What do you notice the most?

I just got new tires on my car and cleaned it a bit.

I always clean my rims and windows (inside and out) and notice people that don’t do these things. Dirty front rims are pretty cringe to me thinking they haven’t rotated or really paid attention to anything wheel related and if I happen to drive my girls car or somebody else I notice how dirty the windshields are, and offer to clean them.

What’s something you notice people neglect on a car that makes you consciously think about it ?

There are different types of car guys... There's car show guy, who keeps all of his stuff pristine and ceramic coats his wheels.

Then there's racer guy, who treats his truck like his race car... Mechanically sound but zero interest in cleaning wheel barrels full of brake dust or even washing the truck more than once every few months.

Nothing you mentioned registers as "neglect" on my radar. For most people, a car is an appliance. How often do you take everything out of your fridge and scrub it inside and out?

Cars are meant to be driven. Going to the track or autocross will cover the front wheels in brake dust. I’ll spray them off with a pressure washer but I’m not going to get on my knees and scrub the wheels all the time. Especially if I’m going to take it to the track the next weekend too.
