The Official OCDetailer Hall Of Fame

That's right, you read it right. Do you know anyone worthy of the honor of belonging in The OCDetailer's Hall Of Fame ?? If so, here's where you nominate them.

If I feel the nomination is worthy, I'm going to put it up to vote among our charter members of The Hall (now I have to tell them that they are charter members, they don't know yet. It takes a unanimous agreement among the charter members to be inducted into The Hall.

Please limit your nominations to one person per day. The charter members are busy guys, as witnessed by their low post counts.

In your nomination, clearly outline why you feel the nominee is deserving. What does he/she do that any sane person would not do to keep their MINI beautiful ?

Nominations will open tomorrow, July 23rd, 2008. You have until midnight tonight to think over if you have anyone worthy of nomination.

I will keep a list on this post of those inducted.

Sounds too complicated.

You can't nominate anyone YET.



You can nominate yourself, sure. If you wash your car EVERY day before work, you shouldn't be in the OCD HOF, you should be in the assylum.

Okay, I have two of my charter members of the HOF here today. Mel, are you up to the task of voting on our nominees ??

And what's up with the tongue biting ?

I think you already secured a nomination with that flow chart. You can relax.

Did I hear someone bellow my name. I've been putting together a small detailing package for a work buddy. He just got an 08 Black VW Rabbit. Going to give him some clay, QD, some carwash, and an oz. of BG, so he can protect his new car.

I nominate Warped1966!

He took on the awesome sun burn a few weeks ago spending an entire Saturday detailing the mess out of this car from head to toe. He's been trying to keep it that way also. Lets not even explain him trying to push his detailing products my way.

I joke him that I have a life and my product of choice is Ice by Turtlewax. It goes on fast, comes off fast and leaves the car looking acceptable by MY means.

OH, did I mention he's not into swirl marks for some reason. That's my trademark for how hard I worked that wax job.

Thank you for asking, but I will just watch this, as I would hate for there to be any perception of any form of bias on my part.

Your car would look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better with some Epic and Hydro on it! Just wait till you see Tug at the GWR500. I'm spending Thursday afternoon on him come hell or high water (or a rented garage!) until he is BLINDINGLY shiny! The last time you saw him, he only had Hydro on. Thursday he is getting 2 coats of Epic and as many coats of Hydro as I can get on him before I collapse in exhaustion (or die from sun poisoning)! So... HA HA! Take that! *cackles with glee* Glee? WTF is glee anyway? I need sleep...
