Brainwashing pays off
Well, you've finally succeeded! I've been pulled in to the cult.
Just placed my 1st order for some Detailers Paradise goodies. Hydro, Slick, Clarity bundle and a Monster Fluffy.
I hope I experience the euphoria you all talk about.

Can't someone post a general warning about this addiction? Maybe the Surgeon General or someone like that????

I started down this path with the Coopersport Prima bundle for Christmas, then bought the PC with a holiday bonus (along with OctaneGuy's DVD), then more MFs, gallons of Clarity and Mystique, etc...

Oh well, at least it warmed up enough today to wash and QD the car. Full detail yet to come...

Does Detailers Paradise have a frequent shopper club???

Well...to gauge where your addicition is going to go. I have an interview today that I have to leave at 8:45a for, so I woke up at 6:30a so I could get a quick wash (and hydro) in before the interview. And by the non-addicted's standards, it was already clean . And odds are, no one that even matters will even see me arrive, or depart in my MINI.

Oh Joy! A package from DP on my doorstep!
Tore it open, removed contents, went out to Basil and Clarity'd and Slick'd.
Dang, that Slick smells like it just needs a shot of tequila to make a fine margarita! How about it, Ken? Tried that yet?
