Okay, here is another good question for everyone. What has been the most hardest vehicle you've detailed?

Mine was a Mazda Miata and it was white. When you are a tall person, you will always have to bend over the Mazda just to do work on the hood. After working on the Miata, I was in so much pain from bending my back multiple times. ugh. LOL

My Mazda 3s is MUCH easier to work on since it has a hatch and sits up higher that the Miata.

Feed back please

"Hardest" is a relative term...if you're talking simply about time involved, for me it was a '67 Dodge Charger I used to own. It was a big car with a lot of acreage to cover when doing, though most surfaces were flat, and there was a lot of chrome that had to be tended to.

Of the cars I own now...a 1970 Avanti, a 2002 Avanti and a 1969 Corvette, I would say the Corvette is the toughest to detail. It's the smallest of the three cars but it has so many compound curves it takes extra effort and time compared to the Avanti's.

One thing is the same with all three cars...when they're done being detailed, it's a great feeling! It's time for a beer and a cigar!
 
An older black BMW 5 series that streaked if you looked at it wrong. I was ever so glad for that one to go away after I finally figured the paint out and got done with it. Anything and everything smeared the paint or blurred it somewhat.

LOL. There is a place in this town that does lifts on trucks. They know I do not wish to work on those things. LOL That F-350 4x4 dulley will be my limits. Well, Hummers as well. Just nothing with lifts. :D
 
The easiest car I have detailed is my '92 Miata (first gen)

Nice rounded surfaces, no nooks or crannies.

In a rush at a U-Wash I can it in under 3 minutes.

By hand I have 3 stage the car in under 3 hours.
 
My TA. Its Black, Lots of curves, low to the ground and a large broad spoiler to try and get under with your hands.
 
This one was tough because of all the snaps around the cockpit, the exposed door hinges and worst of all the front fenders and hood area. It was also an original all steel car that had ill fitting panels by today's standards, but this was an old school hot rod from the 50's that the owner has kept up on, but not a full blown restoration.

The hood was louvered and very flimsy, so it was hard to use pressure to do any correction. I had a friend help and try to hold the hood sides while I buffed. There were a lot of areas the buffer just didn't fit into very well, either.



It was an awesome car, though. :D

Our '05 Dodge Neon, hard as nails clear coat, need to glue diamonds to a cutting pad to knock the swirls out.
 
My motorhome . Had a buffer in my hand for twelve days in a row.
 
im 6'2". my buddies Z06 was the hardest b.c its LOW...

my Taurus X is nice b/c its taller!!
 
My future son in laws, f-250. long bed. The thing is over 29 feet long. To big for the garage, just a general pain.
 
I have to agree with what some have said about low sitting cars. I am 6'5.5'' and polishing my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse can lead to back pain. I went out and bought four car jack stands and now it is lifted about two feet off the ground while being detailed.
