Anyone Else a Neat Freak with Their Cars?

[joesregalproject]

Its no secret I'm a complete neat freak with my cars. I try to keep all my cars as spotless as possible at all times. The only things I keep in my daily driver '99 Suburban are the owners manual, maintenance receipts, registration and insurance papers, a set of jumper cables and a bottle of oil in the under-hood storage box. I clean under the hood every time I wash the car. Even my key ring is pretty empty, I only have the car key and fob, key to my house, and one membership card that I use multiple times daily. I wash and vacuum my cars at least once or twice a week. Almost everyone else I know has tons of clutter in their car, but I figure I can't be the only person who always keeps their cars neat and clean. Anyone here the same way?

I used to be. I keep my malibu very clean or as much as i can. Gets cleaned when needed or if I'm going to a show But i don't think I'm a neat freak. My daily on the other hand no.

It's the car my dogs shake in when they're wet and had their nose prints and drool on the glass so I don't worry about it.

I used to drive myself crazy about keeping my cars clean but I got tired of spending all day cleaning them.

My regal, I only ever got to clean out really good once before I parked it in my backyard due to the blown V6. My thunderbird, I JUST started to clean it for the first time since I got it last December. The entire floor (well what's left of it anyway. I sense a trip to Home Depot soon) was covered in the hard, brittle, crumbly remains of the passenger and driver's seat foam. Side note, anyone have any good recommendations for reupholsters in Iowa and the cheapest place to buy sheet metal at to make a new floor?

None of my cars have an interior to get dirty but I do try and keep them clean

MrSony,

For sheet metal, try finding a local welding shop and see if they can get it for you through their supplier. If not ask them who their supplier is and try to get it from them directly. Tell them exactly what you want and how much (for floors I usually order a 4'x8' sheet). I use 18 ga usually galvanized for floors and floor patches.

When your wife seems to make a mess of the inside leaving water bottles and crumbs all over from food, you just kind of give up a bit.

I like keeping my car clean more so the interior, the exterior too but my paint is meh. I like to keep it clean but there's a point where you cross and people begin to idolize a car and I stay away from stuff like that.
