Automotive Makes That Have Eluded You
What mainstream makes or models of cars have eluded you thus far. I'm not talking about exotics or super high end luxuries. I'm talking about the normal everyday cars and trucks you mingle with in traffic.
Up until last weekend, there were two but I finally did a Land Rover so that one's finally off the list. The only one remaining is Volvo - and I've been doing this for 25 years!
I don't know if it's because there just aren't that many of them here in the PHX area or if Volvo owners are just tightwads and don't have their vehicles professionally serviced. Not only have I not done one, I've never even been asked for a quote on one. It's not because my advertising comes across as being preferential to any particular vehicles either. In the past couple of weeks I've done 2 Chevy trucks, an Escalade, a Jaguar, 2 Harleys, 1 Indian Chief, 1 Can-Am X3 Turbo (super sweet UTV totally tricked out with an unreal light pkg, amazing stereo system, ridiculous amount of money in upgrades, etc. I was prepping it for a photoshoot for one of the mag's.) 2 BMw's, an Audi Q8, a ridiculously high profile Dodge truck, a Hummer, a Honda S2000 track racer and a few other daily driver types. Yeah, I'm a wh0r3, I know.
Eric Roberts said in a recent Vanity Fair interview, " I turn down NOTHING!" when talking about how he could have possibly done over 30 movies in 2017. I guess I kinda have the same motto which makes it even more strange that I haven't laid my hands on a Volvo. A freakin' Volvo of all things.
So, which makes or models have you yet to do?

Re: Automotive Makes That Have Eluded You
Oddly enough, we've never done a Volvo either. We've done a Lambo (literally one of our first jobs we ever did, did it near the parking lot of a Tilted Kilt), Ferrari, Aston Martin, old Jag, new Jag, old Vette, new Vette, Porsche, Range Rover, '41 Caddy. No Volvos.

Hmm..... I see a pattern developing here. Maybe Volvo owners ARE tightwads! LOL!

Do you mean Yugo? If so you stole my answer. Lol.
In that case I’ll go with Ford Pinto. I’ve also never had the pleasure of detailing a Cadillac Cimarron.

E2K, if you've ever detailed a Sunbird or Cavalier, you've detailed a Cimarron.

Re: Automotive Makes That Have Eluded You
I have probably cleaned one of everything sold in the states except a Lambo or a Tesla.
I have only detailed a handfull of Volvos though and that includes the 2 I have owned.
So Maybe Volvo owners are tightwads like Coach Steve said
“I have trouble with names and faces, but I never forget a car.”

Now Tesla, I've done so many of those that the pictures on my website make me look like a Tesla dealership. LOL
