I stopped finding joy in it. I can be your level of anal about details but wife and kids kind of killed that. You can get 90% of the way there, the final 10% will take the same amount of time and effort as the first 90%, and etc etc.
I used to spend days wire tucking my computer, and trying to eke the last Mhz from OC. I haven't touched any of that in like 20 years.

The X5 has ventilated seats. BMW ventilated seats suck in instead of blowing out. My seats are saturated with fart.

There's a shop in the GTA where the guy operates similarly to you but he takes it further to full blown psychotic. A full car detail, scratches filled in, colour matched, and any dings, bumps, and bumps, he will correct. A car correction takes several weeks and people are willing to pay for his services. He has a lead time of 8 - 12 weeks, and his rates are insane. (Think dealer x 3.)

The thing with dealer is you pay premium pricing for detailing, and then get a hack job
