Am I the only one here who saw the thread title and thought this was about adult film?

I'm constantly given a hard time about how **** I am about my 997s.
Things like ultra clean wheels (every 40 or 50 miles), no rain, no dirt, no dust, no parking....
I'd appreciate hearing some stories from others that are so affected.
Those that drive in the rain need not respond...lol

A friend looked at my car one day and said "sports cars should be sold with black front wheels." I responded, "No, a dark matte grey, almost black. And it should be all four."
I appreciate a clean car - they're beautiful clean. I definitely greatly appreciate those who carefully clean their wheels. It seems like wheels easily stain, and a good clean of the entire wheel can prevent this. While the inner surfaces are not what people notice when looking at a car, a dusky wheel surface is still visible, at times, while a nice, clean one helps the car look that much better. Unfortunately, my current schedule leaves me with little time to clean. The last time my car had a bath, it was Nugget who washed it!
It is so rewarding to spend a few hours really cleaning the car and having it sparkle when you're done. The way the light refracts in a freshly waxed metallic paint is fantastic.

I do that but also align the seam to the opposite end of the sip hole to minimize leakage. And sometimes school the Barista on the necessity of such measures.

Talk about ****: I'll tell you my story and you tell me if I am ****.
I have a deoinzed water supply to avoid water spots on the body (CR spotless system)
I then bought a $$$ Kranzle pressure washer to wash grime/bugs off before applyting soap to avoid scratches on the body due to exoskeletons of the dead bugs even though my usual wash technique is quite **** retentive utilizing a three bucket method using high quality microfibers
I then bought a heated duomax air blower for a touchless drying so that I don't induce any scratches or swirls during drying with a towel.
....and I do wash my car every weekend (95% of the time) and have been doing so for > 14 months. Here is the best part: I am doing all this to not even protect the paint but to protect the clear-bra that is wrapped on the whole car's paint. What do you think I am ??? CRAZZZZZY RIGHT.
