My son says I'm obsessed, Am I?
My son says I'm obsessed. I rotated my tires yesterday and while I had them off I decided to wash the back side of my rims. He's like "Why, no one will ever know they're clean because they can't see that side". I told him"I'll know".
As I was cleaning them some door-to-door salesman walks up and says, "Man, I've never seen someone take off their wheels just to clean them".
Some folks just don't understand

If I've got the wheels off at home and have the time, I'll at least give the insides a quick wash out... it's a lot easier to get the inside barrel clean from the back side than fighting all of the wheel spokes and brake calipers with a brush to clean 'em while the wheels are mounted on the car.
You are obsessed. Admit it. Own it. Love it. Welcome to the club!
Speaking of that, my fresh coat of powder on the wheels should be well cured and off-gassed by now... time for a wash and a coat of Zaino on the inside!

Wow... you wanna talk about misplaced modifiers? What do the kids say when you are clay bar-ing and waxing them? Should teach 'em right for talking bad about their elders!

I think my response would have been: "Do you wash things so that they are CLEAN or just to look good to other people?"
Seems like a good opertunity to explain the diffrence between purpose and shallowness. Reminds me of a verse...
Mat 23:25-27
25"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.

One time I was at a long stop light and saw a spot. I did my typical cleaning. Looked over and these two hot girls in the car next to me were laughing. Kinda like this:
[I prefer, of course, to think they were flirting with me. Leave me to my delusions, thank you.]

He's right, of course.
I once polished and waxed the insides of some polished aluminum wheels. My excuse was that they were raw aluminum. They had to be polished to clean off the oxidation, then waxed to keep the brake dust from doing damage. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
