Least favorite part about detailing?

Yea After The 8 Hour Point I Start Getting Bored With The Whole Thing....:thud:

:yikes: As Far As The Hippie Lettuce Goes..... :joint:

 

i as many here hate the interior front and rear glass. Im 6' and having to contort my body to get in and get it spotless is annoying. also cheap customers as Reflect said

 

What there is a least favourite part? :giggle:

 

This was really awkward. That is all.

 

Not as awkward as when someone walks in on you smelling and tasting Dodo Juice Wax before you apply it. While being naked of course. its hard when u have an addiction :drinking2:

 

I didn't think anyone saw me.

 

Theres video's on youtube.... :crash:

 

:lol2: "it's "hard" when u have an addiction." While in the previous sentence you state that you are naked in the garage huffing dod juice. Oh this is hilarious.

sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

lol didnt even notice thanks for pointing it out. but of course this happened to Spyral :thumb:

well lets get back on topic guys, i just remembered sumthing i highly dislike about detailing. When your friends and family ignore your advice and get their car "detailed" by some car wash. wuts a few hundred to get your car looking like new?

 

Taping before polishing. Hands down my least favorite!

 

Lexus windows - always streaky and spotty and hazy .. never cleans right.
BMW wheels - tooo much damn brake dust everywhere
Bentley grills - .. :duh:

hahah just noticed this was a year old thread! lol. .

 

Well, if we're bringing up a year old thread, I'll have a go at it.

I don't detail nice cars. I do minivans and family runabouts that have been abused...so nothing I ever do can come out "perfect" 'cos it's too trashed to begin with. But I hate cleaning soda off of plastic...which I do on every car I clean. I also hate removing gum from various locations inside minivans. It is so nasty. Even worse was this weird pasty sticky red stuff that was in this Honda Odyssey I cleaned a couple weeks ago. I have no clue what it was, and I don't want to know.

 

good thread!!

for me its definitely paint correction

im fine for the first 2-3 panels then it dawns on me how much more ive got to go - i only do it twice a year and spread it over a couple days

its much more fun playing with paint cleaners/glazes and LSPs

 

From the e-mails I get I'd say glass surfaces, carpets and interior's generally

 

I hate interiors. Frankly, if anyone comes and asks if I'm interested in detailing their cars/vans/trucks and I see their interiors are dirty, I tell them I can do the outside but I will NOT touch in the inside.

Detailing is supposed to be fun, and I'm not going to swim around in someone else's filth. No thanks.

 

I am not a fan of washing the vehicle.... Thank goodness for my foam cannon which is my single source of enjoyment of the washing process

 

You would hate my job. That's where I spend most of my time...swimming in other people's (children's) filth. But the way I see it, better than flipping burgers at McDonalds for a summer job...
