Least favorite car to detail...

My wifes '03 Dodge Durango. Full of convex and concave curves. The space is tight between rocker panels and the running boards.

my least favorite car to clean is a family mini van. ones that have about three kids and they love to eat and drink in them. that means more food, dirt, drink, and trash to clean.
 
My 1997 Monte Carlo the trim on it is horrible and runs along the entire length of the car and then there are like 3 trim line piece going from top to bottom about every 6 inches. Then I would say my truck Like someone else said it is just so dang big it usually take me two days to do complete detailing.

My dads buck Park avenue, he dosent get his car to messy but he demands it be done on his time. He feel that beacasue i dont pay rent i can clean his car which is more then fair. the only problem is that he comes home at 7 oclock after work, right when im going to tkd and says he need his car done for tommorow b/c he has someone important to pick up. I guees I hate the customr more then the car, however im so sick of doing the same 6yr oldc ar over and over

So tell him when he wants his car detailed, he had better swap cars with you for the day so you have more access to it. That's for sure what I'd do.
 
lol theirs no way he gets to drive my car, lol regardless of what he paid (long sotry) but no im way to protective, i know hes my dad but still, plus i dont like driving his car so normally i just end up doing it, or convice him to drive my moms rx330. but ya normally he dosent know he needs his car cleaned untill 5 or 6 and then hes stuck at work making aragments for these ppl (alot of Inidian diplomats, his co. drills for oil in india and so there is alot of last minute notice times)
 
Any neglected black car! I hate it because I expect so much out of myself and it takes a lot of extra work to satisfy me!

I really don't mind the extra work, especially since it means I make more $$. I'm not afraid to make a customer crowbar their wallet wide open if they bring me something in horrible shape!
 
I have a problem with VW interiors. The carpet is extremely difficult too clean/vacuum!! I do not care much for the carpet in the Jeep Grand Cherokees either!! :censored:
 
worse vehicle in the world to detail/wash is Ford 2500 Turbo Disel "BLACK" hate them. Long roof and as you can tell I'm SHORT
 
Yesterday, detailed a Toyota Tundra 4 door. This thing was such a nightmare. I'm 6'1 and standing in the bed I couldn't even reach half of the roof. It was just thoroughly aggravating, plus it was white which is never easy to work on either.

I would have to agree with you on this one. I have 2 of these SUV's on my client list. They take 2x as long to detail as any other vehicle I've done. It's all the plastic trim, bumper guards and light guards that get in my way!

Move Out!
 
I hate detailing cars that aren't "loved."

I dont run a business, but I detail cars of friends & family for extra cash.

My stepdad's GS300 had coffee spills & half-used cough drops (wtf?) stuck all over the interior, dirt & parking lot ground grease all over the carpet & floormats.

The outside had swirls Id expect on a 10 year old car, not a 2 year old one!

When I was done with it, it looked fresh off the showroom floor.

Two weeks later, it looked like it did before I spent a weekend with it. :bawling:
