Post What is your favorite thing to do?

So what is your favorite detailing operation to perform on your car or other cars? Choose from the poll but also please do post so we can read more about it. Personally, I LOVE washing the car with Gold Class. It's so fun to see the awesome lubrication and the dirt wash right off. I love how the black car looks directly after the wash.

Re: What is your favorite thing to do?

Polishing paint makes me money. Everything else is pretty much filler or the means to an end.

Pretty much agree. I think the reason I like polishing paint the most is that the results are so rewarding (not speaking monetarily). I love watching paint come back to life right before my eyes and knowing that *I* did that.

Re: What is your favorite thing to do?

I say waxing, because you are close to being done with the other steps in the process and can enjoy the results. Where is the "Staring at your results for 15-20 minutes" option? Just kidding, good question.

Re: What is your favorite thing to do?

I'm probably one of the only ones, but I actually enjoy claying a really contaminated car. Love the feeling of how a rough paint job changes to how slick it is afterwards.

Re: What is your favorite thing to do?

I really enjoy the polishing (#7, or DC2), and waxing (#26, Gold Class, NXT, or Zymol Carbon) processes. I also love the first rain, and seeing the water bead on the car! Dang that's awesome!
