Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Literally, this guy goes to town detailing his brand new car.
Not 56k friendly. There are literally hundreds of pics in the thread.

I just wasted half an hour at work. That guy is OCD, and I appreciate taking care of your car, but whoa excessive.

^^ Looked like it was number 600 of some 800 or so of that edition of the car. So I guess it's rare. But seriously.. that's stupid.

At first it didn't look too bad and unfamiliar  , but when the paint depth meter came out, I shook my head.
It is a Vauxhall Astra, FFS.

Because it has a paint imperection you can only see under ultraviolet light.

Wow... and I thought I was bad.
edit: After more reading, I'm just floored. He complains about marks from paint pens on the interior paint under the carpet??!?!?!? Seriously, wtf?

hmm...looks like the thread is getting so much attention that the board administrator made it mandatory to register before viewing the thread. You didn't need to register this morning to view it.

Ya, no kidding. My vehicles always have a not-so-faint odor of dawg and a half inch coating of dawg fur on the carpet, not to mention road film, chipped windshields, dings in the paint, etc. It'd be miserable to be that anal ... he must be one of those guys that only craps once a month.

Well I sure hope it didn't rain the night he finished all that cleaning on the first page. His head likely would have exploded.
I like a clean car but man, reel yourself in a tad.

I have some customers like this. One can see imperfections that the factory reps can't even see. Selling to him over the years, I realize that he isn't being a jerk, stuff like that really bothers him. It can drive my boss up the wall. I have to calm him down saying thats just the way he is and if we don't like it we don't have to sell to him.

Anyone else find it odd he detailed it, THEN did the modifications? I mean why detail the interior panels, then rip it all apart?

Yup.
What a nutjob though. You'd never really be able to enjoy your car would you? I'd think he'd always be concerned about how his shoes might be slightly dusty. I wonder what his house looks like...

He probably takes up 6 spots at the grocery store parking lot to avoid dings.
