Fellow detailers...what is your favorite part and least favorite part of the detail?

My favorite part is seeing/hearing a customers response after I have detailed their vehicle.

The worst part is trying to find that balance of a great job and a fair price between my friends and myself that I detail for.
 
I guess I don't really like windows, taping moldings (time consuming sometimes) but what I like doing is removing polish to show the beauty underneath and ofcoarse, finishing off the car:dblthumb2:

I LOVE ALL OF IT!!!! Detailing is so rewarding!! Every single thing is fun, washing, diagnoses, polishing, waxing, shampooing, windows, wheels, engines, trunks, etc....... I am so thankful for having work!!

God loves it when we work with a glad heart. Jesus said “let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5: 14).

It is not just what we are doing, but that we glorify God with our work that matters.

BRING IT - I LOVE IT !!!

If you don't like claying buy a speedy prep towel or Autoscrub towel. I went from doing maybe 1-2 clay jobs a month to doing almost every car I detail.
 
Most favorite - LSP.

Least favorite - Exterior trim (tied w/ interior front windshield).
 
favorite is standing back and looking at the hard work

least packing all my crap back up
 
Favorite: Paint polishing, engine details, washing, and dressing tires!
Least Favorite: Waxing! It's sooo boring! Oh and polishing wheels and cleaning windows for sure. Also claying, that process is way too time consuming.
 
Favorite: all the compliments on a job well done.

Least Favorite: having to live with the fact that I can't magically remove RIDS(OCD), taping the car up(OCD), and the insides of windows(i'm a big man and the bottoms are hard to reach, thank you Stoner's).
 
Favorite - applying and removing the LSP
Least Favorite - cleaning the interior of the windshield and the interior of the backlight glass Glass Master has made this a lot better but nevertheless...
 
Most: Satisfaction of work well done

Least: Cleaning up the buckets, mitts, and brushes at the ned
 
Getting a car that is kept clean , but needs alot of work is my favorite. Getting a car that looks like someone had a buffet in it is my least favorite
 
Worst: For whatever reason, I really can't stand cleaning wheels. Don't mind doing glass, even internal glass and the windshield, but can't stand doing wheels.

Best: Applying that last coat of wax and caressing the contours of the car, then wiping it off to reveal an awesome finish, sitting back and admiring your hard work.
 
FAV: Clay process using ONR@QD.

Critical inspection at this point...
* also product/pad selection of various panels contemplated before test spot.
* Checking for repaint/repaired panels.
Gives an early indication of what the finished product's luster may look like.

LEAST FAV: Picking up and packing...unpacking and putting away once home.
 
Most favorite: Dialing in the paint correction process - which is the best polish/ pad combo to give you the best results - its like a fun puzzle - The end state after all your hard work and seeing the client's positive reaction.

Least favorite: Interiors...especially ones that haven't been cleaned in 3 years lol...I did pick up a tornador black and it looks like it will make interiors a lot more fun...
 
Interior windows, and cleaning foam pads for me..

Best part is standing back and admiring a great job, with the thought in the back of your head,"I think I can still get a better shine than that!".
