For me it is the polishing step especially on a black vehicle.

Agreeing on wiping the last layer of LSP off,stepping back, and admiring your hard work

And to top it off... Seeing the look on the car owners face when they come pick it up :)

I like the part where I get paid too!

Waxing. I love wiping off the final coat, taking a step back, and seeing the result of all the work.


I agree. My favorite part is the final wipe where after you're done you know you're finished.

Then it's time to clean-up...

Yea really. way to go flash. I really thought that using iron x was a blast. From being able to visible see rust marks on the paint to it being gone was pretty sweet. I must say though, polishing a dark paint is pretty fantastic as well

After washing my car, I really enjoy using a spray wax because they're easy to use and amp up the shine and protection. That, and I love dressing my tires. It usually takes me about ten minutes to dress all four tires because I'm meticulous about making sure that it looks absolutely perfect.

Cool thread. :dblthumb2:

I like the part where I get paid too!

Agree! And the generous tippers! :)

The final wipe is nice to see the paint glow but I like seeing a clean set of wheels with the perfect tire dressing,not to glossy not to matte.Wheels and tires that look like they just rolled out of the showroom.When doing cars for family/friends they always comment on the wheels first until you point out the difference in the paint or show photos from the camera of before/after.

When your laying on that coat of wax, and your pad is just gliding across the smooth polished surface it just feel right.

My favorite step is the reveal to the owner and watching their reaction.

I was wondering why the poll was closed, then I checked the date :D

I like the washing stage the most. I especially enjoy doing wheels and tires.

I must be the odd one out, but I dont like waxing. After I have finished cleaning a car, the last thing I want to do is spend another 30-40 minutes applying wax and then buffing it off.
