"Why would anybody care if tires shine?!?!"

Hello!



Just thought I'd share with everybody one of today's experiences. I had to some time to kill this afternoon, and passed by a Target. I figure I'd go in and see if any automotive goodies were on sale. No real bargains to be had, but I saw they had the zymol leather treatments, and meg's tire shine. I grab my goods, and head to the register.



The lady behind me grabs the tire shine, glares at me, and speaks in a loud, semi-angry voice: "Why would anybody care if their tires shine?" At a complete loss of words, I smiled, and said "for the same reason some people like their shoes shined." Explaining the concept of "detailing" would have made her head explode. :angry



Oh well! I guess my obsessive detailing isn't understood by everybody!



I'm just glad the weather is better, and detailing season is here once again!
 
Sometimes I forget that a car full of swirls, rolling on 'brown' tires, with water-marks all over the glass is still considered "clean" by 90% of the motoring public.



Maybe my standards are through the roof since I've been detailing!
 
I can't go ANYWHERE without being disgusted with the amount of swirls on cars. Whether I am grocery shopping, at a red light, ANYWHERE I will always point them out...:wall

I can barely drive my car with a thin layer of dust on it!!!



Hell, it bothered me so much that now I just keep my car in the garage and wash it daily.



I jog to work just to make sure I keep my car immaculate.



I mounted a $3,000 air purification system in my garage to filter out any specs of dust that could land on the surface of the car.



I make people wear bunny suits when they enter my garage...



:nana:



OK not really ... but I thought it was kinda funny :)

It is so very inappropriate for a cashier to comment on *any* product you purchase. Glad you weren't buying anything of a more personal nature...
 
I didn't make it clear in my first post... it wasn't the cashier. It was another customer behind me. She appeared as if she hadn't been "buffed" in many years...!



...all just another reason I really want a house deep in the woods, with really big fences!
 
actually....i prefer a nice clean black tire without dressing on my personal vehicles....it seems like the dressings pick up all the dust and debris around the tires and make them look worse than they are....so i just Blech-White em real good and hose them off then dry them and they 95% of the time come out good enough for me
