths...
It's expensive but I like spending hours on my car, giving it a mirror finish. I'm doing my mum's car for her on Monday - a Pajero with shitty oxidised paint dying for a detail. It's gonna chew up a pooload of wax... I'm looking forward to it; picks will be posted! Then you'll understand why it's so rewarding. Turning a surface like fogged up glass into like a perfectly flawless mirror reflection: t'is fun!
Discuss! I know a few detailers, and am the resident car care expert at my work, and generally have knowledge-through-interest so I can answer any questions any people have.
