OCD-non-car: I am a complete germophobe. Have a thing of hand sanitizer at my home desk and everything. I probably wash my hands a billion times a day.

Car-OCD: A bird crapped on my windshield today. I decided this merited a full wash. Just in case. My hands are still numb.

You know you are killing the good stuff on your hands too.

And just some FYI for all: you kill 99% of all germs with it but that 1% is immune to it and it reproduces more immune germs and soon the sanitizer cant kill any of the germs. Best thing to do is wash hands and that doesnt kill the germs but washes them off in the soap and super germs wont reproduce. Thats why people get sick in hospitals super germs from too much cleaning with germ killing stuff.

You are with most anti-bacterial soaps because of the mechanism by which they work. So far, ethyl alcohol based products don't do this.

Notwithstanding all this OCD nonsense that's been said and laughed about, there is a reward to it. My 15 year old special edition Miata still looks showroom new. I've driven her for 35,000 miles and enjoyed every one of those miles. But due to my aggressive care and maintenance style, I now have a collector's class little prize and, in retrospect, I'm comfortable with my approach. Bottom line: to each his own.

I believe in using the things I buy, so I don't go to that extreme. Like, the people who buy a couch and immediately cover it in plastic so it protects the material and keeps the couch from becoming ugly. Of course, the plastic MAKING it ugly !

I do, however, have a small detail station in my garage with a wall-mounted vaccuum with about 15 feet of hose on it that I can just flip on and hit the carpet/mats with easily.

We interrupt this thread for a quick (out-of-date photo). Not sure why my 2200 PSI Karcher pressure washer is away from its slot. Also, to the right would be my rolling "sit-on-my-butt-while-I-wash-the-lower-sides-of-the-car" apparatus (but I hadn't built it yet

). Finally, I have Altec-Lansing speakers with iPod dock that replaced the "boombox" you see a little bit on the left.

Wash and rinse buckets, about 40 microfiber towels, rubber gloves for winter, a big California Duster hanging, vaccuum attachment (duh!), and that red thing is another hand-carried vaccuum the store (Lowes) just gave me.

Love the hearts on the shelving for your detail stuff..

But seriously that's awesome.. I do not have this OCD gene.. and while a pain I know for some.. it would be awesome to be forced to keep stuff that organized sometimes.
