Fellow detailers...what is your favorite part and least favorite part of the detail?

I thought of this while I was doing the interior of the Mazda 3 because the black carpets grabbed everything and it was a pain the butt to get out the debrit,

I HATE Mazda carpets.

I agree...next time I will charge extra cuz they suck.

my least favorite part of the detail is when i prepare for the detail from getting out the polishes compounds connect the pc to a converter then the plug because my country is 220 volt
plus when i polish an area then hit my geebas flashlight and still see scratches - if that happens i wipe a small area if it has scratch i continue to polish it for one or two sectionpass then i check again and so on


and my favoite part of the detail is when wipe the wax and see the shine and scratch free finish!

Best is paint polishing. Worst is interior windshield.

:iagree:

Although still being relatively new, for me the best part about paint polishing is when you find the combination that works!

Making the final wipe is my favorite...

Starting is my least favorite...

Good answer Jim...

It does seem like the common theme across a very wide spectrum of detailers is our passion for polishing paint. That's what most of the talk is always about on detailing discussion forums. As I wrote in my how-to book,

"Taking a diamond in the rough and turning it into a glistening gemstone"


It's a lot of work but to have a nice car with a horrible looking finish just doesn't work. That means someone has to do the work to make it right and because paint is thin, the person doing the work as to do it right the first time and there's not always room to do the job right the second time.


Yeah and cleaning the inside front and back windows is never fun...

I like the next morning when you go to get in your vehicle and your hand slips off the door handle because of the 5 coats of sealer you put on!

Favorite - The results once you've polished and applied a wax of your choice.

Least favorite - Washing and drying the car. I hate it! Go figure

I have to agree, the worst would be cleaning interior windows, a close second would be wheel wells.

Love polishing and customers reactions

Hate windows and windows (did I mention windows?)
