Which part of detailing do you least enjoy ?

[imported_Burlyq]

Washing, can't stand washing the thing.

 

[Scottwax]

Door jams on cars I have never cleaned before. A 3-4 year old car that has never had the door jams cleaned properly is a real pain.



Front and rear windows with a radical slope are also not very fun.

Rear windows. The high tail lamp is always a joy to clean in front of.

i HATE removing left over polish, and dirty *** door jams as well, and dirty *** wheel wells.

My front windshield (high radical slope as Scott mentioned). its on a Firebird so you can imagine how hard it is to do.

 

[DaGonz]

Windows!

 

[AutoNova]

Windows and roofs.

 

[Eliot Ness]

Filthy door jambs, wheel wells, and interior windows that haven't been cleaned for quite some time.

 

[X-Trail]

I hate wheels and Grills the most.

 

[RCBuddha]

I least enjoy washing and polishing the roof of my SUV. Even with a small ladder, it still is a pain for me to do!

 

[PhilS]

The wonderful British weather

Before knowing Autopia, every part of detailing (except polishing en waxing). After only Drying en Interior that I hate (not as before though)

There are two parts of detailing that I sometimes struggle, its not that I dont enjoy detailing them I just find them difficult.



Hovering carpet on neglected cars where dirt is trapped between the fibres of the carpet, I have great difficult remvoing the dirt even when using a upholstrey brush to loosen the fibres.



Removing tar from the lower panels and skirts which has been on there for some time. Even when using AG Tar Remover it is a time consuming job.



Does anybody have any tips for the problems above?

Don't know if you've already seen THIS or not. I find it invaluable.

Agree, usually starts to rain soon after drying the car off, or half way into waxing :nixweiss :angry

Accumulator,



Awesome! I've been looking for one of those for quite a while, but could never find anything with a weight rating suitable for my Galapagos-sized frame. All the work platforms I've found at the usual places (Menards, Home Despot, Lowes, etc.) are rated at 250 lbs, and let's be polite and say that my weight exceeds that figure by just a wee margin.



The weight rating on the Bauer unit you linked to is 500 lbs. :up :up :up Hurrah for over-engineering!



Thanks again for the link. If I can't find that model somewhere locally, I'll be ordering it up soon.

Not JUST wheels alone BUT the INSIDE of the wheels, where you bump your hands and scuff them off the brake discs.



I also dislike wheels wells as I never am able to clean them properly! lol.

I have to say sittng back with a cold drink after a Zen Like Detailing Session on our own family cars and then BLAM.....Bird Bombed.....

Thanks for the link Accumulator, I was looking for one that was rated to support a higher load.





(ok, no wise cracks about my weight ....my buddha belly gets plenty of love from my lady! )

 

[lbls1]

Cleaning the inside of the wheels would be the least aspect for me.



Honestly, I enjoy the whole gamut of detailing. Once you learn (continue to learn as well) the ins and outs of detailing, it becomes more fun.
