Most Favorite Step in Detailing

We all know there are many steps to detailing, most are slightly tedious but necessary in order to have the pristine finish. What is your favorite step in detailing, and please feel free to divulge why and hints as possible to make it more enjoyable for the masses.

I chose washing .... why ?? Because I have never seen a car that didnt deserve and need at least a wash. All cars look better after a wash, considering you use the correct products (a true car wash) and nice mit (preferably sheepskin) and you dry the car properly (waffle weave, and leave blower). And without a wash .... well we could not move onto different steps and truly access the paint/finish.

Waxing. I love wiping off the final coat, taking a step back, and seeing the result of all the work.

Polishing. Not the easiest step, but I love to see the paint imperfections vanish.

wax and/or sealing, nothing beats wiping that final layer off and revealing the fruits of your labor

Useing a ClayBar and Applying/Removing Souveran. But also thinking real hard on the DP max Wax..

Well, I really enjoy all phases of detailing, as they compliment each other. However, I really enjoy polishing the paint to perfection. I also believe it provides the most significant improvement in the appearance of the vehicle.

I also really enjoy "final detailing"... applying a great gloss enhancing QD after all the other work is very satisfying.

Sealant here, especially since spray sealants like WG Sealant Spritz and UPPS were invented. After giving my cars their weekend baths, I just spray and wipe for that ultra durable, deep gloss finish, awww...

Thorough cleaning of the windows is very gratifying as well. Nothing beats cruising around with crystal clear windows.

I just love using the PC

Like Miami Sunset I like the PC. In fact it is to blame for my continued obcession with Detailing. It helps take care of all the scratches and marring that I create doing my favorite thing. Quick Detailing a well prepped and protected paint every day. Some days I do it more than once.
