am i obsessed?!?

[blackvx]

ever since my first car nissan, 92 sentra EX salloon, i've been obssesed with how clean and shiny my ride looks. my color of choice was white.
my friends say my engine bay is so so clean you can eat off it.

some obsessive compulsive acts i've done regarding my rides:

1. stopping sa gilid ng espanya sa may UST to dry of my car after a short down pour.

2. pinupunasan ko yung ibang smudge ng auto ko gamit yung dulo ng mga
damit kong pan lakad which my wife really hates.

3. canceled ang gimik ko pag biglang umulan at kaka linis ko lang ng auto.

4. i armor-all under chasis of the car para malinis tingnan

normal naman sa ating car lovers yun diba? kayo din ba ganyan?

[BlueBimmer]

medyo nga bro hehe

ako kahit bagong wax lang hinahayaan ko lang kahit umulan, di naman talaga maiwasan e, ayoko lang are the mud splashes

[OTEP]

Kung diyan ka masaya, ok lang siguro.

Dito kasi the vehicles are meant to be used and enjoyed. Hindi naman sila museum pieces. Kahit yung '46 Ford ginamit na namin sa ulan.

[Camgen6]

Tama si Sir Otep kung saan ka masaya pero sobra naman yata ang #2 and #3. hehehe.

1. stopping sa gilid ng espanya sa may UST to dry of my car after a short down pour.

Did this a couple of times, I prefer to wash my car compared to this.

2. pinupunasan ko yung ibang smudge ng auto ko gamit yung dulo ng mga damit kong pan lakad which my wife really hates.

Usually do this when there is wax residue. I usually wax during weeknights, so I always see wax residue the next day.

3. canceled ang gimik ko pag biglang umulan at kaka linis ko lang ng auto.

Di ko pa nagagawa to unless heavy rain talaga and flood prone yung pupuntahan ko.

4. i armor-all under chasis of the car para malinis tingnan

I don't put armol all on the wheel well.

normal naman sa ating car lovers yun diba? kayo din ba ganyan?

Well it all boils down on how "OC" you are, and how much time you are willing to spend cleaning your car :D

[Chip]

have you considered a career in automotive detailing?

[chain]

hindi ka obsessed... welcome to the club.

just check out the middle pages of the detailing thread.. you'll find out that there's alot of guys like you.

[totoybato]

Di ba pa nagseselos ang misis mo sa kotse mo? hehehe

[NazQ]

oks lang yan chong, lkung san ka masaya. meron din akong barkadang ganyan dati.. pag may puddle ang takbo mga 5kph lang para daw hindi maputikan ang wheel well.

1. stopping sa gilid ng espanya sa may UST to dry of my car after a short down pour.

May I ask - what do you use to dry off your vehicle.

2. pinupunasan ko yung ibang smudge ng auto ko gamit yung dulo ng mgadamit kong pan lakad which my wife really hates.

May I ask - is your clothes 100% cotton?

3. canceled ang gimik ko pag biglang umulan at kaka linis ko lang ng auto.

I never did this.

As OTEP said - cars are meant to be used and enjoyed. Why deprive yourself of the joys of life to just keep your car sparkling clean?

normal naman sa ating car lovers yun diba? kayo din ba ganyan?

IMO - what you posted is just too much for me. I'd rather spend my time on more important matters (like sleeping :hihihi

But hey - it's your time & life. Hehe.

[BlueBimmer]

^+1

onga ikaw na ang nagseserbisyo sa sasakyan, not the other way around hehe

[CVT]

Only did those kind of things(not armor-all the under chassis though - to me this is extreme) on my first/second/third(?) cars (and I was younger).

Now, I only do a few of those stuffs. But, I still take very good care of our vehicles.


:starwars:

[Imau]

medyo pa lang yan bro. pero kung minsan eh naiisip mong pakasalan yang sasakyan mo e ibang usapan na yan. baka nga obsessed ka na

[prysm_1]

ok lang yan.

ako maski hindi kagandahan sasakyan ko linis pa rin ako ng linis kaya lang minsan 11pm ako naglilinis sabi ng wife ko addict daw ako sa car wax.

hirap kasi mag ipon para makabili nun eh. kaya alaga hangat ma kaya.
hehehe
,prysm

[kinyo]

obsessed ka nga ... pero kung dun ka masaya, edi suportahan ta ka

[silhouette]

Hindi naman.:car:

Wait, do you use gloves when driving or your interior is still wrapped in plastics? If so, OO. Obsessed nga..

[blackvx]

no gloves. tanggal naman lahat ng plastic loob.

actually with two kids and one more on the way sabi ng kuya ko na i won't be able to maintain the car as well. nasa guam kasi siya and his car like ****. may bakat pa ng mga candy sa may shift boot.

awa ng diyos amoy at mukhang bago pa naman yung family ride ko.
medyo nagseselos nga si Mrs paminsan. pero supportive naman siya at nahilig na rin sa malilinis na auto. siya na nga nag babawal sa iba naming kaibigang kumain sa loob ng auto namin. makes my life easier.

yung sa ulan issue, it only happens when i spend a lot of time detailing it. nang hihinayang lang naman ako sa oras na inubos ko at uubusin ulit.

5 kph pag may puddles!?! sobra na yata yung friend! ako mga 8 kph naman. hahahaha!

[1D4LV]

ganyan ako before. nung bago pa oto ko.
ngayon, i really don't care. its either, i am too tired to be like that or i really don't see the effort now compared nung bago pa oto ko.
bihira na nga din akong magpa car wash ngayon eh.... nag-uuulan kasi tuwing gabi, sayang pera....
but i still maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of the interiors.

pero normally pag summers, i wax my car twice a month, wash it once a week.

[OTEP]

Ok lang naman ang may kids. Turuan mo na lang sila maglinis ng sasakyan para maapreciate nila at hindi nila dumihan. Ganun kasi kami dati.

Laki ng natitipid sa car wash at detailing ng father ko.

1. stopping sa gilid ng espanya sa may UST to dry of my car after a short down pour.

Nope. Pero tempting...hehehee

2. pinupunasan ko yung ibang smudge ng auto ko gamit yung dulo ng mga
damit kong pan lakad which my wife really hates.

If ever somebody touches my car (ex. security guard leaves his finger prints on my trunk as I enter the mall parking), I immediately whip out my QD spray and MF towel as soon as I park the car.

3. canceled ang gimik ko pag biglang umulan at kaka linis ko lang ng auto.

I don't join gimmicks if I know I won't find good parking. For me, good parking should be:
- COVERED
- Spacious --> safe from door dings
- Malayo sa human traffic para hindi sandalan, fingerprintan, iwanan ng softdrink cup yung kotse

4. i armor-all under chasis of the car para malinis tingnan

I don't armor all... mahal eh. Hehehe... I just make sure my wheel wells are clean--spotless...as in pwedeng dilaan.

normal naman sa ating car lovers yun diba? kayo din ba ganyan?

I guess it's normal SO LONG AS YOU CAN sustain it without damaging your sanity and your relationship with your significant others.
