3 vehicles you hate detailing

[Grizzly]

Here are my three.

1. 2007 - present Chevy Suburbans. I hate the body style and who the hell pays 60k for a truck only to let their kids trash the thing.

2. Chevy Trailblazers, OMG! POS!!!! Everything is so cheap and I can never get any satisfaction from one.

3. Volkswagon cars - cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap interior materials. It also sounds like an old go cart, espcially the TDI 06 Jettas.

Hey! I'll put the interior of my 2010 GTI up against any car under $60k. However, my '07 Jetta (made in Mexico) I'll agree with you.

What? The current GMT-900 styling is probably one of the most liked.

I think they are nice, but I have a love/hate relationship with them.

I do not think the Sierra/ Silverado are ugly since its a good body style for a pickup. But not an SUV.

What I like:

Interior, major improvement over previous generations.

Great power.

They sound sexy.


What I do not like:

The wheels, they are cheap and ugly.

The plastic liners in the wells is cheap #### that can get damaged easily.

The backup camera could be a little nicer for what you pay.

Price. 63k for an LTZ, #### that.

The original Humvy is difficult with all the rivets in the body work. Mercedes galeandewagens are also extremely difficult.

ha...might want to use a spray as opposed to gel on those tires.

Definitely the mini cooper. Exterior looks great but the inside can take forever.

[Shade Tree]

Minivans that chauffeur children or pets ....... UGH.

Pontoon boats - lots of partying vessels on the lakes here .... along with the aftermath of the party.

Limousines - Kinda the same scenario as above.

I don't "hate" detailing any of my vehicle, but the hardest has to be my 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car. It's just such a massive vehicle (the longest sedan made since 1977, and the longest car of the 70's) that one almost needs one of those "click-lock" ladders to lock over the hood and trunk to get the middle of them...I'm 6'2, and still can't easily get it all. The top of the vinyl roof is the worst. Plus, you need almost 2 bottles of chrome polish for each detailing session.

William,

I rode in one of those in high school. A couple of my friends and I played a game of basketball in it. lol

Talk about leg room.

The wheels, they are cheap and ugly.

I beg to differ. Sure, the chrome-clad plastic wheels they're using on some of the models now aren't too great, but there have been some awesome wheel options available for GMT900s. Take my truck for example:

2. Chevy Trailblazers, OMG! POS!!!! Everything is so cheap and I can never get any satisfaction from one.

Excuse me, cheap and unsatisfying? I've owned four of them and worked on at least a few dozen others over the years, and they're the farthest thing from cheap and unsatisfying.

Well, I like your wheels.

The Chevy Blazers/GMC Jimmys are good trucks IMO.

I just do not like the Chevy Trailblazers.


BTW, I have never seen a Chevy Suburban on a dealer lot with the same wheels on your Sierra.

1) Mercedes GLK in black; big and ceramiclear
2) Ram 2500 Mega Cab
3) Ferrari 348...horrible slots down the side, haven't found a polisher that fits yet, everything needs to be hand rubbed.

Large trucks. ie. dually's
