I inspect my car everytime I get in and out of it. I can tell you were they are dings on my car. Mostly on the hood as I noticed the paint isn''t to strong on these cars.

After a lengthy wash, when I dry off my MS3 I open up all the doors and dry off the hinges. Also I open the hood and wipe down the entire engine compartment. I did the same routine when I had my Acura, and it stayed almost factory clean for 8 years! If I had a lift, I would clean underneath the car as well as inside of the rims. I am anal to the point that I get pissed when people touch the glass and put their finger prints on the glass. I keep Windex and paper towels in the back to combat this. LOL

Well my neighbor called me a little anal last night, as he watched me clean the insides of my rims and put tire dressing on the insides of the tires. I am just glad he wasn''''t there for the wash later or the oil change from the night before

i do that too.. although it doesnt help that i have alot of carbon on my rims haha. when i take off the rims and put the snows on it takes me 4 hours just to clean them. pain int he ass if you ask me tho

4 hours? You don''t have to use a toothbrush to get the carbon off ...

How anal am I?

I will not sit in a restaurant if it doesn''t have a window that I can see the car from.

Jaimie, is that your Cessna 172?! I''m so jealous.

I won''t let anyone eat in my 3 so I can keep the "new car" smell (it''s lasted 6 months so far). Bought a detailing kit and white cotton towels for washing. I bought Armour All, too, but now I''m scared to use it, lol. BUT... I can''t do my own oil changes anymore since I moved away from home into an apartment! I had to take it in for an oil change last month, and I''m pretty sure I left nose and hand prints on the glass while I eyed the mechanic''s every move.

Next time I go home to rotate tires, I''m washing the inside of my wheels. Good idea...

Jaimie works for a small air strip part of the time. Weekends, I think. He took the picture because the plane was there. It''s not his.
