what is every one OCD about there camaro

[gringo]

Rock chips. I hate rock chips, either on the paint or on the front windshield. Right now, I'm not even driving my car that much until I get some Xpel installed on the car.

I've noticed that since I haven't driven on the freeways yet, I haven't had any rock chips. The freeways are like air tunnels of rocks and debris when you drive on them. It's no wonder because of all the dirt hauler big rigs around here spewing out their loads through their stupid open top containers. Ugh!

My windshield was perfect until a small rock pinged my glass. I wasn't even on the freeway when it happened. I was on a side road that went alongside the freeway and I still got hit. Something must have flowned up from the freeway. Oh well, nothing's perfect forever I guess.

i valet my mustang after each drive..sometimes waxing it 10 times a week..
my summer cars have to be pristine all the time

[OHIOSS]

I've had my car since 2009, I was crazy excited for the first 2-3 years. Now I treat it like just another car. I have a black SS and it gets dirty to easy and I just don't have the gumption to clean it after every time I drive it.

My car looks good from 10feet
Any closer and you can spot some bad bad bad paint touch up from a paint pen and I mean a raised glob of black paint on the scratch that sits higher then the paint its all around the hood and passenger side door ��
Last owner also liked to bang the doors in to stuff when opening the doors the edges are chipped ��
My car needs a full strip down to metal and respray probability 6-8grand and I not doing that in California because California has outlawed oil based paint here only water based paint.
The paint thats left from the photos I have taken getting that nice wet look thats just my own detail experience showing.
I'm my cars 3erd owner. 1st owner took good care 2end owner tired to but probably lived in a bad area where people just mess with your car to make them self's feel better. So I got a low mile v6 24,500 miles M6 now almost 27,000 for a 2012 thats low alot of v6's get driven as a DD I was seeing some with 100,000 even a few with 170,000 miles. I just want my car un messed with

Touching my car with your bare fingers? No touchy! The door handles are ok, but that's it.
My daughter riding her bike near my car? I will flatten her tires.
Dirty ass shoes? You can walk with them nasty things.

Luckily I park at work in a totally empty 3 storey parking garage. I get premium parking (work overnights). When I go shopping I try and park out of the way, but some people will purposely park right next to you, because people are morons.

I do not subscribe to the 'It's just a car' mindset. I still owe $17k on an 8 year old car. This is literally the ONLY nice thing I have in my life, personal possession wise at least. I try my hardest to take some pride in my car. When someone else is so disrespectful of that, it really sets me off. I just don't get it.

I know the feeling.
My personal possessions are a chair I found behind a building 10 years ago
My bed California king bigets bed made......witch I also found.
My clothing witch I have had since high school now 30 years old (looks super professional and adult in my out of bed and dressed what more do you want shirt)
And a 9 year old gaming PC. Been homeless alot lost everything many times.
Oh and my car that's everything I own. So when people mistreat my stuff its fixed with fists to face

Dust on the dash. I keep a microfiber in the backseat and lightly go over the dash and radio every day

.... man, I could go on...... so I'll concur here and say EVERYTHING...

"keeping the trim black"? Don't tell me Armor All or equivalent.

That crap will degrade the plastic over time! I know from personal experience on a past car.

[IMadeYouReadThis]

I'm really OCD leaving it in a parking lot. Always insanely paranoid and stressed out that somebody's going to slam their door into my car I have been like that since my 2002 and only with Camaro somebody hits my truck I'll hit him back lol

Adams Super VRT. And if at any time my trim gets degraded, it will get replaced.

the thing i found with armor all.........and im not using it
is if for whatever reason you ever stop using it yeah things go by by and degrade. sadly its a use for life product if you do start using it.

the one time i found it useful was when i got my crown vic painted. i used the stuff under the hood everywhere i wanted to keep nice. the overspray came off and did not stick.
so it does have some use in places

I am somewhat OCD about checking my oil level. I check mine at least once a week, sometimes more often if I am not medicated.

[3hounddogs]

OCD? Who, me? Yep. I'd say that my OCD is a dirty car. Let it rain on my Camaro and there will be water spots. IT MUST BE WASHED AND THE CLEAR COAT MUST SHINE!


The other OCD thing would be a dirty interior. Floor mats / carpet must be clean!

Ask my wife, when we had a C4 Corvette, I spent A LOT of time keeping it clean. I expect no less with my first Camaro.

Cheers!

That's probably a good thing. Now I will be checking under the hood...
