Say for example, do you wash the insides of your wheels when doing Tire Rotations, clean the engine compartment when doing oil changes, get all the Door Jams and inside the Hatch/trunk when washing?

I know for me when I am just washing and waxing i get all the nooks and cranys of my M6. B/c I know if I wash it and then its all clean and I go to throw something in my truk and all that un-washed surface area is spotty it annoys me, thats why I don''t take it to places to get it washed its a waste of money for one and they don''t do nearly as good of a job as a good old fasion washing by hand.

What do U mean "anal"? Anal? Of course, after an O-change, you''d clean the engine compartment ... and when washing, of course any reasonable owner would clean the jams ... its not anal, its THOUROUGH ... and when doing an oil change, one would make sure the oil was at EXACTLY the right level ... tire pressure should be precisely correct ... that doesn''t make me anal ... I''m simply a right thinking owner. How anal am I? Not at all. I''m just precise, and caring, and reasonable.

That''s hilarious, Ken.
Yeah, if I wash at home I do all that, especially if getting ready for a meet. Then I make sure all ther jams and hinge areas, inner doors, etc. are clean and dry. Except maybe the tire dressing on the INSIDE. Don"t think I"ve done that one. But washing the entire wheel, inside and out and tire when rotating? Yes!! That"s what takes me so damn long to rotate my DAMNED tires!!!
Last year my neighbor''s wife asked me if I was TRYING to rub all the paint off.
