Similar to many other human behaviors OCD levels vary amongst individuals.

Hum. . . how is it OCD simply using the right soap and brush for the right job? Also, if you think using a lint brush on a fabric top is OCD, your clearly have never owned a fabric top before. It is 100% genius. Just like all of us that go through our day outside or eat, we occasionally need to brush off our shirt to get crumbs, dust, a bug, or or dirt off. That is all that we are talking about using a lint brush for on the fabric top. Occasionally, the fabric top just needs to be brushed off and the lint roller is magical at that. Negates having to wash the car more. . . If a bird poops on your coupe top, do you just leave it? Likely not. Same thing with the beautiful fabric top. But you know, you do you. When I pass you by in the restaurant with you shirt full of crumbs that have fallen out of your mouth, no by all means, don't brush them away. . .;-)

Come on bro, don’t get your feathers ruffled. I was simply replying to an earlier comment (From NickL) that suggested that the amount of attention/ care was a bit overboard. Some will agree and some disagree with his statement. I simply pointed out that OCD behavior varies substantially between individuals and the spectrum is very broad (Which is factual). What’s reasonable to one person is excessive to another and again neglectful to a 3rd etc. All types of human mannerisms fall along a scale from minimal to extreme. No need to feel offended. That wasn’t the intent.

Ha, this reminded me of Trump scolding Zelensky yesterday and screaming at him "you don't get to tell us how we feel. . ." I can't imagine deciding to get my "feathers ruffled" or be "offended" by anything that is posted in a social forum about cars. . . Didn't you see my smiley face on that post:-?

Nope I missed it, my bad.😊
Sometimes reading text you can miss the context that’s there with direct verbal communication.

Now that is a trio of cars rather distinctive from one another in terms of driving character and overall aura.

RaggTopp.

My 911 had a black top so I kept a lint roller handy to keep it clean. It literally takes about 90 seconds if you do it routinely.
