Simple really .... might be nice to own one. But what vehicle could/would you walk away from (if a professional) or have someone else detail if owned ??

I read it wrong! I thought it said most want to detail.
I am the single fool that picked the Murceilago!:eek:

70's muscle... to many issues could come up, no clear coat, soft paint, under the hood detailing would be a nightmare too.

Aw come on. I had 1972 Chevelle SS 454 that was the car I learned how to
detail. Light Blue Metallic with Black SS stripes. It shined up real nice and lots
of chrome. I wish I would have kept that baby! Ran like a scalded dog!
It had the Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed tranny. I see them selling for a 100
grand and more.

I heard that Suburu has the worst paint in the business, so I'd stay away from that. Your just asking for problems to occur.

Well...I own both an H2 and a 1969 Camaro. The H2 has alot of stuff to do on it...but the Single stage paint on the camaro is tougher to deal with....not to mention all of the chrome. The under hood isnt that bad....I just pulled the motor so I got in there with a power washer and cleaned it. Now its the correct shade of black.

I voted for the H2, but wish I could have two votes, for the F350 also. I just don't like 'trucks' either for detailing or driving.

i dont see the problem with detiling an H2? i hate them as vehicles but i detail them no problem? the inside of them though is so cheap. try to use any type of cleaner and the silver paint starts coming off. biggest waste of money. its very cheaply manufactured

I wouldn't want to detail an F-350. It takes me all day to wash and wax my Dad's Excursion, but an F-350 would be a lot easier since you can stand in the bed to do the roof. H2 and F-350 get my vote. I'd much rather do an old muscle car because even though the paint is harder to work with, it's going to be a great pleasure to stand back and look at the finished result.

i would strongly agree with the h2 being cheap. what an overpriced chevy. I detailed a black one last week and you're correct you have to watch how well you clean it.It was black, took me 8 hours ,buffed and waxed, and the guy had never looked at the roof before!After all that hard work he said the stupid tailgate wasn't slippery enough!!!!! wow , thats one h2 that can rot before i touch it again...
