I think I'd want to listen to music and just lose myself in the work I am doing...

What do you guys think of or do while detailing.. Please share..

Here is my typical thought process:

Wash, wash, wash, polish, polish, polish, nacho burrito, wash, wash, wash, regret nacho burrito, clean up, $$$.

Nacho Burrito, be careful Nicholas that could require a full blown interior detail ;)
 
I put on some music and get lost in what I am doing. Despite concentrating on the task at hand, I find it is an excellent opportunity to just 'let go' and I find my mind tends to deal with what it needs to during this time.

Seem to do a lot of 'deep' thinking while I am detailing.

I love the break it gives me from the hassles of every day life

Absolutely true, I could not agree more. It's kind of like by concentrating so hard on the task I'm doing it frees up my mind to the focus on the things I need to think about.

it's all about the profit.


things that run through my head...
- a hot water extractor would really come in handy here
- a larger garage would really come in handy here
- a dry ice blaster would really come in handy here
- a car lift would really come in handy here
- did i buy a lotto ticket for tonight's drawing?
- did i eat lunch?
- i dont remember eating breakfast
- what time is it?
- o crap! better go buy a lotto ticket before it's too late

When using the DA, I think I want the rotary. When using the rotary, I want to switch to a DA. Maybe my head is telling me to get the flex :)

Agree with everyone that it is very relaxing!!

But honestly the only thing that runs through my mind lately is that I need some stronger mosquitoes repellant

about time how long I have been on this job.What time is it ? How long it will be till I am done. What the next job is how long it will take.Where the hell are my workers.I am going to put there cell phones in the trash.lol
 
What do I think about? There's a car load of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders driving by and they stop, get out, and 'ooh' and 'ahh' over my beautiful car's finish. But that's more like a fantasy. LOL

What do I really think about? How much faster and easier this polishing and waxing/sealing job would be if I had a DA.

:D
 
Only two thoughts dominate my feeble brain:
1) Get it right
2) Get it done

LOL I know how you feel. I ALWAYS feel like I am in a crunch for time when doing a client's vehicle. It is a completely different and more relaxing experience when I'm doing my own rides.
 
I think a myriad of things...but I'm ADHD. Detailing my truck and blasting music in my ears helps keep me on track.
 
1. Bill$

2. Collegiate daughter.

3. Ill mother.

4. But mostly this, regardless of what's playing in the background.


 
1. this better look good after 5 hours in ALabama heat!
2. I,m glad I,m not doing this for a living.
 
I think about all sorts of stuff! Good things, bad things, off the wall things, you name it lol! I also do a lot of thinking while I'm mowing.
