I'd love to have the problems you guys do. I live in a damn apartment complex. It have to go rent a stall somewhere just to wash mine. Claybar and wax 
I don't think so. It's easier and not much more expensive to take it to the detail shop. When I get a house with a garage or even just a driveway, then I'll complain about my neighbors too. For now, I'm just jealous that you all have the place to wash your trucks and I have to squeeze my Screw into a carport that's barely wide enough for a Civic and I've got ricers on both sides of me.

The one that gets me is "Why are you going thru that much effort, it is just a truck." Yes it is a truck, but it is my truck and although it is used for work and I put alot of miles on it, it will remain clean and neat. Although after claying the beast, and putting multiple coats of wax on, I sometimes wonder myself.

LOL!
You guys are killing me! And that bush is awesome. Wish they sold those at Home Depot, bet they'd sell like hotcakes!
Truth is I wish I had the time to wash my truck even once a week, but between my home improvement projects, my 8mo old twins, my honey-do list, work, and and the fact that my truck usually just sits in the garage most of the time, I find it hard to justify the time it takes me to do the total detail job.
The other thing is that my wife just doesn't understand the whole truck/ guy/ detailing thing. I get a lot of "are you gonna' be done pretty soon" or "gees, I thought you'd be done by now". Oh well, even my dirty Ford looks better than a clean Chevy or Dodge!

my neighbors watch us do yardwork, wash vehicles, etc.
One day my neighbor came over and he was like "What year is your truck?"
"It's a 2002 sir"
"WOW that paint looks good for being 4 years old!"
"What?"
"and I can't get over your wheels!"
"exucuse me?"
"They are so shiny!"
"Leave...now..go home.."
he also drives 5 under the speed limit EVERY WHERE.

I don't really have any neighbor problems, unless you count barking dogs and screaming kids.
