you realize you've removed the gas cap to clean the threads!

This can actually happen when detailing in the garage in 115F in Phoenix.

^I always open up the gas lid and wipe down the cap and the compartment after a wash (so probably do this once every 1-2 weeks). Part of it is to prevent water from dripping down, creating annoying water streaks. The main reason is to prevent water build up in that area, thus decreasing the chance of rusting in that area. I notice a lot of cars with rusted gas lids (or in that area at least).

It's not extreme at all, just part of being an OCD owner....like me lol

My take:

Cleaning inside the gas filler door - dedicated owner.
Cleaning the threads of the gas cap and filler - beyond OCD.

every couple of months i remove the wheels and clean the wheels and the wheel well and under the car(the underside)wax and detail,yes even the oil pan.yes i am nuts!my kids say i am a clean nut and my wife says she wished i would clean the house like that.

I can certainly relate to this. While I don't do the wheel removal/cleaning you do, my car is constantly way cleaner than any of the dorm rooms I've lived in for the past few yrs of college. In fact, I only truly cleaned once all yr before I handed my room back to the school this yr (don't worry it's really not bad normally), whereas I've given a gratuitous amount to the local touchless wash....

I like Lexol, I use the cleaner, then use the conditioner to finish the job. Right now it's just on the wifes truck but pretty soon on my "new" LS project.... Never any complaints about the Lexol.

Lexol conditioner comes out with a matte finish after a wipedown (not a greasy look like some of the others) . Im pretty sure that I havent stained my pants from it. Altough dark pants stain my gray leather over time thats for sure

Ahhh... if you removed each and every wheel lug nut and polished them, then I would be impressed... ha ha.

caddyowner

Um, I've done that. But only when swapping my winter wheels for my summer ones, not during the middle of the summer when washing the car. I do use a leaf blower to blow the water out of the lug openings on the wheels, though.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do now that I have Belle Tire doing my wheel swaps and storing my off-season wheels and tires.
