Fine.
Let him be as obsessive as he will. If he doesn't polish off the finish of his bike, good. If he does, it's nothing to me. I don't care either way. It's his time and if shining his bike is a productive method, in his mind, of spending it---good for him.
Where does he live, and can I get my bikes in line?
