Biggest Pet-Peeves in Detailing?

[coles_paint_correction]

Biggest one for me is usually roofs of cars or trucks, just a pain sometimes to get to the middle and causes fatigue on the body.

Easy: Windshields and back windows. If I wanted to do Yoga I would join a Yoga class

inquiring minds would like to know! The easiest is to take the car for a spin but can’t do that to a customers car

Mainly dealing with customers on the pricing aspect, they don't understand the love we all have for vehicles!

Never mind the love... They don’t understand the time and effort that goes into it, not to mention the cost of products if they were to try and buy all the stuff we just used on their vehicle.

For some odd reason I hate when people make detail threads with color changing wheel cleaners and take a photo of them agitating it with a little brush.

Why do you hate that? It’s not like any of the color changing wheel cleaners have the capability to fully clean a really dirty wheel caked with brake dust on their own.

Pet Peeve: Seeing towel marks appear on glass when the windows fog up.

Another Pet Peeve: The fact that everyone alive today has a smartphone, yet the majority of AG forum members can’t seem to be able to post pictures.. It’s like the easiest thing in the world through your phone + Tapatalk.

Who’s even on here via PC? Phone is so much more convenient.

Lol. I’ve got an equal to that... For me it’s when people rave about having their wheels coated, yet still mention using whatever brushes [typically Whoolies or wash mitts] to clean their wheels... I think to myself “so what’s the benefit of coating the wheels? Beading?” I couldn’t care less whether my wheels bead or not. I want to bypass the grunt work of bending down and scrubbing.
I’ll trade beading x2 for wheels that stay forever clean. Lol.

What benefit does having to scrub your wheels with car soap have over being able to spray the wheels from afar and easily rinsing them fully clean with something like Megs Wheel Brightener? I’ll choose the no scrub method 10 out of 10 times.

I think the benefit of coating your wheels is to protect the clear coat of the rims. That being said I've coated every part of my car except for the rims. For the rims I just use hydro 2. I mean I'm going to trix the rims when I wash anyways so it's easy to just spray it down and rinse the rims for protection instead of going through all that work to coat it.

Another pet peeve.. went to my parents place today and looked at his rav 4. In November I had polished his car out to about a 90 percent paint correction with a one step so it looked great. Sealed it with a combination of Dr Beasley plasma coat and hi Def paint sealant. Got there today and he's using a mop to wash the car again.. lol

Ahh man tell me about it. I’m surprised no ones mentioned that 1 yet, [well maybe they have, but it certainly deserves to be #1] because I’m pretty sure we’ve all experienced that. Those people just can’t be saved. They will always succumb to their bad habits of rubbing dry paint with shop towels, dry mops aka California Dusters, terry towels, and everything else that will certainly cause swirls & scratches. I believe the term for them is “lost cause” lol.
